Post characters the writers tried desperately to force into the show before realizing they were terrible and writing them out completely Pic obviously related
>>155536125
>>155536144What we got after Sparky was much worse though.Having a second Cosmo in dog form was easier to watch than Timmy being forced to share with some Little-Miss-Perfect Mary-Sue who doesn’t even need fairies.
>>155536125https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqwxq89UQ3QI liked him
>>155536167Maybe but she wasn't written out of the show.
>>155536167everyone clapped when some black girl did the same thing
>>155536190Honestly he would've worked better if they just kept him in the CIA and maybe did a few plots with him and Stan going on missions but they gave him a sideplot with going out with Haley which was absolutely terrible
>>155536125God this character was so fucking dull, especially his romance plot with Hayley that went nowhere.
>>155536125I never understood his gimmick. He's a hobo... that acts nothing at all like a hobo?
>>155536249>>155536125I'm guessing the CIA gave him some proper training and therapy to get him out of the habits that leads a person into becoming a hobo and being able to be a CIA agent with plausible deniability because dude that's a koala look it's acting like a koala you were just drunk when you thought you heard it talking.
that's the problem with Seth Macfarlane shows, they run forever and they all have like 10 Poochies.somehow the Simpsons doesn't have this problem. they just create a one-off character that gets popular and they chase it. and they don't use talking animals as a cheap way to create whimsy.
>>155536125He's hot
>>155536245I'd kick Reginald's ass if I were Jeff Fischer, and I never really liked Jeff Fischer that much to begin with.
in before "nobody hated him until james gunn"
>>155536213everyone stopped clapping when some psychotic femanon selfshipped herself with said black girl and attacked anyone who shipped her "wife" with doug dimmadome’s grandson
>>155536201She did something more powerful than being so hated that she was written out.She was so hated that they finally put the show out of its misery because of her.
>>155536409I hate how I can remember shit like this but not port numbers.
>>155536125Reginald was based though.
>>155536765Vinny tried his best, he didn't ask to be shoved into a family as an emotional bandaid.
>>155536765>>155536810This character was so obviously terrible that it was a joke, but they played it completely straight. They played that entire inane 'Brian dies' thing completely straight. Like it was a joke on the audience. But then I see people posting like they actually gave a shit about that garbage. So the whole thing was just incredibly confusing.It's like if instead of an episode of Family Guy they just made a cartoon episode of Teletubbies and put that on instead. And a bunch of people online talked about how great that Family Guy episode was without a trace of irony. Some kind of group hallucination or some shit. Was there a gas leak in America across all of America for several months surrounding those episodes?
>>155536869Yes.
>>155536765>>155536869I rewatched the Life of Brian trilogy recently and Vinny was just not funny. It's a good thing he was only temporary
>>155536912Yeah. That was the point. It was the point that he was so obviously terrible. So terrible of a character in such an inane inclusion to a story that it had to be an intentional joke. But the joke never happened and people don't seem to understand. So were the writers coked up? Was the audience coked up? Is this anon I am replying to coked up? Genuinely. This situation makes no fucking sense.
>>155536328>nobody hated him until james gunnIs that the narrative zoomers are pushing? Christ, anon, I'm not old enough to be having a "you kids today" moment
>>155536409Qrd?
>>155536125I would totally fuck him up the ass
To me was Gabriella from Big City Greens, a character that writers tried to make/give Cricket a love interest that went entirely nowhere since her debut in the valentines episode, and by S2, suddenly she ended up being his girlfriend with no real buildup to what lead up to as the writers never invested any given time to focus on her character, supposedly they tried to make like Cricket in some way like pranking someone or pulling pranks, which it was only use in two episodes before the next had her undergo some transformation into her becoming Goth before having her fade into the background like the rest.
>>155537047Obsessed lunatic and alleged femanon that posted on /co/ who had a disturbing yume-obsession with Hazel from nuFOP and thinks she’s her wife (Hazel is 10 btw). She allegedly used social media accounts including her alleged TikTok (absolutely disgusting) account Enoshibaa, where she posted a shrine of Hazel. She also deleted all of her accounts so there’s no way to confirm this part.She thinks that when she kills herself, she’ll be with Hazel and be the same age as her again. She also hates Dev and people who ship him with her “wife” with a fiery passion. Later on she found out Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (co-developer of ANW and Hazel’s VA) shipped Devzel and that was the final straw.Early in April of this year, she stalked Ashleigh and sent her a few horrifying emails. She posted them to Instagram and millions of people found out about the fucker’s fantasies. MoistCritikal even did a video on the email. She is now forever immortalized here as Hazelschizo.TLDR: obsessed schizo thinks a fictional child is her wife and really exists. She harasses the voice actor and shippers over said fictional child.
