Title: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 12, 2008, 01:10:37 PM Teen Wolf
Back when cartoons were mainly on Saturday morning, I used to watch this every week. I hadn't seen the movie yet at the time so I didn't realize it wasn't based on it too much after all with the grandparents and sister. Suddenly teen wolf tried to hide his werewolfism instead of flaunting it and getting chicks like in the movie. Hehehe rockin soundtrack too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYi89ALQszI Title: Re: Teen Wolf Cartoon Post by: Mr. DS on January 12, 2008, 07:33:48 PM I love the 80s because of stuff like this. Every movie seemed to get a cartoon. For example;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iv82iJ_MT4 Title: Re: Teen Wolf Cartoon Post by: HappyGilmore on January 12, 2008, 09:21:16 PM Back to The Future Cartoon- This debuted in 1991.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dWeOqWa3-ZM I used to love the Bill and Ted Cartoon, as well as this and Teen Wolf. Hell, even Hulk Hogan had a cartoon. Title: Re: Teen Wolf Cartoon Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 13, 2008, 09:24:52 AM Damn ...I remember those. Didn't Police Academy have a cartoon? Punky Brewster, MC Hammer, and Mr. T too -they all had one.
Title: Re: Teen Wolf Cartoon Post by: HappyGilmore on January 13, 2008, 11:44:15 AM Hammerman starring MC Hammer- I watched.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=w8WYh8uz3pQ New Kids on the Block- Sadly, I too watched. http://youtube.com/watch?v=bzLllGfGiyQ Toxic Crusaders- Toxic Avenger cartoon, I watched. http://youtube.com/watch?v=roq0lQ43dlQ Attack of the Killer Tomatoes- Yes this had a cartoon. More or less followed Return. I watched. No wonder I'm so screwed up. http://youtube.com/watch?v=36NgK-vJc1M Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Killer Bees on January 14, 2008, 07:39:34 PM PowerPuff Girls tops my list of bad cartoons. And I'm assuming "bad" in this case means awful instead of the opposite.
Yugioh! Is another I couldn't stand as well as Pokemon. And that one with the character Goku and the like. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mr. DS on January 14, 2008, 07:59:57 PM I should state I used to watch the following...
Beverly Hills Teens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4AjEZy7J6M Filmation's Ghostbusters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0hCwHTg4mY Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: RCMerchant on January 14, 2008, 08:51:18 PM The animation in cartoons...especially in the 60's 70's and 80's was pretty dam lame.
Here's one based on the movie FANTASTIC VOYAGE... http://youtube.com/watch?v=tgnNU_F7I-Q ...here's SHAZZAN! I kinda liked him...I even had a coloring book AND a lunch box with SHAZZAN on it... http://youtube.com/watch?v=oT0rGLGlN00 and..of course..."KING KONG-you know the name of KING KONG! Ten times as big as a man!!!" http://youtube.com/watch?v=X6rrIlc0Fgs Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on January 14, 2008, 09:19:54 PM The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang- Never saw this myself, but damn.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=WtW6wS3z97Q ProStars-Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky as crime fighters. http://youtube.com/watch?v=px5njG8ikvo Captain Planet- I Loved this show. It wasn't 'terrible', but still. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vpXM9bj-WPU Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 15, 2008, 12:50:58 PM The Gary Coleman Cartoon
Beetlejuice Herculoids Jem Inhumanoids M.A.S.K. Robotix Biker Mice from Mars Thundar the Barbarian Heathcliff Flying House Hulk Hogan's Rock n Wrestling Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mr. DS on January 15, 2008, 06:17:06 PM Quote Thundar the Barbarian karma for this one. I have to get around to doing some more reviews of this one. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: AndyC on January 15, 2008, 11:34:09 PM The Mighty Hercules springs immediately to mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAMm7XwdD_M And Rocket Robin Hood is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkYaauQkSFc And just to add to the ABC sitcoms getting crappy cartoons, here's Laverne and Shirley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZGA47K0MZU And crappiest of all, the kinder, gentler Tom and Jerry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP60kmd8fYU Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 16, 2008, 10:56:04 AM I always hated the rehash versions of almost every earlier cartoon. Like "...& Son" crap. I remember Popeye & Son, The Pink Panter and Son, etc,. I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few travesties.
Other cartoons from memory: Oh ...almost forgot about the Pac-Man cartoon -that was bad. My sister watched My Little Pony, Carebears, and Strawberry Shortcake. Then there was that Meatloaf cartoon, Meatballs and Spagetti, Pandamonium, and who could forget the Hanna Barberra stuff like Captain Caveman and the like. Speaking of the big shows, let's not forget the obligatory Superfriends 70s-style, The Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats, Silverhawks, and Voltron.

Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: AndyC on January 17, 2008, 12:00:35 PM This one is completely baffling. I'm surprised I didn't think of it sooner.

Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: AndyC on January 17, 2008, 10:04:19 PM Ah, you did. Guess I missed that one the first time.
Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 18, 2008, 10:00:14 AM Hahaha forgot all about that one - thanks for the memory...I think. For some reason, I just remembered that good ol' Chuck Norris had his own cartoon. And I also remember watching the Rambo cartoon before school when I was little.

goober and the ghost chasers Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: peter johnson on January 19, 2008, 12:35:50 PM Nobody here mentions the worst of the worst:
Clutch Cargo & Space Angel!! I'm sure clips exist on YouTube somewhere -- they have everything. Both series featured non-moving cartoon drawings, static in every respect but for the mouth, which were the mouths of real people . . . Had to be seen to be believed -- Was current when I was in Kindergarten, so 1960-61 or so. Plots included ripoffs of The Lost World, so appealed to the dinosaur-lover in us all, but even the dinosaurs were static. Featured an annoying dog drawing -- can't call it a character --: A dachshund called Paddlefoot. Nothing else named here comes close to these anomolies, though I was reminded of Space Angel by the eye-patch wearing guy in the Fantastic Voyage clip here, as Space Angel also sported a eye-patch. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Dennis on January 19, 2008, 02:10:13 PM (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q122/DENNISDURWARDHAMMOND/space_angel11.jpg) Space Angel (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q122/DENNISDURWARDHAMMOND/clutchcargo.jpg) Clutch Cargo I remember seeing these two on TV, they were awful, the stories were okay it's just that the only animation was the character's mouths. Their lips moved up and down when they spoke but didn't match any thing they said, they just moved up and down. My own personal pick would be Johnny Quest, I remember thinking that any kids who cause this much trouble for their family should be the victims of a justifiable homicide by their parents. (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q122/DENNISDURWARDHAMMOND/JQTeam.jpg) I think that it's hilarious that the guy on the left in the red shirt, Race Bannon was given the "Mother of the Year" award by the Cartoon Network for risking his life repeatedly to save Johnny and Haji from some scrape they'd gotten themselves into. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Yaddo 42 on January 19, 2008, 04:18:58 PM I actually like Jonny Quest, it was one of the few cartoons I remeber where even when edited for later reruns, it was pretty clear that people actually died. Plus it lead decades later to The Venture Bros. show, which has great fun with that show and fanboydom in general.
I remember way too many of the shows from the 70s and 80s, and saw plenty of 60s shows in reruns on Cartoon Network. They may not match the level of crap of Clutch Cargo, but you can only see so many bad shows before this modern era. Besides they make up in breadth of lousy for what they can't match in depth of lousy. I am waiting for Hollywood to try a live action Thundarr the Barbarian any day now, it seems like the perfect fodder for the remake machine. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on January 19, 2008, 10:41:01 PM Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get A Clue- I LOVE Scooby, but this is, ugh.

Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on January 21, 2008, 12:52:35 PM Gilligan's Planet-The Professor builds a spaceship and somehow, the castaways land on a deserted planet.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=W3phU8cFbCw&feature=related The Brady Kids- People in the '70s must have been on all sorts of like, mushrooms or something. Again, I like the Brady Bunch, but c'mon.

I liked their action series as a kid, including the live action ones (which have good kitsch value when seen now), cheap and repetative as they were. But I hated this show, think it aired on CBS, and liked little that they aired after that, I guess times were changing and the kind of cartoons they were making changed too.
Hated Grape Ape also, more than most HB stuff. You were supposed to side with him since he was an overgrown simpleton who didn't know his own strength. Yet he was constantly making a nuisance of himself, with his little dog buddy to say it was the other person's fault.

