I was watching some old Tom and Jerry over the weekend and good God did it make me laugh. The sound effects were so f*cking funny and even though I've seen each episode at least 20x it's still so damn brilliant.
Cartoons today suck.

and remember how the cartoon characters would give lessons just before the commecial breaks?
some kid: "hey guys! lets put a lighted match to this huge pile of crap next to the telephone pole"
Cartoon hero: "wait a minute guys. playing with matches is bad. you might burn your legs off like annakin skywalker."

PolaroidMan you are totally missing out, the cartoons we grew up on were imbedded into our minds but today there is real story, a continual one that goes on and on...the ones we grew grew up on are missing a lot of great story telling that the ones i watch tody have, look at The Batman, or Samuari Champloo, or Justice League Unlimited or Digimon or Paranoia Agent or Metabots here:
Adult Swim:

I agree, the cartoons from the past are better. However, there are some pretty great ones out there, I just don't watch them. I have younger siblings who watch them. I watched one the other day with them and was surprised at how clever everything has gotten. Sure, there are some pretty bad, cheesy ones, but a lot of the newer ones are clever. I have to keep asking my sister if she actually understood that! lol.

*understood the clever joke or storyline that was being played out, i mean.

Yeah, I posted that Ebaums/GI Joe link here once and got the Timeline pic thrown at me a few times.
It's still hilarious though.
