Newest Nicktoon 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' To Premiere First Episode On YouTube

Sorry to spoil the surprise, but hey the thumbnails speak for themselves

Nickelodeon is getting ready to premiere its next Nicktoon in a very special way. On Saturday, August 19 at 11 AM, the network will be premiering on what is currently the Nickelodeon Cartoon Universe YouTube channel a full episode of that Nicktoon currently presented as a mystery, but those on top of their animation news were able to recognize as Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Yes your next multi-buddy anthro Nicktoon in the vein of Pig Goat Banana Cricket (which is currently not available on Paramount+) is starting up very soon. The show’s logline reads:

Rock, Paper, Scissors brings the iconic childhood game to life! This character-driven comedy follows the hilarious shenanigans of roommates Rock, Paper, and Scissors on their hijinks and ridiculous adventures. Rock, the moral compass of the group, is always struggling at his dream of becoming a model; Paper is an inventor and the brains of the group (if by “brains” you mean “making stuff that’s always blowing up”); and Scissors is the wannabe cool guy whose ego brings an endless fountain of chaos to these three friends. No matter how much they compete and mess with each other, at the end of the day, they will always bond over their shared love of one thing: wacky nonsense.

Rock, Paper, Scissors was the first finalized short to be ordered to series from Nickelodeon's first Intergalactic Shorts Program. Its first season order was for 20 episodes. The series and its preceding short is created, written, and executive produced by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. They previously created Bizaardvark together for Disney Channel and co-produced and wrote for Paradise PD and Robot Chicken. Conrad Vernon, co-director of Shrek 2, Monsters vs. Aliens, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and Sausage Party, and The Fairly OddParents’ Bob Boyle, who created Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and Ying Yang Yo!, serve as the series’s executive producers.

While the YouTube channel is currently known as Nickelodeon Cartoon Universe, the channel handle has been changed to NickToons, with even the sneak peek bubble using the logo of the linear channel. Header images and streams have adopted a graphics package similar to what it has as well. A full transformation is expected for the channel that began as for Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Full premiere details will probably start coming for Rock, Paper, Scissors once its identity is formally revealed.
