What is the actual point of making a cartoon that you know will be dated the instant it stops airing? Isn't that a waste on the production company's behalf? Ideally, you WANT something that holds up over time and you can throw in for reruns here and there, right?

Are there any actual clever jokes about trump in this or is it more of the same joke over and over
Your mistake is thinking it’s made for comedy or entertainment and not for propaganda purposes
How will they continue this show when Trump loses in two weeks? Are they planning to do Biden after that or just cancel it? Spitting Image is funnier anyway.
This. Money is not the goal
user, you're forgetting something:
ORANGE MAN BAD
that's the only thing that matters.
Another question, why are all those cartoons unfunny, while they are based on the most ridiculous clown presidents.
Is it before the reality is just way more unpredictable and funny?
gr8 b8
The humor is like nuFamily Guy where they just state things happening or say the opposite of an intelligent thing and that's so funny because we, the audience, know that's wrong. But they do it while shouting.
I'd be down with that, fuck em all.
>Our Cartoon President
Could essentially be anyone. Not like Lil Bush where it's tied to Bush. But I doubt this show gets good enough ratings to keep itself going to span multiple president seasons.
Honestly I don’t think Trump-related media will be dated until a very long time from now. He’s already established a memorable legacy just due to the sheer absurdity of the circumstances surrounding his presidency, as well as just the absurdity of him as a person and his support base.
I'm voting for Biden because I think Biden will be better for white people than Trump.
It's animated in what looks like flash or some other program. Probably cheap to make. It gives attention and money NOW. Later doesn't matter. It's a quick cash in. That's it. Taking advantage of the now and what people are thinking about. To a lesser degree you could look at all the Scooby doo clones of the late 70s and early 80s.
To sell commercials now. Why do you gotta act like every piece of media has to be some eternal archive-quality relic? It’s fucking cheap media, get a grip you guys, you can’t go on insisting nothing makes sense based on your own wrong idea
At least they didn’t wait until Trump was on the last year of his second term like the Bush show did, these shows have a lot of problems there quickly made due to needing to be relevant sometimes that causes you to not get the full details of an event. Also you end up making the person your mocking more likable cause who wants to follow a show with characters you can’t stand and that hurts you message
I think that Biden in the show is funnier than Trump in a dementia kind of way, so I guess it could work.
It’s astounding to me you think that, it’s to sell commercials to a large Democrat audience that the party has been building for decades. It’s a paying audience
>propaganda
Propaganda is meant to sway people and make them see things in a way you want them to see them. If you hate or love whatever president is elected right now, you don't need a cartoon to tell you otherwise. The people watching this cartoon have already decided they hated Trump, so it's not really propaganda.
I mean, he is pretty bad. Not even Zig Forums likes him anymore.
At least with Scooby Doo and Pokemon and whatever clones, you know the company is TRYING to make one that sticks. They throw a bunch at the wall and hope one of them gets an audience that lets them build a franchise. I can only imagine the people working on Our Cartoon President anticipate the, "You're cancelled" call every fucking day.
I mean....he is though?
You can throw shit at libs and democrats all you want, they've got real problems. Trump's still a dumb asshole who should not be allowed to run a country.
>I don’t get it?!? What’s going on, what are they thinking??!? Is this an attack? Are they coordinating against me? Who’s trying to fool who here? Don’t they know it won’t last?! Why would they even TRY this? It’s a trick! And they’re so stupid! They don’t even get it!
It’s one of many comedy shows for people who don’t like the president. It sells commercials. Get over yourselves
Oh yeah, Our Cartoon President is no spin-off anime of a toy series, I mean what were they thinking, trying to joke about current events instead of selling a cards with pictures of fake animals on them.
>It sells commercials.
I doubt it.
>they've got real problems
>Trump's still a dumb asshole
Pretty much sums up all retarded lefties right here.
