The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera. It is also a minor meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.
History[]
The Jetsons originally aired in prime time from September 23, 1962, to March 17, 1963. It was later changed to syndication, with new episodes from 1985 to 1987 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera block. It was Hanna-Barbera's Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones.
The Jetsons is not a meme inherently, but it is memorable as being the opposite of The Flintstones, as well as existing in the same continuity as that show and even making a guest appearance in the NES game The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy, which 7 GRAND DAD is a bootleg of.
Prior to 9/11 2016, it was forbidden to use any jokes relating to The Jetsons or its theme in a high quality rip due to an excessive amount of requests for its use. The only two references to The Jetsons were during April Fools' Day 2016 to post an unedited track and in "Main Theme - Superman 64", which revealed that it is banned.
The team decided several months in advance to use The Jetsons only on 9/11.[1] It's unknown why 9/11 was chosen, but it's speculated that it could be because of SiIvaGunner's in-universe hatred for the show,[2] the name of George Jetson referring to George Bush (the U.S. president during 9/11), or simply because of the word "Jet".
In "[The SilvaGunner Timeline: A Summary of Events]", it is explained that The Jetsons debuted on 9/11, but they crashed into a tower and were never seen again. Since this is canonical to the channel's lore, The Jetsons has remained banned from submissions.

The Jetsons was used in many of the rips uploaded on 9/11 2016, which were subsequently all wiped from the channel. In these rips, the theme song was frequently used for melody changes as a counterpart to how "Meet the Flintstones" is used.
As for rips that can still be found and viewed on the SiIvaGunner channel, there are only four rips featuring the theme song, all of them being medley rips relating to 2016 channel events:
- "The Jolly Flying Man - EarthBound" (where it is interrupted after the first note), for the Undertale 1st Anniversary event.
- "CACHE BOSS - BIT.TRIP FLUX" (where it is interrupted after the fourth note), for the Season 1 Finale.
- "Stage Select - Mega Man 3", for Christmas 2016.
- "Stage Select (Full Version) - Mega Man 3", an updated version of the Christmas 2016 rip.
The Jetsons has been referenced a few other times by the channel, but the majority of these are simply mentions of it being banned. When rules for submitting rips are shared, "anything related to The Jetsons" is always listed as banned. In the King for Another Day Tournament, Johnny Bravo's source list had Hanna-Barbera cartoons, but he was explicitly forbidden from using any music from The Jetsons (as well as The Flintstones). During the Space Jam Charity SLAM! livestreams, "requests of anything related to The Jetsons" were listed as one of the types of requests which would be automatically rejected.[3] The current exceptions are "File Select Fusion", "This announcement is not on YouTube.", and "The SiIvaGunner 7th Anniversary Art Gallery", which make no reference to the banning even subtextually.
