From classic animated series like "Looney Tunes," "The Flintstones," and "The Jetsons" to the modern day hits of "The Simpsons" and "South Park," there are many great cartoons available.

The cartoon was created during the silent movie era as a short that was shown before movies. They gained even more popularity when the talkies came around, most notable of these were made by the Walt Disney company and Warner Bros with "Merry Melodies" (which later became "Looney Tunes"). With the invention of the television, cartoons and animated programs finally found a realm in which to flourish.

≪ Previous: The Greatest Animated Series Ever Made

The longest-running animated show in the history of television has always had a tradition of sticking it to organized religion. It's shows like The Simpsons that have enough of a cultural impact to be able to satirize and bring to light some of the most important issues we face today. So, in all their poignant glory, here are all the greatest, funniest and most memorable anti-religion jokes in The Simpsons' history as one of the best shows on television.

What are the greatest Simpsons religion jokes? Take a look here and you'll discover some of the best ones on the show.

Good Thing We Came To Our Senses

The Movementarian Episode
One of many jabs at the church in Simpsons history, this one gives a big left hook to the way Christian worship is not only structured, but how it earns a lot of its money. Especially when comparing it to Scientology or any other cult. In the clip above, Kent Brockman goes from condemning an obviously corrupt system, to being immediately for it after receiving some kind of cash incentive.

Much like a lot of the religious gurus who sell millions of books and sell out stadiums when they speak, charging insane ticket prices, money is quite often the driving force behind a lot of the most well-received and creatively-marketed and established religious presences in America today.

But then there's this clip...

This is probably the most brutal joke in the episode, if you don't include how it is all one huge joke on Scientology. The leader, being similar to L. Ron Hubbard (creator of Scientology), in needing money to be part of the religion.

The leader later tries to escape with everyone's money in his promised space ship that would come to Earth to save all humans from the end of the world, when he's foiled by his own poor planning as the ship reveals itself to be himself on a flying bike making sounds with a hair comb, some paper and his mouth.

The Creationism Episode
This entire episode is a gem. For an 11-minute version of the entire episode, click here. As you can see from those clips, the bulk of the episode is joke after joke after satire after mockery of Creationism.

Little by little the episode tears away at any logic that is usually associated with Creationism and exposes every facet of the argument against evolution and the religious right's attempts to hide the science from the world. Masterfully done in a pointed, biting, yet still hilarious and not aggressive fashion at all.

The entire thing starts with this wonderful scene of Ned Flanders taking his two sons, whom he raises as very far right fundamentalist Christians, to a museum only to find it filled with nothing but scientific relics of history.

And the rest of the episode gets even better. This episode, as a whole, is one of the greatest criticisms of Creationism in television history.
Whenever Homer Misquotes or Dismisses The Bible

"But this book doesn't have any answers!" - Homer

Quite often throughout The Simpsons' long history, Homer refers to parts of The Bible that don't necessarily exist in order to further some personal gain of his, which in of itself is a great comment on how many Christians (who can't quote more than a few verses of The Bible that aren't found in action movies) use it on a day to day basis. Here are some great moments in Homer (mis)using The Bible for his own personal gain.

[Homer says] "Your mother has this crazy idea that gambling is wrong, even though they say it's okay in the bible." [Lisa asks him where] "Eeeeh, somewhere in the back."

[When Homer becomes an inadvertent missionary to a tribe and wants to eat all the food] "Yes, but doesn't the Bible also say ``Thou shalt not take... moochers into thy... hut''?

When Homer swears on a Bible, which turns out to be a book of carpet samples.

"Look at this Bible I just got. 15 bucks! And talk about a preachy book! Everybody's a sinner!"

[When The Bible produces lottery numbers]"The Bible is finally pulling it's weight. Got any more holy numbers?"

[On Kent Brockman's talk show]
Lovejoy: Well, call me old-fashioned, but I believe marriage [as] described in the bible..
Homer: If you love the Bible so much why don't you marry it? In fact, I now pronounce you and the Bible man and wife.... and you're the wife! HAHAHAHAHA!

At some point, Homer takes a Bible out of the nightstand and tears out ribbon to use in another book.

Homer has so much distaste for The Bible, in fact, that he actually forgets who Jesus is a lot of the time. The two greatest examples are:

1) When Ned takes Homer to Jerusalem...

