In your opinion how long do cartoons stay funny? Are the oldest Looney Tunes, Popeye, Disney etc still funny by today's standards? What about in 100 years? What about cartoons today in, say, 50 years?
Outdated

Could you elaborate?

1930s slapstick physical humor (esp. Disney, Popeye) still funny. 1930s verbal humor (esp. Looney Tunes) still kinda funny but a lot of it falls flat.
1930s adventure cartoons (e. g. Mickey Mouse) aren't exactly funny, but they're great as long as they move fast. When they're slow, they're murder.
From about World War II onward the verbal humor in cartoons is still pretty sharp and funny today. Any mature Bugs or Daffy cartoon is usually really good.
1940s and 50s slapstick physical humor (e. g. Tom and Jerry) is good as long as the budget is high, when they start to go Cinemascope and look cheap they lose me.
Old-time "cute" cartoons, usually about animals fighting and making up, exemplified by Pluto and Betty Boop's dog, are really boring.

I feel that Steven Universe & Rick and Morty are two groundbreaking cartoons that will go down in history as two of the greatest animated series on television.

Fuck, her head is horrifying

if it's pop-culture references, it gets unfunny as soon as the reference isn't popular anymore
if it's situational or character humor, it's basically timeless
Popeye's snarky comments and Bluto's grunting and WHYYY'ing never get old
>>83728728
That just means people in the future will have the same lack of taste as you do.

Not necessarily.
The Dover Boys is a classic to this day, and nobody even remembers what it was parodying.

Her head is not more horrifying than animes girls, also she's very cute on this short.
You know which cartoons are going to age like shit? The ones that mistake pop culture references for humor. Go watch any Family Guy episode from before 2012. See how good the references hold up.

Literally almost all episodes of family guy have this kind of shitty stuff.
with celebrities jokes (something not really very famous or important people) and 80's live tv shows references who everyones forgotten.
this shit don't make me laugh and i don't think that make laugh future generations.
