snack eater posted:yes, laughing at a cartoon character is comparable to genocide The subtext is that they spend their entire day consuming alt-right, racist, and fascist YouTube content because a 12 year old in Thailand in 2018 having an opinion on a Simpsons character is loving absurd and lines up perfectly with them having deeply held, passionate opinions on genocide and race relations.

If we're talking about 90's animation, I recently sat down and watched the entirety of Mission Hill and that's a show that needs more airtime. Even though it has a pretty 90's vibe to it, I think it'd actually transfer pretty well to today. At least the bit about 5 people sharing an apartment would ring truer than ever. Also cements that Oakley/Weinstien are the superior writing duo. Now, let's talk about DuckMan. Now there's a show that's pretty firmly rooted in the 90s. I mean, it's not a bad show, it certainly manages to walk the "Lets be offensive, but not be total assholes" line pretty well. Also one of the few shows were Klasky-Csupo animation really enhances it.

Mission Hill provided an unrealistic expectation of what life in your 20s is like.

How many shows have a Cake song as an intro? I feel like Mission Hill isn't the only one. vvvvKinda? I remember them trying to rip on South Park in the early days with some OJ Simpsons joke that went down like a lead balloon. Plan Z fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Nov 20, 2018 |

I've got it. The Simpsons went downhill when South Park became popular.

SirPablo posted:I've got it. The Simpsons went downhill when South Park became popular. There might have just been an escalation of talent bypassing or abandoning The Simpsons, perhaps emboldened a bit by South Park's success, thinking they could just make their OWN show. By the latter 90s/mid-00s, the 'cartoons for big kids/adult' was churning out quite a bit in different venues, and quite a lot of it was getting access to some relatively popular names. I think back to that window, just around the time of South Park, and we get all those Icebox shorts, I think Newgrounds had a big audience, MTV has about 3-4 different animated series, Comedy Central is doing about the same outside of just South Park, the birth/death/rebirth of Family Guy into a juggernaut, Adult Swim's original programming, Spike/TNN tried to do a handful of shows, etc. Quite a few of them ended up getting some degree of popular voices in them, despite even being only webisode series done in Flash. If South Park hadn't been so successful, I don't know if other channels/websites would have been so ready to keep greenlighting animation

Maybe it was more when Futurama started up. The Simpsons Season 10 started six months before Futurama debuted.

And the more subtle references like young Tom Cruise sitting at the card table with Dustin Hoffman when Homer tells him to do the card counting thing. I think the room Burns is in while at the casino is the same room from the end of Space Odyssey

The last episode, Lisa does an "Amalie" send-up where she finds a memento box of Jasper's that was left in the school. Marge starts selling Tupperware because she wants to open the family's first checking account (must be the first time they've mentioned the family's money situation in a decade). She fails pretty hard and gets a makeover that makes her look like a drag queen and she does great. At one point they mention that all the best Tupperware salesmen are drag queens and then they put up "This is true" on the screen and display a bunch of links that they didn't even bother to turn into bit.lys. She goes to a drag club where Rue Paul, Sideshow Mel in drag and Smithers in drag do a horrible, horrible song. Eventually, Homer bursts into one of her parties and blows up her new gig by revealing she isn't a man. He somehow wins her back by dressing as a woman.

Oh boy, they had reward tires of saying people's names in the movie and letting backers voice characters. Surely these decisions can't go wrong.

I thought it was a thing c. 2000 that former industrial warehouses in cities all over the place were getting turned into semi-habitable lofts, with barely any amenities or interior walls or anything but rentable for cheap by starving artist types? Like I thought that was the entire premise. Is that not the case anymore?

It's just more like people watching TV didn't want to see people living in stained drywall apartments. TV and movies gave an unrealistic expectation of how city people lived. Even as a kid, it bothered me that people who made like $20K in a year could have three kids and live comfortably in non-inherited, non-rent-controlled houses in one of the five boroughs. I've talked to people who said you could get some pretty large spaces in dying/small cities pretty easily about 25 years ago. Granted, those people were mostly other cooks who made the same amount of money they were/I am making now.
