So because it's December, it's time for filler! Tonight at 8/7c on Fox, there's a televised listicle, TV’s Funniest Animated Stars: A Paley Center For Media Special!
>Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Stewie Griffin, Donald Duck, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Scooby-Doo among iconic characters honored during the two-hour special.
>Who is the #1 Toon? Tune-in to the Paley Center’s special and watch the countdown to find out!
>TV’S FUNNIEST ANIMATED STARS: A PALEY CENTER FOR MEDIA SPECIAL will honor the 40 most iconic, beloved and groundbreaking animated stars who have influenced generations of fans, created new dictionary entries (D’oh!), broken down barriers with irreverent social commentary and, most importantly, made us laugh.
>The two-hour special will include a countdown of animated stars featuring exclusive interviews with the creators who conceived the characters and the actors who brought them to life for animation fans worldwide. In addition, the special will feature interviews with Pamela Adlon (voice of Bobby Hill), Tony Anselmo (voice of Donald Duck), Todd Barbee (voice of Charlie Brown), H.

Bump, this might be interesting to someone, and it's not like there's anything new on. (note: I only follow Cartoon Network closely)
>>78008962
>MacFarlane and Castellaneta not listed
Figures. If it isn't an episode to pay them half a million, why bother
Should be good.
It's on now~~
Came to make this thread.
I love these kinds of things.
Bobby Hill #40, I wonder what number Hank will be.
40. Bobby Hill
39. Rick and Morty
this is two hours long for some reason
>>78012042
They seem to be giving each character about 4 minutes each
>Dexter's Laboratory
Oh, that's pretty nea-
>all the clips are from post-Tartakovsky episodes
Just fuck my shit up.
Damn I thought /co/ would be all over this
37. Ren and Stimpy
>>78012150
this is totally lame
>>78012172
>this is totally lame
Why?
It seems like what you'd expect from a list thing
Number one is SpongeBob calling it screencap it
>>78012198
Nah it's Mickyor Bugs
36. Chef
35. Cleveland Brown
>>78012223
Those old grandpa toons? Nah, it's definitely Spongebob
>Cleveland
List officially shit
34. Linda Belcher
33. Randy Marsh
32. Angelica
I miss The Looney Tunes Show
31. Lola Bunny
????
I guess it's an internet poll result.
>Marge Simpson and Brian Griffin
>in the running for #1
No, fuck you.
30. Mr. Burns
>>78012546
I almost stopped watching at this.
Lola fucking Bunny? Jesus Christ.
You'd think /co/ would be all over this.
Why is no one watching?
29. Yogi Bear
28. Stan Smith
I bet you Stewie/Brian is at the top.
>talking about Family Guy
>has Family Guy merchandise behind them
>talking about Cleveland Show
>has Cleveland merchandise behind them
>talking about American Dad
>has Family Guy merchandise behind them
It never occurred to me how little (any?) AD merchandise there is until now.
>Check out these gadgets the Jetsons used in the 1960's!
>shows clips from the 1980's revival
>>78012726
They were talking about the Looney Tunes Show version of Lola.
27. George Jetson
26. Phineas and Ferb
>>78012822
also the sound quality is so terrible
>Phineas & Ferb
Why not Doofenshmirtz?
>children are watching this
>>78012822
>They were talking about the Looney Tunes Show version of Lola.
Right. Still garbage.
>>78012822
>They were talking about the Looney Tunes Show version of Lola.
Put her around the sixties spot.
#1 is Orel Puppington. Screencap this.
>>78012973
It's most likely gonna be Homer, Peter or Spongebob desu.
25. Hank Hill
>multiple Fox entries
24. Daria
>>78013068
>25. Hank Hill
fucking OUTRAGE
shitting blood rn
>>78013129
Tbh Hank is not actually that funny.
This is about the funniest cartoon characters.
23. Roger Smith
22. Tina Belcher
this is an ad for the Fox animation bloc
Should've limited the choice to only one character from each show.
