Almost any animated comedy on Nicktoons or FOX. I just don't find them funny. If I have to watch non-Japanese animation, it may as well be action.

Well, one of the things I took from this thread is that I should probably get around to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender at some point..


Yes, yes, yes you should. DO EET.

Ahem.

I'm a big fan of animation produced by countries other than Japan (Italy, Fance, United States, etc) and I can enjoy a variety of different series. But there are a few series that are, um, not my cup of tea I suppose. Most of them are obscure cartoons from my childhood that most people have never heard of but I've got a few more well known series on my hate list.

Problem Solverz is the cartoon I hate the most. Everything about it is so badly excecuted and constucted that I'm wondering why Cartoon Network ever accepted the show (Adult Swim turned PS down guys. Adult Swim. why would you still advertise your series after that)

Family Guy has also lost most of it's charm for me. I'll still watch the older episodes but the the newest seasons have really took a turn for the worse, in my opinion. Hmmm, I'm pretty sure there's a trope for what I'm complaining about. . . .

Fanboy and ChumChum rounds out the 'Cartoons I Hate' list. Something about the show just bugs me. It's not that funny and the animation is pretty creepy. I can't see the appeal of it.

Adventure Time, Flapjack, Chowder, other CN current stuff
The humor is very annoying and consists of little boys shouting and acting idiotic. At least old stuff like Tiny Toons had decent art and animation. I don't think the people who make shows these days can even draw anymore.

Avatar the Last Airbender and other faux-anime stuff
This show felt like Dragonball or Naruto dumbed down for really little kids. I dislike anime-wannabe stuff in general because it always feels like lesser versions of more popular, better shows.

Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park and other 'adult' carotons
These immature and crude shows are pretty much what 'adult animation' means in America. Very sad.

How is Avatar the Last Airbender a ‘dumbed’ down version of Dragonball or Naruto exactly? Yes it is aimed at younger audiences which is my main complaint of the show but that doesn't automatically make it ‘dumbed’ down. I'd go as far as to say it's 'smarter' than the clichéd ridden and poorly characterised Naruto.


As for my answer to the topic I'm not really a fan of Family Guy as its reliance on essentially the exact same style of jokes has completely destroyed it after being on as long as it has. This as well as it being just a soap box for the writers/creator just gets annoying.

I love The Simpsons around seasons 3-11 but it definitely has been on too long and doesn't work as well a massive take that at everything anymore.

Well, that would kind of be it I'd say. They can't really go in depth with the actual plot or characters much because that'd be either 'too dark' or 'too boring'. They pretty much kept it safe and predictable all the way through with silly jokes and tame fights where no one really gets hurt that often, if at all. The ending was pretty much filled with DEM-fest to get around the 'no death' rule.

The only daytime cartoon shows on TV I didn't like were Rocket Power, As Told By Ginger, Rugrats All Grown Up, Totally Drama Island, 6Teen, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Test, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and some others.

However, I loved Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?, Dexter's Laboratory, Jimmy Neutron, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Camp Lazlo, The Fairly Oddparents, Hey Arnold, Aaahh! Real Monsters, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Johnny Bravo, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Teen Titans, etc...

I also still really like the majority of older cartoons shown on Boomerang, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, and Looney Tunes.

Howso? Naruto actually shows the governing nations political systems and their not-so-friendly relationship with one another. That's what the whole Kage-Summit was about, calling out each other country's shady dealings and how they don't trust each other and other gray areas. Avatar was very black and white and just had 'Fire Nation is evil, beat them then once their leader is down they all instantly turn good and filled with sunshine and rainbows. It pretty much talks down to kids when it comes to war and combat.

Then you got Zetsu right now in the manga going behind enemy lines and assassinating all the doctors and healers like an actual strategist would do in war, where the Fire Nation pretty much takes everyone prisoner and stuffs them in kid friendly prisons ready to be rescued by a group of kids rather than just simply killing enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

You have so much inter-workings with the characters and their back-stories compared to Avatar. I mean, look at Toph and Hinata; both have a similar 'sheltered upbringings' but Hinata's is expanded on so much more and gets into more political dealing with the Hyuuga clan and her relationship with Neji and how she inadvertantly caused his father's death when Cloudnin attempted to kidnap her for her Byakugan, which is why he hated her until post-Chuunin Exams. Toph, well, we get her introduction episode then we never see her family ever again and it's not brought up until a filler episode in season 3, then forgotten again for the rest of the series.

I'd say that's smarter than anything Avatar did, which is what I mean by US faux-anime shows tend to just be dumbed down and never really go into more mature territory or just address things in a more detailed manner, especially action shows.

To sum up Naruto and Dragon Ball Z (I haven't seen Dragonball) feel like shows that try and aim themselves at early teens and fall completely into the same clichés that others of their genre have and seem very similar.

