    I don’t like to be hypocrite and say that I don’t watch this anymore, I just to know if someone here also watches some cartoons.

    Which cartoons do you still watch?

    I don't regularly watch cartoons, but I do watch animated movies like the Shrek series and Ice Age.

    I would get into some of the old Looney Tunes, for the nostalgic value. Some of them had fairly involved references, using classical music for example.

    I loved Samurai Jack, Power Puff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Dexter's Lab. Cartoon Network took all of them off, though, so I don't watch cartoons anymore.

    It's really too bad, though, My mind needs the stimulus, sometimes.

    :D I'm trying to figure out whether I should admit this or not. hehe BUT I
    guess I will and say that I watch SpongeBob Squarepants every chance I
    get when I need a lift or a smile. I even watch it in English *and*
    German. :eek:

    Well the kids generally have cartoons on and I'll watch some of those with them. I'm still a big fan of the older ones, though, like Bugs Bunny. Spongebob is a show that isn't even allowed in the house, lol.

    Spongebob subversive?

    I thought it was pretty harmless, but then I haven't watched a whole "episode".

    What is on the cartoon that is objectionable?

    There's something to be said for watching nonsense with colors that move around. Cartoons are a nice diversion when you have a tendency to think all the time!

    It is harmless... and it's very funny and can always make me smile. There was some media attention by a group that made claims that were unfounded just to get their names in the news and some people bought into it.

    I wouldn't really be surprised if it was the competition starting the rumors... like how often has THAT happened?!

    Indeed... even our cat pays attention to cartoons and the weather station
    while nothing else on television interests her. :)

    I don't know why Spongebob isn't allowed on your house. Personally I find it child friendly.

    Ah, another Spongebob fan. :D I've noticed that recently some of the writing is becoming a little more complicated/ hints at grown-up humor, but I still find it harmless. If I'd be looking for trouble at every turn, I could probably find some, too, but I could do that with *any* cartoon. :D

    .What I heard is that Spongebob Squarepants is supposed to be gay. I've never watched the show, so I can't comment on the validity of this rumour.

    I just don't like spongebob.

    I do rather enjoy Pinky and the Brain. But if I am watching a cartoon it's likely to be South Park. Now THAT is a subversive cartoon!

    Pinky and the Brain are great! They show it here at about three o'clock in the morning, and on weekends we always try to see it.
    Have you ever noticed how many voice actors they use? That is one long credit.

    I never could get into watching a whole show of Pinky and the Brain... but I do know a number of people (adults :) ) who always liked it.

    I had noticed the lengthy credits. I find that quite impressive.

    Katharina....I especially love the theme song.

    katharina New Member

    I don't remember anything about the theme song... if I ever even heard it, that is. Care to hum a few bars?

    Spongebob's theme song is easy... they stole the old salty sailor song, Blow the Man Down for it. :D

    Another very subversive cartoon is Boondocks. They don't try to hide it, and they are quite in-your-face. It's usually on late in the evening, but if they have a set time, I've yet to find when that is.

    Now there's one I have never heard of. What's the premise of it supposed to
    be? And I assume it's not in any way a cartoon for children? Well no, late
    night it wouldn't be. I need more coffee. :eek:

    I used to watch that show when I was a kid. I know that it is a subversive cartoon but I am enjoying. I guess that I am one of those people who are violent.
