Favorite Cartoons? - KarthXLR - 06-20-2009

Since I'm feeling nostalgic, why don't we talk about favorite cartoons? I mean, there are great gems out there, some that others on the forum don't even know about. Just make sure to share it's genre, why it was great, whether it was successful or not, and background information if you care to share.

Well go ahead!

Angry Beavers, it was funny, weird, stylish, and well, stump!

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Tragic Hero - 06-20-2009

Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Garfield and friends, Looney Tunes (the good racist kind), Ed Edd and Eddy, Eek the Cat (and thunderlizards), X-Man, Batman: The Animated Series...

I know theres more but i'm too tired to delve back far enough.

Tonight, it has been declared that Megas XLR= American version of TTGL.

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - KarthXLR - 06-20-2009

Curses Epic, you posted it before me. Sad


Since I might as well, one of my favorites would have to be:

Genre: Parody, Action, Sci-Fi

Megas XLR first aired on Toonami in 2004.

The plot started off in the year 3037, when Aliens had conquered Earth and Humanity was at war (straight from the sci-fi plot machine), so in an attempt to end the war, the remaining Earth Forces attempt to send a mecha, named MEGAS, back in time to stop the aliens from attacking in the first place. However, the machine is damaged and the time machine accidentally sends the robot back to 1936, instead of 5 years or so that it was set to go back. We fastforward to 2004 when Coop (our fat, uncool, and clumsy hero) buys the robot from a junkyard for two dollars (two dollars that he didn't pay anyway). He modifies the robot so that it will use a hot rod car for a cockpit, instead of the cockpit the future human forces gave it. He first shows it to his friend Jamie (The "Brock" of the show, lusting for fame, fortune, and girls) who recommends he returns it before someone finds out. Pretty soon, Commander Kiva (The tough hot chick from the future Earth forces) arrives, hoping to locate MEGAS and return it to the time it belongs. She eventually finds the Robot/Car Hybrid, demanding that he return it to her and the future. Before long, the aliens arrive on the scene, fresh from the future, in attempt to destroy MEGAS before it destroys them. This starts the long epic adventure of MEGAS XLR.

The reason this show was awesome is mainly due to the fact that the plot was actually good. It had "Villain of the Week" type episodes where-in they would solve a single plot in one episode. Another reason was the humor. Perhaps a little too mature for it's audience, the show is basically a parody of every action series that involved giant robots (anime, Power Rangers, Zoids, etc.), and what more, it's actually funny. It was also a parody in itself, involving hilarious jokes, funny situations, and really clever jokes about New Jersey. Yet another reason this show is awesome is because, well, it actually WAS awesome. It had fantastic action scenes where a lot of the city would be destroyed.

And as if the show wasn't good enough yet, it has by-far one of the best intros to a show I have EVER SEEN.

And what else to top this off? After a successful 2 seasons, it's canceled. Why? Who knows. Another end to an incredible series of my Childhood.:'(

Now that I think of it, this show really reminds me of Gurren Lagann. The Girl looks the same, the plots are similar, both involving Giant Robots...eh, probably just me.

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Vongore - 06-20-2009

I'd go with The Tick, Invader Zim and FlapJack.

There haven't been cartoons i've enjoyed and laughed more than with those

Captain Bucky O'Hare, Captain N, Earthworm Jim, Freakazoid, Winnie The Pooh Bear, Home Movies (possibly the greatest cartoon of all time)

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Sponson - 06-20-2009

I HATE THE DMV!

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - shoopfox - 06-20-2009

Rocko's Modern Life, Pinky And the Brain, Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy, Gary the Rat, Pepper Ann. I kinda remember old Doug being kinda cool but I was like 8 or something. Oh, and Aaah! Real Monsters or whatever the fuck it's called. I just remember their teacher was a super tranny with like 8 highheels.

...What the fuck is on TV for cartoons now anyway? The last time someone had Cartoon Network on at their place it looked like it was all shitty flash animation and amerime shit.

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Sponson - 06-20-2009

Most of it is shitty flash and amerishit. But I hear Chowder is pretty good, though Ive watched only a few episodes. And Flapjack is MAZING.

Also: Ed Edd and Eddy's big movie

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Badgerman of DOOM - 06-20-2009

Chowder is awesome. I've seen but one episode, but it had me laughing most of the time.

YES

Re: Favorite Cartoons? - Luinbariel - 06-20-2009

Hrm...

There was a batman series I liked but I forgot which one it was. I like Gargoyles when I could catch it (we only had about three channels for most of my childhood so I got what was there). Of course I liked TMNT, that show fucking rocked.

There was some anime on at that time, so I liked that too (Escaflowne, Card Captors, other girly stuff). And yes, I fucking watched pokemon all the godamned time.

There was also a retarded robin hood cartoon I used to watch all the time.

Gargoyles was, and still is the most bad ass Disney cartoon ever.
