Every cartoon that aired on TV in the '90s and 2000s was awesome

And they never showed reruns of anything from past decades, so it doesn't exist

    You seem a tad bitter, mahboi.

    Yeah, you're being way too bitter about something so ephemeral; what is more, you are stereotyping people's opinions in a questionable way.

    Yes

    (I am far from disdainful of those decades' animation on the whole; the '90s were a magical time, the 2000s were kind of malaisey, but I get sick of the pedestal that junk like CatDog is placed on)

    I have not met that many people who actually liked CatDog more than a little. It was just kinda there. I'm thinking it's the circles that you run in.

    It was my favorite show as a kid for a little while.

    HOWEVER I seem to be in the minority here and it might not hold up.

    80s cartoons FTW

    Now, the 80's were a wasteland of cartoon cheese that people seem to love disproportionately.

    Of the three big eighties toy commercial franchises, Transformers interests me the least.

    It goes He-Man>GI Joe>Transformers

    Transformers was the only one of those I was into, although these days I will admit it was cheesy crap

    I also liked The Real Ghostbusters and My Little Pony (G1)

    But didn't He-Man/She-Ra have at least one or two actual characters, sort of?

    ^ Huh.

    I went strolling through the "2 stupid dogs" tag on Tumblr and encountered a bunch of this shit

    Because Tumblr.

    It's like people who actually care about Rise of the Guardians. While I don't necessarily hold their choices against them, they do not represent all of cartoon-viewer-kind.

    He-Man has a Jack Kirby's Fourth World thing going on I like.

    GI Joe is the cheesiest crap and has many stupid characters, which I like.

    Transformers G1 is just ugly robots battling for who knows what. I will admit later series have some good points, and Beast Wars actually sounds decent, crappy old CGI notwithstanding.

    Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    the main thing I know about early Transformers is that Orson Welles' last role was as a planet-sized robot.

    I liked the ones that turned into fighter jets

    Naturally, they were the bad guys

    You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.

    I remember liking 2 Stupid Dogs when I saw it late at night

    I don't hate it at all

    But I only ever remember it airing in the middle of the night on Cartoon Network until it found its way to more accessible timeslots on Boomerang

    Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken cut their teeth working on that show

    80's animation was all about concept and general aesthetic and rarely had any concern for execution. 00's cartoons tended to be... pretty damned fantastic, actually. Sure there's a lot of bland, bad, or forgettable stuff but there IS also Avatar, early Spongebob, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and Megas XLR.

    Early Spongebob was genuinely fantastic and utterly baffling. Shame what happened later.
  • OdradekOdradek

    Every early episode of Spongebob is too utterly ingrained in my head to judge it at all.

    I know what song they should play on the last episode.

    I do notice that nerd culture in general doesn't seem very fond of animation that predates the '80s, unless it's a Disney movie (or possibly Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry)

    nerd culture is a huge pile of poop which is for nerds, feel free to ignore it.

    ...what is "nerd culture" anyway? I keep defining general "nerd culture" as, like, the sorts of interests that appear at conventions.

    It just hasn't been the same since WB and Disney replaced their cartoon lineup with trashy sitcoms.

    This. Some people just didn't grow up with this stuff at all.

    Another factor is that while some of that stuff still really holds up, a lot of it is very much of its time. Some of these shows rely on pop culture tropes that would be familiar to a 60's child but not a 90's child. Others were just not that great to begin with despite their nostalgia value, as many shows from the 80's and later were as well.

    I get you, but it is still kind of bizarre to me that not even Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry and such seem to exist in the minds of '90s Kids™.

    They do show up on my Tumblr dash, at least.
