  Hey there, pretty mama! Johnny Bravo strutted onto Cartoon Network in 1997, bringing his Elvis-like swagger and hilariously misguided attempts to woo women. Created by Van Partible, the series follows the muscular, dim-witted Johnny as he tries (and fails spectacularly) to pick up women, often getting into strange and surreal situations along the way. Despite his vanity and cluelessness, Johnny is ultimately harmless and often finds himself learning lessons (or not) about life. The show's humor comes from its slapstick comedy, pop culture references, and Johnny's over-the-top personality. It was a staple of Cartoon Network's late-90s lineup and is remembered for its distinctive animation style and catchphrases.
