1549 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 personally I prefer Futurama. Home Movies is a good show, but I would rather see it only once a week. I think it should be returned to the Sunday Night slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I like the 'anime-ized' Adult Swim better, more because I prefer Japanese cartoons over American cartoons. My vote goes to Big O! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand Anime because it isn't funny. If it was funny I would like it, but I don't watch cartoons to see fighting sequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that arrogant starship captain is funny too. Especially when he pursues Layla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point in time it's almost like mindless dribble. It gets old, but that's just my opinion. Something like the Simpsons I can watch one episode that I haven't seen before, but if they play it again, I can't watch it again and be interested. South Park is just retarded, IMO. That's like the epitome of mindless garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Park is mindless dribble, sorry if my opinion hurts your feelings. Watching an episode about this Timmy character watching his dad in some gay house, and his mom killing him, well, it was quite lame. You should be happy that a 15 year old watches something that stimulates the brain, rather than feeding to the 'sit in front of the tv and drool while some elementary students cuss their brains out' part of people. It's nto funny or entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 who is the 15 year old you refer to that is stimulating his/her brain? Me.

Spiff Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 oh yes, anime is so much more stimulating than any other cartoon. when you have anime, you might as well not even go to school or read books or anything. christ, give me a break. south park is not for drooling kids who sit in front of the tv all day. i know many people in college, who get 4.0 grades who love south park because of its intelligence, satire, and comedy. so get off your high horse about how anime is for more informed people.

I didn't say anime was for more informed people. I said that anime stimulates the brain far more than most American cartoons. I know plenty of people who watch South Park, that also have good grades, but none of them ever say they watch it because of the intelligence(which, I don't believe can say is existent), they love all the nasty storylines, cursing, and pure vulgarity of it.

Cerbaho-WG Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I'm siding with Spiff here, South Park is one of the more intelligent cartoons out there. If you're not very smart, a lot of the things on the show won't be picked up. Same thing with Family Guy. That show can throw potty humor at you, but then put some very intellectual humor on it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 I agree and disagree. Though Anime is no more mentally stimulating than South Park. South Park is not intelectual humor either. The Simpsons is far more witty, and has even more political satire. South Park is a funny show. Perhaps my favirote episode was the one in which Indians took over south park, and the towns people were forced to live in shacks. They then suffered a sars outbreak. In the end they win back the money to buy the town from the indians and their casino highway, but end up gambling it back away. My favirote lines from the show are: Stan's father: There is no way the gay scout master could have affected the children Stan to Cartman: You silly goose (car screeches to a halt) Stan's father: God damnit stan, you call cartman a jackass right now!
