Tiny Toons ended because early internet furries were stalking Tress Macneil and like, leaving explicit messages about Babs Bunny on her answering machine. Dennis Falk, to be more precise. So notorious his mug ended up being the inspiration for the first guy you see on the Get A Life foundation.

The Warners are just whatever the gently caress Bosco and Honey were. Cartoons, I guess.

He was originally "negro boy" as first designed, but lost the southern dialect pretty quickly and minstrel aspect and became just another character of vague sprcies.  Still pretty cringe worthy, but as a kid I never thought of him as black, just as an "old-timey character", or Mickey rip-off.

The plot of the third episode of NewsRadio revolves around the Joey Buttafuoco case.

Wheat Loaf posted:I went to see a movie where they played a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends segment that was about 10 minutes long but felt like it was half an hour and all the characters (especially the blue one) were incredibly annoying. I still don't entirely see the appeal. That show always sucked hot garbage.

That's actually a pretty fascinating case and it's interesting how the wife explains her perspective on things. Joey had always been a piece of poo poo, it took her a while to figure out because she had a very loyal and faithful personality. So by that time he'd already gambled away their house for cocaine once.

I vaguely remember some of the plots and jokes with Phil Hartman's character being unintended bummers after the fact. I haven't seen the show in years though I hope it has aged well given how fondly I remember it in my heart. Of course, a significant portion of the cast hasn't, though some of them are doing well like Stephen Root and Khandi Alexander.

Stephen Root has aged incredibly well. If you put a picture of him in season 1 of NewsRadio and in his most recent appearance in Brooklyn Nine-Nine side by side I would not guess that 20 years had passed between them.

I rewatched the first few seasons of Newsradio a while ago and it held up pretty well, except for the episode where Matthew becomes obsessed with Dilbert and Scott Adams gets a cameo.

At that time Dilbert was still that "weird comic that our engineering department likes". Scott Adams lost it at some point around the Office Space becoming a cult hit and Dilbert - the animated series tanking. Although I used to be an engineer and liked the animated series.

Dave Foley resolved his legal issues recently. I think, as a group, they're doing OK. As for Dilbert, I liked the strip but even as a ten-year-old I could tell something was off about Scott Adams. You got the sense that he thought he was the smartest person in the world, and constructed his worldview accordingly.

I dunno, I think the first decade of Dilbert holds up pretty well (the first few years are kind of bad, but a different kind of bad than what Scott Adams is known for these days.) Early on Dilbert is meant as more of a lovable loser and is usually the butt of the joke; his supposed intelligence is used to contrast how clueless he actually is and he frequently gets outmaneuvered by people less "smart" than he is. It's only later that Dilbert started being a smug rear end in a top hat.

It's good to hear that Dave Foley is doing well since he was a mess last I heard but Joe Rogan being an adjunct member of the alt-right was precisely the kind of "not doing well" I was thinking of, even if he might be personally financially stable or wealthy.

I mean yea, he's still Joe Rogan, dude was always insane. Joe Rogan has always loved three things. Fighting, doing drugs, and asking if we REALLY know the moon landing happened. He hasn't so much aged badly as found a large platform to age normally on.
