No Stupid Questions

Like Saturday morning cartoons then no, I tried watching some old cartoons I grew up on like chip and dales recently on Disney+ and it made me realize how much they simplified the plots and dialogues for the kids, it was too boring for me. I do watch adult animation though and sadly so many people still think anything animated is just cartons for kids because of companies like Disney and Hana Barbera pushing that dynamic for all these years

I do like Spongebob!

I dont watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of the stuff taking itself seriously tends to suck. There are a few absolute gems, but most of everything else is like, petty, or bullshit, or garbage in some other way. There was this wave of reality-show fever when it feels like every damned TV show had to shoehorn some contrived petty drama that sidetracked from the interesting stuff and i got so fed up and checked out of the medium. It absolutely felt like every channel was doing it, inescapable.

Except for stupid cartoons. There's something about a show not taking itself seriously that makes it perfect. And the serious kids media wasn't made to cash in petty, mean spirited bullshit, its made as a reminder of some important lesson that we should not forget to pass on to the next generation. Yeah i prefer cartoons.

I've stopped for a while, like ten years at least, but picked them up again since covid.

• Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
• Invincible
• The Hollow

• Glitch Techs
• Scavengers Reign - holy shit

• The Last Kids on Earth

yes. i watched 4 or 5 episodes of Earthworm Jim yesterday. i rewatch Gravity Falls once a year or so. spongebob, pinky and the brain, and many others are all in my lineup

I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.

The vast majority of things I watch are intended for mature audiences, yes. Movies and series created for kids specifically just don't entertain me, with a handful of exceptions. Shrek is love, Shrek is life, of course. I also really enjoyed a cartoon called Final Space, which I suspect is targeted for young teens but it's pretty good! Despite being canceled :(. If anything has a Disney/Pixar label on it I avoid it like the plague though, it's usually a cringefest for me.

I love old stuff except for bluey witch is great

I still watch them, Some kids cartoons are timeless and some its like a completely new show from an adult perspective.

Not as much, mainly because there's an unwritten rule with watching cartoons you grew up with. That being, don't watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid. Because not all cartoons are going to land the same as an adult than it did as a kid. So, there's some shows I avoid myself to not have that feeling. There's others like the old Transformers stuff I'd watch because that was a little before my time and I heard it was good, as well as the other series.

But revisiting things like old Nick cartoons or even a lot of Saturday morning level of cartoons because, I enjoyed those more as a kid than I probably do as an adult.

Yes. I watch the Spiderman cartoons from the late 60's, Spongebob Squarepants and Rik and Morty (although I suspect that is more for adults).

Invader zim is still fun, as is clone high. Or anything from Studio Ghibili

I will forever love Looney Tunes. It's a classic.

A good show is a good show. Doesn’t matter the style or the intended demographic.

I’m re-watching Gravity Falls right now

An adult is a kid with bills to pay.

There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.

For nostalgic reasons mostly. Recently, I decided to watch C.O.P.S. again. Cool music but not as entertaining as I remembered.

BLUEY!

As an adult, it's only sad dramas and dreary procedurals for me. No time for fun what with taxes, job, and housework. I'm afraid it's all very serious, adulting. I'm gonna sing the doom song.

"still watch"? i never stopped.

You're damn right I watch X-Men and Dragonball-Z!

Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.

Sure. All the stuff the kids watched. Pixar, Dreamworks, and others. Not so much the episodic cartoons, but I’ve seen quite a few of those, too.

I still watch/watched a few as an adult and really enjoyed them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

The Legend of Korra

The Dragon Prince

She-Ra (the new one)

Tron: Identity

My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.

My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol

I just watched several episodes of He-Man from the 80s today

I have VLC streaming Toonami Aftermath on my second monitor at work, pretty much 24/7. It’s always fun to look over and see the weird shit that is playing. I’ve seen commercials for PS1 games, toys that don’t exist anymore, etc… And if I work late, they usually play DBZ Abridged on Wednesday evenings. That was a particularly funny discovery, because my coworker saw DBZ on my monitor, and mentioned that they never got into it. I turned the volume up just in time for us to hear Vegeta complain about getting hit in the dick.

Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.

But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.

Does Thunderbirds count?
