That’s actually like every other critic of his on youtube. And as always, a sign that their judgement will forever be awful

Not a great video and I haven't seen the cartoon he's talking about but the way he talks about it makes it sound similar to Growing Around. Annoying girl goes around town annoying people and "literally anything can happen." Shouldn't Enter like the show in that case? Or does Enter actually not see Sally as annoying?

Apparently, that was just a small portion of a much larger rant video.

Mighty B was an old Nicktoon about a brilliant but overenthusiatic girl scout and her wacky antics. That's pretty much it. I thought it was alright for its time. It had its moments but it's mostly forgotten these days. I have no idea why anyone would actively hate it. It wasn't BAD, just sort of generic, and it did have its moments. But I'd hardly call it a Spongebob ripoff.

I think in Enter logic it goes something like this.

First Premise: Spongebob jumped the shark and started sucking.
Second Premise: Spongebob is a wacky comedy cartoon for kids.
Third Premise: Every wacky comedy cartoon for kids is Spongebob.
Conclusion: Every wacky comedy cartoon for kids sucks.

If you're not autistic, you may spot a minor flaw in one of the above premises.

EDIT: Here's another thing I just thought of. While Bessie could be annoying to the people around her, she was tolerated for at least two reasons. First, she was generally just overeager rather than thoughtless or malicious. Second, she was an incredibly loyal person and would go far out of her way to help friends, and even strangers. So they were willing to put up with her occasional annoyingness due to, you know, her redeeming qualities.

Enter only has one of those things. Maybe he's jealous of her for "getting away with it" without understanding why or how people liked her?

Because that’s it’s only real power.

That’s true, they use their disability as an excuse for their bad behavior.

“I can do whatever I want”

“I have autism, stop bullying me!”

They use the autism excuse. And even worse, their parents enable their bad behavior. Which is why most of them grow up to be selfish, spoiled manchildren.

I mean, look at Enter. He’s a egotistical loser with zero originality or creativity. He has dreams of producing a cartoon but no self-respecting company like Disney or Cartoon Network will hire. Who going’s to hire an oversensitive talentless who doesn’t know how to shave and wears the same dirty hoodie everyday.

Its only reason to be remembered is because of the thermometer scene that’s still used as a shit posts gif to this day

I keep hearing about this, but I don't think I've ever seen it and I actually remember watching the show back in the day.

EDIT: Never mind. Someone just posted it in the Random Pics and GIFs thread. That's fucking disgusting.

I might be in the minority here but quite honestly I don't think Growing Around is all that bad of an idea (dont get me wrong, the drawings are bad, there's an autist at the helm, and countless other issues), but the core idea of a world where kids are the ones in charge isn't all that bad. There's Unfortunate Implications maybe but honestly, tons of kids shows have that, the answer is always 'it's a cartoon, don't overthink it'. I honestly think that the core idea of Growing Around could be halfway decent in the hands of competent creators. I kinda like the idea of a world where adults grow dumber over time. Heck, you could even have the kids watch a meta cartoon where the adults are in charge, and show what a catastrophe that would be. This shit writes itself, it's a testament to Enter's poor writing/management that he's unable to make something like this.

I’ve been over this ad nauseam, but here’s a cliff notes reason as to why this doesn’t work.
The main function of using kids in a authoritative position as opposed to adults is to either parody adult functions or to make a commentary on society as a whole. That’s why the South Park kids are the voice of reason in one episode and then blissfully ignorant in the next. The only way to successfully do a kid ran society is to make it a playtime thing, or remove adults all together.
Enter’s core concept, the concept he took from Disney's Flip Flopped, is that kids are in charge and have authority over adults. Even under a competent writer that raises too many questions to work. That’s why KND has to make adults a creation of children and show the kid’s own laziness as their ultimate demise.
Functionally, this concept can not work past a single short. Maybe a single bizarro episode

Yeah, I'm not sure why these people pretend like being a fan makes you a better critic. Anyone can give an opinion on something, so you're not special or particularly good at it just because you are a "fan". As soon as you say you are a fan and give a critique, it will always be clear that you're not capable of giving an opinion without inserting your emotional shit into it.

Wow. It's probably a good sign you screwed up when a 2-hour collab rebuttal gets made about you.

I have a feeling they bring it up because back early on when anyone said anything negative about Enter, his fans would chimp out calling them haters and such. I feel like they say "I used to be a fan" is more of a way to tell those spergs to shut the fuck up or give them some presence of "objectivity"

 

[coach_mclurk]

Since we're kinda looking back on old Mr. Enter stuff with a fresh viewpoint, I started looking at some videos criticizing him and found this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dhGqh9XsrEw
At 6:37 there's a part where Enter all but threatens to sue a high schooler for making a joke about him being a pedo. I mean hell, he practically insinuates that if this was a different time period, he'd seriously fucking kill this guy for "slander." That's how mad he got at a joke. Or maybe he struck a nerve with the pedo thing. Either way, watch out for guys in trenchcoats and his army of lawyers :^)

I couldn't get through the video and no offense those time-codes are misleading because the presumably underaged host keeps rambling about Enter's history and has a grating voice.

Yet all it does it make them look like even bigger dipshits than enter himself

He makes a rather amusing point near the end: Most of the cartoon reviewer community has moved on from the age of carelessly bashing on children's shows, now releasing more relatively positive/mature content, and part of the reason they moved on was because they watched Mr. Enter's online harassment video. They all calmed down because their standard method of critique (Screaming at any problem until it goes away) was causing nothing but clear emotional damage to their own kind. So not only is Mr. Enter stubbornly following a trend that died years ago, but he was the one that actively encouraged the trend to die in the first place. "Rules for thee but not for me" has never been more suicidal.

Sorry about that. I wasn't sure whether I should keep the intro bits or not. I adjusted them for the bits Delhi didn't himself do.
I agree about his voice by the way.

Pretty sure any legal expert would look at Enter's 'case' and go "You do know what a joke is, right?"

Not sure if someone posted this already but this is classic.
