That's only because they were really stupid in the 1890s as well. It's just that back then, people were supposed to take them seriously.
Good times.

this template just makes me realize how awful this page is in every way
they don't even bother to change the motion lines on her waving hands

>I know I'm late, but this shit isn't funny at all. What's the big deal?
the cartoon is funny and always has been
the memespouters who've picked up on it all of sudden aren't funny is what you meant to say. Even so, I'd glad to see a whole bunch of people enjoying a random one-shot cartoon that never went anywhere.

How the fuck can you say it isn't funny? I feel like I pull the Dover Boys up on Youtube at minimum every few months and genuinely laugh my ass off every time I do. It's got nothing to do with "le ironic maymays XD"; it's just a legitimately funny cartoon.
>>83269794
>>83269888
The only part that made me laugh a little bit was the villain, and it was only because of the actor's delivery.
>>83268628
Has anyone made an edit with someone from Deep Space 9?
it invented smear frames

This. Bad guys loudly shouting out their master plan gets me every time.
>>83268975
The joke is that he's screaming that he'll steal it and no one will ever know at the top of his fool lungs.
>>83270997
He reminded me of Lemongrab.
What is it with this face style back then.
>>83272043
>fuckin tumblr, ah tell tho whut
>>83268228
It encapsulates an era to a bystander pretty well and has a lot of personality for it.
>>83270275
Which character should it be though?
>>83272121
I think it's more due to the fact that it mocks a then unthinkable subject of mockery (young boy adventure novels, which at the time was an institution that no one dared mock) and that Dan Backslide is pretty much timeless in his status as a bad guy who's hatred for the Dovers is logical in that the group are a bunch of bullies and prigs who represent repressed conservative "respectable" society.
>>83272519
I meant more for why /co/ likes it. Obviously it had a lot less novelty back then.
>who's hatred for the Dovers is logical in that the group are a bunch of bullies and prigs who represent repressed conservative "respectable" society.
Is that really what we're supposed to get out of it? Dan is not a victim by any means more than his own doing. He outright kidnaps a girl and says he loves herfather's money. I don't really feel like we're supposed to be rooting for him, though some inevitably will.
>>83268228
It's the 1940s making fun of the 1890s.
>A GAY OUTING
I know I'm late, but this stuff is funny as heck!
I'LL STEAL IT
>>83269355
IT BEGINS
I enjoy it for the same reason I enjoy any cartoon of that era.
>>83272043
"Cartoon modern" or "UPA" style has a real hard-on for that face.
They really like simplified geometric shapes.
>>83273584
jesus
>>83273584
Heh.
>>83268975
It's a joke, he's screaming that he will steal it and that "no one will ever know" which is stupid because he's announcing it to everyone
Even my 7 year old nephew got this, come on.
>>83273584
Damn anon, just damn.
>>83268228
COOONNNN-
>>83268975
because it was already his
he's not stealing it
>>83272640
You're not.
>>83271989
I am mad now, anon. I'll scream at you if you say even one more word. If the only way for you to evaluate if a classic cartoon is good is by comparing it to some shit from last 5 years, I hope you seriously stop watching any cartoons forever, since obviously humour is lost on you.
>>83273153
which is?
>>83277062
>If the only way for you to evaluate if a classic cartoon is good is by comparing it to some shit from last 5 years
You don't think you're grasping at straws? All I said was that he reminded me of Lemongrab.
>>83268228
A classic and reminder how innocent my childhood was...

You remember the M.E. Literally maymay like 2, 3 months ago? Same shit.
1 faggots forces it into as many threads as possible. Autists and Redditors pick up on it thinking it's the fresh new meme. Then finally it ends up where it is now with shitposters posting it wherever they can. It has another month before it dies and the cycle repeats itself
>>83278716
>You remember the M.E. Literally maymay like 2, 3 months ago?
huh?
>>83278716
why do you hate fun anon?
A memebout?
ILL STEAL IT
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
>>83268228
It's got an almost modern layer of irony, despite being from the 40's. Todays internet fit around it like a glove.
>>83280660

I know Warner Bros. nearly fired Chuck Jones for making this cartoon, but I always kind of assumed that it was also a sly dig at Disney.
Disney had a huge bone for 1890s shit, and this cartoon pointed out how fucking stupid the typically plot of a 1890s hero/villain story was.
