King of the Madness Isles Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Fanboy and Chum Chum. That show sucks. It has the most disgusting potty humor that only a bratty eight year old would laugh at. Trust me, when I was eight, that show would've made me not watch TV for a month.American Dad is awful. It seems to be the scrap heap that Seth McFarlane uses for all the ideas that don't make it onto Family Guy. And the scrap heap in case the scrap hear overflows is Cleveland Show. And the scrap heap in case all of that overflows is the brain of whatever moron wrote Bob's Burgers.And the newer seasons of Family Guy aren't too good either.I rank the Foxtoons like this:Great: The SimpsonsOkay: Family GuyBad: American DadUtter Garbage: Cleveland ShowRepulsively Stinky Pile of Garbage: Bob's BurgersAnd then any other show I don't know about.Most of Cartoon Network's shows as well. Regular Show is awful, Adventure Time is horrid, Gumball is baaaaad, Flapjack was rottenly decayed awfulness, and Chowder was the shovel they clean out elephant cages with.On a brighter note, a good cartoon is the new TMNT. I've only seen maybe half of the pilot episode, but it reminded me strongly of the Matrix.EDIT: And then there's that trash called Arthur on Adult Swim. Actually, let me rephrase that-there's that trash called Adult Swim.

dotcom Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Adventure Time? Nuclear War? waht?Adventure Time is set in post-apocalyptic Earth. After the whole world got nuked and hit by a giant meteor. Which is why the series and world is so zany and nonsensical. But even then it's all treated very fairly. We get to see the perspectives of some characters after the nuclear apocalypse (Mushroom War, get it?) and it isn't pretty. Though yes, Adventure Time is very much dark.Seriously.There is a lot of death treated fairly realistically. (The last episode had what one can consider the main villain kill and impersonate Finn's biggest hero) and has ridiculous amounts of soulsearchy character development. In one episode they go to a somewhat tame version of that-place-that's-opposite-of-heaven.Adventure Time is amazing really. And if you think it's all stupid you're not thinking about it too hard. Regular Show is awful, Adventure Time is horrid, Gumball is baaaaad Wait what.Are you evenHave you ever even watched those shows?

Plus the fact that fantasy characters are doing that stuff is irritating.Wait so a dog faintly farting at the end of a great episode and Tree Trunks going crazy and wanting to make Finn her sexy crystal king is "so bad?" I mean okay yes, that last part does sound pretty odd, but it doesn't compare with her future apperances, specifically Dream of Love, in which she spends the entire episode making out with a pig. (Which is, by the way, hilarious).It's not a kid's show. It's a show, first and foremost. The fact that it is primarily aimed at kids shouldn't restrict its creative direction, because the stuff kids won't understand is included purposedfully. Any show that can realistically talk about pregnancy and death and loss and etcetera while still being fun and ridiculous is a good show by my standards.Though really. If you complain about such inconsequential things like that I wonder how you would respond to Lady & Peebles? That stuff is seriosuly dark.

Axilus Prime Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If you mean dark tone as in murderously violent and all that, I don't mind that kind of thing. (I watch movies and shows like that all the time, and they're great.) I also don't mind the occasional potty or sexual joke.I just don't like the mixing of the latter with fantasy shows.

Jean Valjean Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Avatar.Naw, I'm just jossing you. Although the movie by that name liked to pass itself as seemless live-action when the CG looked to be video game quality to me. That, and the story was bland. Just putting that out there.Anyway, regarding actual animation...I am no fan of Johnny Test, being a form of farce comedy that I find distasteful, but what really got at me back in the day was Spongebob Squarepants. There was only one good episode (The Bubble Bowl) and otherwise it was the epitome of stupidity. I have good friends who like it. I respectfully distinguish my tastes from theirs.Meanwhile, Jimmy Neutron was also horrendous, and I'll go with the flow and agree with what others here have to say about Cartoon Network in general, although I like stuff that uses their classic characters like Bugs Bunny.24601 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they cancelled it so that they could air jewels like "The Problem Solverz" and "The Amazing World of Gumball".*facepalm*I also have to agree with Jean, the humor of Spongebob Squarepants was just grotesque. The worst part was that, whenever my friends roped me into watching it, I'd get this terrible empty-headed feeling that wouldn't go away for hours.

King of the Madness Isles Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yes, I have watched those Cartoon Network shows. I disagree that they are perverse, though. I love Simpsons, so sexual jokes in cartoons are hilarious to me. I just find them stupid. Maybe Adventure Time isn't horrid, but I would say it is mediocre at best. Regular Show and Gumball are just moronic. Oh, and Jimmy Neutron sucks, as well as Fairly OddParents. I hate those shows. As for Spongebob, it was good pre-movie, and the occasional episode now. Just like the Simpsons, the quality declined, but where Simpsons went from 10 to maybe a 9, Spongebob went from 9 to 4. I did see a recent Spongebob episode that had me laughing when Patrick immediately starting chewing on a shelf of valuables Spongebob just told him not to touch. Normally that wouldn't be funny, but the animation and the look on Patrick's face make the joke. Quote "The moral of the story is, I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way.

