RE: Cartoon poll which do you choose
I went with Loony Toons because they sorta started it all(screw mickey..he was never funny)...so many wonderful characters....and the humor still stands today. And yes, I found Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and dressed like a girl bunny [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

RE:Cartoon poll which do you choose
Bugs Bunny dressed as a girl bunny was ALMOST as hot as the old woman in the daisy dukes in that 'over 18' lounge thread... but I'd still have to go with the Simpsons, I love the show's often intellectual, subtle humor...

RE:Cartoon poll which do you choose
The decision between Family Guy and the Simpsons is very tough to make. From the very first episode, I thought Family Guy was pure genius. I don't know if I have ever laughed at a show harder than I laugh while watching Family Guy.
That being said, FG only got three seasons, no time to go stale. Maybe McFarlane runs out of ideas after awhile, and the show goes downhill. We'll never know. What we do know is that the Simpsons has been consistently hilarious for more than ten years, which is absolutely amazing. Consistently funny over it's entire life. It's like Bo Jackson vs. Emmitt Smith. I think that I'll have to vote for Family Guy, based on its ability to always make me laugh my @$$ off, to an extent that the Simpsons could never reach.

Overrated? I guess that's just a matter of personal opinion, but I sure as hell would take what I consider to be the underrated animation/scripting efforts of Jerry Beck, Will Friedwald, Robert McKimson, and the voicing genius of Mel Blank in their Loony Tunes/Merry Melodies efforts, over the paltry couple of seasons worth of enormously funny family guy, or over the long-running, but increasingly staid Simpsons. The Simpsons was pure genius when it was first produced (and I have watched them ever since they were on the Fox Sunday night lineup in the Tracy Ullman show), but after about six seasons or so the plotlines and jokes on the Simpsons began to seem old to me. I continue to watch the show out of loyalty, and because bad Simpsons episodes are still better than much of the available programming extant today, but I don't think the series was as consistently funny and original as the old Loony Tunes shorts were... As for Family Guy, it is a pretty darned hilarious show (I still Tivo it on Adult Swim every night), but it was short-lived (although Cartoon Network has brought it back from the grave- season four is in production right now), and considering the fact that Seth Green & co are able get away with a lot more off-color humour than the crew at Warner Brothers could, I still will take the proven decades long production of very funny shorts from Loony Tunes over the short history of the crude, but absolutely hilarious Family Guy. As I said, this is just a matter of opinion, and that's my bum nickel thrown on the pile...

RE:Cartoon poll which do you choose
Looney Tunes were rarely funny. It's like watching the current SNL. 95% of it is garbage, but every once in awhile there'll be a solid bit. At least with the Simpsons, you can almost always count on a nugget worth remembering from just about every episode.... "my cat's breath smell's like cat food"..."my nose makes its own bubblegum"..."umm, floor pie"...I'm sorry, but you just don't get that with the Looney Tunes. I will go ahead and say that the Looney Tunes are/is the most overrated cartoon in the history of cartoons.

RE: Cartoon poll which do you choose
Good for you. I admire your passion...
As I said, this is all a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that the Simpsons is old and worn out, and that I have always found classic Loony Tunes shorts to be pretty darned hilarious. Now if we can agree to disagree about silly cartoon rankings, I think I will stop typing, and proceed to make a trip to my fridge for necessary beer replenishment, and I think I will do so while whistling the "Kill the Wabbit" song. And if I am really lucky, the Lakers might start staging a comeback while I'm up...

if the question was which show made you laugh the hardest(which would not be bad question) then I would go Family Guy hands down..like you said Chaffy, it steped into its first season in full off beat genius....I have all three seasons on dvd and constantly watch them....without a doubt it is the funniest show I HAVE EVER SEEN...FUNNIEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY!.... but I went with loony toons because they started it all....they brought sarcasm into the market that paved the way for all others to come...most notably the Simpsons and Family Guy....and to Murph's point about all the great lines the Simpsons has given us...Family Guy can easily hold its own...."excuse me son you are going to have to take those two hams out from under your shirt....oh you are just a fat kid....hey carl....hes just a fat kid!

Honestly, I was never able to make it through a complete episode of the Family Guy.

BBBwwwthhh... bwwth... bwth...
That was the figurative series of farts (which I recreated in real life), that I thought would be the best of possible responses to this silly, silly opinion-based thread. In my opinion, serious, cogent arguments aimed at addressing which cartoon characters, individual fans like the best are silly, stupid, silly, and stupid, stupid... And that's just my bum nickel on the business... Bwwwwthhh... Plop...

RE: Cartoon poll which do you choose
Let me be number 2.... I thought that show was crap. But I also think the Simpsons is crap. Except for two episodes.... the one with U2 in it and the one where Abu tries to get his citizenship.

As far as Looney Tunes go, I enjoyed watching it when I was growing up, definitely have some fond memories, (except for the Roadrunner, god I hated that bird; the friggin' coyote's starving, just let him eat you and stop tormenting him so!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]) but I never really thought the show was genius humor or anything... It's been years since I've seen any 'tunes, though, I may need to watch some again sometime...

"That's not a van, that's my kid!" "Oh, really? Hey Carl, it's just a fat kid!"

RE: Cartoon poll which do you choose
Amazing how passionate that adults are about thier cartoon.
The Simpsons edged The Family on body of work. Show for show, it's a dead heat IMO.
