Why is slapstick in the post-AT age so rare? I get that SpongeBob wasn't the hot thing to copy anymore, but could there be at least a little more variety? Not even action cartoons are as common as they used to be.
>>155674894what the literal fuck am I looking at?
>>155674894Because retard parents blame violence on tv for their violent retard kids
Most current year cartoonists hate slapstick and think it makes them look childish and inferior
>>155674924HTF is fun for the whole family!
>>155674954>t. Krusty The Clown
>>155674937I also have a sneaking suspicion that they think it's "problematic" because of how people view John K.
>>155674894This you? >>155674852>>155674937That’s ironic because they made themselves look more childish by airing out their dirty laundry into a kid’s show [see: the bee episode].
>>155674979I'm a slapstick enjoyer, so yes.
>>155674920Disney XD’s fastest cancelled cartoon.
>>155675018And it premiered in the middle of a GF marathon. Disney had very little faith in Billy Dilley.
>>155674974No, most modern day animators/cartoon fans hate the idea of appealing to pre-teen boys (slapstick, violence, gross humour mean-spiritedness and obnoxious morons)
>>155675045Retard
>>155675045Ironic, because I just heard Dragon Striker appealed to the same demographic. I've only seen maybe a few threads on it so far, but it looks to give shows like The Owl House and Amphibia a run for their money.
>>155675082Did anyone actually watch Owl House? Why do I keep seeing it brought up online everywhere?
>>155675108I saw the first season of it back when it was still airing new episodes, and it was... I'm not gonna lie, it was GF with a Harry Potter skin.
>>155675127>it was GF with a Harry Potter skin.
>>155675127What’s GF?
>>155675234The one show about some whiny kid who simps for a redhead. Oh, and some quirk chungus bitch who's his sister.
>>155675234
>>155674920You clearly don’t understand the cartoon genius of Aaron Springer, anon.
>>155675536Squirdward looks like he came out of Pizza Tower LOL.
>>155674894We can’t have slapstick cartoons anymore because everyone’s too oversensitive for it>"oh my god, are those exaggerated expressions? That face is clearly an attempt at making a meme!">"90s cartoons are hideous and scare me, why does western animation hate beauty?">"This looks like John K. pedophile bullshit and is problematic.">"Golden age cartoons objectify women and are racist and modern cartoons and anime are an improvement.">"This is too overstimulating, sensory overload!"All these are dogshit takes I’ve heard people unironically say, many of them are the kinds who watch the shittiest modern cartoons imaginable. The current generation is seemingly a bunch of humorless faggots.
>>155675555lol saved
>Spumco fags: Cartoons should only be funny>Me: You're a comedian? Because I've known you for years and you haven't made me laugh once
>>155675812Yeah I miss slapstick being more common in cartoons but Spumcofags are the most unfunny autists I’ve ever met. I don’t think their brains are getting enough circulation or something.
>>155675647People these days also probably associate slapstick comedy cartoons with being "immature" and "childish" while at the same time praising sanitized poorly animated action garbage they think is "mature" like Invincible. Interestingly this is kinda like the stigma 80s manchildren have, they see slapstick cartoons as childish while praising their sappy toy commercials like He-Man as "mature".The real reason this idea that funny cartoons are for kids even exists is because of the 70s when parents groups pushed for sanitization and aired theatrical shorts on tv towards family audiences. Looney Tunes and MGM shorts were geared towards fucking adults, yet there’s a lot of animation 'fans' that don’t even know that.
>>155675848I dunno, there was a really funny Spucmo guy who made hilarious drawings in various threads. It's not guy, but someone who knows how to draw in Spumco's style. I believe he drew a caricature of Saberspark as a weight lifter LOL
>>155675876Any archive links or pics?
>>155675888Here you go.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/155546667/#155547294I believe he's on X, so you can follow him if you want.
>>155675897Oh yeah i remember seeing this. I wonder what else he’s made.
>>155675919He's made quite a lot of drawings. I'd love for him to show up ITT, because this might be up his alley.
>>155675045pre-teen boys don't like that, faggot manchildren like it, when I was a pre-teen boy I thought metal and Dragon ball Z was cool.
>>155676263Shittaste
Because the only people who care about slapstick are 4 years old but smart enough to watch it on YouTube/Boomerang, or cartooning autists.
>>155676290Nice fanfic
Actual answer is because good slapstick requires money and talent that companies aren’t willing to shell out.
>>155676321>good slapstick requires moneyThis was the most unfortunate answer after looking at Snipple's work on Nu-R&S. (Not that they could save it anyway when it was a writer-driven show run by Jenny Jaffe.)
>>155675897>>155675937Yeah my X is @atlobs_the_43rd, I post my drawings here from time to time.>>155676321Many modern animators also don’t really know about the art of cartooning anymore, they either just copy anime or drawing in a beanmouth/soft artstyle. Theres a reason we never get uniquely stylized action cartoons like Samurai Jack anymore either.
>>155676948Art is dead
>>155674937Yeah, because it's better to take a kid's cartoon super seriously and turn it into a therapy session.I find it retarded how people grow up watching something, think that something is cool, fun and shit, but instead of understanding it and following the same logic, they turn it into shit by adding unnecessary shit.
>>155675536I understand most of it, except that cartoon he did with john k where a cat fucks a baby's face for like five minutes. Can you explain the genius behind that one, anon?
>>155677063>except that cartoon he did with john k where a cat fucks a baby's face for like five minutes.Are you talking about Weekend Pussy Hunt?