Who doesn't love food that fights each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HZU3hKrjPo How this didn't get mentioned is beyond me. I mean, it's a bad T.V. show based on a bad movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZKW8FylTIA&NR=1 And of course this one, which is a bad show, based of a bad remake of a bad movie. So it had to be listed. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: AndyC on January 22, 2008, 07:55:44 AM I thought the Deanzilla cartoon was actually better than the movie it was based on. And I got a kick out of the way they also based it on the old Godzilla cartoon with the scientists on a boat.
The old cartoon suffered from the same thing most of them do. They're adapting material that isn't all that suitable for a weekly cartoon. So they write an entirely new show around familiar characters, throw in the obligatory comic relief animal and we all go "WTF?" And what's the deal with the animals? Did anybody like Godzookie? Or Mr. Cool? Or Squealy the Pig? Or Mork's stupid alien dog? I hated them all, and I don't remember any of my friends liking any of them either. Yet somebody obviously felt they were essential. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Mortal Envelope on January 22, 2008, 10:40:28 AM Ah Galaxy Trio - I remember them well - they could do "anything" - we used to watch this in college, pick a character, and play drinking games. Yeah forgot about Gozilla and Godzooki; I used to watch that back in first grade I think.
More bad bad cartoons; shirt tales, snorks, Blue Falcon and Wonder Mutt, Flinstone Kids Just Say No Special, Top Cat, the Hair Bear Bunch, Turbo (kid could turn into a car), Gobots, Bravestar(?), and Centurians.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=g-WgF5jGVdA Also: Where's Waldo? had a cartoon. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: BlackAngel75 on January 30, 2008, 02:13:25 AM Y'all are just making a brother go back in the days. There also a time when channel 9 (in NY) had some cartoons as well. One that I remember was Sky Surfers. I remember one of the surfers had one of the coolest names ever: Crazy Stunts.
Some others off the top of my head (some probably have been mentioned before) Galaxy High King Arthur and The Knights of Justice Big Foot Dinosaucers Spiral Zone Inhumanoids Muppet Babies Turbo Teen Zoltan C.O.P.S, a.k.a. Cyber C.O.P.S. ("It's Crime Fighting Times) Wasn't there a time in the early 80's where cartoons were based on Atari games like Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Q-bert? The cartoons I don't like was Spider-Man on FOX for being too "kid friendly" and a show called "Skeleton Warriors" Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on January 30, 2008, 09:45:10 AM I wouldn't say that Muppet Babies is a bad cartoon, but that's my opinion.
Here's one though: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FZ44uvlrHHQ ALF Tales. Basically it's a spinoff of a spinoff. ALF spun off into a cartoon called ALF: The Animated Series, then they spun that off to ALF Tales, which was basically Alf and his cartoon pals in fairy tale stories. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Patient7 on January 30, 2008, 05:38:19 PM Wasn't there a time in the early 80's where cartoons were based on Atari games like Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Q-bert? There was a Donkey Kong in the mid to late 90's, 3-D and not too good. I think I remember from my early childhood watching both a Mask and Ace Ventura cartoon, Ghostbusters also. All of these were great movies that were cut down!!! I used to love Beetlegeuce (is that how it's spelled???)

Never saw that before. I knew that and Rangers were based off Japanese shows, and I've seen some of the Japanese "Sentai" clips that Rangers are from.

Title: very Bad Cartoons Post by: Xenorama on February 28, 2008, 02:39:49 PM Family Guy
Harvey Birdman Space Ghost talk show anything Scooby doo related Stuper Friends Sealab 2021 David Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: clockworkcanary on February 28, 2008, 03:36:59 PM Well, I know Family Guy gets a lot of hate, but I personally like it with all its nonsensical retroculture references. Sure it's not the greatest thing in the world as some people like to think but I think it's leaps and bounds above cartoons like "Hammerman" or "Police Academy"
And Scooby Doo, although not my cup of tea, was definitely over with the kids especially when it had a bazillion knock-offs. And when Space Ghost Coast to Coast first came out, it was a hoot. Now the original, on the other hand, definitely belongs in this thread. But you have a good edition with the Stuperfriends - damn that show was absolutely stupid! Talk about dumbed-down for the kids! Now Justice League, on the other hand, was a great show and I wish they'd make more of those.

The 'Owner' was a classic classic case of Rage. What studio produced this?
Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: BTM on March 15, 2008, 11:14:46 PM Hey! I thought Inhumanoids was awesome! It had ZOMBIES man! How many cartoons back then had ZOMBIES in them? :) Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: BTM on March 15, 2008, 11:33:57 PM You know, as a kid I really didn't like the Jem cartoon, but looking back on it as an adult, I can at least appreciate what they were trying to do, that is, create a cartoon starring females for a change and trying to appeal to that market.
I thought Superdave was a pretty stupid cartoon, but maybe I was just mad because it came on after X-Men and I wished that series was a full hour. YuGiOh. Oh, God! I don't see how ANYONE can watch this crap. I mean, I know all cartoons are commercials for toys, but this one doesn't even bother to hid it. It's like watching someone else play card games all ep. "Oh, yeah? Well, I hit you with my Spear of Death card! (Available in stores now!)" Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Patient7 on March 16, 2008, 04:36:38 PM Karma for you BTM! This show shows that no generation has any dignity unil they are 27. Why? Babies can't use the bathroom, toddlers can't use complete sentences, kids can't get their mind out of the gutter and put down the stupid Yu Gi Oh cards, teenagers can't stop thinking about doing the inevitable nasty, college students can't stop partying, then you're matured, then you're so old you can't take care of yourself. Keep in mind that this doesn't refer to EVERYONE in the age group, just the majority.
Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: BTM on March 16, 2008, 10:25:15 PM I saw a clip of the Karate Kid cartoon on TV recently (not sure if it was mentioned) and wouldn't ya know it, last night the original Karate Kid movie was on too. I don't remember there being a cartoon though...I was surprised. Dude! I saw an ep of that.. from what I understand, the Karate Kid and that Asian fellow (Miyagi, I think?) we're having to track down these ancient Chinese lantern antique things that had various mystical powers. (In one ep, one of them turns Daniel six inches tall.) I wish I were making this up. Course, guess they figure the plot of the films wouldn't make for a good half hour series...

