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

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).

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.

B&B is basically about laughing at stupid stuff juvenile minds come up with, but not in a condescending, elitist way like Judge would later do in Idiocracy... Despite all Beavis & Butt-Head remain sympathetic, and often they're even correct in a "dumbass can see through pretentious bullshit" kind of way.

are we about to fight about Idiocracy, the most perfect movie to ever grace our unworthy civilization?!

it is kind of a bit racist as fuck

xp it certainly had some moments but iirc none of them were animated

idiocracy is a funny movie, but terrible cultural commentary

🎶 Go forth, young boy, and you’ll become a legend!

it is kind of a bit racist as fuck

Idiocracy?

IIRC there's a huge-ass Idiocracy thread where the classism and racism of that movie is thoroughly discussed, maybe we don't need to clog this thread with that debate. I'm sorry I brought it up.

Hooray for Daria making the top ten!

I've watched Evangelion twice, and remain undecided about the whole thing really

cool. i'll have a look a the other thread.

I have no idea what this one is, have seen it has a very busy thread on here though

Congratulations, Evangelion!

So Transformers is gonna beat Evangelion? Or it's not in the top 77 at all? Both alternatives seem kinda odd.

evangelion too low

Def too low

too low

my no. 1 of course

nothing left on my ballot to place except for what will undoubtably win the poll

surprised bob's burgers made it this high, considering lack of chatter. unless it didn't?

oh so Daria is to blame for modern life! thx Mordy

xxp guess it did! good for bob and co.

i've lost track of this show, but the seasons i did watch were delightful.

great screencap btw lol, the show's first A+ ep

The screencap Thermo used is just perfect. xp!

bob's burgers is such a great show. i stopped watching for a bit but recently went to catch up and how many seasons in it is still excellent. helps that it has one of the best casts of any animated show. just a delight every ep - heartfelt + more importantly hilarious.

Given ILX's demographics, I would've presumed Masters of the Universe to appear too, but no way is that gonna happen anymore. Though I have no idea what the other 3 series in the top 5 are gonna be besides the Simpsons and Adventure Time? Transformers doesn't seem very likely either.

So we've got Futurama, Simpsons, 7 Up Adverts, Peppa Pig Youtube Gore Channel and Pigeon Street to go?

I've wanted to like Bob's Burgers because a certain local hero is involved in it but man the episodes I tried to watch I just didn't get it

feel like if there were more millenials here Rick & Morty would be top 5

(and Spongebob would be number one)

Oh yeah, Futurama! And BoJack Horseman, obviously. So that leaves just one mystery entry in the top 5.

Bojack and Archer?

i don't get bob's burgers either. it's likable and like the art style and the voice talent but I've never found it remotely funny and that's a roadblock for me

Oh I see Archer was 23. I am also another person who never saw an episode of Spongebob.

simpsons, futurama, adventure time, rick + morty, and bojack

Between Mabel Pines and Louise Belcher, are there any otherh Kristen Schaal voice roles I need to love?

hate to be a killjoy but bob's burgers is significantly worse than home movies

and i've liked many episodes of it

would be pleasantly surprised if rick & morty placed, even if it's too high.
