I was wondering if Im just becomming an old fuddy-duddy or does anyone else agree.
The cartoons these days that are SUPPOSED to be funny to me suck. I mean, I remember when I was a kid and we got to watch cartoons. There would be times I would actually laugh out loud. Sure, even when I was young, it wasnt all the time a huck and chuckle a minute. But there was a few times I may actually laugh at something.
These cartoons today...especially on Cartoon Network. Shows like Ed, Edd and Eddy, Kids Next Door, The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy...They seem like hits because my son watches this stuff every day. But....Ive never heard him laugh once!!! Not in all the countless hours he watches have I ever even heard a chuckle!!!
And for me...having to sometimes actually see the Cartoon or hear it... Some of them like The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, not only do not make anyone laugh. But for me is downright ANNOYING AS HELL!!! Sometimes I want to take a bat to my TV its so annoying.
The only thing that makes my kids laugh is cartoon with shock value. Like Family Guy, Beavis and Butthead (they watch it if they see it) or the Simpsons. Now, Im a fan of 2 out of 3 of those. So, I think there are good laughs on those. But what makes those laughable is the almost adult and sometimes way adult shocking humor which maybe my kids maybe shouldnt be watching in the 1st place. Those will get a laugh out of them...and me.
But as far as the innocent, should be suitable for all audiences cartoons. Couldnt buy a laugh. The amazing thing...My kid watches it like its the greatest cartoons ever made.
I dont know how to feel. I mean, there are some classic cartoons out there and I feel like they get lame attempts at humor and they eat it up. And Im over there listening and sometimes watching and thinking...just play a video game instead of watching this crap. SHEESH!
Am I alone here?
