Laugh! TV Comedy Network Originals

Background: Laugh! TV Comedy Network was an early attempt at an all-comedy basic cable channel. It was created by Yoshi and was launched on April 1, 1990 only to merge with it's former Hesker competitor, The Funny Channel on April 1, 1991, ultimately forming Comedy Planet.

(April 1, 1990-April 1, 1991)

Logo: Up against a white background, we see a box colored yellow, blue, or green and a humorous activity (usually a prank) taking place inside it (sometimes an arm is seen below it) animated with 2-D animation. Below the box, text in yellow inside a black rectangle says the name of the prank. When the activity is finished, we see a close-up of the side of someone's face in the cartoon, with the 3-D text "LAUGH!" slightly skewed up in white, yellow, or red and sometimes effected by whatever happened in the activity, and the name of activity below the box changes to the text "TV COMEDY NETWORK" with a trademark symbol next to it.

FX/SFX: Simple 2-D animation.

Music/Sounds: A '40's like trumpet tune, and the sounds of whatever is going on in the logo. Sometimes the trumpet music is omitted.

Availability: Extinct.

Scare Factor: Low to median, it depends on the activity in the cartoon.
