The original was funny. It ran with the joke that children could not restrain themselves, and would thoughtlessly beat the crap out of things if they had the power to do so.

>great art direction, intentionally stylized and simplified, gets very geometric in places, really good use of the more faded color theme evoking older cartoons too
>reusing sound libraries from the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons(PPG was the last HB cartoon ever) making a thematic bridge between the older cartoons for the oldfags to get in
>genuinely funny, never pulled its punches in introducing jokes for older audiences to get
>completely unashamed in its presentation, whether its about girly stuff or brutal violence, you can see both right in the trailer, setting a genuine and honest tone right from the start , using a loud and bombastic narrator etc.
>good characterization and story, never feeling the need to go into deepest lore but still provides links here and there to reward following it, but still can be watched in any order(until the movie tried to 2deep4u)
>while the episodes themselves are very consistent in their self-contained tone, there are several types of episodes and you will never know whether you will get a lighthearted comedy episode, an action packed episode, monsters getting mutilated or some deep shit like the Citiesville episode or the one where they travel to the future. As a kid you had no idea what to expect and that made episodes suspenseful, rather than formulaic.
>very recognizable main characters, very well crafted, simple designs, tonally distilled down too, easy to sell merch with
Basically, its what happens when you don't phone in and try to use the excuse "but its for kids!" to dumb things down.

Kids like violence

Was it rebooted two or three times now? I know there was a reboot a few years back but I'm not sure if that's the current one with Bliss in it. That one was terribad. And the Japanese version. So one from years back, possibly the Bliss and the anime. Two or three.
Hudson Jenkins
when it comes to deep shit don't forget the episode where Townsville was rebuilding from all those battles
Leo Lopez
that reboot was a special
Jace Fisher
Which? I watched the original, an episode of whatever the fuck it was from a few years and half of an anime episode but not the one with Bliss. The anime and the ep I watched were both bad.
Elijah Clark
Yet when PAW Patrol and PJ Masks do the same things to get big Zig Forums shits on them.
Adrian Price
Cause they look like fucking shit, the violence is gimped, the jokes are shit and the entire tone is much more stick in the "for kids" ghetto as opposed to PPG where right in the intro you have someone kicked so hard in the face that blood and teeth fly away
Christopher Robinson
The current one isn't the first reboot. The PPGZ is not a reboot, it's just a anime version of PPG because PPG was massive in Japan. The "Dance Dance Special" was the failed reboot and the commonly called "nuPPG" is the current reboot.
Literally none of the PPG post the original had anything to do with McCracken.
Mason Perry
Okay, so there's only one reboot, cuz the anime one is not a reboot and I never saw Dance Dance so idk wtf I saw so it's probably current reboot and it was terrible. Got it.
Hudson Russell
the original had soul
Landon Baker
That musical episode with the fake Jack Black that was never aired in the US because CN thought a background character looked too much like Jesus
Brandon Russell
Extremely small character moments like this were really the icing on the cake
Anthony King
It had the creator the whole time.
Josiah Turner
Was Craig really around in the post movie episodes?
Isaiah Harris
Maybe they should try being funny.
Jace Gomez
This site is STILL around.
Logan Russell
Man, Boomer's name aged like fucking milk.
Samuel Flores
He was there for the entire run of the original.
Bentley Torres
Even the last season or two of the original show had nothing to do with McCracken.
Daniel Barnes
It had heart. Thou did have some shit episodes.
Lucas Bell
Also a pretty colorful and memorable rogues gallery. OG PPG had lots of fun and iconic baddies.
Dominic Hernandez
Animation on that sequence makes me think it's a CN add rather than an episode.
Charles Gray
Kids are cruel, Jack. And I’m very in touch with my inner child.
Gabriel Davis
I unironically believe it's just from nostalgia.
Jack Campbell
It's one of the got milk? ads that were present in every franchise of the 90s
youtube.com
My favorites were the CN ads with the two black dudes.
Luis Ramirez
Oh really? You mean the fabled "Zombie PPG" era? Huh, didn't know. I thought he stayed until the very end.
Oliver Flores
>Buttercup loves it with Banana
Good girl
Jordan Hughes
Then you’re retarded since I just watched the first 3 seasons of PPG for the first time a year ago and loved it
Owen Morris
What the fuck did he mean by this