>yfw peggy hill gets #1
>>78013234
HO YEAH
21. Sterling Archer
goddamn they couldn't get better quality clips?
20. Beavis and Butt-Head
>>78013129
Dale will most likely be top 10.
Sadly, Peter will be too. Number one my bet is either Mickey, Spongebob or Daffy.
>Marge
>funny
No.
>Marge
>anywhere on this list
Fuck you.
What did they say about Dexter?
19. Marge Simpson
18. Bender
>"Futur-AMMA"
What the fuck
Burns was too low, Marge is too high.
Yup.
>>78013491
>Bender
>That low
>coming up next, Lisa Simpson
HOW IS SHE ANYWHERE ON THIS LIST
LITERALLY HOW
>>78013440
I'm betting on either Homer, Peter, Spongebob or Bugs Bunny as #1.
it's like there's three cartoons and they're all on Fox
>>78013561
>Not expecting literally every simpson to be on here
Okay, I hate Marge, but there is no fucking way that Lois Griffin is a better ANYTHING than her.
>>78013579
Well that was a given, but I would've expected her at the start of the list, not within the top 20.
>Lisa
>Cleveland
>Marge
>Lois
>probably Stewie and Brian in the top 10
So this is just a shameless advertisement for Fox's animated shows right?
>>78013563
>There's a 50/50 chance it'll be FOX shilling
I want to say I'd be surprised but I wouldn't.
But I guess to be fair if we pretend The Simpsons got cancelled after season 9 then Homer being number one would be understandable.
>>78013628
or only plebs (non-viewers of Cartoon Network) voted in the online poll.
>>78013628
Well Duh, did you honestly expect different?
>>78013628
>So this is just a shameless advertisement for Fox's animated shows right?
Pretty much.
17. Lois Griffin
16. Lisa Simpson
>no adult swim characters when characters like orel, the monarch, space ghost, henchman 21, carl brutanalanadilewski, clay, etc are all better written and acted then this normie casual shit
>>78013628
That's what I thought it was from the commercials.
>Lisa's VA mentions "bumpers"
>my local affiliate immediately cuts over to a bumper for the local news, then cut back
Someone at the station was having a giggle
>>78013753
Normal people have never heard of them.
>>78013753
>Advertising your competitors
Bugs, Daffy and Micky appearing on top ten is less of a choice and more of "If we don't they'll catch on". Just be glad they give Rick an Mort a mention.
why are they using TLTS clips?
15. Daffy Duck
Heh, this version of Daffy is the best.
>>78013753
Oh I forgot, it gets worse: the two adult swim characters actually on the list are fucking goddamn Rick and morty, the most reddit casual tier of adult swim characters
>using The Looney Tunes Show clips
Stop doing this.
Surprised they're using Looney tunes show for clips
>affiliate keeps cutting to a bumper of the local news, then a Star Wars promo
It was funny the first time, now it's annoying
>>78013841
Shut up Boco.But you are right, LTS Daffy is GOAT.
14. Donald Duck
>>78013796
Fuck off Boco, no one cares how right you are
Nothing to see here, just a hastily throw-together FOX special made specifically to fill a time slot while production crews are on vacation.
>>78013834
>>78013856
>>78013861
I thought maybe they were just focusing on recent shows but since George Jetson got a spot apparently not.
Looney Tunes Show Daffy was p fucking great though.
>>78013834
Probably could only get the rights to them, same with the Dexter's Lab clips.
>>78013886
>>78013949
Yelling to a school bus: "Hey lady, how many kids do ya have to have before ya consider it a family?!? Its irresponsible!"
>Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin will be near the top
>Brian Griffin will be somewhere in the top 10
>Felix, Bimbo, and Popeye won't even be mentioned
>Dan will never be mentioned in anything
>>78008962
Okay
So it's just going to be old cartoons and Fox cartoons?
>>78013975
this is a list based on an online poll that apparently didn't circulate among circles with serious animation fans.
