Stupid cartoon cliches

Remember it? it stills echos in my head 30+ years later.

Welcome to my shop, let me cut your mop, let me shave your crop....

DAINtily.....daintily.........My favorite part is when Bugs starts hacking away at his face !!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (OUCH OOW OOW OUCH OUCH OOOW !!)
 
My favorite is Bug's rip off of the Ride of the Valkaries...(sp?) where Elmer carries a "dead" Bugs to the top of the mountain...the operas were great!!

Roadrunner/Wilie coyote were great too.

But I think we are deviating from greendeltatke's original topic...overused cliches...I can't think of anything right now.
 
Popeye is the best cartoon ever!:D THat's what I grew up on!
 
I agree that the current crop of anime like cartoons are junk, But Some of the subtitled japanese animes like ranma 1/2 and kenshin the swordsman are quite the stories.

They did a dubbed US version of the kenshin one and that stank. It totally messed up the inflection and respect that under lay all the disputes the characters had.

Funder, Wightning, ... Smog! .....cough cough...

One of the best of all time!

It wasn't funny and the animation wasn't great, but the artwork and story lines were fantastic ..... Jonny Quest. The epitome of cool. :cool: (not the new one, but the old one)
 
So everyone's saying Looney Toons (my fav as well), but what about The Simpsons? CLASSIC Simpsons? I love Seasons 1-8. I'm also a Spongebob fan, and Ren & Stimpy classics weren't bad either. Geek related, I love me some Spiderman TAS and X-Men TAS.
 
Hey cyber, I agree with you all the way man. Adult Swim is full of quality shows (with a couple of exceptions).

Just to name a few:

FLCL ($100 for 6 episodes, and well worth it! lol)

Cowboy Bebop

Trigun

ATHF

Family Guy

Futurama

and others..........

Peace

oh, btw, teen titans rocks!!!

1. A pterodactyl mistakes a kid for a hatchling and brings it back to its nest.

Anyone else?

i know that one... and the pterodactyl is not supposed to be mistakeing a kid for a hatchling, i think the point comes from Jurrasic park III, kid being next source of food.....

also bugs bunny, pinky and the brain, and other clasics are awesome, if you dont like cliches then dont watch Tom and Jerry or Scooby Doo (the begging of the end for cartoons)

I say that scooby doo is the begging of the end because cartoons like that take no effort to make, imagine how long bugs bunny took to draw out frame by frame... when you simplify things by haveing single frames with moveing parts (door in background moves without changing color texture shadeing or appearence- dont know how they did it but it looks crappy) now recent cartoons use HUGE shortcuts, so they can make a new one per week useing predrawn computer images and the such.
also another problem is content, Bugs Bunny made fun of everybody from movie stars to political figures to the clasics to war heros... and had plenty of imitateable action that involved guns and the such with no consequences... in todays 'correct' word we could NEVER stand for that (sarcasum inserted) it makes me sick....


o yea and although i dont like most anime, the cartoon "megas xlr" is funny eventhough ive outgrown it by a few years... it makes fun of anime while being aneme... and the plot is completly original and american....
