Boardsies Decide: Greatest Cartoon Ever

The Simpsons. In its day it was top of the pile. It was quotable - the number of memes that have come off Homar. There was a time (a long while ago) when people, me included, looked forward to the next episode.

Simpsons.

A large amount of cartoons that aired after 1990 would not exist without the Simpsons and it is the most quotable show in history.

Looney toons is great but it is essentially a cheap gag kids show

Citizenpain · 02-12-2020 08:04PM

This is tough but have to go with simpsons . First few seasons were super

SineadSpears · 02-12-2020 08:05PM

Looney Tunes - because I think you could still get kids to sit & watch old episodes even now. Whereas simpsons might look a bit dated & wouldn't have the same appeal.

JP Liz V1 · 02-12-2020 08:09PM

Looney Tunes - a better array of characters, longevity

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 02-12-2020 08:11PM

Looney Tunes ; consistent quality throughout its run, its timeless, fun for all the family, and over two thirds of The Simpsons' entire run has been piss poor so we shouldn't reward that.

Looney Tunes

Family friendly fun that young and old can enjoy.

Sawduck · 02-12-2020 08:14PM

Looney Tunes
It was more consistent, the Simpsons had more bad episodes

cdeb · 02-12-2020 08:15PM

That swung quickly! :eek:

SineadSpears · 02-12-2020 08:16PM

It's not the warner bro's intro i like, its the Metro Goldwyn with the lion that I was thinking of :rolleyes:

the purple tin · 02-12-2020 08:17PM

Looney Tunes.
Simpsons was must-watch TV back in the day but if I see a modern episode nowadays I just change the channel straight away.
You can't go wrong with LT. I grew up with Daffy and Bugs, Foghorn Leghorn and Marvin the Martian etc

Looney Tunes.

Consistently good. Unlike the Simpsons

Zookey123 · 02-12-2020 08:20PM

Simpsons. The first 10 seasons were the height of television. The jokes were clever and good story lines to boot. Looney Tunes have that nostalgia feel but other than that nothing special really.

breezy1985 · 02-12-2020 08:21PM

Oh look at all the hipsters pretending LT is better. You guys are worse than people who pretend to hate salt & vinegar taytos

davetherave · 02-12-2020 08:23PM

Looney Toons, yes the Simpsons was great growing up and probably did pave the way for so many animated shows that have come on since then, and equally has influenced society in general but given the choice of a random Looney Toons or Simpsons episdode I'd rather go with the Toon Squad

PsychoPete · 02-12-2020 08:25PM

Looney tunes

The Simpsons because they redefined modern animation and having a pile of dross after they jumped the shark dosen't take from them anymore than any other art is effected by the Sick boy decline.

Sick Boy:
It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
What do you mean?

Sick Boy:
Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed...

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Some of his solo stuff's not bad.

Sick Boy:
No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just ****e.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
So who else?

Sick Boy:
Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley...

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make?

Sick Boy:
All I'm trying to do is help you understand that The Name of The Rose is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
What about The Untouchables?

Sick Boy:
I don't rate that at all.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Despite the Academy Award?

Sick Boy:
That means f*** all. The sympathy vote.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Right. So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it?

Sick Boy:
Yeah.

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
That's your theory?

Sick Boy:
Yeah. Beautifully f***ing illustrated.

At it's peak The Simpsons represents the pinnacle of TV comedy. I have to pick it.

Looney Tunes advances to the Final

This is why dying young is important and they should have killed the Simpsons years ago.

It is like watching a beloved relative lingering on and deteriorating as a vegetable on life support.
They should have pulled the plug years ago.

Yes but it shouldn't demish their earlier vibrant life, It will though as demonstrated so adeptly by the wisdom of crowds in this game.

Purgative · 02-12-2020 08:47PM

Tom & Jerry. Its the nutz. Good stories, Good animation. Not entirely pc but ...

cdeb · 02-12-2020 08:47PM

Very similar battle to the first one, but South Park doesn't have the dramatic decline of the Simpsons, and T&J don't have the variety of Looney Tunes, which has a wider character set.

So South Park for me.

South Park

For previous reasons stated

The humour, characters and speed of production in line with current events. Also cos it's my nom

the purple tin · 02-12-2020 08:49PM

Both great but South Park for me. One of the rare cartoon series that actually got better over time.

You will respect my authoritaw :cool:

SineadSpears · 02-12-2020 08:50PM

Tom & Gerry - for the nostalgia & because it didn't even need to be filled with jokes & punchlines. You could have 2 or 3 minutes straight with nothing said, just them chasing into each other smashing the gaf up & it was still so entertaining
