Cartoon Hangover is a Frederator-operated YouTube channel and adult animation brand that launched in February 2012 as part of the YouTube Original Channel Initiative.[1] The channel (along with Cartoon Hangover 2, Cartoon Hangover FRA, Cartoon Hangover ESP, Cartoon Hangover DEU, Cartoon Hangover POR, Cartoon Hangover NED, Cartoon Hangover ITA, and Cartoon Hangover Uncensored) is part of the Channel Frederator Network.[2]

Frederator produced two animated series exclusively for the Internet: Bravest Warriors, created by Pendleton Ward[3] and Bee and PuppyCat, created by Natasha Allegri. Previously, they produced SuperFuckers, created by James Kochalka.[4] Cartoon Hangover would also host Frederator's fifth and sixth cartoon short incubators: Too Cool! Cartoons, which was planned to feature 39 shorts but ended up releasing only 11 shorts,[5] and GO! Cartoons, a joint venture with Sony Pictures Animation that launched on November 7, 2017.[6][7]

Cartoon Hangover was previously available on VRV (as "Cartoon Hangover Select") until December 2021. The YouTube channel would be inactive from 2019 until 2022, when a new trailer for Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space was uploaded on August 12.

On May 11, 2023, Frederator launched the Cartoon Hangover Shots incubator program.[8]
