I'd also like to mention that Daniel Kibblesmith wrote that episode

oh great first it turns out not only is Alex Hurt me plenty is a producer but daniel kibbles and bits is a writer on it? the guy who literally and unironically created snowflake and safespace for NU Warriors and admitted in interviews he wasn't allowed to watch things like x-men and spiderman tas or nick/cn really any of the cool shows in the 90s?
I said this in a thread that talked about him but Danny Kibbles and Bits was the kid who's parents packed him bologna sandwiches with the blandest mayo on white bread and salt free crackers in his lunchbox and was the dork who would have gotten his underwear run up the flagpole at school back than. Now he's a grown manlet channeling all that repressed aggression into being a hack job writer.

Daniel Kibblesmith is the name a dog pretending to be a human would take in a cartoon. I don't mean Teacher's Pet, something more lowbrow.

This has now been on YouTube for over 14 years, and I’m sitting here reminiscing about the fact that this cartoon made my teenage self really use the word “Topeka”, like it’s just a regular word and not a place in Kansas.

I'm a little late on this but with the passing of Ms. Olivia Newton John, The animated segment of Xanadu was done by the one and only Don Bluth.
And the kicker? He pulled that off in just a weekend in between working on Secret of Nimh and Dragon's lair. Kinda makes me wonder if the whole movie should have been animated. An animated musical that uses contemporary tunes would have been unique for the time. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Heavy Metal. Still I doubt even Bluth could have pulled off the elaborate roller stunts and dance scenes. Especially since at the time his studio was still relatively small and it would have cost more than universal was willing to shill out since it was the still in the days of the first dark age for animation.

I think Regular Show is the best at recreating the '80s. It's not literally set in the '80s, but their tech is so outdated and the environment so sparse that it feels like it's channeling a simpler time. It's more about overall vibes than throwing in references, though they have entire episodes about Betamax.
Wow, I had completely forgotten about Amethyst until you posted this. I was really into DC Nation and this was one of their cutest segments.

At first Regular Show kept the actual year ambiguous and like Archer the technology could constantly change based on what the characters needed. They could be excited about the newest video game being on the cartridge based Sega master System one episode the next could be about getting an embarrassing message of margaret's voicemail. The house had ONE computer that could receive Email that everyone shared. I say at first for those reasons but later episodes and especially the finale made it clear the show took place in some fawcett of the past with the finale flash forwarding to the modern day.
One of the many first videos I've watched when I first joined that site. YouTube between 2006-12 was a very different timeline.

You know mentioning Regular Show. It's hard to believe the show ended all way back in the beginning of 2017. Thinking about it reminds me of the simpler time of animation back in the 2010s. It wasn't until the middle of the 2010s did animation get stupid with wokness.
2015 was the start of bad things to come and it's still going on today.

So true. I wish it was 2000 again and we just got over the Y2K mess.
Yeah. Honest to god, the 2000s (for its ups and downs) was the true final good decade and it was, at least for me, the final baston of the 20th century, and the 21st century truly started by May 2011.

It was sad watching most of 'em slowly rot in realtime. Oh well, a useful life lesson on knowing when to cut your losses if nothing else.

Can't turn back the clock. Really, I'm kind of sick of all the griping. If we want to get out of the mess we're in, we need to be active and not passive. So culture sucks - what do we do about it?

There's not really a lot that can be done. Personally, I prefer to prop up media I enjoy and save the bitching for when it's absolutely necessary. Nothing hurts bad media more than silence.

Re: lesbians being safe, Centaurworld had a member of often-on-screen support cast be gay man, and he is so fucking obnoxious, I would have had to rewind his scenes if I sat down to watch it (one Tvtropes dip in made me decide not to).

If anything, between the original Steven Universe fandom increasing in 2015 to CN then telling you that your old guard favorites are noting compared to Craig of The Creek and Clarence, it just goes to show that the inevitable was bound to happen.
It‘s the same thing with Nickelodeon after Stephen Hilllenburg passed away and The Legend of Korea started to have a more increase of favoritism than Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2015.
Most of the shows that the Internet astroturfs over and are barely watched by real people when ratings mean nothing these days was the big eye opener when quality and nuance of great animation started to dwindle.
It’s just shocking that it took seven years for most people to realize it.

Been watching Batman: TAS and was shocked by how good the Two Face two-parter is. For one, it's better than any Nolan Batman movie, fite me and two, Boomers and older generations really gave children more credit than we do today. They kept the story simple, but they weren't shy about showing dark characterization like Two-Face's descent into madness. Now? Cartoons come in two flavors, so adult that you can't show them to kids or so dumb it's outright patronizing to its audience. I guess Avatar is the exception, but it isn't the rule like it was with 90s cartoons.