>”We have ACTUAL problems like deep-rooted, dynastic corruption and selling out our country to communists and terrorists...b-b-but Orange Man hurt my fee fees one time!”
Trump is a case of dynastic corruption
I mean the shows probably not very good but how long are you going to keep acting like nothing makes sense to you?
Compare them to something like Nixon in Futurama, where he was portrayed as an unrelenting monster, but the writers were obviously more concerned with writing a funny character than slandering him. A lot of people telling Trump jokes are just doing it out of anger and not because they legitimately think he's good comedy.
>dated=bad
Are you memeing?
That all being said, the characiture and impression are bad and one thousand times less funny than Spitting Image which does actually pull off this comedy excellently
>large Democrat audience
You admit this is just a "cheap cashgrab" . What's more believable, that these people are so retarded that they'll pay for garbage like this, continue to pay for similar garbage, yet somehow keep finding the spending money despite being so retarded as to be continually ripped off, or that money was never the point?
Propaganda has many purposes, converting people is the least of them.
If you constantly fill all mainstream media with a certain opinion then most of a neutral audience will accept it implicitly eventually.
Take for example. Trump is racist.
A higher percentage believes that than a percentage who could actually name something he’s specifically done that’s racist. Specifically because they just hear others claim it or imply it and accept it as truth.
I can't fucking wait for Biden to win so all of this trump shit will be over. No more Colbert "DRUMMPF BAAD LAUGH" No more snarky actors lecturing their followers on social media, and no more of this shit right here: Just end this shit already
They’ve been talking about this for decades, if something is about current events they don’t like it because they really only prefer to invest attention into things they can permanently pay attention to, like Pokemon or any number of thirty years old kids media they’ve dedicated a lifetime to out of laziness. The idea of continuously engaging with something is scary to them and is the very reason they flee to comfortable old media anyways
If you think communists are a legitimate threat to US stability then you’re retarded. It’s literal fearmongering from the right-wing establishment to distract you from actual issues like big pharma, the opioid crisis, and then selling out of our national labor and information to foreign interests and evil corporations.
Not that the Dems would actually do anything to fix any of that shit, but Trump has done everything he can to actively worsen those problems.
Animaniacs making pop culture references is different than if the Animaniacs were Bill Clinton's children and it was six seasons dealing with the Clinton administration during his run from the POV of the kids.
Yeah, that's why they keep costs to a minimum for maximum profit. Like an evil Clutch Cargo.
I’m just saying there’s no reason to keep blubbering that you don’t understand it, asking all these leading rhetorical questions instead of just knowing it’s a trashy political show that’s not even as successful as it’s competitors
>shit
>shit
>shit
Learn how to be coherent with your sentences retard
Can't you go be a pedophile somewhere else?
Yes, it is, but Animaniacs is still dated as fuck so your point doesn't stand.

Imagine using the same phrase twice in rapid succession and by expecting to be called out on samefagging?
Question, would the things you decry occur under communism? Would it occur under Hitler's national socialism?
Wonder what they'll do with the Trump character once he's no longer relevant.
Not every piece of media needs to stick.
Based centrist
>Still dated as fuck
Bet you think Looney Tunes is dated.
>but Trump has done everything he can to actively worsen those problems.
Why do you believe this? It's so sad people think they're objective centrists and then just repeat the same deluded shit.
This exactly, all art is a reflection of life and is necessarily dated by the time period in which it was produced. Some stories and images are certainly more timeless than others, but references to contemporary events and personalities are part and parcel of art
>What is the actual point of making a cartoon that you know will be dated the instant it stops airing?
FUN FACT: The majority of entertainment is disposable and only meant to be consumed once then forgotten about. Consider all those vacuous sitcoms you watched passively one evening and maybe vaguely remember the plot of certain episodes but otherwise have no strong, detailed memories of. Or how many of the songs on any given album are forgettable and you only ever listen to once when you going through the whole thing.
That's 99% of all entertainment. You watch/read/listen to it once and then move on.
