'''''I Am Weasel''''' was an ] ], created by ] and broadcast on the ]. Its basic premise is a somewhat twisted take on the classic ] ]; in fact, the theme song of the series, sung by ], is based on the well-known musical version of the rhyme.<ref>"'''I. R. Music Man'''": The Red Guy repeatedly switches from the theme tune and "Pop Goes the Weasel".</ref>

''I Am Weasel'' was originally a part of the '']'' show, often airing as the middle of three segments, in between two ''Cow and Chicken'' segments. ("The Ugliest Weenie", a two-part ''Cow and Chicken'' story, even made reference to the ''I Am Weasel'' cartoon interrupting the storyline.) Eventually, ''I Am Weasel'' was ] into its own series, airing between 1997 and ], with both new episodes and the episodes that had aired on ''Cow and Chicken'' included in that series (much like how '']'' was spun off from '']'').

The series usually consists of two ] animal characters: I. M. ] and I. R. ]. Both characters' species are as suggested by their names.

I. M. Weasel is highly intelligent, and is skilled in most if not all known professions, anything from ] and ] to ] and ]; he is also incredibly charming and well-versed in the social graces, and will often have a pretty girl named Loulabelle at his side (a recurring character, usually dressed as a nurse). Weasel's only real flaw is a secret desire to suck the yolk from eggs (though such behavior is actually a characteristic of the ] family, which is of a different order of mammals than weasels). He is usually the only successful character in a given episode. The standard image of Weasel wears no clothing, though he will often don outfits appropriate to his activities (such as a lab coat when working as a doctor or scientist). He is prone to declaring "I am Weasel!" before leaping into a situation.

In contrast, I. R. Baboon is considered dim-witted and slovenly, uses incorrect grammar when he speaks (for example, I. R. stands for "I are"), and is very envious of Weasel's success. He is often shown doing the opposite of what would be considered sensible, and sometimes displays ] behavior (as when he was determined to plug every hole in the world). I. R. Baboon has few skills (either social or practical), but was discovered unexpectedly to be a ] on the ] (apart from the fact that the theremin is faulty and causes earthquakes when it is played). Baboon wears only a T-shirt with a handwritten, inverted ''"I. R."'' (as suggested in the opening video); his protruding red ] is often highlighted (as in the episode ''I Are Terraformer'' when he wore a ] and there were two separate bubbles on the rear for his buttocks), and serves as a focus of others' ridicule. He attempts to outdo Weasel at everything, and when he believes he has succeeded, he performs a routine victory dance, placing his hands on his hips and jumping around in a circle while repeatedly chanting a declaration of his success. In some of the episodes, Weasel and Baboon are actually friends and work together.

Episodes usually star only Weasel and Baboon, but later episodes, beginning in ], usually have ] included, too. As in ''Cow and Chicken'', The Red Guy plays a ]-like character, but ''I Am Weasel'' also grants The Red Guy a new ]: ''"Hello!! It's me!"'', usually followed by his identity in that particular episode.
The other Cow & Chicken charcters also appear in some episodes.
