People who think 3d Mario is worse than 2d Mario

Odradek · 2016-09-17 02:34:34

Same

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 02:36:35

oh but i definitely sorted BTAS into that same category, of grim violent boy cartoons that weren't funny

when i was a little older i liked BTAS a lot more, though

Anonus · 2016-09-17 02:42:22

Hooray for being kids who didn't like action cartoons much!

Anonus · 2016-09-17 02:42:43

I liked Bruce Timm when I got to be a preteen though

Salix Babylonika · 2016-09-17 02:42:48

I don't understand Odradek's disdain for The Simpsons.

also I think the only time I have heard the X-Men cartoon referenced was that one video that is just a bunch of scenes from it randomly cut together into a nonsequitorial mess. That video is great.

It ruined the communcation abilities of a generation

Anonus · 2016-09-17 02:59:34

who are these people

it's like when I was railing against "Scooby Fans" because I wondered if John K was on to something

lesson learned: man has skillz with a z but he is a crank

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 02:59:54

^^ well i mean, only in so far as Monty Python ruined the communication abilities of a preceding one

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:00:13

People who are unable to communicate without referencing bits from the Simpsons that are, invariably, not funny out of context

Anonus · 2016-09-17 03:00:15

also, some people's disdain for Scooby-Doo: What if I told them that the left wing and the right wing are both part of the same bird?

It's not as bad with Monty Python.

Simpsonskids are literally unable to comprehend reality outside of the context of a lame Family Guy precursor

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:03:20

i know you're talking about a real thing but it's like

'ruined the communication abilities of a generation' makes it sound like there's this group of people who love the X-Men cartoon, hate 3D Mario and quote the Simpsons all the time, when it's more like, a lot of people quote the Simpsons from time to time but very few people quote them incessantly, and the other two are just mildly popular opinions i guess

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:03:47

There is a new Simpsons quote on my twitter dashboard for every hour of every day

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:05:17

i'm guessing you follow a lot of people?

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:05:36

Nerd critics do this all the time too

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:08:05

Well that doesn't surprise me, because nerd critics like reference humour, and the Simpsons is an easy reference to make that most of their viewers are going to get

idk it's just when you say 'Simpsonskids' i'm justl like, those are not a thing, lots of people watched that show and it's very quotable, they're not like a subculture or hobbyist group or anything like that

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:10:46

It's this whole area of culture I am locked out of, because I didn't have the childhood Simpsonskids had, which apparently involved being locked in a room playing the first ten seasons on loop for five years.

I went and watched the most famous episodes once but it was not enough, because "getting" conversations between Simpsonskids, who are frustratingly omnipresent requires knowing shit like what Krusty's dad sounds like

Nothing in life should EVER require knowing what Krusty's dad sounds like.

Imipolex G · 2016-09-17 03:12:35

I remember the episode with Krusty's dad but I forget what he sounds like

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:12:38

well it was a popular show

idk what to say here

i feel locked out of the conversation when people talk about the Premier League, because i don't follow it

or when people talk about stuff that's "all over" twitter or facebook, when i am on neither

Obā-san · 2016-09-17 03:14:42

yesterday everyone was talking about Milo's fursona and it took literally 3 hours for me to figure out what they were talking about because nobody would actually mention who they were talking about

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:15:03

These people are unable to just say "I'm waiting for it" they say "Krusty's gonna get here"

Fuckers

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:18:47

https://twitter.com/SimpsonsQOTD

Every day I see this

I don't even follow it but I might as well

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:23:11

ohhhhh

so there's a popular twitter account that posts only Simpsons quotes, and people retweet it

suddenly this is making more sense

Section42L · 2016-09-17 03:23:50

You should mute that account.

I’m not saying you should be magically avoidant or however you might respond to this, but muting one Twitter account is a reasonable thing to do in such a circumstance.

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:25:40

Sure

People will still not shut up about reverend Lovejoy or whatever dumb unfunny character

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:26:56

well i mean, it was a very funny show at the time

Odradek · 2016-09-17 03:27:43

I'm being more bitter than I should be. The Simpsons had great episodes and was a trailblazer, I just hate it being a holy text

Section42L · 2016-09-17 03:30:38

I'm not saying it will fix everything.

It will at least make your Twitter feed more pleasant for you to read, if nothing else.

Anonus · 2016-09-17 03:31:11

^^I loved SpongeBob as a kid, but I feel similarly about how Tumblr acts like everyone of a certain age knows every pre-first movie episode by heart

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:32:42

i can see interacting with a show entirely through out-of-context quotations on an hourly basis being very annoying

Imipolex G · 2016-09-17 03:33:43

this is what it's like when people fill a thread with references to Homestuck or Steven Universe or something

to me

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 03:59:57

i love both those things so much that i find that quite saddening.

Imipolex G · 2016-09-17 04:02:44

well, we can't all be into everything

Klinotaxis · 2016-09-17 04:03:11

you seem to dislike both

Imipolex G · 2016-09-17 04:20:05

not really dislike, just feel indifferent.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-09-17 04:21:17

Cf. me never having watched an episode of MLP:FIM and having little desire to do so.

Bee · 2016-09-17 04:23:41

This is one of those things I can never bring myself to feel much more than the most mild annoyance over.

Like, Homestuck's ubiquity came about as close as anything would, and even that caused a resounding meh.

tbh a lot of the fans seem to care far more about fanart and fanon and fanfic and shit than the show itself

Tachyon · 2016-09-17 04:25:20

no you don't understand!

MLP:FIM was just an OK cartoon! Steven Universe is legit really good and impressive, in so many respects!

(disclaimer: it's actually fine to be indifferent to SU)

Anonus · 2016-09-17 04:26:15

horse world kicked it up a notch or five though

the only people i've seen talking about milo's fursona are the ones who actually linked to it and i am worse off for having seen that

Calica · 2016-09-17 04:27:21

frankly, all of humanity is worse off for having paid attention to milo yidontgiveafuck after he stopped paying his employees before he even ended up at fucking breitbart

Obā-san · 2016-09-17 04:28:50

milo's fursona is a 6/10, would be a 7 or 8 if it werent for the hair

it really captures his douchiness

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-09-17 04:29:08

Honestly, I know that there are things that people reference—that I reference—that, in relying on that knowledge for their full impact, alienate some folks who don't share that set of interests, but I smile regardless, because it reminds me that some people do, in fact, care about what I care about. I just try not to overdo it.

Bee · 2016-09-17 04:46:06

I'll admit the love for Steven Universe kind of puzzles me. The show just irritates me for some reason in a lot of the same ways Spongebob did. But people aren't obnoxious about it so...meh.

Anonus · 2016-09-17 04:47:14

What ways are those?