Homer: It's so nice and cool in the tomb of the unknown savior.
Ned: Unknown??!! This is the tomb of the most famous man who ever lived!
Homer: Porky Pig?
Ned: Porky Pig's not a man he's a pig and he's not even a real pig!
Homer: But.. he is buried here, right?
Ned: That's it! I'm losing it! I'm losing it! You come all the way to Jerusalem, the happiest place on earth and all the photos in your camera are of funny soda pops?

2) and, of course, "Save me Jeebus"

The Church Signs

Throughout Simpsons history, establishing shots outside of a scene in the church have featured the church sign. Every church sign's marketing copy is another chance for the writers to poke a little fun at the institution of the church or just to have fun at what might be some inappropriate things to post at a church.

Here's what was featured on some of the most notable church signs in Simpsons history:

God, the original love connection
Every Sunday is super Sunday
Today: what a f iend we have in God, Also: the Be sharps
Private Wedding, Please worship elsewhere
No Shoes, No Shorts, No Salvation
God welcomes his victims

Ned Flanders's Jesus Fish

Everything Is A Sin
Reverend Lovejoy tells everyone what the bible is really like when you sit down and read it.

Homer's Favorite Fictional Character

The throwaway lines like this one are what make up some of the most brutal criticisms of religion in the Simpsonsverse.

Those early home video releases were recalled and later versions of The Rescuers have been edited to omit the naughty image.

List of the best josei anime/manga series of all time, actively changed by your votes.

8 Transgendered Cartoon Characters

February 4, 2015, 2:06 am

≫ Next: Most Anticipated New Anime of 2015

≪ Previous: The Best Josei Anime/Manga Series

Cartoons were originally meant to entertain innocent children's minds but writers and creators have strayed off the path by making cross-dressing one of the cartoon world's most common gimmicks, not that there is anything wrong with that. Whether America's favorite characters are cross-dressing to defeat their enemy or just because they enjoy disguising themselves as the opposite sex, you have to wonder if they aren't in between genders or at the very least, reconsidering their sexuality.

What cartoons have transgendered characterise? These 8 transgendered cartoon characters break the mold in terms of their sexuality and sexual identity. They show viewers that it's OK to be yourself, whatever that is. While some viewers will be too young to understand what is going on and simply giggle at the cross-dressing characters, others will learn that personal expression is acceptable. Either way, each of these characters are entertaining to no end and for that, we love them.
http://www.ranker.com/list/8-transgendered-cartoon-characters/ivana-wynn,

Bugs Bunny
It's no secret that America's favorite cartoon character Bugs Bunny has one very popular go-to trick for deceiving his enemies, particularly that hillbilly Elmer Fudd. Looney Tunes character Bugs feels no shame in seducing his foes by dressing as a woman, anywhere from a schoolgirl to a geisha and Norse Valkyrie. He ferociously bats his eyelashes and gets uncomfortably close to their face to distract them, daring to kiss them sometimes.

In "What's Opera, Doc?" Bugs Bunny even gets the stern and violent Elmer Fudd to perform ballet with him. Some of his favorite pastimes include styling hair, giving manicures and letting shoe salesmen tickle his feet.

We can admit that Bugs cross dresses for a good purpose but as a cartoon character, he has the potential to come up with any number of tricks and yet he still chooses to dress in drag. Looks like Bugs gets a little too much pleasure from getting all dolled up to be considered a straight bunny.

Mr. Garrison
Mr. Garrison, the teacher at South Park Elementary who uses puppets like Mr. Hat and Mr. Twig to teach, has one of the most complicated sexualities in TV history.

Before his sex change in season 9, he finally begins to accept his homosexuality and even has a lover, Mr. Slave. In "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina," Mr. Garrison tells Dr. Biber that he has always been a woman on the inside and that getting a sex change is his last chance at happiness. So he becomes Ms. Janet Garrison.

However, when Ms. Garrison finds out that vaginoplasty doesn't include reproductive organs, that she has no period and can't get pregnant, she is disappointed. She carries on several lesbian relationships before deciding she wants to be a man again. She pays for a laboratory to grow a penis on a mouse and gets a second sex change. He has remained that way since but who knows how long it'll be before he gets another one.
Roger
It may be difficult for an alien to be considered transgendered but since he calls himself Roger and dresses in guy clothes, we can assume he is a guy most of the time. This American Dad character has been known to question his sexuality however, asking himself if he really likes girls.

Roger's most famous alter egos are Laura Vanderbooben and a wedding planner named Jeannie Gold. He becomes Laura Vanderbooben to get sexually harassed at work and be able to sue the company for a settlement. In one scene, he struts through the office in a tight outfit, swaying his hips, but none of the men turn to look at him.

