Crain posted:It'll be interesting to see what finally kills off Family Guy and/or The Simpsons. Eventually they need to find new voice actors for the rest of the casts. Marge's voice actor is basically finished. I'm surprised they kept her at all. Same with the rest of the cast on both shows. There's gotta be something else they want to do, even aside from the ones who do it for the paycheck. People are also going to age out or pass on. If they decide it really doesn't matter and replace the cast as needed I dunno what would kill it finally. Has doing Marge finally wrecked her throat? I remember when she was on Inside the Actor's Studio with the rest of the cast she didn't want the camera on her when she did Marge's voice because she really scrunch up her face which didn't sound like much fun.

SlothfulCobra posted:I guess there's also the aspects that it really doesn't make any reference to understanding what Homestar Runner is, and Homestar Runner generally is a lot more self aware than most of the things they lampoon. I haven't watched Robot Chicken in a long while to say if it's gotten worse all around. Maybe they cycled out all their staff worth a drat? Maybe Seth Green has matured into a less funny adult investing big into NFTs instead of action figures to play with. I hope Seth never got his apes back.

I've been kind of enjoying Helluva Boss. The fight scene where Loona and Millie rescue the boys from the humans was pretty cool and I dug the Loona/Octavia scene in the last episode. (I can honestly take or leave Blitzo a lot of the time.)

Macaluso posted:I feel like the dynamic of the trio is very good, as well as Blitz and Stolas. It also probably helps that Stolas in general has kind of stolen the show. Loona seems pretty popular too, but admittedly I don't see a flood of whatever her equivalent of 'Stolas being best divorced dad' is on YouTube Shorts.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Have you checked any furry porn art sites? No, but I see that now. Macaluso posted:I mentioned the trio and Stolas just because they are more or less the core of the show, but the show is filled with characters that people loved from like day one. Verosika is a hot demon chick voiced by Cristina Vee , Octavia is like this broody emo girl, Asmodeus have an awesome design and a great singing voice, Fizzerolli is obviously hugely popular, not to mention being voiced by Broadway Beetlejuice, Stryker is loving cool as hell AND voiced by Norman Reedus? Whaaat?? I've seen so much fanart for all these characters with maybe the exception of Octavia but I see a lot of love for that character anyway. Reedus? Nice. I didn't recognize him. Mostly because I was thinking he'd be the sort of character Josh Holloway would play but Reedus is even better.

It was never very good, it much like robot chicken could have some very funny bits and episodes. Seth is just using it as a cash waterfall so he can fund better stuff like american dad or orville Yeah, Family Guy felt like it peaked around the second season or so and it wasn't exactly a big peak.

IBroughttheFunk posted:Freakazoid I think suffered a bit from being a little ahead of its time. I remember watching it as a kid and kind of liking it, but also being confused a lot as well- and then as an adult I did some rewatches and found myself quick loving the hell out of how it just relishes in its own meta-weirdness. 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."

Dragon Age Absolution is pretty good and breezy at six episodes. Maybe not worth if you don't care or don't like Dragon Age as a setting. As video game things go it's not up there with Edgerunners or Arcane but certainly better than that odd DOTA show.

drrockso20 posted:Personally as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more against the hiring of celebrity VA's for TV shows unless they're willing to commit to the whole project like say Estelle as Garnet, as otherwise it just causes more problems than its worth dealing with(see several fusions over in Steven Universe that should have had a lot more appearances and importance end up getting totally ignored because the crew did a stunt casting of a VA that was too expensive and/or unavailable to do the voice again, the show even made jokes about that being an issue) A lot of it is probably down to the director, too. Dreamworks seems like they'll call cut on basically any line read.

SlothfulCobra posted:A while back there was a whole thing where DC comics was putting out adult-ified grim and gritty versions of old Hannah Barbera properties, and the Flintstones one was fairly popular, but the rest didn't make an impression like apocalypse Scooby Doo, death Wacky Races, and serious sci-fi Jetsons. The other one I remember was behind the scenes Broadway drama(?) Snagglepuss. The Scooby one veered wildly between 'kind of amusing, considering' and just dire. Some folks really dug it for Action!Daphne.

Apparently the new defense for Velma is "it's ACTUALLY lampooning Riverdale and so it's not fair to compare it to Scooby-Doo" when it's strip-mining Scooby for parts.

Oxxidation posted:i'm not a helluva boss superfan but stolas is probably the #1 thing that kept it relevant, the cast of hazbin hotel is almost universally repellant but leaning onto his domestic troubles gave the show a pathos that hazbin (and helluva's pilot) lacked Hazbin I couldn't get into. Oddly I thought the same thing about Helluva Boss first but got into it a couple of episodes in for whatever reason.

Dapper_Swindler posted:Same, honestly I like the show more for it’s weird character drama and sappy stuff more then the humor, the humor is never bad to be fair but it’s hit or miss. It’s far from perfect and etc but those characters got their hooks in me. Plus I got into new hobbies and met new people because of it. Yeah, even when HB is on sometimes for instance it feels like they let Blitzo go off the rails. Which I know is his point, but it still feels like some moderation could help? I dunno.

Blitzo is kind of a lot so I get it.

SlothfulCobra posted:I think there is sometimes an aspect of these adult shows being helmed by stand-up comedians or writers who don't really know much about the medium and wouldn't really know how you can take advantage of it to do dynamic things where you just aren't limited by the restrictions of unathletic live action actors. I don't know very many specific anecdotes, but I do know that when looking at the people who were created animated series for Comedy Central, most of them don't seem to have any other animation history beforehand. Maybe that's why the Clerks cartoon was so good.* Not only did you have comedic talent in the form of David Mandel (and Kevin Smith too, I guess) you also had a really good character designer in Stephen Silver who went on to do Kim Possible and Danny Phantom which was a much better looking show before Butch Hartman got all over it. *Also sure, only having six episodes might have been the best thing to happen to the show but some of the episodes they talked about doing sounded funny.

YeahTubaMike posted:The "jokes" were nonsensical references and/or childish and/or dated, with the exception of one funny bit that they ran into the ground Velma going "drugs! get your drugs here!" and being super obvious about dealing was funny the first time. The characters were basically unrecognizable, and making Shaggy vehemently anti-weed wasn't nearly as clever as they thought it was (much like every god drat thing else about the show), especially since as far as I know the original Shaggy was never canonically a stoner. Yeah, Shaggy smoking weed was a well-mined vein of standup comics, I think starting in the 90's.

I don't want to see some dumb adults, I thought it was going to be like Richie Rich" From a historical perspective some of these are kind of neat, with Goldie and others having character designs by Jack Kirby. They're not, you know, good to watch but anything that got The King a paycheck can't be all bad.
