Seeing it was a Madden game that won GotY for the first VGAs made a certain VG Cats comic make more sense. So what webcomics from the 00s didn't age like milk immediately?

I thought that was a universally derided episode. its literally one of the best episodes of the show people who watch the Sopranos and are like "I don't get the point of this scene, how is it advancing the Plot" are aliens to me lmao

Don't know what else to tell you. It also somewhat fits the thread because it was written in response to the show being criticized over Italian stereotyping.

while the intro absolutely slaps, the show itself is genuinely well done from what i remember Aces High posted:I think it is fair to say they covered most of the plots we got in the sequel movies, yet managed to have better resolutions than said movies. tbf, it actually had a decent run (40 eps vs 53 for MIB). also just occurred to me those film roman (?) cartoons were almost all entirely based on movie/famous people properties (M.I.B., Godzilla, Roughnecks, Extreme Ghostbusters, Jackie Chan Adventures, etc) and were all shockingly pretty drat good

They had Vincent D'Nofrio reprising his role - as every bug in the show. It was great, and he had a lot of great lines, like as one bug is being checked in for processing it's mentioned that his crime was eating a bus-load of passengers, and his response is just "To be fair, it's better than prison food." They just have so little empathy for other's it becomes kind of hilarious. Also when the other bugs start coming for revenge the series remembers who it actually was who killed Edgar - they don't care about Jay and Kay, they have a hit out on agent Elle.

I remember Schlock Mercenary being pretty good for the most part and actually ended rather than burning out or going full chud, Kevin and Kell was wholesome and I'm pretty sure predated the furry fandom (though that started in the 90's, does that still count?), I THINK Order of the Stick started in the 00's... uh... hmm...
