    The Funny Picture Thread

    Something I plan to add to the "when you need to rant" thread. But like I say, bullies hate when you call them out on being bullies.

    The Worst TV Show Ever!

    At the risk of a "Complaining about Shows you Don't Watch" this is something that doesn't possibly sound any good. So, there's a cartoon called "Polly and the Zhu Zhu Pets." (Headdesk) Didn't...didn't the Zhu Zhu Hamster fad die like 10 years ago? Edit: managed to turn it on and make it...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I wouldn't doubt that for a minute. Though I'd admit watching anything even remotely preschool related (obviously Sesame Street clips in my case) gets you blanketed with dumb preschool suggestions. Especially those awful illegally used licensed character finger counting games.

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    Seems like the show is going to end on season 6. Hopefully this gives them the chance to close it up nicely, since we've only just gotten season 5 started.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I have absolutely no idea why this was released theatrically. There's no excuse for this one, and not even Lionsgate being Lionsgate. They didn't even bother shoving name celebrities in there, not even really popular voice actors. Only one in the cast list I recognized is Yuri Lowenthal...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    I shouldn't have to reinstate the main reason the film was to sell Elmo toys, and the reason we even got a second theatrical Sesame Street film was due to Elmo's popularity. FTB "got it right" because even though the movie was about Big Bird, it wasn't Big Bird the movie. FTB was supposed to...

    Commercial rant time...

    Last night I realized what really bugged me about all this. These are things that exist and have happened. The commercial is offensive and by its very existence the store was forced to shutter down. But making money off of that tragedy with collectible coin scams is far more disgusting...

    Commercial rant time...

    Indeed. If this went under the radar, no one would have known about it or even cared. But the internet being the internet found something to be offended by and gave them national attention. If something like this is so horrible and tasteless, the best way to react to it is by not reacting to it.

    Hanna-Barbera

    As Mo Frackle pointed out, they'd use the big family concept again with Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. Although pointing that out does prove the point there were too darn many characters. I...I really hate Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. I respect the cartoon for initially casting Asians to...

    Commercial rant time...

    Personally, I'm far more appalled by the fact the first responders of the actual 9/11, heroes all, still can't get adequate healthcare because of some horrible excuses of human beings in Congress than I am about this pathetic attempt at Family Guy style humor. This commercial is a moral...

    Hanna-Barbera

    You know, I was all ready to say "UGH! That's H-B productions in the 70's for you." But you know what? I respect the effort and concept, especially the live action photograph backgrounds. Seems like they either used the concept for the Addams Family cartoon, or recycled it with a less morbid...

    The Steven Universe thread

    The color on my old TV is screwed up. I totally thought that mystery girl was a Quartz gem because she looked like she had Jasper's skin tone. I double checked it online and she's merely a human brown skin color, rather than orange.

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    I like that this was better than the standard class president episode, that usually stems from the frustration of the writers with politics. Like that Arthur episode where Arthur tries to run and because Muffy spoils the entire campaign for both of them and the third party Binky won? Blossom...

    New Fraggle Merchandise in 2017?

    I'd be more "Oooh New Fraggle Stuff" if it was Fraggle Stuff you could walk into a store and directly exchange money for. I never liked the concept of "Not available for Retail Sale" plush toys that are in rigged claw machines or rigged carny games. I remember trying in vain to win a...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    I think that between this two parter and The Signal and maybe The Money and The Others, I think we can all know how Gumball is going to end.

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Wow. That was subversive. And not too subtle. Considering the fact that in Regular Show, the owner of Steak me Amadeus shot the robot criminals that took over his restaurant over them denouncing a college education. Somehow, I really respect TTG for going there and ripping mainstream...

    Billy Barkhurst

    Baby Bear always came off to me as only becoming a major character so David Rudman had someone to perform regularly. He may have been a product of the Around the Corner fairy tale character usage, but he stayed around mainly on that aspect, at least before he became a pal for Telly. That's his...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I find it just a total mindscrew that Swan Princess came out of nowhere to get so many DTVs. I find the original to be one of the third party Disney Wannabe movies that came out in the 90's that would instantly be forgettable had it not been for 90's kids being nostalgic for it. Heck, even the...

    Zoe's phase out was slow and gradual since Abby's rise in use. So I can totally see why she's been taken a back seat. Telly and Baby Bear have been used incredibly frequent in the past 10 years only to be stopped short the past season. And just when Telly was starting to get merchandising...
