Awesome Antics

Awesome Antics is an American hand-drawn animated sketch comedy series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio. It was released on November 11, 2016 and ended on August 16, 2019. Awesome Antics is inspired by Cartoon Network's MAD. Also, it contains hand-drawn animation (for skits and shorts) and flash animation (for intermission segments).

Recurring sketches

 * Wolf vs. Sheep - The segment features a hungry anthropomorphic gray wolf, who tries to catch a sheep, but failing. Based on Antonio Prohias' Spy vs. Spy, MGM's Tom and Jerry and Warner Bros.' Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. The cartoon is animated by Paramount Television Animation.
 * AABS News - The segment features SpongeBob SquarePants and Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory as news reporters in AABS News, which is stands for Awesome Antics Broadcasting Service. Based on MAD News, while its name is a parody of CBS News.
 * Cartoon Break - The segment features flash-animated intermission sequences with inanimate objects.
 * Agent Xero's Post Office - The segment features Agent Xero and Mole are working at the post office, which is before the skit or short starts.
 * Batman vs. - The segment features Batman fighting cartoon characters and video game characters, which is used for later episodes.

Voices
Unlike MAD, whose voices were in its majority peformed by the show's writers, with regular voice actors appearing in recurring or guest roles, the voices in this series are performed in its majority by regular voice actors. Most of its voice cast already performed other roles in other Nickelodeon television series.

Animation
The animation was outsourced to AKOM Production, Ltd. (for Wolf vs. Sheep segments), Sunwoo Entertainment (for main skits) and Renegade Animation (for intermission segments).
