The GOOD 'OL or 'why cartoons now blow'

[ChadTower]

Speaking old cartoons, I picked up a 4 DVD set of classic 'toons for $5 at Wally World last night. Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, Mighty Mouse, Betty Boop, etc. There is even a disclaimer at the beginning stating that "these cartoons were from a different time, and may show stereotypes not supported now. Parental discretion is advised" Or something like that.

Watched a Popeye cartoon first that had: Extreme violence, attempted rape, homosexual activity, and violence against women. SWEET!!!!! I laughed ---my bottom--- off.

I have a few sets like that.  REALLY old black and white stuff.  I show them before the movie in the yard - as they were intended to be shown.

That IS pretty ridiculous.


By the way, check this out:

It bears mentioning that in many of these old tunes I mentioned above, there are girls with thin waists, large hips, and big 'ol asses. Man, where'd they all go?

Good point. The "hour glass" has been shattered.

No no no no. Them ain't hour-glass, man. They're PEARS. Lovely pears. (Like below, which should be, like, a genetic template for real-life females....well, except for the yellow....but I could live with it.)

OH I thought you were talking about the Jessica Rabbit-esque toons from a while back.

Thinking back I can't remember any for some reason, though I'm sure they existed. If they don't really, don't tell me.

Should any of us find it strange how easily Ummon was able to conjure up that picture to perfectly demonstrate his point? Or are we just going to chalk that up to thorough research?

Hahn hahn hahn hahn hahn. I must admit, I'm particular to very pale, caucasian females. But, truly, it's a matter of aesthetic...well, and they're less smelly (remember that one??!).

No, dude! I just found it in a side pane of some page, within my casual travels. But, I must say such serenedipity is common to me. It's part of my flow, aye.

Ummon, in your goofy little world of intellectual enlightenment do you discount the importance of effective communication?  Cos you sound like a ---smurfing--- retard when you call them females while you are not simultaneously performing an autopsy or something.  I don't mean that figuratively.  You sound like you are mentally retarded.

[Xiaou2]

heheh,

 /Sarcasm On

 Good Communication?   Where is the value in that?!  Its much more important to try to
make yourself feel better about yourself by trying to be witty - and then falling
all in Love with yourself about how witty you were,  and how everyone is beneath your
level of Intellect... and how Boring and pathetic they are...   so again, making you
feel so much better about yourself...

 /Sarcasm Off


 Personally, I just do not reply anymore.  Its not worth reading
the reply  Deciphering the self love.


 /Self Love Off      heh


 Really, no offense (rib)  ...but Ummon, you really come across like a Tool.

Another case of serendipity in finding these recent replies, in that I was going to delete the link to that Mr. Whoopee vid, and didn't remember if I'd posted it, nor was I sure what thread it was in. So I searched, found it, and decided I'd reply to your posts because in two days who knows whether anyone new would post, and I'd possibly forget.

Anyways: Ya all are guys. That's not pejorative. Merely descriptive. I'm something different, and feel differently about things.

[shmokes]

I'm something different . . .

Oh yeah?  And what are you . . . a male?

BTW, "females" don't call each other "females" either.  Are they guys too?

[Ummon]

Is this something you want to discuss, and perhaps explore yourself and how you function through it? If so, we'll continue.

[shmokes]

No, not really.  I'm just making fun of you.

"Different" in a Jeffrey Dahmer way?

You know, the point of using "girl" or "woman", or "old hag" is to generalize about the age group you're referring to, or at the very least, seperate the jailbait from the legal ones (ie: "I like women" VS "I like girls", the latter being very creepy if coming from any guy over 30).  Might want to think twice about a term that applies to the entire age-range of the gender in question. Unless that's how you're "different". In which case, you best not admit that here.

sorry to gate crash but

"Different" in a Jeffrey Dahmer way?

its odd to see that name mentioned when only earlier I was watching a documentary on him on some crime investigation channel.

and my 2 pence, when today's cartoons consist of 'yo ho' and 'ahoy' as an entire language its no wonder kids are getting dumber by the minute ! why can't they bring back.... 'Count Duckula' and similar ! at least the plots were funny and had some small thinking parts ! also felix the cat was pretty cool (the original black and white ones)

LOL I was wondering WHat the hell is this guy talking about, .... 
.... and then I remembered... this is a thread about cartoons.  LOL

That's why I called you out.

Duly noted.

Ya silly. You got all caught up in other things.

Yeah, Duckula was pretty cool. By the same folks who did Danger Mouse, but better than it. Loved the color scheme, too. I think an early 'black board' cartoon.

Incidentally, Janeane Garofalo is a prime example of some of my preferences, displayed in the following features:
 
- her hair and eye colors
 
- her general facial features, especially the shape and size of her mouth
 
- and, most noticable in the very beginning of the vid, the quality and register of her VOICE. (I could quite live without sopranos.)
 
 

 
 
She does seems to have a figure. However, her contrasting feature is her height (or lack of it), as she's 5' 1''.
 
 
 
Also, Ray, perhaps you missed, or have forgotten, this?
 

Ssss. I find it interesting most males go out of their way to look at atrociously thin young ladies and porn consisting of them, especially asians. Would think males are inherently pedos, but in the closet.

 
Given these, your comment above strongly suggests you haven't the aesthetic tools to reckon my usage.


Also, it comes to mind to mention that people of all ages will often refer to their non-spousal companion as 'girlfriend' or 'boyfriend'. Hmmm.
