Does fox even care? I thought they were in on it seeing how they've been downing them since 95.
And for the most part Simpsons has artistic license and freedom under fox outside of censorship issues as a pg13 show.

Well the looney tune properties were still outside of this for the most part. WB also was pretty based with their lineup at the time (Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons) which they didn't pull punches and left mostly untouched by news "standards" of the industry.
They were all well animated (not 1970s quality be still better than most), allowed violence, and didn't shrink of their characters for the sake of PC.
It was still a while before that shit hit critical mass.

The only good thing about their web series was that sequence of him getting ejected from every (increasingly rundown) network.
Not /co/ but End Of Evangelion was basically Anno saying F U C K Y O U to otaku culture.
Shinji masturbating to a comatose Asuka was his way of saying "this is literally you. making waifus of animated 14 year olds (particularly Rei) is fucked up".
Everyone wanted an ending that wasn't clip shows, so he turned the world in to Orange juice.
>>77470597
Saya no Uta was supposed to be a criticism to waifu culture. It backfired and the monster really became a waifu.

We don't need the Gentry.
>>77472281
In gravity falls, Alex Hirsch wrote it to originally say "Bottles will be spun", but Standards and Practices denied him to put it in. So he wrote that in as basically a 'fuck you'.
S&P is well renowned for being the 'big fat meanie' of the industry.
rackin frackin varmint
>>77472281
S&P stands for standards and procedures. They're basically the censors from what I gather. The original text on the party poster was "bottles will be spun" but S&P wouldn't allow it because it implied kissing, and as we all know, kissing can lead to sex, and sex is bad. So the show changed it to "not S&P approved" and S&P couldn't find anything wrong with that so, ironically, was forced to approve it.

The dogs in Road Rovers were like, actual pet dogs. So it's more like beastiality if that makes you feel better.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Ralph Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life. The entire character is a cartoonist who hates his job and the network he works for.
>>77473642
>Shepherd selects five different dogs and in his new, secret underground lab, he uses his new transdogmifier on the five, turning them into "Cano-sapiens".

I mean, the kid is SO not dead, so very healthy that he now has the ability to FLY!! How much better can you get than that? They thought we were making fun of them.

Povenmire, Marsh, Hillenbrand, and Olson actually based him on Joe Murray.
>>77470730
The fact that people liked rebuild 2 is why he made them scrap everything and make 3 a huge fucking mess. Anno hates Otaku culture. Evangelion was supposed to show how fucked up it is, but it just created one of the biggest flagships for Otakus ever.
Anno really doesn't like that.
>>77470815
When your subculture is as much based on self-degradation as worship, it's hard to make a satire that they won't unironically cling to anyway.
>>77474370

Also, they were told a planned scene where GIR would be covered in blood wasn't allowed. As an in-joke they inserted bloody GIR into a single frame of the intro sequence of the episode.
It's been called a myth but I was autistic enough to check once and the frame is indeed there.
>>77477832

>LoK's existence puts a hamper on the Avatar universe in general
Why would anyone wanna go back after this? You didn't expand upon a current IP you attempted to kill it. Say what you will about Aang discovering Energy Bending last second and sucking Ozai's Fire Bending away. That's still a win in Aang's book and he was able to do it without breaking a moral code. Why would anyone wanna be at Ozai's level of reasoning?
Then you have Korra who solved every problem with physical violence.
With each new threat becoming progressively more and more ridiculous
There is a reason why people thought Book 2 of LoK jumped the shark...I went into that thinking "lets see where this goes..."

The executives liked Elmyra despite most fans not being big on her. I hope there's some behind-the-scenes documentation to confirm fan theory, but that's the common theory. Similar rumors also say that Fifi got the shaft because fans were being weirdly obsessive over her, so take that as you will.

So did Ed hate Rocko because Rocko was a comic nerd and that reminded him of his bad relationship with his cartoonist son, or was he just afraid Rocko and his wife were keking him?
>>77478041
Well, he also served a little bit of a purpose to a joke. He was the perfect counterpart to Poochie's design and concept. He would have been the perfect voice actor for Poochie. He'd just have to do that thing where he shows up and just acts like himself, and if anything it would have improved what the execs were going for for the character. And then Homer gets cast for the part.
It's actually strange to me that as a kid I got that part of the joke a lot better and hardly noticed the "this character will never come back again because this whole idea is stupid" part.
>>77473799
there was also that episode with Zim's stalker, where they ripped his eyes out, and Jhonen gave him robot eyes to say "see? We made him better!"
>>77479077
Rocko was a spineless weirdo with two annoying as fuck friends. I would hate him if he were my neighbor too
>>77479614

>>77479023
On their defense, they were receiving countless of really creepy fanletters regarding Fifi, almost obsessive. They later made fun of that in one of the segments of the Halloween Special.
Can't really defend Elmyra tho. someone up there liked her too much, give there were even those obvious pilots about her and her family.
>>77479677
Off topic: are there really places where its normal for neighbors to have a lot of interaction with one another? I have no idea who lives in the houses next to mine or what their lives are like other than glancing at how they keep their yard. And it was the same at the other homes I've lived in unless I already knew a neighbor through something else.
I don't know how they did it, but South Park somehow made fun of Comedy Central for being pussies for censoring the speech making fun of Comedy Central for being pussies.

