I Am Weasel (also spelled I.M. Weasel after the character) is an American animated television series, created by David Feiss and broadcast on the Cartoon Network. Its basic premise is a somewhat twisted take on the classic nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel"; in fact, the theme song of the series, sung by April March, is based on the well-known musical version of the rhyme.

I Am Weasel was originally a part of the Cow and Chicken 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 spun off into its own series, airing between 1997 and 1999 with reruns airing until 2004, with both new episodes and the episodes that had aired on Cow and Chicken included in the series (much like how Pinky and the Brain was spun off from Animaniacs or how Evil Con Carne came from Grim and Evil).

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

I.M. Weasel is the extremely gifted, talented protagonist of the series. He is a handsome young weasel who, although famous, is not snobby or stuck-up and is rather generous (for in one episode he donated his kidney to a sickly little boy in a kidney transplant) and is the distinguished celebrity who everyone admires. He is highly intelligent and has many skills (both social and practical), and is proficient in most known professions. Though Weasel was never a bully to him, the fellow main character I.R. Baboon (see I.R. Baboon below) is always trying to top the admired weasel because he wants an equal or better share in admiration, though unlike his rival, Baboon is extremely idiotic and the target for ridicule because of his bright red buttocks, but Weasel tries to generously help out his friend. Weasel is often assisted by a beautiful woman named Loulabelle who likes to dress as a nurse.
