Really? Was I the only one that watched Muppet Babies as a kid? Sure it was cheesy as hell, but they did parodies of stuff that I didn't really get until I got older and thought back on it (they did a full episode of video game parodies, including Kermit in Frogger, they parodied ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc). Loved that show, even though I didn't fully appreciate some of the parodies and humor until I got older and ran across the show after I'd seen those movies.
Top 5: DuckTales (There was a talking duck that swam in a pit full of gold coins. Need I say more?) He-Man (Man-at-Arms, Panthor, Battle Cat, Teela, Skeletor. Come on, I just named three of my kids.) Snorks (Adaptad to an environment where they could live underwater and sing at the same time. Eat your heart out Darwin.) Gummy Bears (Money theme song.) M.A.S.K. (If Optimus Prime and G.I. Joe bumped sexies, this is what you would get.) This dude is legitimate.
That you can't believe that, in a thread a whopping 24 posts long, SOMEONE hasn't mentioned your favorite cartoon.
For the record, its "Kamehameha" named after the old King of Hawaii. And DBZ is far and away my favorite cartoon, partly due to my man-love for it's most badass character with the best theme song ever devised: And me and my twin brother used to love Chip and Dale, the original more than Rescue Rangers: And of course, the forever "given", The Simpsons.
The Warner Bros. cartoon were always my favourite, especially the rarely seen "Three Bears" skits, in which the father bear was a hilariously abusive asshole and the baby was a retarded galoot. My favourite of all time was this one:
Animaniacs, Histeria and Pinky and the Brain raised me. The old X-Men cartoons, the old Spiderman ones too. Holy shit I'm hard just thinking about it.
I would (and still do, I'm a big kid) lose my mind for cartoons. My life revolved around them. My big four were: Transformers. I have the collectors box set of every original episode, and the original movie. Robotech. Giant transforming robots and massive space carnage? Yes fucking please. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I even have the collected works graphic novel by Eastman and Laird, it's a lot more adult. Dungeons and Dragons. The one where the kids get sucked into the world and follow an albino version of Yoda around who calls himself the Dungeon Master. I was a nerd.
I used to watch this everyday before school. I honestly thought I was going crazy because nobody I've ever talked to had any recollection of this fine masterpiece... actually it could be a huge steaming pile for all I know, it's been a few decades since I last watched it. I'm so going to watch this later tonight.
Lots of memories flooding back... I remember the Bravestarr toys were somehow supposed to be able to shoot back at the television but the hell if I could ever figure it out. I think it was a big crock to get kids to buy the toys.
This was by far the best cartoon: Followed closely by a toss up between these: (The episode where Spiderman fought Wolverine was the greatest event of TV) and And lastly, the classic: Spoiler