>>155676948>>155675536indistinguishable from troon humour.
>>155677048>instead of understanding it and following the same logic, they turn it into shit by adding unnecessary shit.The development behind Nu-R&S in a nutshell. I still won't forgive Jenny Jaffe for kicking Bob Camp out of his own show.
>>155677239I never seen a troon take any interest in anything remotely funny, let alone Ren and Stimpy.
>>155674920Billy Dilley. And no; very few remember it exists. The few who do can't remember a single thing about it.
>>155677239Troons don't like Spumco shit. Try again
>>155674894The law of nature, the ingredient that adds stakes.
>>155674894Oh they're still around Many of you just pay them no mind
>>155680807I hope Disney renews this for a season 4
>>155680807The eyes and line-work alone kills any interest I could potentially have on this.
>>155677239Nah, troons are completely unable to draw slapstick without adding a giant text bubble with the most painfully boring referential joke ever.
>>15567586580s manchildren and 2010's manchildren have much more in common than they want to admit, and both of them miss decades that represent the death of creativity in the animation industry.
>>155681721Well yeah, millennials are the ones raising gen alphas, right? Of course their both retarded.
>>155681770Like father, like son.It is still a bit too early to be sure, but I hope Gen Beta is better than Gen Alpha in at least some ways. If they end up having more in common with millennials than expected, we're fucked.
>>155680807Kiff is shit and looks like shit, The Patrick Star Show is a better example.
>>155674894Really good slapstick requires animators who understand timing and physics, tastefully balanced against exaggeration and with an element of subversion/misdirection. Goofy walk sequences and reaction faces alone are not enough. This is why latter day John K is so painfully unfunny - all of his visual silliness has no context.Slapstick is hard to do right. The last cartoon I saw with good, elaborate visual gags was It's Pony, and practically no one here paid any attention to it. It just came and went.
>>155674894Slapstick requires fluid animation.Most cartoon budgets have been cut for the past 16 year and are rigged or tweened.Also there's the "imitable violence" thing you have to worry about.
>>155675647>"This looks like John K. pedophile bullshit and is problematic."We laugh at spumchuds but spumco derangement syndrome is just as autistic
>>155684323This. Speaking as someone who genuinely doesn't like people like Spumdonor and Busterbeam I've also met those out there who take their hatred of these people way too far and basically classify everything that remotely cartoony as "spum" and therefore a cancerous evil on animation. One person I know went as far as essentially using the same tactics they used on other people against them such as calling them rape victims and shit which @ that point you really can't claim any moral superior over them. I've also seen these people refer to Golden Age Animation such as Bob Clampett and Tex Avery cartoons as "spum" which is so bullshit that I don't want to cover that can of worms.
Slapstick comics?
>>155683565Too bad it looked greasy
>>155675647>>155675865If you really think the issue is that zoomers are “too sensitive,” and that’s why they don’t like slapstick, you're a fucking retarded. Guys at my school would literally show each other cartel execution videos when they were 13. The issue with my generation is that we were exposed to so much gore and porn from a very young age, which is why we tend to have such a weird extreme contrast between degeneracy and Puritanism. As for why we don’t like slapstick, I think it’s simply because it’s seen as cringe.
>>155674894Billy Dilly was so brief but wonderful. It felt like a lost 90s Saturday morning cartoon.
>>155680118Zeek is the calzone king
>>155675018I heard it was only ever supposed to be the one season.
Millennial and Gen Z artists are far more influenced by anime and its aesthetics rather than Golden Age of Animation cartooning. And I think that's part of why the industry is in the sorry state it's in
>>155685656Retard take
>>155678835>>155680168>>155681691literally only modern troons and fags from the 1970's draw shit like this and think it's funny.
>>155685959Exactly my point, it’s not funny.
>>155686090I don't care about the jokes, I'm talking about this specific sort of gross out Spumco-esque art-style, tell me who other troons and retard gen-xers user it?
RAMPANT TRANNY OBSESSION
>>155685959Fag>>155686123Go back
>>155685959I'm still right about what I said.Whenever troons try to do slapstick, the drawings are safe and it falls flat because they need to find a way to justify it with mediocre punchlines.
>>155686211The Hays code and comics code of authority were based and anyone against them is a fag>>155686306Okay you didn't answer the question, why do only troon and gen-x fags use this art-style?
>>155683941>Slapstick requires fluid animationNot really. Shows with limited animation but great slapstick exist, you just need to understand the limitations that the humor isn't lost in the timing.
>>155686348>why do only troon and gen-x fags use this art-style?Because they don't. There are zoomers and chuds who also enjoy slapstick, but you ignore them to focus on the same five retards living rent-free in your head.
>>155685686He's right tho. Young artists are getting way too stuck in a select few influences and they rarely go out of their comfort zone to find something different. The issue isn't even a partisan thing, even among people I politically agree with, there tends to be a smaller pool of talent to draw from compared to previous years.
No idea. I only watch really old cartoons from 30 years ago so this isn't an issue for me.
>>155686348Subhuman retard
>>155685586The thing though is it was burned out in just 12 days. That alone gives it the title.
>>155685656I'm honestly glad there's comedians as energetic as they are, because Jim Carrey's the best candidate for cartooning.
>>155674920Ofuscation.Now this are wild takes.https://youtu.be/VJB2K5wXbIQ?si=sPTLUPVSdi6cZ_eU
