in basically every episode there is the premise that the cat got painted skunk stripes so he mistakes her for a skunk...he definitely wants to score with another skunk...just almost never encounters one...i think there are some episodes that let him encounter one in the end when the cat finally escapes, but its rare...
I remember being about 8 and watching Bugs in a Valkyrie costume and my VERY confused immigrant mother comes in from the kitchen and asks "Are you listing to Wagner!?" Then she just watches the TV for about 10 minutes with this strange look on her face as a cartoon rabbit performs the Ring Cycle.
Looney Tunes was being created from 1930-1969. I'm a gen-xer myself and I don't claim Looney Tunes as ours. Sure I watched reruns of it growing up but it was not meant for us. It is about to be 100 years old.
Holy shit, I always assumed it was from the '70s since it was being repeated so much on tv; but the "What's Opera, doc?" was released to theaters in 1957!
I do claim Animaniacs as ours. Yes I was in college at the time making me technically outside the target age range, but let's face it, it was very funny to all ages.
My mum slapped me for the last time when I was fourteen. I was taller than her and I knew it was coming so I didn't flinch. She just said, well I guess that won't work anymore. Loved my mum dearly, RIP.
My mom beat me until I came to school with a bruise the size if a volleyball. Then CPS came to our door so my mom stopped hitting me and instead made me stand at attention for 2-4 hours per week while she screamed at me about how much better her life would have been without me. After that I started to miss the beatings.
My brother thought he was smart when he ran and broke the usual wooden spoon my mom would beat us with. She outsmarted him by randomly reaching into the drawer and pulled out a metal straining spoon (big and solid with lots of holes) and then proceeded to beat him.
Ah the joys of societal and religiously approved child abuse...
ooof. metal covered in plastic is just brutal. But yeah, once dad came home, then it was a repeat. I don't know which was worse, when I would get it, or when I had to sit outside the room listening to my brothers and sister get it.
But just remember, god said it was a good thing! /s
Yo.. keep Speedy Gonzales out of your mouth. He is not supposed to be some funny caricature. He is basically a Marvel level superhero who saves the day.
No, he’s supposed to be a funny caricature. Pretty much all their characters were.
The fact that he was wildly popular among that community and is the protagonist doesn’t change that he’s a caricature. Captain America is a caricature as well.
Next you're going to tell me Apu is a wildly over educated, incredibly competent, volunteer fire fire fighter, loving husband and father, doctor of computer science, illegal immigrant turned citizen, singer, friends with Paul Macartney. And a million other things.
Kind of a shame that Hank Azaria feels too much guilt to continue to voice Apu, who has basically been written off of the Simpsons. He hasn't voiced Apu for the last 9 seasons......which means there are still 29 seasons with Apu as a top 15 character!
I feel like a well written episode featuring Apu leaving the Quik-E-Mart and becoming an adjunct professor of economics, or something, could revive the character who has been basically absent since 2017.
In a past lifetime I worked at a warehouse with an awesome guy named Gonzales. I would tell him "you make Speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales" At first he didn't get it untill I showed a few clips of Speedy, and said he's like a hero of his village. Later when I said that it made his day.
The oldest of who? I am an elder Gen X and I just turned 60. Did you mean youngest? Truthfully, I don’t get these generation thingies. Because of all the lead in the hose water I suppose.

Honestly, the lack of any form of disagreement/fighting in modern shows isn't that great a message. Shows taught me to stand up for myself.

Shows also taught me that it was okay to leave situations that would get me hurt. Not everything can be talked out.
