I thought of something funnier than 24.

So, SpongeBob’s 25th anniversary is next week. I’m wondering if this history video I made years ago is due for an update.

Since you reviewed "My Little Pony: Pony Life", will you also be reviewing other 2020s animated shows or is that too new for you?

I still think that’s too new, unless it’s a reboot, continuation or later seasons of earlier shows. While I know that restricts me from tackling the trendiest topics, I just like to share about franchises that have a history to them, and which a viewer probably hasn’t thought about in years, if ever. There’s been time for discourse to settle, and I hope viewers can open the video with a clearer mind than if the show was still running, or ended last week or last year.

I’m not sure why end cards were so common in the old CN shows, but here’s most of them side-by-side.

New review on one of Cartoon Network’s strangest shows. Sorry if this one isn’t as in depth as other recent reviews, but this is a show that really speaks for itself.

I don’t know if this was an animation error or a deliberate creative choice, but someone needs to make sense of Mr. Fleur’s clothes before it’s too late.

Cow and Chicken editing is underway, and man. Whipping out the old Ren & Stimpy borders makes me feel disappointed with my 2019 self nowadays. They’re just MS Paint-tier traces of the credits sceen against a broken gradient. I guess it’s never too late to redo them, which I’m motivated to do after this next review is all finished.

(I do compare Cow and Chicken to Ren & Stimpy a few times, but don’t worry, I never outright call it a rip-off.)

Thoughts on Goo Goo Gai Pan?

One of my all time least favourite Simpsons episodes. Easy Bottom 10 contender. The travel episode is always a high risk/high reward genre, and this one really fumbled. Not just for its low effort jokes and lack of care and understanding for Chinese culture, but because those things undermine what should be the start of a fine story arc with Selma adopting Ling. But as we know, since no one could really latch onto that aspect of the episode, it ended up being a total dead end for both characters. The only positive for me is the credits segment of David Silverman teaching the viewer how to draw Bart. That could’ve been a fun thing to put at the end of other episodes and with other characters.

A new review is now up. The Looney Tunes Show deserves as much attention as it can get, including my own.

Thinking about how the Looney Tunes theme(s) are actually just instrumentals of pop songs from the time, and of how much we’d be robbed if that stayed common practice for cartoons all throughout their history.

sense I ask the question About what Nicktoon you want to see Reboot, How Cartoon Network work shows you Want to see Reboot or have a Spin off

Galactic Kids Next Door seemed like such a risky idea, but it would’ve been cool to see get produced.

I’ve also seen John R. Dilworth & Maxwell Atoms want to make prequel/sequel series for their shows in recent times, but with the shutting of Cartoon Network Studios, it’ll take a miracle for them to get fleshed out. A shame, since these all seem interesting.

Just outta curiosity, when do you consider retiring YouTube or are you gonna be here until you die?

The plan is to do it as long as I want. I could be at this for another 2 years or another 20, depending on my motivation and personal life. Both are in good shape at the moment. I don’t want to think about making that SpongeBob Season 40 countdown on my deathbed just yet, because I don’t plan that far ahead.

It’s Autism Acceptance Month again, so I’ve seen a few folks all over the place share their autism headcanons. I tell ya, they’re funnier to see than they should be. I can vouch that there are many ways it can impact you, but the sheer variety of characters I’ve seen be headcannoned is a little bizzare. Just look at the “Diagnosed By The Audience” page on TV Tropes. Someone looked at Kowalski from Madagascar and said “That’s the most autistic penguin I’ve ever seen!”

But hey, who am I to complain? I wrote a 2,000 word thesis on why another cartoon bird could be autistic last year. It was detailed, and I went into as many common traits as I could, but that’s a rare case in the autism headcanon space. It doesn’t need to be that long to be a convincing interpretation. A lot of people really like seeing themselves in their comfort characters, or just any characters they identify with on a personal level. And that’s very sweet to see all over the place. Their stories, personalities and struggles in an NT world connect with us.

Long may we be seen and heard.

I’m wondering if I could get away with one of those long-form sleep aid channels I’ve seen a couple other content creators try out. If I’m stupid enough to go through with any planning for it, I’ll start by making an alternate version of my Looney Tunes Show review on a new channel. “3 Hours of Looney Tunes Show Reviews You Can Fall Asleep To”. It’ll literally just be the normal video looped for 3 hours.

I don’t want to jump on trends without serious preparation, but…

I don’t want to reupload my old material with no changes to do that, but…

I don’t want to subliminally fill my fans’ heads with useless trivia about the failed Laff Riot pitch that could activate without control like a sleeper agent, buuuuuut…

Have you ever found it strange that Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and Disney Channel doesn't really acknowledge anniversaries for many of their popular shows usually? I can only think of a small handful of shows they've ever celebrated anniversaries for. Meanwhile, Japan always celebrates anniversaries for series, even ones that haven't had new content in a long while. Japan usually does anniversary projects, while Nick, CN and Disney dont really do that, aside from some like Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls, SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, Blues Clues, and Dora the Explorer and maybe a few others I can't think of. When shows like Billy and Mandy and Kids Next Door turned 20, Cartoon Network didn't really do anything to celebrate their anniversaries, even though they were really popular for the channel back then

It is strange and disappointing that they don’t go all-out with the anniversaries of certain shows. I read a discussion on a Disney forum years and years ago about why some of Mickey’s anniversaries are skipped, and one of the posters made a good point that Disney probably doesn’t want to make their audiences feel old. I can understand that logic. Feeling old = self reflection = focusing on improving your mood = not buying products that remind you of age. That’s why these studios will do some things for the 10th anniversary, but not as much, or nothing, for the 20th and beyond.

I would like to see them acknowledge anniversaries more beyond the occasional “this show premiered 20 years ago” post on social media. If their material is really resonant and able to stick with viewers for a good portion of their life, then that’s something to celebrate.

An issue to deal with could be balance. These studios have collectively produced hundreds of shows, so some will always have more importance and market potential than others. There’s no reason to treat the 10th anniversary of Clarence as big as the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob. Equity is hard enough to manage for real people. And if you’re celebrating dozens of anniversaries a year, that could fatigue the outside public.

There is no perfect solution to a perceived “anniversary shortage”, but no one’s stopping the fans from celebrating these shows in their own ways when the reach a certain age.

I know you’re asking me this because 4Kids is doing nothing about Crazy Frog: The Animated Series’ 18th anniversary. It’s a legal adult now! Where are the festivities?!

No fooling. A new SpongeComs just went up for Krusty Towers and Mrs. Puff, You’re Fired.

Is it understandable that people confuse some shows for an anime? I don't mean in a meme way, I mean in a way where people actually think this. I remember at one of the couple high schools I went to, a few kids who weren't familiar with anime aside from a few thought Avatar: The Last Airbender was an anime and it was made in Japan because of the faces the characters would sometimes make. They had seen Avatar, but didn't really watch much anime or know much anime

My metric has always been “if it’s made in Japan for a viewerbase in Japan, it’s anime”. I never had a problem formulating a designation, but the line is admittedly blurry. With cases like Avatar, and more subdued examples like Teen Titans, the term “animesque” is more appropriate. And in the rare chance a non-Japanese production has its animation outsourced to a Japanese studio like TMS (Tokyo Movie Shinsha), I keep in mind the country where the majority of production has taken place.
