South Park (1997– )

The Best Thing from Comedy Central

[10/10 · 4 November 2023]

Whenever it usually comes to satire always consisting of edgy and raunchy humor, South Park is the answer!

Compared to other beloved Comedy Central cartoon Drawn Together and other fellow edgy adult cartoon Family Guy, it delivers quite the most offensive content to piss off anyone of any religion, race or heritage. And hell, it even had the guts to piss off Scientologists and real life celebrities without even noticing! This is what I enjoy about South Park. Anything can be meant to be offensive and also hilarious at the same time. I think you should give South Park a chance. You'll have yourself a time!

Family Guy (1999– )

Cringe Comedy at its Best!

[10/10 · 20 October 2023]

If you want an edgy as well as offensive version of The Simpsons, then Family Guy would be your answer!

What exactly is Family Guy you may ask? Well, let me, the one and only John Woodruff, tell you what Family Guy is all about.

Family Guy is the greatest thing my idol, Seth MacFarlane, has ever made. Mr. MacFarlane wanted to make his own version of The Simpsons but make it more offensive. And he successfully did it!

Stewie, Meg and Brian are usually my favorite characters from this adult cartoon.

I am also proud of myself for watching every single episode on TV.

Screw its haters! Family Guy is gonna stay on the television screen whether we like it or not!

That's all I'd like to say.

Moral Orel (2005–2009)

Steven Universe for Adults

[10/10 · 20 October 2023]

This is what I, John Woodruff, consider to be Adult Swim's misunderstood masterpiece.

I love how the adult cartoon is a coming of age story which takes place back in 1994 and 1995 (the year my parents were still dating each other) focusing on our hero Orel Puppington as he learns rights and wrongs about both reality and Christianity. I felt like Clay Puppington had the most character development (especially the 3rd and last on how we discovered that Orel's dad grew up in quite a messed up way, which shows us how Clay mistreats Orel and also has a toxic love triangle involving his wife Bloberta and Coach Daniel Stopframe. I especially loved how it ended with Orel growing up and getting married to his girlfriend Christina Posabule and starting a family of his own.

It's what I consider Davey and Goliath mixed in with Family Guy since Family Guy itself is another messed up cartoon not for kids.

Jellystone (2021– )

Yogi Bear with a Brand New Look

[9/10 · 1 October 2023]

I, John Woodruff, cannot believe that we had to wait exactly 30 years for Yogi Bear to have another TV show to star in and believe it or not, Jellystone! Is actually outstanding!

What I liked most about Jellystone! Is the new female characters replacing the old male characters that C. H. Greenblatt (the creator of Chowder and Harvey Beaks) came up with using Trixie (Pixie and Dixie's triplet sister), Roberta Luisa "Bobbie Looey" Burra (Roberto Luis "Baba Looey" Burro's cousin), Augustina/Augusta "Girl Augie" Doggie (Augustus "Augie" Doggie's twin sister), Super Virginia "Ginny" Snooper (Super Eugene "Gene" Snooper's sister), Lucille-Pierrette "Lucy ze Loop" Devereaux (Luc-Pierre "Loopy de Loop" Devereaux's sister), Tweety "Girl Yakky" Doodle (Yakky Doodle's twin cousin and Charles a.k.a. Chopper's twin niece), Charlotte a.k.a. Girl Chopper (Charles a.k.a. Chopper's sister and Yakky Doodle's aunt), Chooey (Choo-Choo's sister), Brenda (Brain's smarter younger sister), Spooky (Spook's silent older sister), Harriet "Hardy Har Har, Sr." Harding (Harrison "Hardy Har Har, Jr." Harding's mother), Girl Yappee (Yappee's cousin), Squidwina "Girl Squiddly Diddly" Diddlington (Squidmond "Squiddly Diddly" Diddlington's sister), Jabberjaw, Jr. (Jabberjaw, Sr's daughter), Big Hon (Big Hunk's sister) and Scars (Skids' cousin) all had a chance to finally shine on TV.

I also liked seeing Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy Bear being portrayed as animated furry Childrens Hospital medics, Wally Gator as a reptilian version of Patrick Star, Peter Potamus as a basement dwelling neckbeard, Top Cat and his gang as scammers (even though Hokey Wolf should've also participated with them), Quick Draw McGraw serving part time as both El Kabong and a school teacher and the references to other Hanna-Barbera related projects.

The only downsides I would describe about the cartoon would be Cindy Bear without her traditional southern accent that the late Julie Bennett used since her debut in 1961, Magilla Gorilla being mellow like and wearing glasses (which I actually wear) and Shag Rugg with a ghetto accent (despite being my male favorite character from the aforementioned cartoon) as well as a majority of the Yogi Bear fandom (some of them being religious, homophobic, transphobic, nostalgiatarded or all of the above) who sent poor C. H. Greenblatt (who worked so hard working on the aforementioned cartoon again) death threats for ruining Yogi Bear and claiming it worse than Hitler (which is Godwin's Law in a nutshell) and also claim that William "Bill" Hanna and Joseph "Joe" Barbera are rolling in their graves. But to be fair, I think Yo, Yogi! Deserves more hatred than Jellystone! For making NBC give up Saturday morning cartoons in favor of TNBC (not to be confused with The Nightmare Before Christmas) which lasted for 10 years from 1992 until 2002.

Overall, you deserve a pat on the back, Mr. Greenblatt. I know it may not be perfect as the traditional Yogi Bear but you, compared to Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath (the creators of Teen Titans Go! Who sadly never understood the Teen Titans concept, compared to Glen Murakami), seemed to understand the entire Yogi Bear concept as well as Hanna-Barbera in general. I admire your works and you should feel proud of yourself for giving Yogi Bear and his friends a fresh new start.

Toy Story (1995)

The Pioneer of Computer Animated Films

[10/10 · 4 September 2023]

Of course Toy Story has to be not only one of my favorite movies of all time, but also one of my favorite childhood movies in general.

The Pixar crew placed in a lot of effort to create their signature franchise with three sequels, two holiday themed specials, a TV show spin-off I remembered watching as a little boy and a "mediocre" spin-off movie that became a box office bomb.

Of course Pixar has other beloved franchises like Cars, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo and The Incredibles as well as most recently Inside Out but Toy Story, on the other hand, will still remain as the best franchise Pixar had to give us for different generations!
