"If parents and educators could beam messages into kids' heads telling them to stay in school and not do drugs, we wouldn't have shows like Arthur and Franklin. If toy companies could beam messages into kids' heads telling them to buy the latest doll or action figure, we wouldn't have shows like He-Man and Ninja Turtles. If TV writers were clever enough to be stand-up comedians, they wouldn't need to use shows like the Simpsons and South Park to make fun of society."
"If parents and educators could beam messages into kids' heads telling them to stay in school and not do drugs...
ok pedo
Is this his roundabout way of admitting that his work has no actual substance?
writebros...
we got too cocky...
>If TV writers were clever enough to be stand-up comedians, they wouldn't need to use shows like the Simpsons and South Park to make fun of society
Doesn't really hold water when Dane Cook and Jamie Kennedy have successful careers.
How many terabytes of Homemade Porn starring himself and Robin does John K have Zig Forums?
Is he suggesting that Arthur and Franklin were made by dropout stoners?
Its just weird that he had such a contrarian take on the Simpsons back when it was at its best.
Now? Oh yeah, Simpsons is totally a hack job by a bunch of shitty hack job comedians, that complaint's totally valid, and there's something to be said about all these adult animated shows coming out produced by comedians who don't give a shit about cartoons and just see it as an easy voice acting gig.
Back when Simpsons was trailblazing and had fantastic writing AND animation/boarding, why the fuck would he have a take like that?
>If I had 100,000 dollars, I could make a good cartoon.
Because he's a narrow-minded blowhard.
to be fair that's from one of his blogposts which couldn't be older than what, mid 00s? the simpsons already had a few shitty seasons under its belt by then
>we live in a society
Get fucked, John.
Also tons of standup comedians end up getting work as TV writers, including on cartoons.
>standup comedians being the peak of comedy
I usually agree with a bunch of the pedo's statements, but I don't respect standup when compared to any written format of comedy.
>beep boop can only think in Zig Forums memes
If John K could beam his own farts directly into kid's brains there would be no need for Ren & Stimpy
Ok standup comedian
If John K could finish cartoons on time and on budget, he'd still have a viable career in animation.
>we wouldn't have shows like He-Man and Ninja Turtles
The only fags that hate toy commercials are people without imagination, they failed to fill up the blanks the show left for you to make your own story
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think he's right in this quote.
His shows aren't great, but he's right that old Fleischer/Merry Melodies/Looney Tunes type cartoons were made by people who just loved cartoons and had funny ideas, while all these cartoons nowadays are just junk with some ulterior motive
I don't know how effective Ren and Stimpy actually is at standing against that though
If you could beam messages into kids heads telling them what to do, you'd have a whole fucking lot more than the existence of cartoons to be worried about.
Face it John! The animation industry was never in your favor!
If we could beam poop jokes, loud noises, and raunchiness into people's skulls, we wouldn't need Ren and Stimpy.
Read up dotard, if you're seeing this.
You could've had your job in the industry, could've still be making millions, and could've still had friends that were willing to help you out in times like this.
But you were too busy worrying about trying to put in your all out best, when you were already doing a pretty good job for TV animation. People in the real world wanted more media on a more frequent schedule, which is Nick fired you as Ren & Stimpy was at it's peak popularity, and partially why Adult Party Cartoon flopped.
Not to mention, people really do not like being sexually harassed or screamed at. You're just a big mess no one wants to clean up.
Go sit in the mess you have made.
Also, Franklin and Arthur are memorable shows with interesting characters. Fuck you.
What is he getting at?
Cartoons ought to be the domain purely of True Artists like himself.
>That's why my cartoon about kids touching dicks is the best shit on Earth!
Arthur and Franklin handled drug abuse? Did my child mind miss this?
>If my daddy would've given me a hug, I could've become a legend and still working in the animation industry. I wouldn't need validation from teenage girls. Why daddy, why didn't you love me?
John's blog was honestly really insightful.
Why would anyone want to be working in that shit industry? Even the "Legends" that stayed have several problems with it and would crowdfund if they could.