>>78014026
it didn't even circulate outside of Fox Studios, apparently
>Charlie Brown
>funny
>>78014061
Charlie Brown's not funny, he's just fucking depressing
13. Charlie Brown
12. Fred Flintstone
>Fred Flintstone
>Funny
>>78014091
Exactly.
He has no business being in this list.
What a stupid fucking list.
Aw come on, Cartman should be higher than this...
we should make our own list
I forgot how rough old south park was
>>78014146
That sounds fun.
>>78014061
>>78014091
>People think Charlie Brown as a character is supposed to be funny
>>78014171
For once, I agree with Boco
11. Cartman
10. SpongeBob
Is Seasons 1-3 Spongebob better than golden age Simpsons or Family Guy in terms of comedy?
>>78014226
Family Guy, yes
Simpsons, debatable
>>78014226
Equal to golden age Simpsons, slightly better than golden age Family Guy.
Ya know, Bugs better be number one. Him or Homer.
>>78014226
better than Family Guy but not Simpsons
This list sucks, but at least Daria made it on.
>>78014226
better than Family Guy about equal to Simpsons
>>78013975
I'm being realistic with this list, and even being realistic it will be insane that Popeye isn't on here.
On a less realistic note, Master Shake and Johnny Bravo really belong on the list.
>>78014226
Golden Age Simposn>Golden Age Spongebob>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Family Guy
>>78014146
>>78014171
>>78014185
Fourthing this. After the dust settles, let's make a thread for it.
This looks more like a "most well known cartoon characters" than a "funniest animated characters" list.
You just know it was made by a bunch of normies who don't know shit about cartoons other then the popular ones/ones from their childhood.
>Peter really loves his family and friends
He does?
>9. Peter Griffin
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYHoly shit, he wasn't #1. What is this madness?
>>78014226
Yes. Mostly because it doesn't care about plot or world building or emotional moments like Simpsons did, it just packed in as many jokes as possible in one episode
>>78014345
Not since thee revival
9. Peter Griffin
8. Snoopy
>Brian better than Snoopy
BULL
SHIT.
>>78014226
Golden age Spongebob is about equal to golden age Simpsons, albeit golden age Simpsons lasted longer, which gives it a slight edge in my mind. It's leagues ahead of Family Guy though.
The only other televised comedy-oriented cartoon series that competes in my mind is Ed Edd n Eddy.
7. Brian Griffin
(Jesus imaginary Christ)
>Brian better Snoopy
>7. Brian Griffin
Brian is the best cartoon dog :^)
My brother was genuinely pissed he beat Snoopy and said we fail as society.
Where's muh Bojack?
>>78014481
Tell him he's right.
>>78014481
He's not wrong.
6. Bart Simpson
>The Critic
seriously? I liked the show but come on. How do Fox's illiterate viewers even know that?
>The Critic
Hey, maybe this won't be so bad!
>>78014481
To be fair, while I don't agree on Brian being that high, I've never found Snoopy to be that funny.
He's great but I dunnow just not my thing.
>The Critic over Peter Griffin
okay you got your redemption, fox
>>78014598
It Stinks! It Stinks! It Stinks!
>>78014602
Come on Boco, don't set yourself up for disappointment.
>>78014663
ACHUM!
>Scooby-Doo is gonna be on the Top 10
Horrible list.
Bugs, Mickey, Scooby, Homer, Stewie
How does Brian rank ahead of Peter?
>>78014667
Hey, I'm not expecting him to be number one, but just being on the list (and the top 10 at that!) is a damn pleasant surprise.
That show is a forgotten gem.
Are they gonna put Mickey somewhere respectable?
>>78014714
Feel like Groening may have paid them off.
Not that he doesn't deserve a spot.
WHO WILL BE THE MOST CONTRIVED #1?
5. Mickey Mouse
>Mystery Incorporated clips
You're okay FOX.
>>78014731
Groening had nothing to do with The Critic. He even seemed to dislike it.
Boooo, Bugs should be number one.