Avatar is a kids show that manages to incorporate some nice balance in terms of characters and a hidden maturity (not overly much but still) beyond what it appears to be and I honestly believe I'm yet to see an anime in a close enough style that I would say it could be considered a clone or watered down version of them.

Not a huge fan of the newly created cartoons of today and about a good 2-3 yrs ago. I prefer the classic cartoons such as the old Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, and so on. Sadly I just don't find today's cartoons to be all that funny and worth watching except for a select few.

My top 5 hated cartoons are easily Spongebob, Family Guy, American Dad, Beavis And Butthead, and South Park, as I despise vulgar, brainless comedy, especially if paired up with shitty art and deficient fanbase.

Other terrible cartoons are Winx Club, Ed Edd and Eddy, Ninja Turtles, and pretty much every Nickelodeon show.

Tom and Jerry, mainly because its just the same thing again and again.

Adventure Time. It did like it but it just fell flat. It's jokes aren't funny.

I don't like the Spongebob episodes beyond the Movie, because spongebob became a massive idiotic jerk rather than just a harmless ditz, he treats squidward like crap intentionally. Mr Krabs also took a similar path in being an asshole.

Most new shows seem to focus more on better animation and shit than actual good story telling.

Why is everyone hating on retarted shows? Ed, Edd and Eddy was freaking awesome. No one wants complex shit all the time.

Every incarnation of Scooby-Doo. All of them are ridicolously boring, and mysteries' solutions ccame from nowhere. Also the, the characters are dumbs:
1. There are 5 of them. So why don't they attack that monster, that is alone??
2. They know that monster is a human. And why do they run away from him/her?
3. Scrappy Doo. Just 2 words, and I think they are way enough.

Also: Johnny Test (poor gender swapped copy of Dexter's Lab), Total Drama Island, Action, World Tour (NO COMMENT), Fish Hooks, Kick Buttowski, Cleveland Show (I prefer American Dad), Ben 10 and its worse sequel (a hero, who is more annoying than Naruto.), Robotboy (its Hungarian dub is just lulz.).

Adventure Time
I can write an essay on why I detest this show, but I don't want to do that right now

Spongebob
I don't hate this show, but it's just not funny anymore

Family Guy
Was hilarious, but has become unbearable to watch like the Simpsons

The Proud Family
This show was so ratchet lol. All the characters (except Oscar and Suga Mama) were annoying. Speaking of characters, the main character, Penny is an idiot for not realizing that her best friend Dejahnay uses her on a consistent basis and for being boy corrupted

The Cleveland Show
Tried way too hard to be funny, was funny the first few episodes, but became crap quickly. Glad it got cancelled

Teamo Supremo
I'm sure if this show was made nowadays, it would be a hit. It's a bullshit poorly animated show made by who else but DISNEY. Features 3 kids battling crappy excuses for villains while yelling stupid battle cries like "Chick-a"

What a monstrosity of a cartoon that is. Most retarded show ever.
Also Bob's Burgers. What a load of shit.

Also The Simpsons to some degree. The newer episodes are painful to watch and not funny at all. They should have quit at season 11/12, that's when it started going downhill. It was hilarious up until then.

Tom and Jerry, wasn't that bad, in some episodes Tom and Jerry actually worked together.
But Oggy? You can just shoot me in the face if you ask me to watch that show. Along with Zig and Sharko, they are mocking nature with every episode. Since when did cats, dogs and cockroaches live like human? Since when did hyenas hunt alone? since when did sharks walk on their tail? At least Tom and Jerry keep their animal origin.
'Upin and Ipin' is a joke, a ridiculous mess from a asylum, combined with lazy and crapy animation and terrible voice acting.

Most current Nicktoons after 2009: Fanboy and Chum Chum (my most HATED cartoon), Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners and a long etcetera. The only current Nicktoons I actually like are The Loud House and The Penguins of Madagascar. I also highly dislike the newer seasons of Spongebob and the Fairly OddParents (long live to seasons 1-5).
Honestly, Nickelodeon has fallen A DAMN LOT in quality.

Moving from Nickelodeon, other cartoons I despise are Uncle Grandpa, Clarence, newer seasons of Ben 10 (I'll be sincere, for me, the ONLY good season of Ben 10 was the first one.) and Teen Titans Go.

Also, there was a time where I used to hate Phineas and Ferb with all my guts (even if I don't hate it anymore, I find it more like 'meh').

I don't exactly hate them, but I don't like adult animations. They're full of prejudice and rape/abuse, mostly treated as comedy. There are probably exceptions, like Moral Orel, Oblongs, Boondocks, and others. But most of them are strangely uncomfortable to watch. I can't explain it. There's something wrong with this kind of work, I just can't explain it.