>>155537198Fucking hell, this cannot be real.
>>155536144Thank God they put him down.
>>155537198
>>155536328People hated him but I never did and still don't. I didn't understand it them and don't understand it now. He saved the show. While he wasn't my favourite, nobody else in Scooby Doo is, either. They're as bland as boiled flour. Old school Scoob is kinda boring and exceptionally formulaic. Scrappy was no different. He was simply a younger character created to give kids a point of entry and it worked.
>>155536167Timmy should have fuckedh er
>>155536409hold on, i want more info, why do the most innocuous shows gain the most insane fans?
>>155537198Wait the nigga who wanted to fuck the DEI negress was a foid the entire time?!?!
>>155537098
>>155538121See >>155537198 for more info.
>>155537198>she made a shrine of HazelLegitimately, what was her fucking problem?
>>155536144I wonder if viewers thought he ate Poof and then Chloe put him down when they removed them for Season 10?God, I wish that was the case.
>>155536125I remember the gay couple being way worse at this
>>155536765>>155536891ConfessionWhen I was 14 I made fun of a girl who was like 10-12 for being sad over Brian's then still current death and how she actually thought it would stick. I told her I smiled and laughed at his death
>>155538186I want to rub that koala dick and jerk him off
>>155536891I still cant believe some dumbfuck actually got a tattoo of him and RIP. I bet he was pissed when brian reappeared a few episodes later
>>155539195Ok
>>155536952Zoomers hate this character because they only saw Gunn's version
>>155536328Kids liked Scrappy. It was a show for kids.
>>155539299So?
>>155539311So the character worked for the intended audience?
>>155536765I think Life of Brian was the last episode my local indie aired of FG before Disney took it off the market
>>155539338Grim.
>>155536869>Like it was a joke on the audienceit was a joke on the audidience. see >>155536891they made the situation so retarded that people would say "this is awful we want Brian back" and then when he comes back in two episodes they'd feel smug and think their displeasure "made" them bring Brian back despite the fact cartoons are made a year in advance and the episodes were all done months before they aired and it was the plan all along.
>>155536125>>155536231>>155536273What even happened with his subplot with Hayley? There was several episodes of building up with it but I genuinely can't remember what the fuck happens to it or him.
>>155539338Imagine living wherever that anon is and thinking for the longest time that Family Guy ends with the episode where Brian gets hit by a car and fucking dies.
>>155539106I will not stand for Greg and Terry slanderIf anything, the show suffered from Terry being written off (and his VA/showrunner leaving)
>>155540289I mean you would have to live in an area that somehow had a station that carried syndicated Family Guy but did not have a FOX affiliateBut that would be really fucking funny
>>155536952Anon, only the oldest zoomers like scooby doo. There arguably hasnt been a good scooby doo for the past 13-18 years.
>>155536144OP said the "WRITERS" tried desperately to force into the show, Sparky was purely an exec who was trying to force a repeat of Poof's ratings bump and the actual writers and showrunner hated putting him in there.
I can't prove it but I'm certain that Mr. Nimbus was supposed to be the next big recurring Rick and Morty character, only to utterly fail to take off
>>155540821I liked Be Cool. I didn't like the one where Scooby Snacks had nanobots and superpowers.
>>155536948>Was the audience coked up?I wish
>>155539182That would be hilarious if you didnt make me feel so old lol
Does anyone have any good comic book character examples?
The Cloudbeam Marketing Team from Archer season 12. Super annoying characters, and I'm glad the show got rid of them.
>>155536765hey pim, did you see that video of a dog getting run over? its so awful, you can tell all its bones are broken, blood is just pooling everywhere, its teeth are all smashed up and broken. just awful man. don't watch it
>>155536289>somehow the Simpsons doesn't have this problemToo established at this point. Also they don't want to pay the VAs more than they have to if they add new recurring characters.
>>155541455>I didn't like the one where Scooby Snacks had nanobots and superpowers.Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue, and yeah it was trash
>>155536765He's boring but at least he's not a liberal scumbag like Brian.
>>155539437>when he comes back in two episodes they'd feel smug and think their displeasure "made" them bring Brian back despite the fact cartoons are made a year in advanceIf there's one positive about shows today taking literal years between seasons it's that most people have finally clued into the fact that seasons are made all at once, and barring some extreme circumstance no amount of IRL whinging is going to make a show change course mid-season.