As Jeannie Gold, a former prostitute in Argentina, Roger helps Stan and Francine renew their wedding vows. In another episode, Roger gets a waitress job on a cruise ship where the Smiths are taking a vacation and dresses like Olivia Newton John and sings her hit Xanadu.

Roger and Stan have many intimate moments, from Roger telling him he needs him when they're both drunk to acting in a play called "Pinata Man" together. Roger steals the female leading role and dresses up as a senorita. He rips Stan's shirt off, licks his chest and lets Stan lick his feet. They both get arrested for public indecency right after the show. In another episode, Stan and Francine find Roger dressed as a princess. Stan thinks he needs a kiss from a prince to wake up and Roger shoves his tongue down Stan's throat.

Either aliens get a pass since well, they are aliens, or Roger has some gender identity issues.
Stewie Griffin
Yes, Stewie Griffin is only one year old but Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane has said his sexuality has been left ambiguous on purpose and thus, he is literally transgendered for now. Being a toddler, Stewie has the freedom to explore his options and learn what he really likes.

In one episode, Stewie has a fantasy of himself frolicking on the beach with his teddy bear Rupert, who has a muscular male body and a teddy bear head. They splash water at each other and lay side by side on the sand. In "Stew-Roids" Stewie he plays with Barbies and voices them, talking about fashion and boyfriends. Susie, the Swansons' infant, beats him up and he cries.

Stewie also enjoys cross dressing. In "Go, Stewie, Go!" he becomes Karina Smirnoff in order to audition for Jolly Farm Revue. He is able to fool Brian into thinking he's a woman at a bar and comes on to him. When he becomes his alter ego Desiree and goes to dinner with Brian to help him make a girl jealous, several men at the restaurant recognize Desiree. In "Boys Do Cry," Stewie becomes "Stephanie Griffin" to protect himself from some priests that want to exorcise him because they think he is possessed by Satan. The Griffins flee to Texas, where Stewie enters a Little Miss Texas pageant and manages to win. He tells Brian that he "feels right" in his female disguise.

Fisheye (Sailor Moon)
The American version of Sailor Moon completely changed Fisheye's gender to female. In the original Japanese version, he was a fish turned human and a male, like the other two members of the Amazon Trio, who are also both effeminate. Unlike Tiger's Eye and Hawks' Eye, Fisheye dresses like a woman most of the time and pursues men, openly admitting his attraction to them. He gets his male victims to fall in love with him before revealing his real gender. He famously fell for Mamoru, who rejected him.

Team Rocket (Pokemon)
The Pokemon couple of Team Rocket, who is usually trying to steal Ash's Pikachu, has switched gender roles. Jessie is really bossy and prone to outbursts while James often whines in an effeminate voice and is oddly the one who holds a red rose in his hand.

Most of the time, James cross dresses as a geisha or nurse. In one episode, both of them disguised themselves as egg sellers, complete with old-fashioned dresses, bonnets and baskets of eggs. In another episode in which the two wore bathing suits, James put on an inflatable body suit to make him have large breasts.

Similarly, Jessie doesn't mind playing the masculine part sometimes. In "The Purr-fect Hero," she took on the role of a magician, wearing a tuxedo and top hat while James disguised himself as the magician's assistant in a pink dress.

Peppermint Patty and Marcie (Peanuts)
Peppermint Patty and Marcie's relationship has been one of the most talked about friendships in cartoon history. The two girls claim to have a crush on Charlie Brown in the show but maybe it's just a cover up for their affection for one another. Both girls act, sound and look more like guys.

Peppermint Patty wears a collared and striped green shirt with blue gym shorts and green flip flops, which makes her look like a laid-back dude. Plus, she's good at baseball.

Marcie wears round glasses and her outfit is all red, which means she has very little fashion sense and she calls Peppermint Patty "sir." She enjoys teasing Peppermint Patty when she's at camp with Charlie Brown, telling Patty that she's spending a lot of time with him to make her jealous.

In a Family Guy episode, Peter goes to visit them at their house, where they live together as a couple.

The BFFs have also inspired artists to draw them as an adult lesbian couple:

Him (Powerpuff Girls)
Him, the most powerful villain in the Powerpuff Girls, is a cross-dressing Satan with red skin who often wears colorful eye shadows and dresses in a red jacket and skirt with a belt around his waist. He also has a ruffly pink tulle around his neck and skirt along with black high-heeled hooker boots up to his thighs. If that is not the definition of a cross-dresser's wardrobe, I don't know what is.