>>77477133
Not really. Ripping Friends is a concept John K had for a long time about "the world's manliest men." It started out with one superhero who's the manliest man, but Fox wanted to tone it down, so it became a team of brothers. (There's some cross-network rule about cartoons for kids only featuring children or child-like adults)
So it became Ripping Friends, and was pure John K trying to be entertaining.
He didn't get the voice actors he wanted and the acting and timing were spotty in places, but it was definitely "played straight" and not a "fuck you" to the network or anyone.
>>77469825
Even married with children made fun of fox.
>>77479866
It used to be pretty much the norm in the US, and still is in a lot of places. There's been a documented trend of less "neighborliness" in the last decade or so, which is often attributed to increasing isolation brought on by technology and less trust in a post-Columbine/9-11 world.
It's apparently more noticeable in the Northeast and West, and quite possibly the norm depending on what country you live in.
>>77480034
"It" being a lack of neighbor interaction. The Southeast and Midwest are pretty damn friendly about that kind of thing still.

>S2- was left weakened and crying until Jinora made her Kaiju Korra
>S3- put up a fight, but was ultimately saved again by Jinora and the airbenders

Not quite a writer and not quite a company, but there's this.
In 2001, Marvel recalled the recently released Universe X: Spidey one-shot. It was strange, as there seemed to be nothing content wise that would cause it to be pulped, and there were no printing errors. Then someone discovered a message in one of the panels.
Spidey was released a few months after Bob Harras was fired as Marvel Editor-in-Chief. Al Milgrom, former longtime Marvel editor and then-current freelance inker, wrote a little hidden message in the book to detail his feelings on the subject.

Its by Don Hertzfield. He does alot of these minimalist cartoons, they always have a message to them. It can be a mixed bag really, but sometimes they're good. The Simpsons couch gag is basically Don taking the piss out of The Simpsons gradually becoming little more than catchphrase spouting cliches that exist only to peddle merchandise, with Homer briefly remembering Marge having emotions and loving him before looking sad at what his family has become.
Like I said, his work can be mixed really, and you have to have a certain tolerance for that sort of thing, but I think the couch gag at least was well done.

Walk of Doom ended with Zim beside a sign saying, "Welcome to Mexico". It was purely a joke on how bad Zims sense of direction is, but Nick thought it had racist overtones.

Because it had no specific references to Mexico, it went through.

It's amazing how creators get away with so much more if they just throw a whole lot of shit at the censors and overwhelm them with a wave of it than if they just upfront show the thing they wanted to do in the first place. It's gotten to be a hollywood tactic by now. For some reason people in the position of moderating these things feel a need to nitpick and tear shit apart even when it's fairly tame, but refuse to do the work of shifting through a whole pile of offensive material and instead just pick out the worst bits and let the other stuff go, even when they'd never let it fly someplace else.

Our neighborhood's actually been getting to be a little more neighborly than it used to be. We take our dog walking every day and we stop to talk to people sometimes. Maybe because we started doing it, but there's been a steady increase in people doing the same thing in the past couple of years, and gradually we've come to know a lot of the people in our neighborhood.

A woman clearly in discomfort and puking during deepthroat is one of my fetishes. Too bad that most of the movies have the ones that are used to it and don't gag and puke much.

Colleen's voiced by Tress Macneille...which leads me to believe she and I could have a ton of fun and fulfill a few of my personal faptasies at the same time if we hung out together for a weekend.
>>77472593
Dude, everybody wants to fuck Colleen. Some of us are hardcore enough to just want to fuck the woman her voice comes out of (guilty).
>>77482803
That entire episode was a great play on sitcoms.
>>77470690
sorry but he's right. This is the first time the ending made sense and I n o longer hate the original Evangellian anymore. You deny it because you're part of the demographic being mocked.
>>77484548
The ending of Evangelion is horse shit because Anno is a hack that admitted to just making shit up because it seemed cool. Also, the actual final episode was done that way because the studio ran out of money.
>>77484610
>Anno just made shit up because it seemed cool.
That was a joke that he made in reference to the Christian symbolism used in the TV series, and has nothing to do with the movie.
>the actual final episode was done that way because the studio ran out of money.
That's a bullshit theory that's been debunked for years. The reason was that they ran out of time to produce the episode and the production schedule was incredibly tight towards the end, apparently being one of the most stressful shows that most people involved with it have ever worked on.
>>77479877
That was literally an eleventh hour decision to censor the speech from Comedy Central.
And I wonder if they'll show a rerun of last week's episode featuring ISIS anytime soon.

