TMNT still around while Woody is only relevant in Brazil, Flinstones only through cereal and vitamins, Dennis the Menace only known via /34/ As for the Network Exchange? Dust in the wind.

Are there still ads like this within otherwise silly industries? Do they still come off this aggressive/desperate?
As someone who attends the Game Developer Conference every year, this sentiment is pretty consistent from western developers towards eastern. Either ignoring them, mocking them, or seething against them.
That's interesting. Got any good stories or examples?
So I attended the GANG (Game Audio Network Guild) Awards this year, and there wasn't a single eastern game nominated. Not one. All western. And the fricking game to sweep was Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, of all things, with seven awards. Nearly the same with The Game Developers Choice Awards. If you imagine stuff like The Game Awards being embarrassing, or western-centric, the smaller award shows are that, but worse, because there's less money, and less expectations for scrutiny, so they can jerk themselves off.
>there wasn't a single eastern game nominated.
Good.
I mean there were clear omissions. At The Game Awards in 2023, Hi-Fi Rush won Best Audio. Period. And it wasn't nominated for anything in an audio specific award show.
The Developers Choice Awards was also split between the most generic AAA slop, and parody level diversity indie games.
Hey, you wanna get into a rabbit hole? Tommy Tallarico helped found the organization.
Now there's a name I haven't read in a while.
>Tommy Tallarico helped found the organization.
ROFL that's even worse when you know what a scumbag liar he is.
>GANG (Game Audio Network Guild) Awards
It sounds like a fake award show.
Plenty of industries have award nights you've never heard of. My company has a few.
I see. Afraid to take the mogging. Any official media like the OP that reeks of seethe?
I seem to remember a several-page comic advertisement in EGM (?) for one of the lesser of the first CD consoles (turbografx CD?) where the mascot was ranting that they had Sherlock Holmes MONTHS before [competitors].
Found it, Johnny Turbo
Turbo cope!
Anyway why did Scooby-Doo doo outlast most of the other hb properties? Just wondering.
I think it's because it was the one they kept reincarnating for whatever reason. Young Scooby-Doo, live-action stuff, etc.
Spooky Monsters are evergreen, and Scooby hit on a winning formula
Ah yes, the famous video game character, Sherlock Holmes.
>he's looks like a modern video game and pop culture nerd
How did they know?
Nerd is eternal
I mean, it is a little, in the way that anything is going to be derivative of what came first
But the Turbografx-CD was originally an add on, I have one. The Turboduo is a sexy console but Sega had its equivalent all-in-one with the Sega CDX
Would you clean the shit out of your eyes already? They released SHERLOCK HOLMES on CD almost TWO YEARS AGO!!
What's the appeal of a CD add-on, either for the Turbografx or the Sega Genesis? Is it worth collecting or just junk with a bunch of fmv games?
Are you asking about the appeal back then or now?
Back then
It worked with a CD! It had more bits! It was EXTREME
CDs had more storage than cartridges did, so there was potential for bigger games on them. And as one anon mentioned, they could put actual video on them.
Which lead to a bunch of games that were basically just interactive mpegs where if you pressed the correct button at the correct time the good next scene would play and if you didn't the bad one would.
CDs could hold film quality cut scenes and high resolution audio tracks.
Video game awards are the cringiest shit. Movie and music award shows are completely hollow and pointless gestures but they have a paper thin veneer of prestige due to history and some tattered remnants of celebrity culture. Video game awards are several rungs below even that and just come off as embarrassingly tacky.
lmao giving audio awards to western games sounds nuts.
That's like the one part where the japanese outdo the rest by an insane margin all the time.
How is that anyone seething? You just sound burthurt your asian bug shit didn't get nominated.
t. seething
See? You literally can't stop being butthurt about it.
>no, u
It was nonsensical, even by industry standards. Like I said, Hi-Fi Rush won Best Audio at The Game Awards for 2023, and this was an audio award show for 2023. Not a single nomination for it.
Also, here's something fun.
>G.A.N.G. will present its Lifetime Achievement Award to interactive industry veteran Steve Schnur, Worldwide President of Music & Marketing for Electronic Arts since 2001
They dedicated like, 15 minutes to sucking this guy's dick off, with a video of celebrities praising him. From audio people like Hans Zimmer, to just randos like Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Now what won Audio of the Year, and swept with the most awards?

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Published by? Electronic Arts.