4: scooby doo
3: bugs bunny
4. Scooby-Doo
3. Bugs Bunny
I think it's safe to say Homer will be #1.
>Mickey Mouse 5
>Bugs 3
Just Fox my shit up!
>almost all the Bugs Bunny clips are from The Looney Tunes Show
nice
>>78014818
Nope, #2.
>#2 is Homer Simpson
Oh shit, #1 could be literally anyone now
Number 2?
Who the fuck is number 1?
>>78014747
>5. Mickey Mouse
Fucking hell
>>78014858
Stewie Griffin, probably
>>78014858
Stewie.
God dammit
>>78008962
>mfw I wanted to watch this but I was at my shitty job
>mfw I see Daria on TV and I want to stop working
#1 is Stewie
>>78014881
>>78014886
Oh, if that who it is, I am gonna...
Be very upset.
Is Stewie honestly the cartoon character whose gotten the most laughs out of you your entire lifetime?
1. is fucking Stewie isn't it?
>>78014936
The real crime is that Dale wasn't anywhere on the list.
cant wait to pirate this shit
>>78013796
It's not a list of most iconic characters.
It should be about cartoon characters who are actually funny, regardless of how many people know them.
Yup. Its Stewie.
Feh, I could pull a better list than this outta my ass.
FUCK THIS GAY EARTH
STEWIE
FUCK
>American Dad will never be on FOX again
WHAT
FUCKING STEWIE
plebs
plebs everywhere
>>78014881
>>78014886
>>78014900
Called it right.
Stewie is funny, but not THAT funny.
>A special airing on Fox nominates Stewie as TV's funniest animated character
TIME TO RIOT.
Yeah, hang that lampshade, Seth.
Even Seth is calling it bullshit!
ROGGLED
At least Seth said it
>Seth taking the piss out of Fox
you really gotta love that smug bastard
>animated the scene
FUCKING RIGGED
I'm not gonna lie here, I know people dislike that Stewies just gay jokes now, but I honestly hated him more when he only had the evil genius shtick. It was so fucking boring.
WOAH SETH IS SO SHOCKED GUYS. WHO COULD HAVE SEEN FOX MAKING A FAMILY GUY #1
I wouldn't mind seeing this concept done again with people behind it who don't suck ass.
At least Seth was funny about it
>>78015093
>animated
That's pretty generous.
God
god
god
tfw I have a ponytail
>>78015099
>I wouldn't mind seeing this concept done again
Why? All awards and countdown shows are retarded in the first place.
>>78015099
Stewie was never good
Which is weird because he's the most tolerable out of the characters now
Hmm...not the best way to waste two hours.
>>78015118
Maybe if people who, ya know, watch more than three channels were able to vote we'd get a better list.
>>78015099
>but I honestly hated him more when he only had the evil genius shtick. It was so fucking boring.
Fuck you. It was better than making him a token faggot.
>>78015099
>I wouldn't mind seeing this concept done again with people behind it who don't suck ass.
It still disappoints me that Cartoon Network has never done an award show dedicated to animation.
Cause, you know, fuck that. We can do an awards show for SPORTS instead. THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
>>78015099
>Evil genius is somehow more boring than "lol I'm gay, look how much of a fruit pixie I am"
But to be fair, FG writers are shit no matter the material given to them
>>78013406
yeah it was weird seeing archer show up and 70% of it was just him berating woodhouse, of ALL the things archer does on a regular basis they choose that, and minimum spy stuff
>People expected FOX to be impartial and fair
I understand why you upset /co/ but you must always remember; It's always about the money, no the quality.
>>78015172
They used to do really fake, half-assed awards shows sometimes.
And crap like "Cartoon's Greatest Bloopers". Still cringe thinking of that one.
>>78015146
Any list at all is terrible. Why do I care about who everybody else's top 40 cartoon characters are when it's subjective and I can form my own opinion. What does it matter if a bunch of normies think Stewie is the best or if a bunch of pretentious fags think some faggot from Fleischer is the best. They both mean objectively nothing.
