Family Guy is either much higher or much lower than I expected

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 16 September 2019 19:48 (six years ago)

My guess is family guy didn’t placr

Mordy, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:50 (six years ago)

i liked depressed horse show about as much as i liked the hormonal kids show – which, aside from being tragically straight, I'm not sure what it says about my demographics.

Loads of my friends love the depressed horse show and I want to watch it, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't actually be that into it. Whereas I am fairly sure that if I ever get round to Steven Universe I will dig it.

(I voted for Animaniacs btw)

emil.y, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:51 (six years ago)

If Family Guy places I will rage.

emil.y, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:52 (six years ago)

the depressed horse show is not for me, a non depressed non horse

ciderpress, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:53 (six years ago)

I'm a deeply depressed non-horse, so I guess I'll like half of it?

emil.y, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:53 (six years ago)

I loved Animaniacs so much

Some Bojack Horsemen elements are definitely horrible, but the occasional dumb jokes have stuck with me. The scene where he's trying to give an alias, but is too constantly lazy/hungover to come up with anything, and ends up saying "Bojack... Horsmack?" still makes me giggle

the depressed horse is all of us, also those who don't realise they are depressed horses yet

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 16 September 2019 19:55 (six years ago)

the depressed horse show is not for me, a non depressed non horse

oooh look at the non depressed person

i'm more of a tangled fog of pulsating yearning in the shape of a woman, myself.

"Bojack... Horsmack?"

did you say your name was 'chadwick boseman'?

Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:03 (six years ago)

The thing about Bojack is that it's really clever and funny, to the point that it is really 2 shows in one. The endless stream of anthropomorphized animal jokes in the background and scene transitions hit more often than they miss. And Amy Sedaris constantly reciting intricate tongue twisters! But you have to get with the depressed stuff in order to be a fan, I think. And it has definitely felt for the last few seasons like they want to move the characters and plot forward, but largely fail to do so.

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:06 (six years ago)

last bad depressive episode I mainly just watched Roy Andersson films, don't know if I could face watching them now, should I watch the horse cartoon y/n?

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:09 (six years ago)

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement though.

While I personally have no desire to bother watching again this decade, it was funny, sharp, and teaching kids a strong lesson about rapacious capitalism. I figure South Park's demographic has always been 12-22 year olds, and based on that two-ep taste they're still making something worthwhile for those viewers. Any time I've seen two minutes of Simpsons in the last 17 years, I can't tell who would enjoy it at all.

Depressed horse show is great, but I'm several seasons behind bcz I still prefer my Hanawalt on paper.

now let's play big lunch take little lunch (sic), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:10 (six years ago)

my post was not meant to be serious, i've watched the first season of bojack and it's alright

ciderpress, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:11 (six years ago)

lol sorry about that ciderpress

definitely need to rewatch bebop now that i'm deeper on anime, i suspect it holds up great

ciderpress, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:20 (six years ago)

Never caught on for me when I watched it (3 or so years ago).

Johnny Grottan from the Skeks Pistols (Leee), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:22 (six years ago)

i rented the first dvd around 2002 and the story seemed to be an excuse for the action scenes. didn't continue.

wasdnuos (abanana), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:29 (six years ago)

let's jam

untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:34 (six years ago)

TOO LOW
fuckin' love me some space cowboy

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:34 (six years ago)

also (nearly in-)arguably the best soundtrack in television cartoon history

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:36 (six years ago)

the entire first couple years of the Adult Swim programming block were such a gift

the fact they were able to license Cowboy Bebop, and get Mission Hill after it was ditched by the WB, was just icing on the cake

untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:37 (six years ago)

the best adult swim show is still to come

ciderpress, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:39 (six years ago)

i would strongly recommend anyone who wrote this off give it another spin; it's got its flaws but for animated sci-fi noir it is upper echelon

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:39 (six years ago)

the soundtrack is so perfect

american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:45 (six years ago)

I couldn't get into Bebop first time around, then it suddenly clicked years later when I randomly caught an episode marathon on TV. I basically love it all now.

I'm slightly surprised by Animaniacs' high placing. No complaints though!

Duane Barry, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:46 (six years ago)

Cowboy Bebop will be the highest placing non-USA show, yes?

imago, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:49 (six years ago)

no

ciderpress, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:50 (six years ago)

fingers x'd for Pat & Mat

imago, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:55 (six years ago)

For non-US shows, I'm presuming The Adventures of Tintin must still place.

Tuomas, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:56 (six years ago)

there's still an anime to place - probably in the top 3

Mordy, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:56 (six years ago)

gotta catch em all

Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:57 (six years ago)

just kidding

Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Monday, 16 September 2019 20:58 (six years ago)

Oh yeah, I know which anime you mean.

Tuomas, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:58 (six years ago)

I tried to watch it years ago, but couldn't get into tone of the series at all... Maybe I'll retry it one of these days, now that it's all on Netflix.

Tuomas, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:59 (six years ago)

also unless i miscounted including the simpsons at least 4 more Fox animated shows?

Mordy, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:11 (six years ago)

Can't believe I forgot to vote for the Pokemon theme tune in the side poll. I like the cartoon but never got into it properly enough to vote for it (having said that, I could probably still do the whole Team Rocket spiel off the top of my head).

emil.y, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:14 (six years ago)

i also forgot to vote for the pokemon theme, dammit

Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Monday, 16 September 2019 21:24 (six years ago)

Omg I forgot to vote for Pokemon

tangenttangent, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:30 (six years ago)

you did not catch them all

imago, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:32 (six years ago)

we failed to pokemon go to the polls

Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Monday, 16 September 2019 21:34 (six years ago)

We going down to 11?

imago, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:40 (six years ago)

xp Relatedly, congrats Ash Ketchum for finally winning the Pokemon League.

Vernon Locke, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:42 (six years ago)

Mordy, Monday, 16 September 2019 21:55 (six years ago)
