Remember when cartoons were funny?

[Navy Chief]

I grew up when cartoons were funny; not Super Heroe types.

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are classics, and this one is my favorite:

Tom and Jerry, best cartoon ever made

 

[Lionheart]

I miss the early versions of Renn and Stimpy....

And Rocko's Modern Life! With his friends Heffer and Wilbert and his little puppie Spunkie...


Tom and Jerry were main staples back then, also RoadRunner! :d

Best of all many of these Greats have dropped off into the Public Domain. :woot:

I think we've all known a guy who talked like that.
When I was on shore duty we had a very senior (GM-12) civilian who had a deep Virginia accent - a dead ringer for Foghorn Leghorn. Whenever he'd come by our shop somebody would do the "Son, ah say, son!" or "Pay atten - ah say, pay attention boy!" lines and it never failed to get laughs. :d I don't think he ever made the connection between him and the Foghorn lines, or if he did he didn't mind because he was a super guy.

Too bad a lot of those cartoons have been banned from public television because they promote violence and give youngsters the belief that you can wack someone in the head with a mallet and not hurt them. Which I think is a total crock of :bs:. I watched those cartoons when I was a kid....and I turned out just fine (or so the voices in my head tell me LOL).

Yes, and I remember the Three Stooges all too well. Ageless comedy. And they were and are still hilariously funny.

At some point in my early childhood development, I realized that if you shot a real person in the face with a shotgun the results would be much worse than the person's nose spinning around their head like Daffy Duck's bill. Or if you fell off a high cliff (Wile E. Coyote style) you would not just walk away with a flattened body. As for the 3 Stooges, well, we all made it to adulthood without anybody's eyes being poked out, skulls crushed by anvils, etc. :d Can you get Looney Tunes cartoons on DVD without the "violent" scenes being cut?

 

[GT182]

Comcast here moved our Cartoon Network to their extra cost channels so we don't get it anymore..... and I'm p*ssed. Bad enough they raised the cost of Basic+ cable so we now pay $102/month, which includes internet. If it's raised anymore I might be up the creek without internet and cable service.

 

[Rami]

I love those cartoons too, this is one of my favorites...

I'd like to add that watching these particular scenes did not make me a racist, and even so, they evened it out by using Lincoln in the same cartoon.

 

[MaddogK]

Yup, sure do miss the old road runner toons, and little rascals.

At least I got all eps of Speed racer on DVD.

I get my old cartoon fix on a cable channel called Boomerang. They show everything from old Popeye shorts from the 30's on up into the 1990's. Mainly Hanna-Barbera stuff but still entertaining nonetheless. Like Strega13 I most enjoy the Tex Avery stuff.
Funny thing about people thinking old cartoons promoting violence and all...the new stuff on Cartoon Network seems much more graphic.
I remember the first time I saw a real anvil I thought I could just pick it up and drop it on my sister's head (I was around 8 or so). Imagine my surprise when it wouldn't budge.
