It's Cartman for the 90s.
Pick one of the ATHF characters for the 2000s. The bomb scare alone is more important than some robot people only remember for the porn.
Finn is a good pick for 2010s.

South Park is too American you can't put it near the fucking simpsons in term of influence

>>152112188
I’d put Bart in the 90s and He-Man in the 80s.
Move Bugs to the 40s and make 30s Popeye.
I think the original image was bait made by a Tiny Toons schizo.

Why do people pretend Simpsons was an 80s thing when the show began in the fall of 89? The mainstay of Simpsons popularity was the 90s. Really 91 to 98 or so when it began falling off, and other competition started popping up.

I really don't see why closely adhering to a date on a wiki article about the first episode airdate having much to do with the era when a show was popular. It was popular as a 90s phenomenon. Most shows are ignored for the first season or two anyway before the popularity really starts rolling in.

Why don't people put more respect on his name? There were no screwball cartoon characters before him.

Tracy Ulman Simpsons didn't have that level of cultural influences.

50s is Hcukleberry Hoound and 2000's is Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot, you probably saw the latter in porn on the internet.

I really can't think there is a single character that dominates a whole decade like that anyway. Somethings are really popular for like 2-3 years and then replaced by something else.

80s in particular. it's really hard to hammer down a single character that speaks for the whole decade. Shit came and went too damn fast. It's more like Papa Smurf for 80-81, He-Man for 84ish, Slimer in 87', and maybe Alf around 88-89. And some stuff was really huge for a time and then immediately buried fast as if it was nothing at all, but it was everywhere for a few years. Alf having 3 simultaneous shows and then nothing is a huge example.

Same with the 2010s, Finn works for 2010-2013 but then everyone mostly stopped caring about Adventure Time. Elsa was way more popular as a globally viewed animated character after that. By the end of the decade it was all things Marvel. No single character speaks for a while decade like this since no one ever really stays on top for too long.

The series began in the 80s. Bart Simpsons is an 80s character who's popularity ultimately rests in that same decade.

>>152115698
You have no idea what you are talking about. The Tracy Ullman show has been proven to be one of the most watched tv series in the 1980s and one of the top grossing series for Fox.

The Simpsons on their own didn't become a massive powerhouse until their first solo season.

I was really scratching my head for the 1980s crap. Just couldn't picture a pecking order in my minds eye, does anyone have ratings on hand?

>>152116008
I was there, He-Man was way more important than Inspector Gadget.

>>152115961
Factually incorrect. Simpsons was a massively popular series on the Tracy Ullman show years before the pilot was made. This is the core reason why Fox decided to expand the shorts into a full series.

I'll take your word for it but >>152114206 makes a valid point, I don't think He-Man was big outside of America.

Yeah they didn't even air the cartoon, only made some VHS compilations. The action figures were popular and held on until replaced by Turtles.

The Simpsons were more of a '90s icon and you know it.
>>
The Simpsons was a big hit in the '80s but it doesn't remotely compare to the cultural monster it became in the '90s.

The comedy sections in bookstores basically became The Simpsons, they were everywhere in advertising, and Fox could slap them on any merchandise and it'd sell.

The only thing in animation during thay era that really came close to that was TMNT and even it didn't have the cross generational appeal the Simpsons had.

Chowder was more of a 2000s cartoon.

I’d get rid of Buster Bunny, a middling Bug Bunny clone is nothing compared to the cultural power of SpongeBob or Pikachu. He’ll, I’d argue Lola Bunny had a bigger impact thanks to Space Jam.

>>152117340
Factually incorrect. The Simpsons had years of success before it was spun off to its own series in the 1989.
