Growing Around Growing Around: A slow moving trainwreck. (General Thread)

[Johnny Bravo]

I think he probably reads this thread from time to time.

I did notice the point in his FAQ about why adults go to school was similar to a suggestion I made in this thread, that adults go to school to learn how to have fun. This is contradicted by previous episodes where the adults take tests on pointless details from cartoons, get bad grades, are forced to do homework, and generally don't do anything fun at all in school. I'm not saying Enter stole my idea but it is odd that he would say this now when all prior scripts point to the contrary, that school is simply a punishment or babysitting for adults.

In the latest episode
Robert has to open a box for his teacher
so much fun!

"Now that you are mature and physically strong enough to do this job well, you have to leave and learn about how ice cream tastes."

And does the story explain why he has to do it and not her or anyone else? I couldn't be bothered to look past the first sentence before skimming through the rest.

She lost the key
Robert tries to help
He says it is impossible
She forces him to do it
Robert's family does stupid shit to open it and fail
Robert kicks the lock and open it
He brings the box to Kathy
She says nothing is impossible, the moral Enter was going for
the end

Robert said it was impossible to open without the key.

The stupid little cunt made him open it without the key to prove that it was possible.

Robert refrained from beating her into Jell-O for putting him though a bunch of shit over a figure of speech.

I lost valuable minutes off of my life.

Oh course he did, Entard's to scared to take risks after all.

One of the more disturbing implications about this universe is that as soon as a child achieves sentience they're forced to choose a career to support their parents. In one episode Sally mentions off-handedly that she's been buying groceries for her family since she was four years old. I can only assume this is about the age children start driving and working. You know, it's no wonder the adults in this world are so messed up.

Growing Around
The child labour propaganda!

Hey, since you're the "theories guy", and whatnot, can you explain why the fuck any adult cares about having bad grades? What's going to happen, if they don't ace Cartoon-Sperging?

 

[ASoulMan]

What I find disturbing the most aside from the child labor is when the kids finally grow up, reproduce, then proceed to get bossed around by their own offspring.

Enter said that Elders work as well
so to have a job later as an internet reviewer later?
I don't know

Nope, no one on earth can explain that.

If the purpose of school is to learn to have fun there shouldn't be any grades. You can't assign a grade to how much fun someone is having. I could accept a pass/fail grade if the assignment was something like how to play hide and seek, but those aren't the kinds of lessons Enter's school is teaching. Most of it is pointless bullshit. A lot of it is flat out wrong. I'm sorry, I still can't get over the fact Linda failed an assignment because she didn't write that thunder is caused by angels bowling. How the fuck is that related to fun?

A man worked on his business literally his whole life. He bought it when he was only 3 years old, and ever since he had poured his heart and soul into making it into an empire. Then, he turned 18 and had a son of his own. Now he watches as that son runs his beloved corporation into the ground, as the younger is too childish to understand how to manage it. The man can do nothing to stop it, as he's too busy learning how to play with LEGOs.

That sounds like some kind of horror story. A man is forced to act like a toddler for a year. If he goes against it, he is killed. He has to put his son in charge of it. His son ruins everything. His life is ruined. Once the child learns he screwed up, his son is put in charge. The cycle continues.

Actually, I could see this as a pretty good parody of kids' shows for a mature audience. If King Enter would kindly grow a sense of humor, I can actually see this show taking off.

Hell, anyone could do it. We've come up with enough dark comedy to fill a season or two.

Enter wants to write for kids
because ofwhat the evils of Casey Alexander and crew has done to them

It could also work if Enter went in a completely silly direction. Having kids in charge would make some kind of sense if the world actually operated on kid logic, like if thunder actually was caused by angels bowling, but no, he's insistent that GA takes place in a world just like our own.
