Cartoon gripe/Sidekicks you want to kill

[N. E. Moses]

I got a small bone to pick here. First of all, I like Japaness cartoons very much, but almost every anime I watch, all the mechs, magicians, and metahume, all have to call out there moves before they do them.  For example, Dragon Ball Z--
Goku has to, HAS TO, say "Kamayamaya" before he actually does it.  My question is: why?

Also, as complete opposite to the "Great Second Banana" post, which sidekick do you want to see blown up to four corners of the earth, to be thrown of the Empire States Building, then the twin towers (World Trade Center, for all you non-New Yorkers), then the Sear Towers.  I got one: What have you seen Snarf do in Thundercats, instead of whine and saying "Snarf, snarf" after every sentence.

Which cartoon sidekick would I'd like to kill?

One word:

Scrappy.

Snarf from Thundercats... killing him wouldn't make the Thundercats cartoon any good, but I really, really hate that character.

The reason why Goku yells out "KAMAYAMAYA" (by the way thats spelt wrong but I can't find the correct spelling in any of the DB comics I have) is that it gives him a boost of energy.

Its the same thing when someone throws a football or a javelin. Its gives a quick boost of energy.

I think I saw Snarf take a big ole smelly s**t once in an episode!

One TV show I can't even stand and for some sick demented reason won't ever be pulled is MEGA BABIES on Teletoon.

I'm proud of my self for watching Cannibal Ferox, Cannibal Holocaust, The Men Behind the Sun Series, Guiena Pig Series, and a couple of Faces of Death videos but I cannot watch 5 minutes of this show!!

Its absolutely disgusting, the characters are constantly puking, farting, snot running out of their noses and s**tting themselves. AND THIS SHOW IS MEANT FOR KIDS!!! WTF!!!!

I think the spelling is Kamehameha, like the Hawaiian king.

In a show like Dragonball Z, I can understand the shouting, because it's sort of an extention of the martial arts. Shouting helps to focus the effort, and can also throw off an opponent's concentration. Actually, I stopped watching this show a while ago, because of the investment of time required. It takes weeks of daily viewing to get through the simplest of stories. It's not even that the show is complex, just padded out with lots of fighting, people reacting to the fighting, and an occasional irrelevant subplot.

I agree that it makes no sense for the pilot of a giant fighting robot to shout the name of a weapon before using it. I don't believe I've seen many verbally controlled robots. In all of the Force Five robots, we see things controlled by buttons and levers (surprisingly few), yet it seems necessary to announce each weapon. I think this is done more for the benefit of the audience than anything else. It sounds pretty cool, even if it doesn't make sense.

On the subject of hated sidekicks, I'd have to list every kid thrown into a team of superheroes, space adventurers or whatever. This is just too far fetched and annoying. Is this done in order to give the kids in the audience someone to relate to, or possibly to give them the illusion that they, too could be adventurers? It doesn't work. Kids have a better sense of realism than most people give them credit for, and I don't think they want to watch other kids. I hated the token kid on most shows when I was that age, and I still do. This goes for cartoons and live-action shows.

Ash from Pokemon (and don't start telling me that he's the hero. kids just tune into see Pikarat).
I wanna see him go up against our man Ash (Evil Dead).

"Pikachu! Thunder Shock!"
"Piiiikkkkaaacc*"
BLAM
"Got ya, didn't ya you little sucker?!"

I need help.

I always wanted to see the Scooby-Doo gang go up against Jason.
Shaggy: "Aw, Scoob, it's just a guy in a hockey mask, see? GggYAAAAAGHKK!"
Daphne: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Thunk!

I need help, too.

I'm with ya there. I always imagined myself as the adult hero....who wanted to be a Kid? As a kid, you know, at some level, that your not up to the same level of endevor as adults. You'll get there, but the imagining is part of that reperation process. Kid side kicks are a useless pain. Spank their hinders, and send them home till they hit at least 18!

I would like to see Buma and Goko's wife and all the Power Rangers the first ones and the last ones and thier copycats blown to bits. I hate them all The Power Rangers and thier copcats sucks  with thier fack martial arts I would like to see them up against Bruce Lee if he was alive. And for Buma she's a retard to yell at the Z fighters don't she realize they can kill her in a heartbeep and that goes to Goko;s wife don't she realize him and thier son and friends have to save the earth all the time!

I think one of the side kicks you are missing, and I still loath to this day. Uni, from the old Dungeuns and Dragons cartoon. I always wanted to feed him consentrated acid, watch him melt from within.

[Chris1]

I forgot someone Dexter's sister Dee Dee what a big annoying moron.

[Chris1]

I know that these girls aren't sidekicks but they are annoying the crap out of me The Powderpuff Girls I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate those stupid commercials with real life women acting like them and why is it they always be bullies to the people and kids of their city? I wish they get killed a slow painfull horrorable death.
