If that wasn’t abstract enough … there was Ren & Stimpy.
At least they gave us Rocko to let us know what adulting would be like before we got there.
"Welcome to... Heck!"
"The power of rice compels you!"
Laundry day is indeed a very dangerous day.
Every episode of that show was like a fucking fever dream.
But Ren & Stimpy was never meant for kids afaik.
It was on Nickelodeon before they had like 7 different channels tailored to each demographic.
Pretty sure Johnny was canonically 19 - it's still cringey if it were real life but WAY less weird.
Cartoon Network Exec: Woah, momma!
Also he's ripped af, probably on steroids and uses sunglasses all the time
He also talks like Elvis? But he’s blonde and also it’s never actually addressed.
Actually in the lost media pilot. Lost in as much as the person that has it will not share it with anyone. Johnny wasn't blond.
Elvis was though, he dyed his hair
Elvis with a vertical haircut
Wait what’s wrong with wearing sunglasses ?
He probably stoned AF
He also talks like Elvis? But he’s blonde and also it’s never actually addressed.
I agree with exec
That 30 years old guy was already 30 years old 20 years ago. He should be about 50 years old now.
Catdog was even stranger
As a youngling I have always wondered how do they poop, and even today that question haunts me.
Seems like old cat dog have mastered the three day poop challenge huh?
Cartoons used to be hillarious. Now they're just... boring if you ask me. I stopped watching CN after Steven Universe started, that was the last straw, I just couldn't watch any more of that BS.
Have you ever watched any of The Amazing World of Gumball?
OMG, I forgot about that one, lol 😂. Yeah, from these new shows, that is one is most defintely worth it, love Gumball ☺️.
I thought Rick & Morty was amazing for the first season and then I saw the man behind the curtain. They had no idea what they were doing, huh.
Yep, forgot about that one, Rick and Morty rocks, but no new episodes are being produced as far as I know. Gumball, Rick and Morty, they are most definitely worth it.
It's kinda like Beavis and Butthead for kids, lol 😂.
Why do you think they had no idea what they're doing?
They keep making Rick and Morty. And so far they didn't fuck up, still very funny.
Good to know 👍.
I would argue that the latest season of Rick and Morty tied up a lot of lose ends and felt like it had a good amount of world/multiverse building. Funny and enjoyable.
I agree, that season (6?) was really good.
Steven Universe started out seeming goofy, but turned out to be a fantastic coming of age story though; Genuinely one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Excellent world building and does a great job of handling complicated emotional topics without infantilizing the viewer.
If you only saw the first couple of episodes, you should definitely give it a proper watch. If nothing else, give the song "Here Comes a Thought" a listen, I assure you it's worth the time investment
I just don't like it, too serious for my taste, not enough humor, and the little humor it does have, it's borderline funny. The main reson I don't like it is exactly that, it's like a self help show. I wanna be entertained, not drown in depression elaborating emotions. My wife does that, I have enough of that in my life, don't need a show to do that as well.
Basically, I want humor in cartoons. IMO, they're made to entertain, period. Some of the old shows may not have had adequate humor for children, granted (though I think it depends on the child, I've watched most of those shows while growing up and IMO they were all great), but that doesn't mean they weren't funny. They were hillarious. Cartoons nowadays are too serious, always mixing emotions and how to deal with them. My guess is that parrents noways wanna leave this educational aspect of the child to the TV too, so my guess is that kids watch these things cuz they don't get any input from their parrents regarding these complicated subjects.

One of my all time favourite cartoons. That and ed edd and eddy
Fucking loved Ed, Edd, and Eddy. All time favorite as a kid.
pretty sure it was just foreshadowing for redditor's
Fuck yeaahhh dude
Ed, Edd and Eddy. Code Name: Kids Next Door. Frankie Foster's Imaginary Friends. Kick Buttowski. Kid Vs Kat.
Literally every show was based in USA, and everyone's privilege was on steroids. It gave a lot of shock therapy, and even taught bad stuff to kids, honestly, and that goes even for Kodomomuke shows from Japan.
MegasXLR, Two Stupid Dogs, Courage, Billy and Mandy, Evil Concarne, Chowder... so many good shows...
Was it really for kids? It was a cartoon yes, but so was Ren and Stimpy
