Was this the first time a comedy cartoon existed for more than just for gags?
>>153398266>Finntrannies lost>Lesbian sex wonThat's all that matters.
>>153398266It felt like before Adventure Time, every comedy cartoon that existed was just a vehicle for gags without much story to tell. Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Ren and Stimpy. Very thin stories.
>>153398331Ed Edd n Eddy kind of changed that trend with the movie.
>>153398266No
>>153398266Dragonball is a Comedy cartoon, and it has more that just gags
>>153398266Probably first Western one, but like the other anon said Dragonball kinda fits the bill
>>153398300Kys
>>153398266Fucking no? Without even trying to autism out the real answer I can already point to The Simpsons as a show that told real stories while being a comedy in animation.

>>153398266Adventure time and Steven Universe trying to emulate Anime's serialized story telling isn't anything new but I feel like it representative of the industry's last dying breath to try to innovate and start something new. Its a shame its went no where and basically died after it burnt out. I hate western entertainment.
>>153401322I hate anime, it's so juvenile and low effort
>>153401473Ok, normalfag
>>153401473Yeah, just like adventure time, glad we agree.
>>153398266fuck that shit, I want my Dexter Laboratory, my KND, my Coursge the Cowsrdly Dog, my Powerpuff Girls fun, cartoon fun, not this shitty teeny edgy woke anime crap
>>153398414>Dragonball is a Comedy cartoonGet the fuck outta here with that anime bs
>>153401322Adventure Time didn't even start doing that shit till after season 2. It was self contained surrealist esoteric morality plays. The transition was jarring even for teens.Steven Universe was absolutely dogshit at serialized storytelling and fucking ignored 70% of the details they setup, in favor of fucking slice of life, which doesn't match the setting and story. Then "resolved" it in an actualy retarded way.
>>153401532>not this shitty teeny edgy woke anime crapShut your mouth, bitch
>>153401630NTA but anime has lowered the standards of storytelling in animation, fights and flashy explosions is all that matters now and I hate it
>>153398266Didn't A Charlie Brown Christmas exist long before this? I remember that getting surprisingly melancholic.