Why do I keep seeing this autist's edgy commissions for his idea for a LoK reboot around here? Is it just him posting it or does he actually have fans?

Anon please. The French had it rough as it is.
>>77469825
Tiny Toons did it.
Futurama did it.
ReBoot did it.
It's happened a lot.
>>77480288
I can kinda see it. After a near death experience, the MC finds the world hideous and unlovable, and is instead fanatically drawn to a being from another world. So long as it's for the sake of being with her, he's able to justify any misdeed. When someone from the 'real world' tries to reach out to him, he responds by having her deformed to be the same as his waifu and only then does he find her attractive enough to rape.
it's not 1:1 but I can see the allegory.
>>77479942
they also demanded that every character be drawn on model, which made John K have another one of his breakdowns since that's his fucking kryptonite.
>>77477985
Impressive anon. That is only mildly creepy.

This is off-topic, but what will happen to Calvin and Hobbes' licensing rights after Watterson dies?
Will it just go to his kids?
Does he even fucking have any kids?
There was one Pokemon episode where Victreebell was eating James. James was mumbling. If you played it backwards, you could hear James say "4Kids is the Devil" and other things.
I can't find the clip on youtube though.

I remember seeing that, but can't remember the name of the short.

It wasn't a pre-Internet world, though. The furry fandom on usenet has its roots in the 80's.

okay
>>77469526
That wasn't what happened, though. The animators on the short had a contest to see which of them could do the worst animation on characters intentionally badly animated.

There was also going to be an entire episode that parodied Labyrinth with David Bowie but Disney said no to it because they didn't think kids would get the references.probably the most retarded reason I have ever heard in my life
>>77483232
Another technique is to throw something completely outrageous at them, something you know will be cut, so that when you replace it with the thing you actually wanted to do it doesn't seem as bad.
The best thing about this is that sometimes they let the first thing through.
>>77472350

Wasn't there a spin-the-bottle joke in Wander Over Yonder on the same network, complete with Wander calling Hater a "Sassy Man?"
How did that get through but GF's joke didn't?
>>77489447
Things like this make me think you need some sort of mental handicap to become a censor.
>>77489680
Maybe because they're all adults and the kids of Gravity Falls are kids?
I don't know how the censors think.
What is OP's picture from? I know I recognize it from somewhere but I can't place it and it's driving me nuts.
>>77489901
Executives seems to have no mental skill besides business. And sometimes I question that too and think they are just good at networking.
Just see>>77477832
I can see them coming to the writers saying that the show is popular with teenagers so they need to include a teenager that is cool and intelligent because people are unable to identify themselves with someone who is not from the same age group.
>>77490216
Part of me really wants to know how this sort of mindset comes to pass. Do they just read something somewhere and instantly try to apply it to their own work, or do they just assume the same strategies work in every business? The latter seems pretty likely for those instances where you get executives who jump into totally unrelated industries.
>>77483489
Never saw Super Duper Sumos?
>>77490258
Probably because administration degree doesn't require learning statistics or scientific method.
So they think that if successful shows have X them certainly X is the reason they are successful.

I have really good flicker vision or whatever it's called, and I've been able to spoot stupid subliminal messeges in commercials since I was a kid, nobody beleived me about the girl with the pot plant in the taco bell commercial...
but yeah I remember seeing that
>tldr confirmed by non autist
>>77482071
>>77489680
Sometimes I get the feeling censors pick and choose what to cut based on what kind of mood they're having that day. Even Gravity Falls itself has since done spin the bottle jokes. In the most recent episode, there's a group of demons playing "spin the person" with a human character that's been solidified into a statue. When the spinner lands on the hexagon demon, the succubus next to him swallows him whole. On the same show they wouldn't let the line "bottles will be spun" to be flashed in text for one second.
Pretty much this whole fucking show.

