dang that is screwed up but i was referencing "boss daddy " and getting your throat stepped on...

I know Aubrey Plaza gets throat stepping requests all the time. No kink shaming from me but that's one kink that perplexes me.

Korra should not be in this at all.

My natural instinct is 2. But I would probably go 6 cause it's the funny people.

I don't know who any of those people are.

The 1990s were the absolute lowest point for cartoons for children. Every single one just screams, "wimpy."

Batman: The Animated Series

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Bugs Bunny road runner hour, Superfriends, Tom and Jerry(the only order one) are examples of peak cartoons from my youth.

Batman: The Animated Series

Never watched it, but my impression is, although perhaps watched by younger kids, it was more targeted towards older kids.

I cannot say all 90s animation was terrible - just the ones targeted towards the Nickelodeon demographic. I cannot include Ren & Stimpy because that was an outlier. But, Duckman, The Simpsons, B&B, Space Ghost, Johnny Bravo, South Park, King of the Hill, Spawn, Liquid Television... and so on, were great cartoons not directed towards young kids. The animation for the Nick cartoons was, by and large, atrocious and looked like it was drawn by first graders.

The Mighty Heroes was one of my favorites from back in the day.

I'm sitting at 7 just to hang with Invader Zim. I was a Jhonen Vazquez superfan in my 20's. Zim, Rocko, Ren and Stimpy are the best of the batch with Rugrats an honorable mention.

See, Rugrats, to me, is the height of wimpiness. I realize I was not in that demographic when it came out (I be old), so I might be yelling at clouds, but babies? BABIES? Really? I came across it once or twice when my nieces and nephew were watching and it I about wanted to vomit. Hell, My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake look like Shaft and Dirty Harry by comparison. And the animation...The. Worst. Animation. In. The. History. Of. Television...with the possible exception of Bob's Burgers.

I'm not trying to take a smash on anyone's childhood memories, and I don't blame the kids of that time (I blame the programmers and era of "touchy-feely" emotions and "junioring" everything, such as Animaniacs).

Now I need a nap. And some fiber. I wonder if Matlock is on.

What the hell is wrong with Animaniacs? Besides the Rita and Runt shorts which were absolue trash. They were the closest we got to the classic Looney Tunes. Plus the Warners were basically The Marx Brothers in spirit. Now Tiny Toons, they aren't worth revisiting.

6 for me yeah. That would be a zany lunch

 

[BernieParent]

I'll add the Bullwinkle and Rocky show, which was a different kind of zany than Bugs Bunny; breaking the 4th wall by talking to the narrator, for example.

EDIT: I should have checked out what others had added and simply tacked onto @Jack Straw's post.

 

[Amorgus]

I remember Rocky and Buklwinkle being like four minutes of actual episode and the rest being intro, credits and bumpers. That pissed me off. It's like all I ever saw was them growing up into flowers and credits whenever it came on TV

Yes, Tiny Toons, which I confused with Animaniacs.

Here comes NAFTA for knowledge workers....large sucking sound as Perot would say...

A.I. is on a collision course with white-collar, high-paid jobs — and with unknown impact

Technology has disrupted many workplaces. Artificial intelligence like ChatGPT may have an outsized impact on higher-paid office jobs, experts said.

Noooooo. These things usually don’t bother me, but this one got me good. Whether you liked him or not, entertainment in general is better when ideas as weird as Pee Wee get the rope to do things as they wish.

I’m very much a “the person who likes the art is right,” guy, but could you imagine how forgettable Who Framed Roger Rabbit? would have been if they went for any other animation atmosphere than original Looney Tunes? Disney was right there. Hell, they’re in the movie. But it wouldn’t have worked on any level.

That movie is a masterpiece. Look at how much effort they put into it to integrate the toons with the real world. For example, they built the nightclub set on a platform so that they could send real trays full of real drinks on poles down the aisles and then added the penguin waiters in animation. If they took the easy way out and animated everything they touch, it has no cohesion at all.
