I hated the Looney Tunes show because by making it Looney Tunes Seinfeld it got rid of a lot what made the characters entertaining. Bugs became the most bland of characters, Porky a walking doormat and Daffy was an irredeemable rear end in a top hat.

Porky has always been a walking doormat though, and Daffy has been an irredeemable rear end in a top hat ever since he stopped doing the "jump around and yell woohoo alot" thing like 50 years ago. If you wanted to pick one thing that The Looney Tunes Show did to deviate from the original cartoons, you picked pretty much the worst example.

So... I watched Pickle and Peanut and it was as about as horrible as I expected, and then I saw the Disney XD logo at the end, and I almost fainted. What made them sink so low???

I'll give you Porky but in order to fit sitcom format Daffy became more of a Peter Griffin rear end in a top hat which I found personally found annoying. That wouldn't be so bad if he could bounce off Bugs but they evened out Bugs too much and he became really bland.

Someone earlier said that Sonic Boom was like a show on the verge of being good but just missing a special something and that's the way I feel about the Looney Tunes show. Decent idea, mediocre execution.

For some reason, I assumed that this NICKTOONS movie would be aired on Nickelodeon, because it's that kind of terrible idea that needs to be seen by as few people as possible. But reading it a little closer, it's going to be an actual feature film for movie theaters. Hoo boy.

I'm really digging Pickle and Peanut. It's what I imagine a Toejam and Earl animated series would be like.

E: though I'll say I could totally understand not liking it


I'm real fuckin into this show

But then

I enjoyed Problem Solverz


E: yeah actually the more I watch the more this is definitely Toejam and Earl: the series

You guys might want to pick up the Over the Garden Wall DVD for the composer's cut, which lets you hear full versions of several songs that were buried in the soundtrack. Highlights include the Beast's two songs and the Latin version of Potatoes and Molasses, plus demo samples over the closing credits. For some reason, though, full versions of some songs released to Youtube, like Langtree's Lament and Deborah Voigt's area, are not included.

Oh, and it also won Best Animated Show at the Emmys, too.

This is a question about the recent "big" disney show which aren't Marvel or Star Wars related : is there some sort of mandate from the people upstairs about tickling people into submission? I've seen it in Gravity Falls (especially this one), Wander over Yonder and Star vs the Forces of Evil.

Gumball rules and the only reason it's not the best Cartoon Network show is because AT and SU are mighty high bars to pass. It is absurdly good though.

All three shows aren't shy about punching and kicking, so I don't think that's it. And in the case of the most "graphic" of these shows, Gravity Falls, it actually feels more disturbing when the tickles are used than when the characters punch each other.

I find it expresses it better to just tell someone to pick a random episode, any episode, and count the whipcracks themselves. Out of context like that it just looks weird and having someone pick the episode themselves makes it seem like a weird magic trick you just pulled because there's no way every episode could actually be like that, right?

While they're at it, play the totally safe Johnny Test Drinking Game! Take a sip for every whip crack and try not to die.

It's weird, when it first came out I thought it was actually pretty good, derivative as all hell, but something you could tell had effort put into it, and then it became something really awful

Also it's probably the cartoon with the overall most accurate Pokemon parody I've ever seen(well besides the Speed Racer speech thing everyone did, that was weird)

Yeah, the whip thing isn't actually a reason why Johnny Test is bad (it's bad for many other reasons and most people don't even notice it) it's just really bizarre and nonsensical that it's like that.