>No Aku
>No Professor Farnworth
>No Carl Brutananadilewski
>No Ed
>No Grim
>No Mojojojo
>No Eustace Bagge
>No Monarch
>>78015172
Because Nick already has one and it's just as biased and full of shilling as this FOX list.
>>78015300
They even had some Animaniacs clip, but no one from Animaniacs nominated.
>>78015172
CN did do an awards show-ish thing some time ago.
I don't remember if it was a legitimate one or a parody though
>>78015315
to be fair a /co/ version would just be heavily weighted towards CN.
>>78015355
The difference is that /co/ doesn't work for CN
r8 the special?I only caught the second hour
>>78015377
Lisa/10
>>78015281
You have a point, but it's more about what's in the public consciousness than anything else. It's partly what keeps zombies like the Simpsons and Family Guy in cashcow status.
>>78015377
Fox promotion/10
post yfw stewie won
>>78015355
Well yes but it's less due to shilling and more due to the fact that CN has more cartoons to offer. Disney/Nick is mostly teen sitcoms.
Remember that Animal Planet 101 Greatest Animal Stars special?
Remember howTotosomehow beat Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny?
>>78015418
>>78015407
you're right, this is a dark mirror into the heart of the average pleb.
>>78015407
Also it can be fun to see these when they're actually done right. Especially when you've got people from the industry commenting on it too.
>>78015418
>>78015418
I saw it coming but it was still shameful.
>>78015418
>>78015418
>>78015407
I understand the point of award shows I was just explaining to Boco why I think they're stupid as far as anybody actually consuming them whether or not they have the opinions of the general public behind them or a bunch of 50 year old men with tacky suits. I AM interested in seeing how many people actually viewed this award show though.
>>78015418
>>78015418
>>78015418
but I was a fool, I thought it'd be about cartoon history
>>78015432
that makes perfect sense, wouldn't vouch for it, but I can see
>>78015418
Actually didnt watch, but is Lisa on the list? Was Lisa fucking Simpson seriously on the list?
>>78015953
plebs chose
>>78008962
>TV’S FUNNIEST ANIMATED STARS
>Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Stewie Griffin, Donald Duck, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Scooby-Doo among iconic characters honored during the two-hour special.
None of those characters are even that funny or have aged very well. Well maybe bugs bunny in the original LT and SP from seasons 1-3, otherwise that list is just pandering to the biggest cash cow shows in existence.
>>78016039
>Mickey
>Donald
>Not funny
>Not aged well
Well fuck you too
>Bob's Burgers higher than Rick and Morty
>Family Guy higher than Looney Tunes
Who the fuck decided this shit
>>78016039
Don't forget that Marge Simpson and Charlie Brown were on this list.
>>78008962
So because this list is utter shit, what do you guys think is the funniest cartoon character?
I'll vote for pic related any day of the week.
>>78008962
This sounds interesting.
>checks Kickass Torrents
Fuck, no one bothered recording it.
>>78016082
>Who the fuck decided this shit
A bunch of normies, clearly.
>>78016101
Bugs or Homer. Maaaaaybe Daffy.
>>78016077
Donald and Mickey aren't bad characters I just don't find them funny. Entertaining comes to mind, but not humorous.
>>78016101
No contest. Maybe Daffy but only on his A game, otherwise it's Dale all the way.
>>78016082
Reddit and Morty shouldn't have been anywhere close to the list. Captain Murphy should have been on there.
>>78016101
Some Looney Tune.
Foghorn Leghorn has always made me laugh. So does Porky Pig.
>>78015418
>>78016101
only thing I can think of is either daffy or captain murphy
>>78016082
rick and morty is sometimes funny. bobs burgers is funny no matter what. i like rick and morty more but its just not too funny.
>>78016082
I could understand if someone would chose BB over R&M. They're both great shows.
But still Family Guy is horse shit.
