i think there are episodes of courage the cowardly dog that rival ren & stimpy for sheer joy and invention.

Every Adult Swim show except Boondocks is just unbearable.

if you're still talking mainly in terms of animation quality, OK, that's arguable, but ugh the TV version of Boondocks blows.

I'll rep for John K. as an animator and for those episodes of R&S any time, but in fairness, it also appears that the dude is a grade-A cockfarmer to pretty much everyone except possibly Ralph Bakshi. This, from an interview at The Onion AV Club this week w/Billy West:
AVC: Your website has a warning that if people are just there to talk about Ren & Stimpy, they can "hit the bricks." Does it irritate you to even talk about the show?BW: No, I had people that were coming on my own website and attacking me. You know, they were like Hillary Clinton supporters? It was very ugly. And I'm sorry, I hate to say it, but it was a forum that I paid for, and these people would come on, and they were too cheap to get their own fucking forum, so they used mine as their platform for their love of (Ren & Stimpy creator) John (Kricfalusi) and all this other crap.(John K.) wanted me to quit the job when he got fired (in 1992). But the problem there is that I wasn't his partner. I was a hired gun.AVC: But you were largely responsible for the show getting picked up in the first place.BW: Well yeah, and then these people badmouth me for 10 years, like a rock in my shoe in that camp. It's a very small but active group of posters, as I've come to find out. But the thing is that I finally got to the point where, "Okay, I get you, I get it you don't like that I did what I did." But the thing was, the whole story was cockeyed. They said I put everybody out of work. No, I didn't. Everybody was going to be out of work if I didn't continue the show.(John K.) is very talented; he used to really piss me off. But I did good work, you know? The show without me was totally unsuccessful. So if there's anybody listening out there with any doubts about what I can do for a show: Try me. The thing is, I wasn't about to stop doing a job. And he called me up, screaming at me, saying they can do the show without him, but they'll never be able to do it without me. So in other words, he was saying, "If you quit the show, you have the clout to get me back on." And I said, "You're fartin' way higher than your ass on that one, because everybody is disposable." Everybody is! I don't have that much of an ego where it's like "How dare you, you can't do something without me." Although the show did fucking do a bellyflop in a sundress. (Laughs.) Because I didn't do it.

I'm well aware of all the crazy baggage w/ Ren & Stimpy but if anything that quote reflects more poorly on West than Kricfalusi.
― some dude, Friday, 20 June 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link
also god the more i think about it, being a net-savvy celebrity must be the worst thing ever. as much of a mess as the moderator situation on ILX can be, can you imagine trying to moderate a forum about yourself?
― some dude, Friday, 20 June 2008 00:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I disagree -- sure, West can be and is full of himself and his talent (although deservedly so) but fuck Krisfaluci for wanting West to give up a paying voice gig to try to save someone else's job. Voice work like that is hard enough to get, and it's not like Nickelodeon was so invested in the show -- given how much shit they gave the producers over the years and how control-freaky they got over content -- that they wouldn't have simply said, "OK, fuck it, it's cancelled." West quitting wouldn't have brought Krisfaluci back to the show under any conceivable set of circumstances.

That's sort of charming in that some 90-year-old Archie editor's idea of sexing up Betty and Veronica for a new millennium is to make them look like Barbie comics from 1989

I haven't watched too much of Foster's Home, but I can't fault them for making a super cheap Flash cartoon as easy on the eyes as possible. Speaking of pop culture references though I think Venture Brothers is just getting too nerdy for me

Yeah but Art Adams in tenth grade or something like that, it's kinda amateurish

They had to record the voice parts of each member of the Smirk Pack separately for fear their combined smarm powers would cause the universe to disappear inside its own asshole.

i feel you man. you look at old cartoons and shit is designed all 3 dimensional - if the animators wanted to rotate daffy duck around they could draw that shit from every angle.
That's because the animators needed the money for new shoes, since their soles were worn down from running through fifteen foot snowdrifts every day with wolves chasing them down for their rationed hunks of bread and cheese. BUY WAR BONDS

I saw an episode of "What's New, Scooby Doo?" yesterday that I'm pretty sure featured the (paraphrased) line:
"I'm 18 years old. I'm old enough to legally ... vote."
-Velma's cousin, voiced by Jenny McCarthy.
I'll confirm this next time the kid(gf's son) puts it on, but I'm not trying to encourage Scooby Doo these days since he makes me do the voice.

Agreed, I went to Kung Fu Panda with low expectations and was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Shark Tale, on the other hand, is truly horrible.
