What if a cartoon was made about your personal life? - Would YOU watch it?

[The Curmudgeon]

Imagine if any of the big companies decided that your life was worthy of being a cartoon. They would cherry pick people, places, and events in your life that they would think are entertaining. Even though the cartoon is about you, they wouldn't bother consulting you much about the direction or details. They would embellish aspects of your life. They would even make up family, friends, etc for you.

Additional, but optional, questions:

1) What genre would a cartoon about your life be?

2) Would there be shipping in it?

3) Which company makes the cartoon?

4) How many seasons does it last?

Literally sitting behind a computer for nearly 20 years? Who'd watch that shit?
Well, i think it'd work as an "avant-garde" movie

 

[Tragi-Chan]

It would be slice-of-life comedy in an urban setting with a surreal edge. Kind of like Mission Hill or Downtown. But I’m in the UK, and we can’t do decent adult animation, so likely some dumbass writer would throw in lots of shock humour and it would be forgotten about after a season.

one of those old childrens propaganda cartoons without filter that gets randomly dark without warning
no , main character gets hitched early
North korean government
20-30, buts after 12 its basicly rehashed concepts

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

1) A mockumentary that is hyper self-aware. Whether it was a comedy or a serious suspense/drama would depend on the episode (annoying the audience greatly)

2) Probably not given the aforementioned self-awareness: largely solitary main character and lots of introspection.

3) Rotoscoped live-action like the A Scanner Darkly movie and those old Charles Schwab “talk to chuck” adds.

4) 1 really good first season on followed by several mediocre seasons casual fans will be disappointed in but die-hards will say are the best seasons.

 

[Overcast]

It would be a dark comedy with psychological aspects thrown in. It would be set in the present day with flashbacks of my past to establish context for certain problems.

There would probably be quite a bit of shipping, but rarely does anything substantial happen and every possible ship sinks so the shippers get bored and leave.

Probably some Canadian company, but something like Bones would be nice.

I'd give it two seasons if I'm lucky. I'd like to think the slow but steady amounts of progression throughout would get people invested.

king of the hill without any clever writing.

 

[Penis Drager]

It would be a bit like Life and Times of Tim except Tim's also a racist alcoholic who's always online.
It would have its moments but I'd probably drop it after the first season and mostly forget about it.

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

An animated slice of life tragicomedy, basically a shitty hybrid of Bojack and Tuca and Bertie, centered around my experiences in field biology but with a flashback season to my earlier life to explain things. Only shipping would be between side characters. It's be a Netflix release, so whatever shitty Korean company that could do it the cheapest. I think it'd get canceled after every season but they'd bring it back until the final 5th season.
