Boardsies Decide: Greatest Cartoon Ever

Omackeral · 23-11-2020 5:26pm #1

Saturday morning as a kid, after school on a wet wednesday, watching with your own little brats or laughing your head off at them as an adult just because you can. Most of us have or have had a fondness for animated capers at some stage. My question to you all is, which is the best one ever? Is it from the 80's? 90's? Maybe before or after those periods?! Well let's find out,shall we?!

Purgative · 24-11-2020 4:33pm

Never a fan of either so Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as the lesser evil.

Necro · 24-11-2020 4:34pm

That is an unfortunate draw

Gotta go with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though

Cos they're heroes in a half-shell, and they're green!

(Also the theme tune is awesome)

Tauriel · 24-11-2020 4:34pm

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I can remember watching this.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-11-2020 4:36pm

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ; I was obsessed with the Turtles when I was a kid. Had the action figures, the duvet cover, the t-shirts, and any other TMNT merch I could get. Even now, in my thirties, I still have a Turtles hoodie and a Turtles wallet. Michelangelo was my favourite when I was young, but over the years I've channeled Raphael and grown up to be just as sarcastic and nihilistic as Raph was.

JP Liz V1 · 24-11-2020 4:37pm

Donatella is my favourite turtle so have to be TMNT

Rock77 · 24-11-2020 4:37pm

Such an unfortunate draw... both should be in the shakedown to win this!

I’ll go with He-Man because it was probably the main cartoon from my early childhood

JohnGreenFan · 24-11-2020 4:37pm

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - my nom and one of my favourite shows as a kid! I had so much Turtles lego...

24-11-2020 4:38pm

Would also have to lean Towards the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He-Man never really struck a chord with me at all, but I always remember visiting a cousin that lived in Dublin when I was a child, and he had all the Turtles merchandise. Used to watch the cartoon and skid around the room with the toy van and figures for hours on end. Always enjoyed that cartoon.

Versace???? Lol

Raphael was my favourite

breezy1985 · 24-11-2020 4:42pm

Turtles was one of my big ones as a kid for toys and games all that as well as the show.

He-man I only know as memes

So turtles for me

The Mighty Quinn · 24-11-2020 4:45pm

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

Omackeral · 24-11-2020 4:50pm

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles advance to Round 2

Omackeral · 24-11-2020 4:50pm

Duckman

VS

X-Men

Necro · 24-11-2020 4:52pm

X-Men

Again theme tune awesomeness.

Also never heard of Duckman

Akrasia · 24-11-2020 4:52pm

Xmen
Mainly cause I've never seen Duckman

breezy1985 · 24-11-2020 4:53pm

X-Men was one of the classics of that genre of 90s Saturday morning TV.

I did like Duckman at the time but had forgotten about it years ago so gotta be X-Men

Purgative · 24-11-2020 4:54pm

I obviously spend too much time outdoors - never heard of either.

X-Men

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-11-2020 4:54pm

X-Men ; a staple of my childhood cartoons, I always wanted to be like Gambit

JohnGreenFan · 24-11-2020 4:55pm

X-Men because like others, never heard of Duckman.

google says it was an adult oriented animated series from 1994-1997. I was more a thomas the tank engine fan at the point of my life!

Never heard of X-Men?

Are you sh*tting me?

Even my Granny knows X-Men...

Do you happen to live outside? Under a rock perhaps?

:pac:

Heart broken we never got a Gambit in the movies or maybe it's a blessing.

If this Covid vaccine makes us all mutants I want my super power to be Gambits accent

JP Liz V1 · 24-11-2020 5:19pm

Xmen

SineadSpears · 24-11-2020 5:24pm

Xmen never heard of the other one

Omackeral · 24-11-2020 5:32pm

X-Men advances to Round 2

24-11-2020 5:33pm

X-Men here, too. Never really watched Duckman, might not have been the target audience for that one (although I am familiar with it).

Tauriel · 24-11-2020 5:34pm

Would of voted for X-men as well.

Omackeral · 24-11-2020 5:35pm

Rugrats

VS

Doug

ShaneU · 24-11-2020 5:35pm

This is tough, have to go with Doug

Necro · 24-11-2020 5:35pm

Rugrats - Doug was only alright whereas Rugrats had a host of memorable characters

Tauriel · 24-11-2020 5:36pm

Rugrats

Purgative · 24-11-2020 5:37pm

Rugrats - the humor was bang - or at least I thought that at the time and that Jessica was an evil little witch with poor Chucky bearing the brunt.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-11-2020 5:37pm

Rugrats ; such a clever and original show, Doug was quite generic by contrast

24-11-2020 5:38pm

Very difficult one here, but I think I'd have to nudge in favour of the Rugrats. Both were great shows, and I have similar memories of them both, but Rugrats just marginally takes the win.

SineadSpears · 24-11-2020 5:38pm

Ah Rugrats one of my noms

nothing · 24-11-2020 5:40pm

Rugrats for me, definitely better stories, better characters
