Also Teen Titans Go! is another one of the shows I used to like but now can't stand anymore. You want to know why? Well, let me explain it in the words of that incredibly annoying show:

"Waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles,".

Honestly I gave it a fair chance when it first premiered and already decided it wasn’t for me.

I’m just disgusted that it’s now become a cash cow for Cartoon Network.

Side note, but on the other hand, that show has really proven just how immature hardcore 90’s kids are: complaining it “ruined” their childhood, sending out death threats to everyone involved (including the ******* voice actors who have no control on how it works :rolleyes:), stupid online petitions, etc.

Oh this is easy, The Big Bang Theory. My mother watches it every night and thinks it’s “well-written.” She does not have good taste in comedy.

The only thing about TTG that @LittleJerry92 and I can agree on is . . . that "Legs" episode should have been done during the original TT series, when Raven really had some legs to speak of. :stick_out_tongue:

Yeah. A bunch of nerds who happen to be sexually repressed deviants. That's comedy.

This is more of the fanbase but, Loud House has gotten really ridiculous with their fans either overpraising or overhating an episode

Any modern day Nickelodeon or Disney sitcom.

This is my reaction when I watch those shows:


If that trend of crappy tween sitcoms is still going on when I someday have children of my own, I will let them watch the ones that I grew up on such as Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, The Suite Life of Zach & Cody, Jessie, etc.

The reason most parents don't let their kids watch certain shows is because of inappropriate content. The reason that I wouldn't want my children watching new Disney and Nickelodeon sitcoms if I was a parent is because I don't want to expose MYSELF to that unfunny garbage. I'm not worried about the kids, I'm worried about those crazy shows driving me completely insane.

Despite my query on Robot Chicken and how it relies far too much on shock value earlier, believe it or not most adult cartoons don't bother me at all. Heck, I'm even a HUGE Drawn Together fan for crying out loud.

There is however one other adult cartoon aside from Robot Chicken that has always gotten under my skin:Brickleberry. All of the characters weren't even original ideas but rather predictable stereotypes (the greedy Jewish guy, the stereotypical Asian who says "herro" instead of "hello" and "preeze" instead of "please", the typical 1950s housewife woman character, the Italian guy who acts like Al Capone, etc.). In addition to the ridiculous characters, the show also featured awkward sexual scenes and even nudity (the one episode I even bothered to watch showed the main bear character with a human scrotum getting sewn to his head completely uncensored), overuse of profanity to the point of sheer annoyance, and pointless jokes about things like cancer, sexual assault, domestic violence, Parkinson's disease, suicide, The Holocaust, and other inherently unfunny things that didn't even attempt to be clever and were only there to shock the viewers into paying attention.

It was really just a ripoff of Family Guy with all the creativity taken out of it. Think about it:It features a talking animal who acts like a person and is loaded with shock value and far too many pop culture/celebrity jokes. Yup, sounds like whoever created that show was trying to be "the next Seth MacFarlane" but ultimately failed because they had only seen one of the worst Family Guy episodes and tried to copy solely off of that.

Family Guy seasons 12 and 13. Man, that was a dark era for an otherwise good show.

The fact that we got so many of the show's most infamous episodes such as "Brian's a Bad Father", "Herpe, the Love Sore", "Fresh Heir", "The 2,000 Year Old Virgin", "Life of Brian", "Christmas Guy", and "Quagmire's Mom" without the short span of TWO seasons really speaks for how awful the show had become at that point.

I recently re-discovered the DVDs of seasons 12 and 13 I had stored away, which when I was a teenager were my all-time favorite Family Guy seasons. So I decided to re-watch both of them for nostalgia purpose, having mainly stuck to the older seasons during recent Family Guy viewings. Holy crap, I totally forgot how much gory violence, suicide references, masturbation jokes, racism, sexism, F-bombs, disgusting vomit scenes, and references to people having sex with animals are in those two seasons. I almost felt physically sick watching some of the harsher scenes (Peter killing a beached whale with a forklift, showing it's blood and entrails being graphically displayed on screen comes to mind as a major example of this).

While the newer episodes have certainly gotten better and Family Guy remains a favorite cartoon of mine to this day, I just can't deny that the show hit an all-time low for a little while there and I'm a bit surprised that they ever got their groove back after two seasons of pure unadulterated shock "comedy" that would feel more at home in a horror cartoon than an animated sitcom.

That season had one of my least favorite episodes in the history of all animation, PERIOD in it. It was called "Grimm Job" and it was easily one of the darkest and most sickening cartoons that I've ever laid my eyes upon. It was done in the style of an extremely dark gothic fairy tale, with stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella being horrifyingly corrupted. The two most cringeworthy scenes were The Big Bad Wolf being violently sliced in half by the wood cutter (they showed hyper-realistic drawings of his intestines, blood, liver, bones, brains, and other guts without any attempt to make it look cartoon-ish or unrealistic) and Meg randomly hanging herself at the end of the episode with no reason as to why that even happened.

Another extremely disturbing theme I noticed being utilized time and time again throughout the seasons was the awful topic of pedophilia. I can't even begin to count how many of season 12 and 13's sexual jokes revolved around children or underaged characters. I honestly can't believe that some of the things they showed are even legal! I mean, it certainly wasn't full on animated child porn or anything but they still got surprisingly over the top with the writer's obvious obsession with pedophilia that seriously makes me question their mental health. There were times while watching the two seasons that I actually worried in the back of my mind about getting arrested for owning those DVDs due to how they constantly pushed the envelope with sexual jokes regarding characters that aren't of the legal consent age in the United States.

So yeah, those two seasons were certainly something....to say the least. I'm glad that now Family Guy is back on it's feet but I'll never forget that not too long ago, there was a time when the show I love was a complete nightmare loaded with gory violence, psychopathic humor, sexualization of minors, and gross vomiting sequences that made me want to vomit alongside the characters on screen.
