>"this episode was bad because it was mean-spirited"
>>77360989
I almost hate the term "mean-spirited" as much as I hate "overrated."
>>77360989
Thanks to internet reviewers spreading bullshit like that,"mean spirited" is ruined for me.
What are examples of this? Scott Tennorman must die is the only one I can think of and that's more of a revenge story.
>>77361700
>What are examples of this?
Autists on this board who hate Teen Titans Go because they self insert as Robin
Autists on this board who hate shows like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, or anything with slapstick
Basically....autists born in the late 90s
>>77361746
>hating slapstick
That's literally hating fun. The fuck is wrong with those people?
>>77361746
Is 1994-96 late or mid 90s?
>>77361781
4 is early, 5 is mid 6 is late.
Jesus how long was your mom's labor if you cant tell what year you were born in in the span of 3 years
>>77361781
Idk man I just assume that must be the age range of the autistic Teen Titans fanboys
>>77361810
The mid part of a decade can't have 1 year, that's silly
>>77361746
>Hating Looney Tunes
That's new
>>77360989
except whenever someone brings up catdog most say they didnt like the show because it was too mean-spirited
>>77361781
>>77361810
>>77361824
94-96 is mid, everything before is early, everything after is late
>>77361856
I agree with that. It's just an unpleasant show.
>>77361841
I've seen a few people here literally rage about Animaniacs too over the please please please get a life foundation bit
Which is hilarious considering the implications of who that would piss off, similar to when the TT fags raged over the "lets get serious" jab
>>77361746
>Autists on this board who hate Teen Titans Go because they self insert as Robin
I don't think so
>>77361979
They do.
>Why do they abuse Robin!
>It's not funny it's just mean
>Why don't they respect Robin? He's the leader
>Remember when Robin was loved by his team?
All things I hear them say, if they're not self insert fags then they're either literally gay or just retarded
>>77360989
I think Family Guy is the best example of mean-spirited there is. Some people use it to be pussies but being mean-spirited is a valid criticism. No one wants to watch a wacky comedy show where the characters are genuinely vicious to one another. It stops being funny and starts being uncomfortable.
>>77360989
Miss Torrenter?
>>77362058
A big part of comedy is addressing/making us laugh at ugly sides of life
Think about pulling pranks...there is no humor if nobody is vicimized, is it funny to put a pillow on somebodies chair when they aren't looking? No, but 9 out of 10 people will laugh if you pull a chair out from underneath somebody before they sit down
>>77361959
I'm in a conundrum cause I LOVED that Animaniaics gag and hate the Let's Get Serious.
>>77362131
but anon, what if put the pillow over the person's face and smother them with pillowy love? how funny is that?
>>77360989
It's to be expected on /co/.
Most of these pussies were bullied and they react negatively whenever something "mean-spirited" happens.
It also explains why the criticism 'The character wasn't likeable' is so consistent on this board.
>>77362026
isn't Robin a dick in most of the episodes?
>>77361841
There are people who hate the cat and mouse type shows, simply because the mouse character is "mean" to the cat.
>>77362484
Jerry is a fucking asshole though.
But I guess that's just what makes it satisfying when Tom beats his smug little face in.
>>77361228
Internet reviewers are mean-spirited.
>>77362344
Not very, but that's because you're using a pillow instead of a pie.
>>77362438
Robin's always been a Dick in TT
They just never say his name so it's easy to forget
>>77362494
Tom is an even bigger asshole for trying to kill Jerry in the first place.
>>77362641
Jerry is on Tom's property.
Are you telling me you just let people come uninvited into your home and steal your food without trying to do anything to stop them? Besides, it's usually his owner telling him to do it anyways.
>>77362641
>Some dick comes into your house and steals your food
>Tom is the asshole for trying to stop him
these mouse-apologists need to get the fuck off of my /co/
>>77362484
I know a lot of people hate Jerry, but not Looney Tunes characters for the same reason
>>77362484
The reason I hate, and I assume why many, hate Jerry has less to do with him being mean (they're both big assholes) and more to do with his smug attitude
Jerry is every bit an asshole as Tom, but Jerry has this smug attitude where he seems to play innocent/cute when he's a huge dick, meanwhile Tom is a dick but he seems to be unapologetic about it, it's the same reason I hate Tweety and like Sylvester
Now, if you apply this to someone like Bugs Bunny we all root for him because the people he dicks around are like Elmer (a retard with a speech impediment) Yosimite (a retarded redneck ginger) and etc, people we generally wanna see fucked with anyway
>>77362484
I hate Stuart Little I know that much, I've always wanted to torture him
>>77362655
>>77362684
Tom doesn't own the house. He's a fucking cat.
>>77362712
Tweety.
