Dawgstar posted:It's funny how much if you go back and look at Animaniacs how adult some of the humor is, by which I mean 'you would probably only get this if you were over thirty.' An entire segment devoted to a Goodfellas parody! The kids love Tommy DeVito! And even more randomly you'd get things like where the joke is two old ladies at the mall chasing the Warners to ask them if they like George Wendt. Cheers was also very big with the youth of the time. (I did actually watch Cheers at the time.) Then you had Freakazoid which was just full muzzle off. It's pretty amazing. It's where I learned the difference between getting a cut of the net and a cut of the gross. "Always ask for a piece of the gross. Not the net. The net is fantasy." To this day I am still discovering things that make me go, "Oh THAT'S what Looney Toons/Animaniacs/Tiny Toons was parodying  "If anything is up for a reboot it's Freakazoid. Maybe it will get a chance since the Animaniacs got a second season. It's definitely a show that deserves another go at it.

David Warner was the first voice actor I recognized as a kid as playing two separate parts. And my little brain exploded trying to square the circle of Ra's al Ghul and The Lobe being the same guy.

Ohhhh Morty we're in a TV show, let's all talk about how freaking weird Die Hard is, hahaha. Haha yeah I agree it rules. The Die Hard stuff was great edit: I should say that I have liked nearly every episode of the show with very few exceptions. I don't care how much the fanbase memed it, Pickle Rick was good stuff

American Dad just put out You Are Here a really good Halloween episode, I suggest watching it as a doubleheader with the episode Rabbit Ears if you haven't seen the show in a while and want to get a sample of some of the cool stuff they've been doing lately.

Yeah, I’m surprised by the lack of American Dad mention in here. Since the move to TBS it’s been consistently good, and often times really loving weird in the best ways. Check out the latest ep for sure.

Last I heard he doesn't want to do more Moral Oral. CN/Adult Swim kinda screwing him over with the original cancellation, plus the drama over the WB/Discovery merger killing animation projects left/right/center, means it's a terrible idea to take up any offers even if he did want to continue it.

Seeing how Dino went back to CN to make Frankenhole (and Before Orel) I doubt he had that hard of feelings toward them.

I do think that Clone High is pretty dated, so I'm not sure what it'll be like with people decades older making it after the original media environment it was made for is long gone.

Ragging on Gandhi should be fair play IMO, but it'd be cool to have an Indian VA for him. I can attest a lotta Indians also rag on Gandhi.

In fairness I don't think I knew what an O-Town was before, during, or after Clone High's time anyway. When it comes to rose-tinted glasses for the show it's hard to really remember how many of-the-moment musical guests and references the show relied on or worry too much about Horrifying Abuser Marilyn Manson closing out the second episode with a jaunty food pyramid musical number because I mean, did you see the pool?  Lord and Miller really do have the same cache of "I will watch literally anything they have their hands on" that Pixar had for its first decade, and it hasn't failed me yet.

That bit rules because there's an extra layer of funny if you're familar with JFK and how he talked, but it's still funny without that prior knowledge because the character talks a bunch before you get to that bit. edit: Also regarding Ghandi, I still laugh at saaaaaaaaay WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Ah man, that brings back some highly specific stupid memories from me back in college. That scene spawned some shitpost videos such as this: https://youtu.be/MFe3kxOPN5k Notably, the third one there is original and the person making the video got enough requests that they spun it out into an entire trance song: https://youtu.be/B69Ev9C_p4Q Which got a decent amount of live but was then sampled for TF2 trance music shitpost (as was the style at the time): https://youtu.be/9v2SlLIS9eU Man what a dumb sequence of events.

Clone High is good TV. Not even a reboot, more of a second chance - Lord/Miller were always way ahead of the curve and I feel like the general public only caught up to them a few years ago

It's actually a huge bummer that they did come back and make the special about Orel living on his grandfather's farm as a younger kid. Called Before Orel: Trust, apparently. It just had a much more annoying energy and didn't work. Makes me pessimistic about them coming back to the idea, since yeah, the regular ending worked out pretty fine. There were a few plot arc ideas that they had to dump that sounded fun (Orel's grandfather taking care of him as his leg healed and him struggling with his grandfather's atheism sounded like it could have been a solid one. Maybe a funny one about Orel becoming a goth. Plus just a general arc of the audience getting to see Orel's recovery rather than the time skip.) And yeah, Dino went back to them to make Frankenhole too. Which was uneven but alright.

The first season of Morel Orel is extremely W era critiques and while funny, is a bit cringey/overdone by today's standards. A sillier romp about conservative America. The last season is still just as good though and is dark in a much more universal and lasting way. The ending was good and adding just a bit of hope to one of the most bleak shows ever made was a nice touch.
