"I always loved cartoons and took them very personally! Read into them too much, wanted them to be real. So I want to make cartoons that are meant to be read that way, overanalyzed, and taken personally because they really are meaningful, that's my dream!"

Yeah pretty much.

I haven't seen more than a few episodes of this show so I'm not too sure if it's a canon cosplay or not.

I didn't know there were so many cosplayers for this show.

Anything with Brendon Small or H. Jon Benjamin but not Seth McFarlane. Therefore the perfect cartoon is Home Movies as it is the only cartoon that fulfills all three criteria.

I refuse to live in a world where Archer and Bob's Burgers are second tier. :colbert:

Venture Bros. is the best show, therefore that cartoon assessment is flawed.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

The best proof I have to suggest people are loving incredibly much dumber than previously thought is their biological urge to get INSIDE the TV and live there. It's a cartoon you defective mutants.

Can you not act like loving parakeets mesmerized by a mirror in your cage and just casually watch TV in the background without becoming totally transfixed by it and trying to become it?

It's like a planet of Buffalo Bills making skin suits for cosplay comic cons.

Whoa. Men built the Hoover Dam. Men stormed Iwo Jima and Omaha Beach. Men broke the sound barrier and even landed on the moon. Men have forged a world of iron and concrete.

Forks, Washington suffered enjoyed a brief time as a tourist destination for pasty teenagers and frumpy housewives after Twilight. Maybe Delaware could be the new money pit for Dash Con.

Animation only became "for kids" in public perception when televisions became affordable and widespread. The channels needed to fill up the time when children were home and so they just dumped all the old shorts that ran in movie theaters before the feature presentation, because they were decades old and cheap, before that they were considered general entertainment for all ages. For a brief period animation was considered high art and some of Disney's cels were on display in a California museum around the late 30s.

Well that and Hanna Barbera came along and figured out how to dump loads and loads and loads of awful cheap-rear end animation onto TV quick, alongside the comics industry being effectively hamstrung into only children's content with the Comics Code Authority.

Beware the Cow





I'm watching it and it seems ok but I really hate the main character Steven. He's an idiot and poorly written random humor. Everyone else seems alright and the show as a whole seems entertaining enough especially for kids.

also i cant speak for everyone else that works on the show but we made the show primarily for children

anyone outside of that demographic is "bonus" and they usually take it too seriously in a way that kids don't. the bonus viewers also usually think that all the dramatic stuff is put there for them when it's really there for kids and written at a kids level... so... just enjoy watching a cartoon for kids

hi ianj!!

kids media is fun and usually has to find clever ways to talk about things that adult media takes for granted. I think SU does a great job at that and I think it's teaching kids about some important stuff that a lot of media doesn't cover without talking down to them so thank you for that :)
