Oh Yeah! Cartoons - Lollygaggin'

This is my personal favorite cartoon short from the Nickelodeon anthology series, "Oh Yeah! Cartoons," where they would show three cartoons, some of which later went on the be actually shows for the network itself. In this short, Lollygaggin' says one too many lies that she becomes confronted by a drooling fib creature who is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.

Lollygaggin' (voiced by Nicole Saletta) is a really relate-able character. Sometimes, in her life, she was kind of a depressed seven year old who sometimes lies even when depressed. But then, karma comes to her one night. What I can say is that this cartoon kind of reminds me of "Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space!" because, it has some similarities. Examples include some sound effects, and the fact that whenever Lollygaggin lies, the monster grows into a much bigger lie, or as TV tropes likes to call it "Make my monster grow." Obviously, Guy Vasilovich watched the video himself back in 1997 and did homework on it, had kids, and said to himself, "Hmm, maybe I can do a cartoon that's kind of related to this story, except much shorter. I'll pitch it to Fred Seibert. He'll be so happy." And that's what he did. I will say, Lollygaggin as a character is cute, but not all that cute. But it is cute when she cries. Just look at this screencap right here.

If you wanna see the cartoon for yourself, here's the link:
