Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

[A Grey Cat]

I thought that image of Rayman eating sushi off a naked furry's body was just some weird porn, not a frame from an actual licensed production.
I was going to say "the strangest part is that you can't blame France for this, it's American" but imagine my shock when I look it up and it turns out that the same frogs that made Peepoodo were involved. BALAK!!!

Wait so all that...all that is true. Fucking hell not only do they rayman dirty again but give him to...THOSE people? The frogs who made fucking peepoodo? Aka the show that makes big mouth look good (by comparison?) Jesus tap dancing christ. Oh BTW go to any comments section on a caption laserhawk video you'll see bugmen praising this crap as "genuis." And what they wanted from ubisoft for years. Me after seeing such comments:

I got reminded of Comedy Central's TV Funhouse which led to be bingewatching it tonight. I love Robert Smigel. He doesn’t get enough credit he was defining the adult stoner cartoon humor that has probably rotted my brain but damnit shit makes me laugh so hard.

Click here for a playlist for all 8 episodes. And just a warning this wasn't a perfect series, some of the live action skits can overstay its welcome. But the actual cartoons and short films are just excellent. I love how Smigel's Funhouse shorts try to replicate the style of the cartoons they're parodying.

This looks so much like what it's parodying Shazzan what a true care for detail. I would like Family Guy so much more if the cutaway jokes led to different animation styles like this. No offense @TVB, I just really hate Seth's artsyle it's so damn boring to look at.

TV Funhouse, that bring me lots of memories like these parodies of Smurfs, Charlie Brown and Mr. T.

The Charlie brown segment was so spot on it reminds of that unofficial looney tunes short rabbit habit. Basically Elmer became a drug dealer in Central Park. Apparently it got all the way to the then still living tex Avery (
and rather than be mad he said "I wish I had a job to give you."

OK. It's time for my epic contrarian take. I will give the frogs one thing:
At least they know how to draw.
I know that Big Mouth was drawn poorly "on purpose" so that the creators could claim they weren't jacking off but I'd rather watch something that doesn't look like it was designed to punish me.
Also, at least everyone in Peepoodo is a consenting adult. I think? I haven't actually seen it but I know that Balak voices a troon which is funny.

 

[Seafarer]

You had me until the clussy shit.
Head out of the gutter, dude.

You may think a little clussy is fine, but before long you’ll find yourself a Goonclown…

 

[Kulee Baba]

Forgive my mad at the internet spergout, but I don't watch Family Guy, how many times do I have to tell you, because I have a Peter Griffin pfp?? Fuck's sake, there are literally other people with Family Guy pfps in the Farms, do not ping me.

Oh, I thought you were the Resident Family Guy, a man who positively can do all things that makes us laugh and cry. You made me think you really hated Trey Parker and Matt Stone and thought higher of Seth in the SP thread.

That Shazzang sketch is a bit like a Family Guy joke where they go total horror. But I just like TV Funhouse's style more for how it copies the artstyle of that old cartoon.

I know in my heart that the people behind this crap wether its big mouth or peepoodo say they're work is for "adults only." They would give their eye teeth to undo any legalities against showing it to kids. Hiding behind claims that "oh its all about being sex positive and tolerant." The frogs who made peepoodo have openly said as much.

Why is Rayman the new host of Ballmastrz: 9009?

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

Why is Rayman the new host of Ballmastrz: 9009?

Because everybody loves Rayman

Why is a MAD skit more respectful than an official Ubisoft product?

Meanwhile, in Rayman's world:

 

[anustart76]

Women of my mothers generation found Archie attractive, the kind of women who went to see cocktail and top gun in their high school days cause "Oh My God Tom Cruise".

I read a lot of Archie as a kid. I always figured he was sort of an average guy while Reggie was the handsome one.

 

[Niggerphobe]

Isn’t she technically his mom

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

Isn’t she technically his mom

Hard to say?

In the first Rayman and Origins she grants him powers and nothing else. The whole mom part comes from a revised bio on the Origins website/manual that claims she and the other Nymphs created him. There is no evidence for the creation outside the manual.

Origins original manual description (2010):

The benevolent yet badass Betilla from Rayman 1 is back with a vengeance. She is the eldest Nymph, one of Bubble Dreamer's first and most beloved creatures. She and her sisters will grant Rayman and his entourage the powers they will need to complete their quest.

Revised manual description (2011):

When the Creator had his very first bad dream, the nymphs gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving our world: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop the nightmare!
Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious nymphs were distracted by some zombie chickens on their way to Bubble Dreamer's sacred snoring grounds, and they lost a sack of lums chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, Rayman was born with a few fewer limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!

2 things.
You're comparing Tom Cruise to (a simply detailed comic strip character) Archie.
Would there have been even enough women readers to publicly acknowledge Archie as attractive? He looks like a generic dude (from the 50s).

Because unlike the frogs behind captain laser hawk, the writers of mad actually cared about what they parodied and were trying to be funny.

The Tom Cruise Comparison was in reference to the time period, not looks. Archie was something which from what I read became popular towards the late 70s with the counter culture movement and the idea of a cool guy instead of a strong guy.
My assessment of why he was attractive is pointing to the fact that he was written to be a likeable knowledgeable high schooler, the Matthew Broderick type. Hes not particularly physically attractive, he looks like an Irish version of the vault dweller avatar.

 

[Mega Black]

This shit was like edge runners but worse

It's really obvious someone at Netflix was like 'Edgerunners was a surprise hit. What can we make that's like that, but cheaper and more woke?'

Then they called up their favorite faggot pajeet and he got in touch with Ubisoft and they made Edgerunners but for Faggots. It's even got the same emotional beats and highly killable cast. It's clearly trying to emulate the shocking betrayal and finale of Edgerunners as well, ending on a hard downer for all the protags. Except, you know, none of the characters are around long enough for you to get attached because this is a show made by hacks with zero talent.

No, I am not the Farms' local Family Guy. But I do stand by my point on the South Park thread, Beavis & Butthead is better.

Meanwhile, in Rayman's world:

tfw Rayman is voiced by Stimpy, Philip J. Fry or Red M&M
