Why, yes I do. Fortunately for you, I am a cartoonist and animator.

If you're going to do an animated variety series, you're going to have to need some new, fresh, and creative ideas. You can try and do a pun, jokes, genuine laughs, or a comical twist. But you have to make sure you're ready to make the variety series first.

In order to have a good animated variety show, you need to have good ideas.

Examples:
 * A guy chasing another guy with a baseball bat due to having his cookie eaten
 * A mouse catching a cat because of it being Opposite Day

But you have to make sure it's not overused (like Weegee, Shoop Da Woop, Dinner, Spahgetti, Hotel Mario, Over 9000, etc.) and if you do, you have to do it once in a while and do it well. Same goes for jokes. Some jokes get overused many times, and if you do that, it's gonna get old fast. And if you do something overused, you're probably not gonna get praise over it and you may get bad replies. And look how good that did for Johnny Test and Phineas and Ferb.

You need to have enough material to do a sketch series properly. You'll have to wait a few months before you start on episode 1. You need to have a large amount of good jokes and sketches first. Incredible Crew (I believe) had at least over 220+ skits made first and then carefully organized for their 13 episodes.

And you should NEVER try to copy or steal other variety series' material. You'd get in some huge trouble with the creators of the original material.

And also, look at TV variety shows and YouTube variety shows first (I'd recommend YouTube because TV variety shows these days are really crappy). That way, you won't coincidentally do the same ideas as them and maybe get some inspiration. Heck, how about you start with seeing my show, WUTLOL? The entire first season combined video is up on this wiki. Look on the WUTLOL season 2 production has begun thing on my user blog.

And, most importantly, 'DON'T RUSH. TAKE YOUR TIME. DON'T GO THROUGH WITH IT OVER A FEW HOURS. THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE, THE BETTER IT WILL BE.' I've seen some of these that were rushed. The first four parts of WUTLOL were done daily from December 31, 2011 until January 3, 2012 and I stopped until June that year because I was out of ideas. And then I took my time with it. The first four parts aren't exactly the best of WUTLOL's run, but a reason is because my drawing style wasn't fully developed yet. A few months after part 5, the style was completed and was experimented for part 6 and is how I animate the show since. And I don't do it daily anymore. I do it every now and then, because that's the most recommended way for animated variety sketch series to be done. Remember when The Lazer Collection 4 turned very crappy? That's because the fans were pushing and begging for him to do it shortly after the third one came out. That's why we waited for a few years for the fifth one to come out. Never forget these 3 words. Time and effort.

Also, NEVER give up! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER! I think NEVER is my new favorite word. :P

Remember these tips and advice, and you go through it just fine.