I remember all the seething by western game devs when Elden Ring came out and was a massive success
>Game Developer Conference
That convention has scared off all the real devs in the last ten years and now you go there to network and there is one real dev for every 30 marketing c**ts/"community managers"/grifter jobs pretending to be devs and getting assmad when you ask them what they did on a certain game.
There's always been a seethe over JP games there for some godforsaken reason (insecurity imo) but the non-devs are far more ardent about it, probably because the nips refuse to hire people like them.
Man it's something else to see the underlying rabid seething of Western devs to asian ones. Except for Nintendo getting a pass out of childhood nostalgia they really fricking hate them. Hence why there was a lot more bitterness behind Zanzibart even though it was an entirely clever (and true) take. Besides nintendo at best they have this colonialist mentality of wanting to get in and take over japanese devs. I say that having never even fricking played a JRPG besides SNES Mario RPG or XIV (Elden ring's an RPG I guess but you know what I mean).
>Tommy
Oh shit. I can't even remember the other guy he did that show with.
I might be wrong but I feel like the late 80s had the abundance of kids shows. Early 80s and maybe not so much?
I remember nickelodeon or maybe cartoon network got into some kind of beef with the cable company and was going to get their channels shifted around or blocked or something so they got their voice actors to beg kids to make our parents do something.
Found two of them, I guess this happens often kek
AMC was doing that a few years back when TWD was a thing.
cringe
I worked for the government with tourism (under the secretary of tourism of a shit thurd world town) and they got really buttmad after a bus terminal connecting the airport to another town. Both towns are right next to a giant nature reserve, but the town I used to work in was like 150 years older and the ads were dumb shit like "close, but where is the history?" or "the historical center and the bus stop."
The historical center of my town was a small road with some single-storey wattle and daub houses.
I'll assume that you're brazilian.
>Genesis does what Nintendon't!
Of course, what a time to be alive
I know Western animators absolutely SEETHE about anime and it's success.
This one struck me as particularly pathetic:
It's a promo video for a Linux distribution that you have to pay for because it includes proprietary code. So they basically took a free thing, slapped on a coat of paint and tried charging people for it. And if that wasn't pathetic enough already, for some reason they decided that the best way to advertise is to make a parody of "Light My Fire" with shitty Flash animations where they spend most of the time just shitting on Microsoft and Bill Gates.
>Are there still ads that make GRANDIOSE claims to SELL THINGS?????
What a fricking stupid question. Goddamn low IQ zoomers
Read the question again, dumb twat. I'm asking if the gloves still come off today like they did during the console wars, when brands decided it was more profitable to be edgy by calling out your competitors by name, "class" be damned. Pretending cynicism is experience is what makes me think you're an actual zoomer.
The milk industry is currently kvetching over alternative milk products. One recent ad had Aubrey Plaza attempting to dismay almond milk.
Flintstones is absolutely still famous.
People know who they are, yes. That doesn't mean people still watch them.
nobody is actually watching TMNT either
Have you been living under a rock for the past, what, 10 years?
Modern kids watch tiktok and shorts all day.
Only manchildren watch cartoons.
If FTA TV here had random Flintstones eps on late at night I probably would
Maybe not raving, but more kids watch the old cartoons than you think.
The property is famous, but it's not like there's a new show people are tuning into, or that people are raving about the old episodes
There is a new show and it does get decent ratings.
Also woody just got a new live action movie and the dennis the menace reboot is just stuck in production limbo for the time being.
only because of joel
>hat says "KING"
there's layers to this
Also, 王 is read as Wang.
maybe on planet yabba dabba do
Flintstones is evergreen as far as classics go. It may still be boomer/Gen X fodder, but they still remember it fondly and hell, the fact that it's back in syndication nation-wide indicates that it's still popular enough with the old set to be famous.
Woody too
>Flintstones is absolutely still famous.
True statement. Everyone here knows who they are, but exhibit massive COPE with trying to move the goalposts of what you said by arguing against what you didn't say. You never said they were "popular" but everyone is arguing like you did. This board is full of midwits.
Yeah that might have something to do with the fact Fred Flinstone is a cereal mascot and not because people are watching a 50 year old cartoon
I would rather watch the Flintstones than Teenage Mutant Reddit Turtles
HU HU HU HEH HEH
HU HU HU HE HE
HE HE HE HE HE HE
dennis and woody are too high test for today's kids
Is Dennis the Menace still used as a Dairy Queen mascot?