In white neighborhoods its common. When I was little I knew everyone in my neighborhood and everyone was nice and helpful. Then all the old people died off and new families moved in, now I hate them. I hate their children, I hate their fucking faces. I wish they fuckin move. Thankfully 2 of them had to moved cause they couldn't afford their houses and the rest are shut ins.
Old people really make great neighbors.
>>77489447
>The best thing about this is that sometimes they let the first thing through.
I've heard this happens a LOT with Rick and Morty.
>>77490994
But anon, don't you see? You're supposed to be the nice old guy neighbor to those children now. And you're doing a poor job of it.
>>77483811
This was a jab at Nick management that ultimately backfired, but in a good way. Hutch actually breathed some life back into "Rocko" despite Joe Murray never intending it to happen.
>>77469983
They care more about the money they are making than anything else, so if they have to put up with some of their shows making fun of them, if they are doing well, they will do it.
>>77470597
While I don't deny parts of it were an F U to the audience, the ending of the series was never supposed to be a clip show. It was gonna be like EoE but they ran out of money so they did the clip show ending, then made a movie when they got enough money to make it.
But it was possibly more depressing than it would have been because Anno did get a lot of hate mail for the original ending including death threats.
>>77490882
I wouldn't say it was an F U to anyone. It was just an attempt to make a series closer to the original comic run.
And it was still pretty goofy at times. Its definitely a kids show, especially since don't we learn pretty fast that shredder didn't die after being decapitated? Since he was secretly a Krang alien
>>77489680
I think it's because Wander Over Yonder was always on XD, and censorship is a bit more lenient there. Gravity Falls used to be on the regular channel, but was moved to XD later. I don't know if the episode in particular was before or after the transition, but that's my take.
>>77491214
Dat body horror episode, tho.

Really, it's pretty applicable to *any* time you have creators trying to work with management or consumers, be it creative projects, engineering requests, what have you.

>>77493011
Elaborate on this I have never heard this.
>>77480226
I saw it said once on /co/ that the main characters don't really mean much to the plot in LoK. The plot happens to other characters and the main ones are just kind of there when stuff happens.
>>77480750
Yeah, I've lived in my neighborhood for 9 years and I've seen stuff like that just dry up. I don't think we got any trick or treaters this year and I think I saw like maybe 5 in the neighborhood at all.
I love the internet but technology really has stunted everyone socially. It reminds me of that scene from early in Waid's LoSH where two guys are talking to each other over monitors and it keeps zooming out until it reveals they're sitting back to back like two feet apart.

Mabel, as a character, is a walking 80's reference. She is twelve year old two decades out of place and no has any problem with it.
Executives suffer from that expert problem, where expertise in one field is confused for expertise in others. They are business people that think they know about writing, characterization, and comedy. I would love to see a show where they get a bunch of executives to write and direct a show, just so the train wreck that emerges could be used as an example for all future interlopers for how their input is not valuable creatively.

What happened in the 90's that made animation so popular and convinced companies to pump money into it?
Was it all Nicklodeon's doing, with networks just trying to compete?
>>77494670
Steven Spielberg really pushed Warner brothers to make Tiny Toons and later Animaniacs. Disney had their renaissance with feature films and started making strong after school programs. Then Nickelodeon all kinda happened at the same time.
Animation sucked in the late 70's up through most of the 80's, it was a fucking corporate grind toy commercial industry. Even Disney features were really really weak in this period. I honestly think that it was such a long gulch of content that several people in different organizations independently thought about revitalizing cartoons in various ways.
>>77494611
>I would love to see a show where they get a bunch of executives to write and direct a show
This would be amazing. Especially if they weren't allowed to throw it away and put out a new one and instead were forced to stick with it and figure out how to fix it themselves when it was failing. And they just keep losing money as the fixes fail worse.
>it must be because we put princess in the title! change the title to a snappy one word adjective!
>it's not working! maybe it's because of that story about mars. the audience doesn't want mars. cut everything to do with outer space!
>more cultural diversity!
>too much cultural diversity! cut all the minority characters' lines and just put them in the background.
>it's the main characters! the main characters aren't young enough for the demographic to relate to. introduce younger kid characters and focus on them instead!
It would be a mess.
>>77494737
Sound right. It really felt like writers doing it for themselves, rather than having to put out a kids show.
That feeling is sort of coming back.
>>77482803
God damn, this show is so good.

It's called CBS. Except for Chuck Lowe. He can do whatver.
>>77483337
The Fan is based on Dennis Falk, an actual overly-obsessed fan the production team encountered while working on Tiny Toon Adventures. He was a stalker who sent Tress MacNeille disturbing letters which caused her to fear for life and cancel any convention appearances she was planning to make around where he lives.

I think what makes these kind of people seem more creepy is that back in those days, you had to actually put effort into showing how crazy and/or obsesses about something you are.
Like, you know that delitization crap? That's just typical sick shit over the internet. Just imagine someone taking the effort to draw it by hand and MAIL it to you.
I'm not surprised she was afraid, he might have gone Mark David Chapman on her.
