Besides full length cartoons that were a huge staple of Nickelodeon they also had cartoon shorts that were very well done and full of humor. Nickelodeon also released these cartoon shorts on certain Nicktoons video tapes "mostly Rugrats video tapes"
The Nickelodeon cartoon shorts were,
1. The Off-Beats
This cartoon centered on kids having fun adventures full of humor
2. The Non Adventures Of Safety Queen
In The Non Adventures Of Safety Queen Safety Queen taught kids about taking care of themselves in a comedic manner and was one of the popular cartoon shorts of Nickelodeon
3. Inside Out Boy
Inside Out Boy was full of humor and was very well done
It's a real shame that Nickelodeon doesn't show cartoon shorts anymore and they should bring some new cartoon shorts that people would love to see and it would be a huge hit on Nickelodeon today

Hi, Bestie! I agree. Nickolodeon should have matured with their audience and had an adult swim version of Nick, along with the regular one. But it looks like Nick is full of people collecting paychecks instead of innovating.

There were many more shorts than just those, starting with Nickelodeons inception as a local station (where it was called Pinwheel TV) in 1977. Many shorts came from different countries as well as from local animators and studios.

I did like the Nickelodeon bumpers that came from other countries, but this guy says it all about Nickelodeon!...