I was wondering too. I never go there because even the small Blizzards are over $4 with tax now
I have been there since 207 or so and I can’t remember if Dennis was displayed anywhere. Maybe they got rid of him when they changed the logo years ago.
*2017
Presumably, Dairy Queen did not exist in 207.
Not for damn near a decade. Possibly even more. I was at a dairy Queen last Saturday to buy a cake for myself. I haven't been seeing Dennis the menace in there since like 2000
What were they thinking when making this character??
They were being dum dums
MMMMM WE DON'T HAVE POLYMASCOTFOAMALATE ON MYYYYYY PLANET HMMM
That's because you're a communist fool, Red.
It was the original Cousin Oliver
>our Honeymooners rip-off has gone on two seasons too long and we need literally anything to spice it up
Dennis the menace still appears in newspapers and the Flintstones are still highly regarded.
TMNT has been raped by that greasy israelite Seth Rogen. Nuff said.
>Honeymooners rip-off
Did they have a patent on loud slobby husband and meek, sarcastic wife? Is according to Jim a honeymooners ripoff as well??
>Is according to Jim a honeymooners ripoff as well??
Yeah
>Let's make some legendary kino
They were thinking they needed some kind of magical being to work in a Jetson's crossover.
Is there where the ancient alien theory originated from?
I only know him from that live action movie, I've never seen him in the cartoon.
It's surprising that nobody's tried to prostitute out the flintstones and jetsons to a new generation
They had some edgy Flintstones comic a few years ago with war and racism in it.
>barney get iSlab
>elroy joins the proud boys
they tried with the live action flinstones movies and failed. the jetsons i dont remember them ever trying
I like this one. Cannon was already a 10+ year old show in 1984 and doing well in the ratings...and here we are in 2024 and Cannon is still on MeTV 5 days a week.
All TV < Frank Cannon's beer gut
Holy fricking soul, please keep these coming
could you actually tell the network to go frick itself and not air a big program in those days?
That fat ugly fricker being the protagonist of an action show is kind of funny to me.
The face of peak action hero performance in the year 197X. The show is amazing to watch, he goes through hell gives and takes beatings, bad guys call him a fat slob and other insults, deals out karate moves (!), wipes out restaurants down his belly, and drives a huge Lincoln.
Reminds of this, MST3K made a meal (heh) out of JDB's physique
hes john q american, at least of the time. average looking, fat, but masculine and tough. thats what people liked then, cant do it now because to appeal to the general public he would have to be half a homosexual
That's the FATMAN from Jake and the Fatmam!
Actually I was just thinking about how Looney Toons blew up morning syndication for years and at some point it just disappeared.
It was removed for being problematic.
I remember being a kid when the flintstones movie came out. All I remember is the McDonalds ads for it. Was a comfy time
Ah my first direct run in with the McRib. Doesn't beat the batman tie ins but hey
Most people will never know what image related was.
Wait a sec, there was a Dennis the Menace cartoon? I've only ever seen the black and white TV show.
The show was better
I can't imagine enjoying the Flinstones as a child. Even by the 80s there were more exciting kids shows.
Before streaming when you're a kid you just watch whatever you can. Yeah as a kid I'd rather watch DBZ or Beast Wars or something but Flintstones was fine if it was on.
I grew up with TV too and it was one of the last things I'd watch. I had all the extra kids channels like Nicktoons though and I'm probably younger than you since those shows weren't on when I was a kid.
Should note that Flintstones was EVERYWHERE.
In particular, it aired mornings and in the afternoon as the cornerstone of the TBS cartoon line-up and was also the last cartoon to air on WGN's afternoon block before they purged it and and replaced it with reruns of prie time dramas;
We watched the re-runs in the 90s on CN
I watched it as a kid because nothing else was on and I can't remember a single episode
Iirc, it even had a laughing track. Hannah Barbera generally sucked.
HB made like 8000 shows and people remember 3 of them and really all of them have fallen out of pop culture in the last 15 years pretty hard.
Just remember the wacky racers and that will get you half of their shows.
The laugh track was added in later runs. HB cartoons were great.
As a kid it seemed weird that cartoons had laughter. “Did they play the cartoon in front of a live audience?” I thought.
It wasn't meant for kids, it was basically that generation's Simpsons/Family Guy. It just happened to appeal to kids because it was animated and relatively milquetoast and inoffensive.