>>155539322Kids liked Scrappy for awhile, but he didn't change the fundamental issues with the show. So you had another formulaic character except this one also had a catchphrase repeated over and over again.
>>155537198I think if more normies were made aware of these types of people they wouldn't have been so quick to make LEL AUTISM the next trendy thing, because this is genuinely horrifying
>>155541531Pick literally any character introduced by an author & featured heavily during their run only to be completely forgotten about as soon as the book changes hands. Ghost-Maker is one example of many I can think of.
>>155536125>Pic obviously relatedI don't fully follow along with all of McFarland's regurgitation shows, but Jeff is the one who should be written off...
>>155537198Fujos are a different breed, man.
>>155542030He was. Then they brought him back
>>155542220Yumes it's yumes when it's a self ship
>>155536765Isn't the joke that he was a one-off that was never intended to be long-term?
>>155541905I liked her, she literally only had one episode.
>>155536765>Pic unrelated.
>>155541748who?>Season 12That explains it. I gave up on Archer after they kept changing the show each season.
>>155536167>Having a second Cosmo ooh you're bad... i shouldnt...
>>155536125Shut up he's cool
>>155537198This is why Reagan should have never closed the asylums
>>155536125That was the joke, though? The character being bad and forced was the gag.
>>155537198Glad that one anon who was into the gamer kid from Robot Jones didn’t go down the same path. I will admit she was very close to it though.
>>155545529Doesn't really work because he was in the show, then was out of the show, then back in the show.
>>155545559Yeah, but they never managed to make him work due to being too serious.
>>155545655>due to being too serious.He's a complete fucking goof in the majority of his screen time.He's the buttmonkey of the revenge society and his last two appearances are in a terrible indian cab driver costume and finally giggling like a child saying "vee are robbing zee casino, isn't zat whild!?"
>>155545678I meant that he was played too straight at the beginning
>>155541905She wasn't intended to be forced into the show, they made her up exclusively for that one episode to have its plot. Once it was done, they had no further need of her. She isn't the only character to get this sad treatment.
>>155536328>>155539299He's the original Poochie. Kids liked him at first then they got sick of him.
>>155546400>He's the original dog from HellYou mean Cerberus?
>>155541455Be Cool is fine once you get past the artstyle.
>>155536144>>155536328>>155536765why are they always dogs?
>>155537198>Drawing her is akin to insulting me.Okay guys, we should draw more Hazels to give this bitch the biggest FU ever known to man.
>>155547256Hazel X Timantha would be a great start.
>>155541319The Namor ripoff?
>>155546639The Simpsons knew something we didn’t.
>>155539195Enjoy your chlamydia.
>>155549986thats what latex gloves are for
>>155538333not that weirdI've seen multiple people in the waifu threads here mention having shrines
>>155545529>>155541905These are characters that got written out at the earliest oppurtunity. Exact opposite of what OP asked for
>>155536125Might be too early but the millennial writers are really trying to force him into each scene they can and I don't get the obsession.
>>155536328literally saved the show
>Character comes back for a spoken voice gag in the recent 400th episode>Anon makes a thread celebrating him being goneWhat?
>>155550699Ian Vazquez and Kyle Morrison the SpongeBob artists behind his episodes are fetishists so they need him
>>155536765there was also that doug character that killed off screen
>>155550699Squidward fell out of the antagonist role and just became Spingbing's buddy so I guess they needed a replacement.
>>155536328He's literally me ;-;>>155549409Yeah it's called the Tom and Jerry movie
Remember when The Simpsons wanted Bart to have all sorts of diverse friends for Bart (now the cute Asian boy and the black kid are background characters) and Nelson had goons?
>>155537198Ah, so basically a female version of the Fifi Stalker?
>>155551216That was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the news.Also, he wasn’t stalking Kath, he was stalking Babs’ VA Tress MacNeille. What makes this even better is that Babs’ new VA was coincidentally the same VA as Hazel.
>>155536328Easiest way to rebuttal anyone saying scrappy is a good character is to ask why he hasn't ever returned in any iteration of the show since 1986, EXCEPT for fucking Velma.
>>155550699It pisses me off that Spongebob has absolutely no beef with him anymore.
>>155539563She gets back with Jeff and Reginald gets into a fight with Bullock over it. Kind of just peters out after that.
>>155551614I liked him as an occasional background character, like when that guy kicks Stan out of their chopper over Afghanistan and Reginald goes “look what you did! that was Stan” and then he calms himself down.
