A Serious Candidate For a Serious Time
Whelp, I've had enough of the current pendulum position of mockery of any adult admitting that they enjoy a thing designed for children.

I think Amazing World of Gumball is entertaining. There.

I used to watch Adventure Time while high, but then I started watching actual adult media (standup comedy) while high instead and lemme tell ya it's way better

Also Stephen Universe fans are literally as mentally broken as bronies; the only way in which they're better than bronies is that they're not as loud and ubiquitous as bronies were at their peak. Just read the TVIV thread and you'll see.

But for real though. Mr. Manlove I like a lot of things, but this was hard to like. I have to talk my brother into not letting his kids watch that show. BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD GOOD SOLID CARTOONS

Cartoons when I was a kid:

Shirt Tales
Superfriends
Tarzan
Centurions
Deputy Dog
Inspector Gadget
The Littles


Cartoons frigging blew back then.

Everyone thinks they liked Inspector Gadget, but they're just remembering the good intro. The actual show portion was mind-numbingly dumb.

What about that episode where Dr Claw has that scientist make an army of Gadget bots, but then the professor puts his mind into all the bots and they putter about occasionally falling over and breaking a hip? Then professor gadget blames the dog (who is in the disguise) for everything and his niece solves the case but makes it look like Gadget did so he gets the credit?

Duckula was also pretty good.

For a brief window of time bronies were watching Stephen Universe and calling themselves that because they have no shame or ability to learn from past mistakes, I haven't kept up with fandom mockery since the Tumblr thread stopped being a thing though so I dunno if they're still around

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.


This thread is great. It is good to remember that being a fanboy of anything is loving pathetic, and that anything and everything can be made fun of.

Back in my day, people used to be able to like things without being mentally stunted bitch-boys. But now, people try to dress like their favorite not-real-people, and get all mad when people don't care what they like.

I blame parents who shelter their kids. If a kid dressed like ANY cartoon character back in my day, they got eggs thrown at them, and then their parents beat them.

My dad is a fisherman, he was away from home a lot, during the summers I'd work on the boat, he apologized for how he raised me once. I told him he did a fine job and I'd beat the poo poo out of anyone who said otherwise and the only reason he got off with a warning is because he was family. He's 76 and still fishing up in Alaska, doesn't know how to swim.

I've heard that the reason seafarers don't learn to swim is so there's no struggle if they get thrown overboard.

He didn't learn growing up since the water is so cold, the fishermen put together a fund and set up the Bob Korn memorial swimming pool and all kids in elementary school have mandatory swimming lessons so they didn't drown as often as their parents did.

brah no shame, if you like watching cartoons when you get high then don't fuckin judge yourself over something small like that. there was a point in my life where i was like "oh im too good and grown up for animes" but the truth is if you think like that, the only person you're hurting is yourself

There wasn't any real judgment intended in that line, I'm just saying next time you're blazing try loading up some standup on Netflix and see whether or not your life is significantly improved. My cousin showed me Moshe Kasher's Netflix special while I was high and that was it for me.

I actually went to see Hannibal Buress live while stoned out of my mind this past summer and it will probably stand the test of time as one of the greatest experiences of my life, I mean I've never had a baby or gotten married but they can't be THAT much better than this was :allears:

Except one part where there was a heckler and I was super mortified :ohdear:

Going purely on the gifs in this thread I'm imagining it's basically Bobby Hill with super powers but instead of a strong father figure like Hank trying to steer his son onto a path of normality he's got robot moms who tell him to embrace his inner clown.

Sadly, I feel like the show's creators are in the second camp.

Does anyone want to provide context for the drag scene?

Don't get people started on drag shows though, even NPR is airing stories about girls trying and failing to join an all-male comedy drag show in their local college.
