The ILX Animated Series Poll Results Thread is part of this complete breakfast

maybe it really is Moral Orel then

although given how the voting has gone, the darker AS material hasn't really been favoured so

If I were gonna vote for one of the edgy AS shows it would've been 12 Oz Mouse, which I only saw a couple episodes of but nevertheless haunts me

i didnt have a TV while i was in college which is when AS went through the edgy phase

now there's an animation quality/content disparity xp

i did like what little i saw of superjail though that was long ago

obv legend of the galactic heroes is #1 overall after all ilx had time to binge watch all 110 episodes of the epic political space opera

doubt i'd like it anymore tbh

i've deprioritized anything longer than 40 episodes in my anime catch-up but i look forward to watching LoGH someday

superjail was something i diced with voting for as it was often enjoyable and often funny and had some killer (lol) episodes...ultimately just a bit too unpleasant but i had Xavier at #2 so clearly there's room in my heart for the edge -_-

will also say that superjail's animation was sick in all senses

i thought for sure xavier would be yr #1

i chose postgate, i chose life etc

my top 3 still to come <3

Xavier makes my fucking brain hurt. It's grate.

it's so weird and off-putting. i did enjoy "experiencing" it but i didn't vote for anything that made my brain hurt.

the groenig and mordy show xps

xavier s2 is the most sustained obnoxious chaos any godforsaken surrealist has devised, it is hateful and magnificent shit, everyone must be made to endure it

blows my mind these two finished above KoTH.

ah right, we thought this might not have made it but I guess we undervalued ilx's core constituency of american music nerds who grew up in the 1990s

i like B&B a lot but not on the same level as the best KotH

You cannot be serious... Not if you factor in ILX is more than the US. B&B's appeal was worldwide, KotH - though great - quintessential American.

I was going to post a celebratory gif for this placing, but you know what it is

KOTH was basically a very good sitcom that happened to be animated. B&B was goddamn iconic. I'd go over to my best friend's house and we had to sneak-watch it bc I didn't have cable and his mom told him it was verboten.

Beavis and Butthead was super funny to watch as a teenager... I've tried to watch King of the Hill a couple of times, but it just wasn't for me; I guess the Americanness of it had something to do with it, but mostly it was simply the tone of humour that I didn't war m up to.

Daria is awesome, one of those cases where the spinoff surpasses the original.

a friend copied mpegs of the original b&b episodes and they were even better than I remembered. I like koth a lot, but yes, agreed with evol j.

I've never seen Beavis & Butthead

no kiddin' lol

also I mistyped groening as groenig upthread probably because i wanted it to rhyme better, sorry folks, must have been a jarring moment for you all

Come on, it's not just American music nerds... MTV Europe was showing B&B too, and it was huge in here as well. It's not like the characters are or the humour are particularly unrelatable to non-Gringos, their appeal is pretty universal.

Tuomas I hate to break it to you but you are also a gringo

i never saw B&BH either, was it all fart jokes and shrill sophomoric music snobbery or is that all a very unfair assumption

I was gonna post "Mike Judge has never created a bad TV show" but checked and there's something called The Goode Family which looks dire

Daria >>> b&b the movie (ineligable) >>> b&b the show that spawned daria

That said I still like b&b and also forgot to vote even though I half started making a ballot, so my bad.

No, I'm not. Gringo = someone from United States. Extranjero = foreigner.

This is simply astonishing tbh. You never saw it?!

not once :/

late cut from tt's ballot iirc so it has her recommendation too

Goode Family wasn't great, but it had its moments.

I've tried to watch King of the Hill a couple of times, but it just wasn't for me

with all due respect for taste being a personal thing I FPed you for this and i'll probably do it again in a minute or two

I wouldn't say I understand "gringo" to mean "yanqui" but rather any non-hispanic person

with a heavy dose of "white"

breakin the law breakin the law

Amazing. And I applaud you for it LJ! But I have to agree with Tuomas here: B&B were ubiquitous, all over Europe and then some. Also, it was fart jokes but not just fart jokes if you know what I mean. It ruled.

The music video segments in B&B were usually great, the animated sketches often less so. That said, I remember laughing pretty hard at the movie when it came out (haven't seen it since).

matt gringo

Nah, or at least that's not Costa Ricans (where my wife is from) use it. Me and her use it like that too, when speaking about people from the US, because it would weird to refer to them as Americans, as she's from America too.

B&B is all time but KotH is all all time all the time

No, "gringo" doesn't refer to whiteness, just to Unitedstatesianness.

KotH - though great - quintessential American.

i'm Canadian!

i don't think i remembered to vote for it but B&B is still very funny. i don't even think the show itself is less intelligent than KOTH or daria -- it just feels that way because it focuses on these two idiots. it's actually kind of a quiet show in its way, just these low-key vignettes about these two characters and these very mundane things that happen to them. r. sikoryak did a strip with them starring in "waiting for godot" and it actually felt pretty apt.

I am surprised by the amount of animated series I have never even heard of on this list. I have to start watching a couple of these.
