The Cartoons Topic.

So in the RAGE topic I made a bit ago I noticed some people kind of going off-topic with various cartoons deemed to be better, so I thought "well lets just make a separate topic for that altogether."

So basically you can just discuss what you like, what you don't like. etc. etc. I'm pretty sure most people here watch or have watched cartoons so it'll be a good discussion I hope. also cartoons is a very broad description it can be ANY animation. So anything foreign 3-D, etc. whatever ya think is good or not good and is animated.

I'll start out with one of my favorite cartoons and major comedic influences.

Freakazoid, I was 9 when Freakazoid hit Kids WB and was starting to understand things a bit better as most kids do when they get older, ANYWAY This show is random. not Robot Chicken random, just.... random. Tiny Toons and Animaniacs were random but seemed to have some sort of order, in that they were trying to capture the golden age of animation like the Looney Tunes. Freakazoid on the other hand is pure chaos. It's about a super hero who gets all the knowledge of the internet and gets super powers based on that, good GOD what if there was a super hero like that today....it'd be nothing but viral videos, memes, and porn. *shudder*

But yeah, just the comedy of it; the timing, dialogue, delivery of the dialogue and the various actors who played their parts, all made me laugh. Whereas Darkwing Duck made me want to draw, Freakazoid molded my humor.

Intro and 3 clips in the spoiler tag, and I can't wait to see what others will say!

Gotta give some love to Megas XLR. Such an awesome show full of many great parodies of giant mech tropes, excellent characters, and bitchin' music, I mean just listen to this theme song. :love:

Oh man, Megas XLR was hilarious. :love:

Don't we already have a topic about cartoons, or was it just about childhood cartoons? whatever.

I used to really enjoy watching 3D animated shows from Mainframe Entertainment, most notably Reboot and Beast Wars. Those were the days... damn near exploded in my pants when I heard about the DVD release of Reboot :P

Was fan of Gundam Wing for a while, too, among other things from Japan.

These days, I don't really watch cartoons anymore. Nothing really out there of any interest to me that hasn't already been done to death or dumbed down from when I was a kid :(

I'm not to surprised by you not knowing of Gargoyles...there were many people in my age group while in high school that had no clue what it was either (I'm 19, born in Dec. of 1991) though not knowing of Courage the Cowardly Dog is a bit more surprising to me. Although I have heard of some that didn't know the show, it's not common to find people who haven't at least seen an episode or two. It's no biggy that you don't know the shows...I was a lonely child so I watched TV a lot when I wasn't busy with homework or playing with the very few friends I had. ;) No worries though about you not knowing Gargoyles! Like I said...not to well known at least for those that I knew in my school.

Well I still watch the old cartoons, mostly because they are actually more entertaining then everything else compared what "modern" TV has to offer. And still brings memories of GOOD entertainment.

@ Miw - Have you at least heard of Dexter's Lab? Powerpuff Girls? You're not a very good 90's baby if you haven't seen those. The only way you could redeem yourself is by downing a handful of Ritalin.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, circa 1990. Always came on at 4 pm every day. I used to have the theme song memorized.

The Flintstones and Tiny Toons were a staple of the noon hour, though it was more my sister who watched those.

Those were favorites of mine (Powerpuff Girls a bit of a guilty favorite along with Sailor Moon) when I went to my grandmother's in summer. I never had more than just bunny ears on top of the TV, still only have those in fact, but my grandmother has always had cable.

But of course one I most certainly remember from my childhood was this:

The Melancholoy of Haruhi Suzymiya.
I've been planning on watching that again.

If my household wasn't such a poor one, I too might have heard of most of these. Sometimes, it makes me hate how I never paid attention to what happened when I seven.

Seriously, I could go on for hours on how this show defined my every weekend morning for a few years, but that'd take too long. So I'll confine myself with the following: Tim Curry as Captain James Hook.

"My haberdasher?!"

That is all.

Some might remember an old MTV Beavis & Butthead spinoff Daria:

Spoiler


Daria Morgendorffer is a smart but sarcastic, non-popular girl high school student and her life revolves around hanging with her only friend Jane, teasing her little sister Quinn, tolerating career mother Helen, calming down stressed dad Jake and trying to be as unnoticeable as possible in school. Everyone in the main cast seems to have issues, but then again, in the crazy world only madmen are normal... The series is not packed with action, but stereotypical cast, ironic comments and teen angst make it at least worth a try.

Kind of a trip down the memory lane to remember it now. Thanks!

Samurai Jack has awesome animation and action scenes, but I find it very lacking on the storyline. Either way, Genndy Tartakovsky is the Tex Avery of modern cartoon and the world of animations is very much better off because of him. A few mentions of his greatness:
  • Two Stupid Dogs (his starring cartoon)
  • Dexters Lab
  • Powerpuff Girls
  • Star Wars: Clone Wars


Two different cartoons which deserve mention are Rocko's Modern Life and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Lost in the sea of Nickelodeon's crap, mass produced cartoons, these two shows stood out like a pair of golden coins on a steaming pile of faeces.
If you though Freakazoid was random and crazy, Rocko' Modern Life took crazy to the extreme. I have no clue how it managed to pass age restriction standards. That show was SICK, disgusting, mind-boggling and pure awesome. Real Monsters was a more simple show, but very entertaining and relatively well drawn.

and now that I opened Rex's spoiler, Angry Beavers was actually pretty good, too!
Rugrats was crap, though :/

yeah, but Ren and Stimpy was R-Rated and only had one season. Rocko was G-rated and had lots of episodes.

Edit: Yeah, it actually had 5, just checked, sorry. But only the first one ever played when I was a kid, so I never got to see any others.
