Cartoon Love
May. 7th, 2006 01:18 amThe stupid headlight on my car decided to be cute tonight and not turn on when I started the engine. I didn't want to get stuck in Mac at 11 at night, and if I got pulled over I could always deny all knowledge. I drive home, encounter no police, and check my lights again when I park. AND THE BLOODY THING WAS WORKING!!
The headlight's messing with my head, man. I will not miss driving Highway 18 at night.
I don't believe you're ever too old for cartoons (especially with the stuff [adult swim] is putting out these days). When I was young they made me laugh because characters were silly and would do funny things and, like many children, I was easy to amuse. Now that I'm older, watching cartoons is a slightly different experience. Some of the things I found funny as a youngster aren't as funny now, but there are also references to things that as a child I would never have understood. Those must be for people like me and parents who have young kids who make them watch with them. One of my favorite examples is from ReBoot, and it references the old Britcom "Are You Being Served?" If you've never seen the show, it might seem a little... off. But AYBSers will understand.

Here's a list of my favorite cartoons, because I'm watching Toon Disney and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Some are old, some are new.
ReBoot -- the one and only, the first CG cartoon ever, and I was there at both the beginning and the end.
Futurama -- Good News, Everyone!
Venture Bros. -- Gods how I love. Dean is teh geek. New season in June!!
Robot Chicken -- semi-regular Mark Hamill! What more could you want?!
Cowboy Bebop -- Erica made me watch it. Spike is mucho awesome.
Trigun -- Love and PEACE!!
Gargoyles -- not so much the cartoon itself as Brooklyn.
The Tick -- heh heh, gotta love stupid superheroes and their chubby sidekicks who are often mistaken for rabbits.
Teen Titans -- I just found out this ended. On my birthday of all days. Yarg.
Blazing Dragons -- I only saw it a few times and nobody plays it anymore, but it was funny as hell. "We're dragons and we're proud to say / We fight evil and we don't get paid!"
Time Squad -- More Mark Hamill! Whatever happened to this show?
Aqua Teen Hunger Force -- Gentlemen! Behold! The Fargate!
Tenchi Muyo! In Love -- EEEEEH??!!?! SHUUGAKU YOKO???!!!! *dies*
Generator Gawl -- Love much. But could do wihout Masami's useless character and Gawl's generic cocky-anime-hero-dork attitude. Ryo is loooove. Koji is teh sex.
Sealab 2021 -- and in this episode, the lab explodes!
X-Men Evolution -- they NEVER play this anymore. I miss my fuzzy blue elf.
Pirates of Dark Water -- anything with pirates, baby.
The Last Unicorn -- "Now that I'm a woman..."
The Sea Prince and the Fire Child -- this one's pretty obscure. I love my friend to death for finding me a copy.
Here Comes the Grump -- nobody, and I mean NOBODY I have spoken with has ever heard of this one. I think it went to Cartoon Hell.
Rainbow Brite -- I made a ringtone of the theme for my phone!
Thundercats -- I saw a few of these more recently, and now it seems so silly. But still fun.
Sonic the Hedgehog -- the OLD one. With the robots and shit.
The Great Mouse Detective -- omg Disney. Back when it was good.
Wizards -- OMG Ralph Bakshi! This cartoon is freaking trippy. I can't believe my parents let me watch it as a child.
That's it folks. I have to go to bed before I drop dead from exhaustion.
