I think I remember Cartoon Network running a commercial or something at one point where Van Partible explained that the name Johnny Bravo came from his full name (which I don't recall) such that basically his middle name was "Giovanni Bravissimo" or Johnny Bravo. Anyone else remember? I'm new to Wikipedia, so before just editing the page, especially since I don't have definite proof, I just added this comment instead.

You'd definately need definite proof before adding that in

What Happened to the Episode List!?

It was moved to List of Johnny Bravo Episodes, obviously (read the first line of the "plot" subtitle in the article)

4 Johnny Bravo Movie Contradiction.
- 4.1 ===========================
5 Jessica Biel

[edit] Theme Song

I think the Rev. Horton Heat did the Johnny Bravo theme song,I don't know if this bears mention in the article.

[edit] Double-layered humor

I think it should be pointed out that the humor in Johnny Bravo is also double-layered and occasionally very adult in nature. One example I can point out off the top of my head is when Johnny was in trouble, and his mother came riding in with the cavalry. When Johnny asks how she managed it, she mentions that she 'used to be a member of General Hooker's brigade'. Children laugh because Johnny's mom was in the military. Adults laugh because 'General Hooker's Brigade' is widely considered to be a phrase that preceded the development of the term 'hooker' in reference to prostitutes, even though there's no basis for the assumption.

If that is added, it should also be noted that the "double-layered"-ness is removed in translation to other languages

[edit] Captain Stupid

Does anybody know why they changed Captain Spaz to Captain Stupid? Straightxedger 10:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I can only imagine that they thought it might spark some kind of controversy.--Tenkosaurus 14:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

It probably is only vandalism, though

[edit] Johnny Bravo Movie Contradiction.

I noticed that in the brief synopsis of the show, before moving on to the categories explaining the show in further detail, it says the following: A live-action movie based on the series has been announced, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Johnny. The movie is still in preproduction, and little to no information is available as yet. However, in the trivia, this information is immediatly contradicted with the following: A live action film starring The Rock as Johnny Bravo is in production, and is set to be released in theatres in the US on November 21st, 2006. The Rock considers it to be a great honor to play Johnny Bravo.

What i'm trying to get at here is that the latter info in the Trivia section of the article contradicts what was originally mentioned in the synopsis, because if what the latter says is true, it would be a logical impossibility to do all the production in only a few months.4.154.246.105 05:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Why would you be stupid enough to pick The Rock as Johnny Bravo? They aren't even the same color, and The Rock can't act a part to save his life. This will sadly be the worst thing that could have happened. I'll have to go on living knowing that the great Johnny Bravo cartoon was killed by The Rock. May he die in pain.

Amen!

Who the hell thought of making a live action movie out of a cartoon deeply embbedded in it's cartoonish nature (I know it sounds dumb)anyway? Garfield and Scooby Doo were bad enough

So is it true or not? We're in mid October already, and no word of that film. Also, Rock's not much of a comedian, or at least he never made me laugh when in WWE/F. Maybe he was chosen just by his muscles and his eyebrow movement. 200.104.77.12 01:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