So, to summarize the whole list:
40. Bobby Hill
39. Rick and Morty
38. Dexter's Laboratory
37. Ren and Stimpy
36. Chef (South Park)
35. Cleveland Brown
34. Linda Belcher
33. Randy Marsh
32. Angelica (Rugrats)
31. Lola Bunny
30. Mr. Burns (Simpsons)
29. Yogi Bear
28. Stan Smith
27. George Jetson
26. Phineas and Ferb
25. Hank Hill
24. Daria
23. Roger Smith
22. Tina Belcher
21. Sterling Archer
20. Beavis and Butt-Head
19. Marge Simpson
18. Bender
17. Lois Griffin
16. Lisa Simpson
15. Daffy Duck
14. Donald Duck
13. Charlie Brown
12. Fred Flintsone
11. Eric Cartman
10. SpongeBob SquarePants
09. Peter Griffin
08. Snoopy
07. Brian Griffin
06. Bart Simpson
05½. Jay Sherman?
05. Mickey Mouse
04. Scooby-Doo
03. Bugs Bunny
02. Homer Simpson
01. Stewie Griffin
Let me know if I got it wrong; I just gleaned it all from this thread and what people were posting.
>>78016101
As far as reoccurring characters go Bugs, Daffy, Krusty, Ice King, Meat Safe Murderer, Clamps, Farnsworth, and pick however else many characters you need from off the Venture Brothers.
>>78016101
>>78016101
Aku, Ed, Farnsworth, or a toss-up between Dr. Orpheus and the Monarch
>>78016311
>Fox special places two of its show headliners as the top two.
Wow. It's fucking nothing.
>>78016317
Forgot >>78016210.
>>78012233
Like Chef from south park? I never thought he was very funny at all. Of course I don't like the older episodes as much as the post 4th grade ones either.
So /co/, would you allow any anime characters onto the list?
>>78016418
I think he's funny enough, but I wouldn't choose him over a lot of other characters like Butters, Tweak, or Jimmy.
>>78016101
Carl
>>78016419
Sure, why not.
BoBoBo, maybe. Or Shin Chan.
>>78016247
>>78016294
They are both good, but I feel like R&M just has a fresh concept and a good setup for humor that more-often-than-not gets executed pretty well. Bob's is nice for what it is, but it's just another animated sitcom that happens to be better quality than the competition (i.e. McFarlane.)
That being said, the biggest bullshit on this list is undeniably the fact that EEnE isn't present anywhere. Definitely deserves to replace one of the multiple spots that went to Simpsons/Family Guy.
>>78016419
Not much of an anime guy so I wouldn't know that many but I don't see why not. Only comedic anime I've seen is Space Dandy and Bobobo though.
>>78016419The only comedy anime character that's really made me lose it is from his own accord is Gintoki. Otherwise, it's a collaborative effort between the cast. For example, Cromartie has some standouts, but it's the dynamic that really counts there.There are a few characters from non-comedies that hit me in a certain way too, but I doubt that they'd make a top funniest list.
>>78016535
>Definitely deserves to replace one of the multiple spots that went to Simpsons/Family Guy.
No, no it doesn't.
>>78016578
Shut the fuck up, Boco. Pretty please.
>>78016653
a broken clock is right twice a day. Boco is right for once.
Do normies actually prefer Stewie and Brian over Peter? Does anyone?
>>78016833
IMO it's:
Stewie > Peter >>>> Brian
Brian is not actually funny.
How the hell are the Aqua Teens and Carl nowhere on this list
>>78016866
>DUDE WEED LMAO: THE CARTOON
>good
>>78016894
Nigga was weed even mentioned on aqua Teen ever?
>>78016916
It's a stoner "lol violence and being a idiot so rad show.
>>78016935
Not to mention hilarious and insanely quotable
>>78017048
>hilarious
No.
>quotable
LOLSORANDUMB POTTY WORDS
>>78016894
I'm not even a big fan of ATHF but I still gotta admit that Carl is at least a top-tier character
>>78016419Don Patch, Osaka, would Meowth count?
