What are examples of cartoons that are popular today, but something that the previous generation hated?
Fairly OddParents was loved by kids at the time, but loathed by 80s/early 90s nostalgiafags and old Anon Babble.
ITT: cartoons that nostalgiafags used to hate
Cosmo is funny
Watch FOP as an adult and honestly tell me that you think it holds up.
cosmo and crocker stole the show
Some of it does and most of it doesn't.
I think the "it's a wonderful life" parody holds up pretty well.
erm, but like, it's, erm, m-m-m-m-mean spirited!!!!!
Anon Babble in 2006 was completely dominated by the comics side of things. Animation discussion was largely restricted to Avatar the Last Airbender posting, DCAU, and Spielberg cartoons. Anything else received relatively little discussion and really only a few shows had broad praise. FOP was not one of them, it was seen as overly formulaic with a rigid art style.
I have always hated how every character in that show constantly shrieks when they deliver dialog. Every character is voiced in the most shirll and hysterical tone and it's nails on a chalkboard.
Was this the same period in time where Animaniacs was considered the best cartoon ever?
FOP and Gravity Falls have basically the same style of unfunny "quirky" humor but retards worship the latter because it has a "story".
Where can i find the archive in the OP?
Blame Joss Whedon, though Butch did write like that before.
It says more about current standards than past reactions.
BenTheLooney hated Adventure Time
it really does
The real answer is Teen Titans Go. Any millenial who watched the original first fucking hates TTG for becoming a bajillion times more profitable despite it only being able to get there due to riding off the coattails of the OG. If it were a show with the same artstyle, writing, and humor but using completely new characters, it would failed after one season, etc. Younger zoomers are super forgiving of it due to growing up with it while gen alpha probably has never seen full seasons of the original.
There's an occasional funny joke but it's mostly a bunch of repetitive loud noises and bright colors to distract a child for twenty minutes.
This
The first few seasons of FOP still hold up. But this series stopped being anything more than a schedule placeholder a long time ago. When a series is past its freshness date, you need to throw it out.
As for TTG, I had high hopes for the series. But it very quickly degenerated into fart jokes and "Robin is an obsessive compulsive jerk" stories and that gets old really quick. It still generates an occasional laugh, but you have to slog through a lot of lazy writing to get to them.
I always thought people love Gravity Falls because the twins were perfect self inserts/omg relatable characters for the average guy and average girl animation watcher.
It's meh, sometimes it's actually pretty fun and good but imo it's firmly in the "My kid will watch this" instead of "I can watch this with my kids and still enjoy it a bit"
Why couldn't Go! be like the DC Nation shorts?

Because it was an island of realistic overarching plot in an ocean of episodic comedies.
Which made the quirky basedjak humor even more disapointing, because we expected something like Twin Peaks or the X-files.
selling kids to gypsies
Alex......... that's not very progressive of you to display anti romani sentiment
Phineas and Ferb
Old Anon Babble used to hate Total Drama Island and even though there's a good amount of anons that still hate it, it's far easier to make a thread about it now.
To be fair that was in the middle of the Canadian flash garbage deluge. I don't like TDI but it's better than 90% of that ilk. Still looks bad though.
See, accusations of that episode being so mean spirited miss the point. Literally everything Jorgen showed timmy was an illusion because the point was to let timmy know he's not hot shit for doing good things for people
So the only comedy cartoons that were viewed positively were the Spielberg ones? Goddamn, old Anon Babble sounds insufferable.
As someone who grew up on the '03 show, part of the issue is that Go took fucking forever to find its own unique comedic voice.
The early seasons of Go aren't just bad compared to '03 Titans, they're also some of the blandest kids show humor you could possibly have. It was as it slowly morphed into "the writers write the plot around everything from 80s bands to DC universe in-jokes to post 2008 financial advice" that the show felt more and more like it had an identity
Odd, I was born in 91 and I liked FOP.
old Anon Babble
I was here since the beginning and I don't remember anyone going out their way to hate something like Fairly Oddparents, which by then was a five or six year success, unless they were reading shit off John K's blog, shilling for Cartoon Network, or just trying to rile people. Waifus like Trixie or Tootie or Vicky were Anon Babble originals and some of the drawfags like Simon had legendary drawthreads back in the day.
Let me guess, this "old Anon Babble" post you have here caps off at these three posts?
Not the only, it's just that they were by far the most talked-about. EEnE, classic Looney Tunes, and Tom and Jerry were always loved here for example.
three posts in
there was already a tripfag attention whoring
grim fandango.
I liked when I was younger but now it doesn’t
Let me guess, this "old Anon Babble" post you have here caps off at these three posts?
that or every post after it was praise.... really odd cutoff point OP, got a link to the archive?
What a cartoon ones do really well same with the first season. It's okay up to around season 3 or 4 then falls into annoying
Tried to search it through old.sage.moe but it's not there. No idea how OP found it.
i cant find it on oldfriend archive either
what are people AI-generating fake old Anon Babble posts now?
Nope
That's just like, your opinion man.
