Can anybody explain to me why this cartoon is so fucking underrated? This is really, really good.
>>
/co/, this thread wasn't a suggestion. I'm telling you to give me an answer.
>>
>>83536277
Silent majority of it's viewers are children. In 5 to 10 years time it will be hailed as one of the best cartoons of the time, at least that's my opinion
>>
The art can be unnapealing to some.
Others see it as a cheap copy of at/rg
The child hijinks can be boring.

I love this show but i know some of my friends would not want to watch it and i could understand why
Pretty comfy show
>>
>>83536277
No lore and very few waifus

I really like it but that's why it's never discussed online.
>>
>>83536277
Is the second season as good as the first one? I've heard the creator left.
>>
>>83536277
If a bunch of manchildren on the image board doesn't discuss it, it doesn't meant it's underrated.

>>83536905
>cheap copy of at/rg
In what fucking way?
>>
>>83536277
I hate Clarence but Jeff and Sumo are GOAT characters, plus the kids in the show actually behave like kids which is rare in cartoons
>>
Personally, although I know it would be good, I can't watch it without getting infuriated at myself for not acting like he did as a child, which would've made my childhood awesome. Then I just get frustrated at myself and full of regret.

But yeah, seems like a great show.
>>
>>83536973
It isn't but people who sadly just give it a quick glance will unfortunately categorize as such.
>>
>>83536973
My guess is the "calarts" meme.
>>
>>83536900
Even in that case, it's views are much lower than most of the shows airing on CN, like around the 1M mark. It's probably being overshadowed by the other shows but either way, kids aren't watching as much as they should

I used to think it had a tone problem, but at this point I guess it's part of this show's "thing". I wish they did more proper slice-of-life stuff instead of indulging themselves in lolrandomz so often

>>83536975
Fuck Jeff. It started OK, but now they just go for the headcase material without counterbalancing with any redeeming qualities for his character

Sumo is awesome though; his episodes are where the show really gets it together
>>
Do you think Jeff has ever thought about trying to make Clarence and Sumo be like him? How would he do it?
>>
Could Balance take on Gilben in a psychic battle?
or is Gilben still too strong?
>>
After the creator left so did I. It was not very good after. It changed. It reminded me alot of what I used to do as a kid. And that's what I liked about it.
>>
>>83536277
The mundanity of it all is uninteresting?
>>
>>83536277

Very ugly artstyle and annoying main character. The only other cartoon as unbearable to just look at is Problem Solverz.
>>
>>83536277

>Can anybody explain to me why this cartoon is so fucking underrated?
It isn't aimed at tweens.
>>
>>83536900
This exactly, this is a show that's going to have some sort of cult following or influence. The slice-of-life and surreal elements definitely clash but the show is very unique because of it. Also the writing is often quite subversive, the characters are great, and it has a knack for tapping into primordial childhood memories like nothing else. Also all of my friends love it after I've shown it to them
>>
>>83536935
>>83537977
The second half of the first season is definitely more off-the-wall and weird than the first half but the tone has returned to being more grounded since the second season started. I'd definitely give the newer episodes a try, "Mystery Girl" is super cute and mildly feelsy and "Company Man" is hilarious
>>
2010s Hey Arnold.

Am I fucking right?
>>
>>83536277
Because the creator is an autistic rapist
>>
>>83536912
What about the guy that keeps getting fucked up. Did that count as Lore
>>
>>83538510
>Belson's dad can't even recognize his own son.
>>
>>83538539
I'm pretty sure that was part of the joke there sport.
That being said "Company Man" is the wackiest S2 episode thus far but most of the gags fucking kill me
>>
>>83538520

Clarence (the character) somehow manages to be less annoying than Arnold (the character).
>>
>>83537925
Maybe
>>
>>83538520
Not quite, Clarence very occasionally dives into similar emotional territory but it's a much lighter and funnier show that gets a lot stranger. Also the kids actually talk and act like children, which is not the case for Hey Arnold. It's maybe the closest thing we've got though
>>
>>83536277
Me personally
I hate adventure time, regular show, we bare bears, nuppg, teen titans go especially