>I can't imagine ANYTHING outside of my bubble
Zoomers in a nutshell
Those three cartoons probably do better than the original TMNT cartoon today, not one of the remake cartoons. You stupid
Zoomers still like Dennis. Where my fellow Dennisheads at??
Dennis the menace has a comic in the newspaper everyday. Or did that finally stop?
Turtles went away and has had huge gaps and the original Turtles cartoon is pretty much only available on DVD to watch as far as not being syndicated anymore.
Woody Woodpecker got axed from TV at the start of the 90s when Fox axed the rerun packages of the show and only now is back on the air as a rerun package on Me TV that no one watches. Dennis the Menace's 80s show is lost media as the DVD set of the show is no longer in print and hasn't aired on TV in decades. Flintstones still gets aired but it's no longer a giant of syndication due ot Warner pulling it from TBS and syndication in general and forcing people to have to subscribe to Cartoon Network and Boomerang to watch it (and it's only just returned to syndication via Me TV).
TMNT was on Nick here recently.
Why do cartoon characters all do this fricking thing?
It looks like the start of a bow
Its a classic stage/vaudeville presentation pose and they are drawn/crafted in a way to present themselves to the audience rather than some magician's assistant or whatever presenting the main feature.
>Turtles come
Hehheh heh
In Kyrgyzstan Flintstones is still popular
Put it in H!
>Dennis the Menace only known via /34/
He's mostly known for the ice creams that carry his name and likeness here in Finland (and other nordics I think). I don't think I've ever even seen an episode of his cartoon.
The US Dennis the Menace always looked so lame compared to pic related
I've always considered the Brit one to be a proper menace. The US one is more like a slight nuisance.
I find it odd that there are two cartoon characters with that name and interestingly both appeared for the first time on the 12th of March 1951.
>I find it odd that there are two cartoon characters with that name and interestingly both appeared for the first time on the 12th of March 1951.
Time Travel frickery.
More like Instance the Menace since time was the true menace all along.
Dennis the Menace was always tame even for its time. The Simpsons even lampooned this.
I bet they made him a lot less of a menace in the later comics.
Nobody except 40 year old boomers remember Teenage Mutant Tortoises or whatever.
they had 3 cartoon reboots, a live action reboot and a israelite reboot you idiot.
Not to mention the dozen or so comics series
They're about as relevant as Power Rangers.
Only the 2k3 and 2012 reboots were any successful. Rise of the TMNT flopped. The Bay movies flopped, Mutant Mayhem barely made bank, and the only comic that sold decent was The Last Ronin.
My point is the franchise has been rebooted so many times that even millennials and broccoli heads are aware about it.
The fact that Mutant Mayhem was poorly received because it was bastardized by Seth Rogen is a different subject. But somehow that shit is getting an animated series as well.
>But somehow
Because Rogen is connected
Wow. I can't even fathom the level of stupidity required to fall for that bait post like you just did!
These characters survive in the form of toys. Of course most kids in the past 10+ years haven't watched cartoons at all.
>Flintstones lasting forever
Meanwhile the show, like all other Hannah Barbara slop, is all references to ancient fricking comedians and sitcoms that no one other than boomers and their parents liked.
Lmao, at least they have their cereals and uh, vitamins?
Remember the two most memorable cartoon characters in animation history?
I don't think I've ever even heard of these two
LMAO who the frick are those two? The cool cat looks like a ripoff of the pink panther.
Meanwhile the ones in the background are still fondly remembered
>Cool Cat
Wow! My belly feels great!
What, was Porky Pig too busy to appear in this ad? Or did he get replaced by a migrant worker?
Does anyone here really enjoy watching those cartoons? I liked a Woody. The Flintstones on the other hand bored me, in retrospect the show dealt with a lot of adult themes.Dennis's cartoon threatens her... Damn, every time he appeared on the screen it devastated me so much; it was the meanest, most heartless shit a child could see.
All the Hanna Barber shit is also boring. Cartoons had a second wind with things like Dexter's Laboratory
i watched the jetsons, Hong Kong Phooey and Secret Squirrel, i didn't care enough about the other shows, i liked Jonny Quest more in the reboot
Rocky and Bullwinkle shit over all 3 in op's image and the entirety of Hanna Barbara's library
Those cartoons suck
Flintstones is funny,the writing holds up and I got the jokes as a kid. Some of you were just really fried by dumbass cartoon writing and jangling keys.
>The Program Exchange
This fricking thing disturbed me as a child.
