After a long summer of too much cartoon watching I've seen way too many overused gags, plotlines, character types. etc. I'm starting a list of the most tired cartoon cliches. I'll limit myself to the first three:

1. A pterodactyl mistakes a kid for a hatchling and brings it back to its nest.

2. A male character is disguised as a female, and no matter how ugly a female he makes, a burly man becomes attracted to him.

3. The adolescent love triangle- two pals really belong together, but one is distracted by a third party. The third party is flashier than the pal but ultimately proves unworthy on a deeper level.

Anyone else?
 
I'll stick with Bugs Bunny...

Not true. I enjoyed Animaniacs. Think Aeon Flux is the pinnacle of modern animation. Dexter's Laboratory was amusing for a while.

But, most other recent cartoons are sad, if not annoying.
 
I grew up on Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd....there's just no way the recent crowd of animators and writers are up to the task of meeting that level these days. They focus way too much on cheap bathroom humour (if you want to call it humour, I just call it gross !)

How bout Bugs and Elmer in the "Barber of Seville" lampoon...... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: anyone remember that one ????

However....."The Incredibles" comes way close !!!
 
Bugs bunny rocks!!!

Coyote is a star... How can you not respect a coyote who manages to put on a pair of skis, strap an ice machine to his back, and while the ice shoots out of the machine, it gets crushed by "blender", and falls right in front of him, allowing him to ski down those desert mountains, alll for one purpose, to catch that stupid bird!!!

It's genious!!! :)

Remember it? it stills echos in my head 30+ years later.

Welcome to my shop, let me cut your mop, let me shave your crop....
 
My all-time fave was Porky Pig vs. that candle that wouldn't go out.. As someone that has worked nights before, I FEEL YOUR PAIN PORKY!

Spongebob is cool, everything else sucks, especailly anything that looks like anime..
 
Bugs, Tweety, Wiley, Porky, Elmer, Pepe, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosimite Sam... Yes, those were the golden days

Although I do have a soft spot for "Pinky and the Brain", maybe it's just a latent desire to take over the world...