But I love clarence
Gumball is alright but clarence is a 10/10
I'm 24
>>
>>83537925
Sumo would immediately get pissed off at Jeff and Clarence's mental capacity simply means he'd fail miserably
>>
>>83538533
Don't believe the womeme lies.
>>
>>83538616
Maybe Jeff could hypnotize them
>>
>>83538608
>I hate adventure time, regular show, we bare bears, nuppg, teen titans go especially
That's fair
>Gumball is alright but clarence is a 10/10
I disagree, it's reversed.

The writers seem to genuinely believe they're writing a show for themselves to enjoy, Spencer Rothbell in particular has cited South Park and The Simpsons as major influences on it and he generally slips some sort of social commentary into his episodes.
Honestly I think Clarence has more to directly appeal to an adult viewer (especially comedy nerds) than pretty much any other show CN's airing at the moment.
>>
>>83538725
Go fuck yourself
I can relate to everything in clarence
I can't relate to gumball

It works well for other shows.
>>
>>83538745
What was his last appearance
>>
>>83538847
I think it was the Renn Fair episode maybe? Either that or the water park one, I forget the order they aired.
>>
>>83538782
I think Clarence has fewer outright dud episodes but when Gumball is really on top of it it's gut-busting and unbelievably original. I think I prefer/am more attached to Clarence for that reason of being relatable though, it's a great show to escape into, the characters and setting is very homey. Gumball I can only handle in small doses because the focus is almost exclusively on gags, great for a laugh but less cozy and engaging
>>
>>83538811
Understandable, it's definitely got a tinge of that Mike Judge satirical worldview. Also if you haven't see the episode "Hurricaine Dillis" and marvel at the voice of Clarence's grandpa
>>
>>83538867
If I'm not mistaken the end of the water park episode showed his back being broken
And in the ren fair episode he his hunched over like an old wizard

It has insane attention to detail that make it pretty nostalgic, shit like the unpopped kernals being in the popcorn or the shitty torn up foam with zipties on the playpen they go to at Rough Riders. At the same time it does have wacky shit that makes it interesting as well.

What's your favorite season of Regular Show?
>>
>>83539823
Yeah, 4chan told me that too. Then I actually watched it and formed my own opinion.
>>
>>83540019
I have watched Regular show just on tv, so I checked the episode list and most of my favorites are on the second season, but it gets some really good ones from time to time, I but at the end is just the same as always isnt it?
>>
>>83539823
It's not that bad. Have you really watched it?
>>
anyone have mega link for Clarence episodes?
>>
>>83537925
No. Jeff likes being superior to his "friends".
>>
>>83538309
>Very ugly artstyle

But it looks exactly like most other CN shows
>>
>>83536277
Amy Gillis is cute, too bad she was only in that single episode.
>>
>>83539823
so is gumball and woy but I never see anyone complaining about that ;)

There's man's world and there's the spirit world, but no one can handle Balance's world.
except ring leaders with whips

I've tried, but I hate Pizza Steve too much. The other characters are okay and the visual stuff is neat.

cute girls
>>
>>83538661
Not the anon you're responding to, but that might work.

>>83541316
Maybe Jeff gets tired of their antics.
>>
>>83537925
sumo would tell him to fuck off, but clarence would take it too far and be a literal copy of jeff except people will like the new him, which would piss jeff off

Not enough tumblr pandering. You got fat/mental handicap acceptance, but that's all I can think of
>>
>>83542715
Jeff has two moms and they showed a gay couple kissing in one episode. Also Clarence's new qt is black.
But this show actually is a really damn good cartoon
>>
>>83542750
please quit falseflagging. it's hard enough fighting for heteronormativity without you trying to glue racism to it as a joke.

>it's not

Are you going to bother elaborating, or not? It's fine if you don't, people who bring up tumblr as a non-sequitor likely haven't even watched what they dismiss.