Even when I was a little kid. The characters were really stupid and boring, and the worst thing of all about it was that the monsters never ended up being real. What a lame show that was. The old Looney Tunes cartoons were always my favorite as a kid. Now my favorite is South Park.

The old Looney Tunes cartoons were always my favorite as a kid. Now my favorite is South Park. You should try to find episodes of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo. It was a mid '80s shows based around Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Shaggy and a new kid (named Flim-Flam) who accidentally open a chest, releasing 13 real ghosts. There's no people in costumes on this one. In fact, their mentor is Vincent Van Ghoul, played by Vincent Price. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qJaEB0zSM6U Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: the ghoul on March 28, 2008, 09:58:54 AM hmmm,... never heard of that one

But your remark reminded me of a question that I haven't been answered yet. What was in those Scooby Sacks? Think about it, the only people on the show that eat them are the TALKING DOG and the STONER (believe me, he's a stoner, listen to him talk). Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: renzino on May 06, 2008, 03:40:31 PM I actually like a lot of the cartoons that have been listed.
Especially several of the ones from the 80s. I might be in the minority but I loved Filmation's Ghostbusters. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: JJ80 on June 01, 2008, 04:35:21 PM Didn't there used to be a Roseanne Barr related cartoon called something like "Little Rosie" back in the nineties?
Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Pacman000 on April 25, 2012, 12:46:51 PM Wasn't there a time in the early 80's where cartoons were based on Atari games like Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Q-bert? There was a Donkey Kong in the mid to late 90's, 3-D and not too good. I think I remember from my early childhood watching both a Mask and Ace Ventura cartoon, Ghostbusters also. All of these were great movies that were cut down!!! I used to love Beetlegeuce (is that how it's spelled???) Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: crackers on April 30, 2012, 03:33:31 PM I love a lot of the cartoons that have been mentioned.

Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: 66Crush on May 13, 2012, 03:29:54 AM I think there are some good lessons to be learned here.
1. Never do a cartoon spin-off of a popular TV Show: Gilliagan's Island, The Dukes of Hazzard, etc. 2. Never give a celebrity his own cartoon, just because he's a celebrity: Mr.T, Garry Coleman. 3. Never bring back beloved characters as children: Muppet Babies, Flintstone Kid's, A Pup Named Scooby Doo. 4. Never do cartoon based on a video game: Pac-man, Donkey Kong, etc. 5. To quote Hal Spark's never "Give 'em a monkey and send them to space." The p***ycats in Outer Space. 6. Never let Tom and Jerry be friends. 7. Never let adult characters speak in a Peanuts cartoon, have you ever seen "It's the Pied Piper Charlie Brown?" It's an unholy abomination! 8. Warm cuddly characters like the Care Bears and Rainbow Brite, will turn your child into a serial killer! Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on May 13, 2012, 10:20:50 AM 3. Never bring back beloved characters as children: Muppet Babies, Flintstone Kid's, A Pup Named Scooby Doo. I agree with all your points, except this one. Muppet Babies and A Pup Named Scooby Doo were spectacular.Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Pacman000 on May 14, 2012, 10:58:36 AM Quote 4. Never do cartoon based on a video game: Pac-man, Donkey Kong, etc. There were some cartoons I liked based on video games, like The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic X, or Pokemon. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: 66Crush on May 14, 2012, 03:27:06 PM I'm 40 so my frame of reference is Pac Man and Donkey Kong. But I remember that Pokemon was huge when I worked in the Kmart's toy dept in the late 90's. I never watched it, but kids by the dozens were coming in asking for the toys.
Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: Pacman000 on May 16, 2012, 06:01:38 PM I'm 40 so my frame of reference is Pac Man and Donkey Kong.

Neither Pokemon nor The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog are good shows (unless you count campiness), but they were fun. In fact, I still find them fun. :smile: I've never seen the Pac-Man show, but I'd like to. If I can enjoy "Pac-Man Fever", it shouldn't be that bad. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: HappyGilmore on May 16, 2012, 08:56:04 PM Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures, The Cartoon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iv82iJ_MT4 Granted, I don't recall a single episode, although I recall watching it. I'm just gonna assume it's bad, although...I did enjoy the films. Title: Re: Bad Cartoons Post by: 66Crush on May 16, 2012, 11:46:39 PM There were a lot of cartoons I probably didn't like when I was a kid, that I would like now. That's because I'm just so nostalgic. I'm always on YouTube trying to track down something I might have only seen once and have just a tiny memory of.