dotcom Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) And I haven't seen the Crystal Tree Trunks episode, but from the synopsis I found it seems that there's some cross-dressing. Are you honestly calling cross-dressing perverse? Seriously? Honestly? In a world of war and murder and such like, you think someone dressing as the opposite sex is perverse? I'd like to say you're entitled to your opinion, but there are some instances where you aren't, and this is one of them. I know your parents might have told you you should think that, but you need to start forming your own opinions and thinking for yourself. If you honestly believe that then, well, your condition is far worse than I thought. Sounds like a nasty case of an overly sheltered childhood and a warped idea of the world passed down to you by the bigots of the previous generation. Not good.- TiliusThe crossdressing is in the episode Tree Trunks. I think he meant her second episode, Crystals Have Power. (In which Tree Trunks is a crazy crystal magical elephant who controls a bunch of crystal warriors because they're in love with her and she wants Finn to be her sexy crystal king so he kidnaps him and etcetera) That being said, I wouldn't doubt he also found TT perverse as well, and I agree with you.It's certainly not the last occurence of crossdressing in Adventure Time. I just don't like the mixing of the latter with fantasy shows. I find it strange. But as we've all been saying throughout topics like this, that's just an opinion.I really don't get why the fantasy setting is such a problem to you. It's a comedy show first and foremost. It utilizes all kinds of humor, stooping both low into potty humor and high above the target audience's head. I'm not saying that that's all perfect. I could do with most of the toilet humor (with some exceptions, such as the bananas in Daddy's Little Monster), and perhaps the sexual undertones can go a bit too far for the demographic to even begin to comprehend (ie Lady & Peebles), but I don't see how the softcore fantasy setting in particular invalidates everything about the show.I don't care if people have different opinions about things like Adventure Time, but I will always strongly object to claims that the show is utterly unintelligent or overly perverse or lacking a plot, because that is superficial nonsense of the highest degree.

PutYaGunsOn Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) This animated movie from somewhere in Southeast Asia (I believe Indonesia). It's called Beauty and Warrior. The story makes no sense, the protagonist is stupid His evil twin brother fights him for his magic sword, and even though the protagonist wins, HE HANDS THE SWORD OVER ANYWAY, lets his brother go off to do evil things, and then vows to stop him...wut., there were only like, two voice actors (one male and one female. That's it.), stock footage was overused, and the animation was terrible.Though if you like to schedule bad movie nights/run a bad movie club at your school/whatever, I'd definitely recommend this movie.

Hodor Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles was one of the most grueling endurance tests I have ever seen. Even without my love of Genesis Climber MOSPEADA and SDF Macross already souring me to Robotech, this is a terrible movie. It fails even as a mindless giant robot action romp. It also resolves literally none of its plot.None of it. Good writing? What's that?If we're including anime in the 'cartoons' thing, Mars of Destruction is simply the worst thing I have ever seen. There is literally nothing good about it. It's only 20 minutes long but they are 20 minutes of pure agony to sit through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J46 Nui Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Family Guy, hands down. Along with the clones of that show that the creators of Family Guy put out. For something that touts itself as a comedy, I have never seen anything remotely funny in any of those shows. It seems that the people who made completely forgot what humor was a long time ago and now mistakenly believes that shocking and disgusting stuff is funny.

Pantera Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The thing that I hate about Adventure Time is how it tries to make a joke or humorous scene, when really, it just turns out weird. Like the episode where Princess Bubblegum first turns back to a 13 year old. The snail at the end was just stupid. (Yes, I know it showed up earlier in the episode.)Also, these are kids who are watching. Don't show how a person experiences extreme heartbreak (like Finn did). Quote Led Zeppelin? Yes.

And when the Dragon Ball series make Goku into a little kid. And the later series of Pokemon. And Beyblade. And this Spiderman show where all the characters were hateful. And Scooby Bloody Doo.

Protodite Karzahni Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Christ, there's a show called Full English being aired in Britain right about now. It's intentions are, without the slightest hint of a lie, to present British opposition to the animated giants of The Simpsons and Family Guy. I watched it for a bit and then had to turn it off because it was just so cringe worthy. If there's the one thing the British can't do, it's shock humour. It was being controversial purely for the sake of being controversial, not to offer any kind of subtext or social commentary. No, they just had the ghost of Princess Diana punching the ghost of Jade Goody. I wasn't offended by the grossly inconsiderate content, I was offended by the way they seemed to expect me to find this hilarious. That and exploding planes don't make for good comedy.That wasn't even the worst part. They weren't trying to hide the fact they wanted to be Family Guy. The character archetypes were exactly the same and the animation showed a wannabe "me too" element to it. It didn't look warm or amusing, it was just scratchy and lacklustre. Then there's the voices. Well, there's nothing to comment on because everyone was so bland and unmemorable, with perhaps the exception of Richard Ayoade from the legendary The IT Crowd. What he was doing in this trite is beyond me, but what the producers didn't seem to realise is that Richard isn't famed for his whiny voice. So why they'd hire him for voice acting is far, far beyond me.So frankly, this has to be among the worst cartoons I've seen. A shameful attempt and absolute proof that it's not just American translations of popular British shows that fall flat on their face. The British can mess things up just as bad.