>>77363093
In old cartoons cats are primarily owned to be mouse murderers, just like all dogs are meant to be guard dogs
>>77360989
>that episode when kevin knows Kevin Eddy middle-name
>that episode when Rolf give Eddy a cursed fun
EEnE IS mean-spirited but never like that,yeezus.
>The series has "feels" because the characters cry every 2 episodes
>>77362734
>the people he dicks around are like Elmer (a retard with a speech impediment) Yosimite (a retarded redneck ginger) and etc, people we generally wanna see fucked with anyway
No, it's because those people start the fights.
>>77363106
Sounds like he's a shitty mouser who deserves to be tormented.
>>77360989
It's why I couldn't get into Gravity Falls.
>>77361856
There's a difference between saying something is bad and saying they didn't like it. The latter is personal taste, the former is an objective judgment.
>>77364872
Faggot.
>>77362058
>No one wants to watch a wacky comedy show where the characters are genuinely vicious to one another.
You know that's wrong, right?
>>77362131
>people will laugh if you pull a chair out from underneath somebody
Yeah but if you did it to a pregnant woman and she hit the ground so hard she miscarried, would it still be funny? What if you kicked her in the head afterwards? Then snatched her wallet and used her money to pay a hobo to shit in her sink? There's a point where humor gets too dark, stops being whimsical and playful and just feels fucked up.
>That episode was good because it was dark and serious.
>>77367035
It's understood that where this particular point is is subjective, though, right?
>>77362058
Love the vicious humor of family guy. Fuck off
>>77362131
>No, but 9 out of 10 people will laugh if you pull a chair out from underneath somebody before they sit down
Maybe if you hang around mental 12 year old.
>>77362131
Hey guys! Welcome to Prank Bros! Today we're going to be calling people niggers IN THE HOOD!
>>77369047
GONE SEXUAL
>>77360989
>That episode was good because it had a cute girl being an asshole
you morons have no idea what mean spirited actually means.
it DOES NOT mean looney tunes/mickeymouse/mgm/fleisher or anything like or of the sort.
it means shit that is actually unpleasant to watch. shit that makes you feel uncomfortable when its trying to do something else.
When you push too hard there's a push-back. If you have a problem with people mistaking tension for cruelness, then maybe you shouldn't have backed a show whose two main characters primary source of humor comes from shouting at the top of their lungs derogatorily for 10 seconds straight like a Call of Duty voice chatter who just got a double kill.
>>77369126
Mean spirited in this context can have more than one meaning. Nobody is a moron except for people who think they are some kind of perfect human dictionary.
>>77367076
Obviously but I think there is a line, even if it is rather blurry of 'this horrible shit happens but you can laugh because of schadenfreude' and 'this is genuinely sadistic and rather hard to find humor in' I think a shortcut is to simply make everyone severely flawed enough that it sets a tone that everyone is fair game and the innocents in the crossfire are disposable as gags.
I think Moral Orel did a good job of terrible shit happening and it being humorous because it was a coin toss if they would actually dwell on it, the fact Moral 'won' most times and ended up happy did help.
>>77369151
half the thread is talking about looney tunes you retard
>>77363508
Rolf didn't give Eddy the phone, Eddy wanted it for his bedroom
>>77360989Mr Enterplease
>>77369202
I count one person talking about Loony Tunes and the rest talking about Tom and Jerry, there are literally more posts about what constitutes the middle, end and beginning of a decade than Loony Tunes.
>>77369353
i literally mentioned mgm in my fucking post...
>>77367126
Here's your reply.
>>77369426
I agree with your stance but I am disputing half the thread is about Loony Toons because I am a pedantic faggot.
>>77369571
you got that right fuck boy
>>77361746
>complaining about "90s kids"
underaged confirmed
also i haven't once seen people on here complain about classic looney tunes.
>>77367126
>>77360989
ok.
>>77362058
There's a world of difference between a shitty depiction of domestic violence that tries to be realistic, and a talking cat getting hit with a shovel so hard, his head looks like a shovel for a brief moment, and then morphs back to normal. The difference being, one is using a real fucking problem as a source of shock humour, while failing to handle it properly, and the other is obviously a harmless fun.
>>77362712
Because WB had a general rule that the instigator should always lose. That's why Bugs only attacks in retaliation and why the RoadRunner never does anything but flee.
>>77361959
I fucking hate the Animaniacs but love Teen Titans Go. Those Warner niggers were too Damn annoying for me.
I'm pretty sure it's a general rule of thumb that karmic suffering is more funny than random suffering.
>>77363508
Both episodes were funny, though.
>>77371762
>he thinks people young enough to have grown up with Teen Titans are 90s kids
Underaged actually confirmed...just wow, you're stupid
