Certo Mode 

When you find out you are about to get drug tested and you drink CERTO fruit pectin mixed in gatorade. If you time it correctly, your system will temporarily make your piss read clean on a urine test.
I applied for a job, but they require employees to pass a drug test. Looks like Ima have to initiate Certo Mode.

Friend 1: Idk what to do bro, my parents found a pack of joint papers in my car. I might be fucked.
Friend 2: They might drug test you. Wanna run to WalMart and get some gatorade? You might have to initiate Certo Mode.

Cartoon Network 

A Toon Network that went from its Golden years to its Crappy years.

How I miss The Cartoon Network City Era (You know, the era where cartoons interact with each other in a city and they have great music and Nikki and The Now/Next with character heads)

Great shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Powerpuff Girls, Megas XLR, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Time Squad, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Duck Dodgers, Dexter’s Laboratory, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Teen Titans, Johnny Bravo, Codename: Kids Next Door, Camp Lazlo, Xiaolin Showdown, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Samurai Jack, My Gym Partner’s a Monkey, Cow and Chicken, Skunk Fu and Mucha Lucha have no schedule anymore because of the NEW Cartoon Network. If it wasn't for these shows, Cartoon Network wouldn't be so awesome!

They took off Toonami few years later...

BIG MISTAKE!

We have no idea why it got cancelled but I got 4 guesses:

They hate anime for being so much more popular than cartoons, Censorship, Toonami is too popular to Cartoon Network or Cartoon Network thinks anime shouldn’t be on a cartoon station

Because of this anti-anime act, Naruto got taken off like 3 weeks after.

The shows they aired were

Hamtaro
Cardcaptors
Pokémon
Pokémon Chronicles
Yu-Gi-Oh
Yu-Gi-Oh GX
Tenchi Muyo
Tenchi Universe
Tenchi in Tokyo
Naruto
Zatch Bell
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball GT
Gundam Wing
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
One Piece
Rave Master
Duel Masters
SD Gundam
Gundam SEED
.hack//SIGN
Gundam 0080
Rurouni Kenshin

Yu Yu Hakusho
G Gundam
IGPX
Blue Dragon
Sailor Moon

Now that Toonami is off, where will we get more anime to watch and how will they make Saturdays nights feel special and where are we going to watch more anime movies and where will we be able to see more Naruto episodes?

We only had 10 more to get to Shippuden Season!

The only anime we have left are Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's and Bakugan.

NOT ENOUGH!

What's worse is that they are doing CN Real (Cartoon Network Real) added REALITY shows this year in 2009!

Survive This, Destroy Build Destroy, BrainRush and The Othersiders

They are also adding SlamBall! :(

All of these shows suck and they're gonna fail because no one gives a flying hoo-ha about them.

Like Nikki, the female announcer of the Cartoon Network City Era said,

"This is Cartoon Network."

With all these reality crap they can't call themselves Cartoon Network anymore!

The only good cartoons we have left are Chowder, Total Drama Island/Action, Flapjack and Johnny Test.

The Thumb Wrestling Federation thing is pure retarded and it's lame. As if anyone wants to see thumbs in wrestling masks and stuff. The thumb characters are mostly idiots.

The curfews have decreased by one hour too. So now Cartoon Network ends at 10:00 instead of 11:00.

Anyone who believes the NEW Cartoon Network sucks and that we need the old Cartoon Network back along with Toonami, rate up.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
