Nood era

Cartoon Network used to have short commercials that promotes various television shows, such as Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. These commercials feature Noods, or small, peanut-shaped, human-like creatures that can change their color. Heather, Gwen, DJ, Chris, Harold, Cody, Trent, Chef and the Bear have all been created as Noods. Owen was seen as a nood at a New York City convention, but not on Cartoon Network commercials.

If balls of color hits a Nood, they turn into whatever color that ball of color was, or they change into a camper who wears that color. For example, a Nood that gets hit with a ball the color of Heather's shirt will turn into Heather, or a Nood that touches something blue will turn into the color blue.

This rebrand didn't last forever, because in February 2010, the older Nood commercials didn't air (or didn't air as much as they used to), before another rebrand in June 2010, featuring no noods at all, ending the era, and beginning a new one.

 * Another commercial spoofed Paintball Deer Hunter where DJ, Harold and Heather open fire upon each other behind some trees with Paintball Guns.