Instead of using sheer force to destroy Townsville he plays psychological tricks on the girls, using their naivete and fear against them. In one episode, he turns into a butterfly to bug Bubbles.

He has a rubber ducky named Mr. Quackers that he takes baths with. His voice ranges from thundering and angry to high-pitched and mockingly sweet and he enjoys making dramatic poses.

In a Cartoon Network bumper he cuts Ms. Bellum's hair (the Mayor's assistant) and shakes his hips in celebration. Ladies and gentlemen, Him is really a Her.

≪ Previous: The Greatest Animated Series Ever Made

It's time to get in touch with your emotional side, as we're ranking the top romance anime that has ever been made. These shows typically depict two people falling in love; it starts with a crush and the audience watches it blossom from there. Good romance anime highlights all kinds of relationships, from schoolyard crushes and first kisses to adults developing a relationship at work. Sometimes referred to as love anime, these shows can be a little more slow-paced than your typical anime, but that isn't to say they're boring. In fact some of the best romance anime isn't strictly about love, but rather a combination of multiple genres.

In the hit series Inuyasha, the love between Inuyasha and Kagome is strong throughout the series, but it takes a back seat to the fighting and action scenes that really drive the show. The same goes for the popular Eureka 7, where Renton and Eureka fall in love while piloting mechs and fighting the evil United Federation.

Don't forget, if one of your favorite romantic anime shows is missing from the poll, you can add it so that others can vote for it too. Add as many series as you like, as long as they tell a love story with intense feelings and emotions.

The Most Annoying Cartoon Characters of All Time

These are the most irritating, most aggravating, most annoying cartoon characters ever to grace your Saturday Morning Cartoons. These are the characters meant to "connect" to kids, to make them laugh and keep the tone light - no matter what was going on. The people who made these annoying cartoon characters thought kids were drooling morons, and its hard not to resent and loathe the results.

What are the most annoying cartoon characters of all time? There are plenty of good ones, by good we mean awful, characters to choose from. After all, who really likes Scrappy Doo, The Smurfs and Tweety Bird? They are some of the most hated cartoon characters of all time. (Sorry if you are a fan.) The most annoying animated characters typically have an obnoxious voice or shtick that gets old fast.

Vote on your most-hated characters, and - to really impact the list - make your own ranking and add it!

Fake TV Shows on The Simpsons

≪ Previous: The Most Annoying Cartoon Characters of All Time

List of fictional TV shows depicted on the FOX animated series "The Simpsons." Throughout its more than 20 years on television, "The Simpsons" has found opportunities to mock just about every other popular TV show and genre. Sometimes, the show will call out other series by name in their parodies, as they have done with direct jokes about "Married with Children," "Ren and Stimpy" and "COPS." But other times, "Simpsons" writers will create their own heightened versions of popular TV shows - or invent original TV concepts out of whole cloth - and then use these to skewer real TV shows or even whole networks. (Examples include "Don't Go There," intended as a parody of the then-popular "Friends" and "Chop Shop'd," a parody of "Punk'd" in which celebrity guests have their cars destroyed.)

This perfectly cromulent list collects together all the joke, fictional TV shows featured on episodes of "The Simpsons." When possible, the specific target of the parody is also identified.

100+ Easter Eggs from Every Pixar Movie

≪ Previous: 47 Easter Eggs from Every Classic Disney Movie

Second only to maybe Marvel Studios and their wealth of comic references, cinema's Easter egg king is most certainly Pixar. The animators work on these films for years at a time and like to sneak in little jokes and references for fans to discover for years to come. People scour these films with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that throws back to Pixar film history, or makes references to upcoming films that just might hint at Pixar's next big hit. This list of Pixar Easter eggs has over 200 fun facts and little details you might not have noticed from all Pixar’s films.

Pixar Animation Studios have not only consistently plugged their own films with sneaky little nods, but they've also invented recurring companies and items spread throughout their filmography. This both ties together all the Pixar movies, and cuts down on annoying and distracting product placement for real companies.

For example, either Dinoco or Buy n Large appear in nearly every Pixar film. Pizza Planet also makes an appearance in literally every single Pixar film except The Incredibles. And let’s not forget the other Pixar inside jokes including the the crazy places they hid A113 (the classroom where most of the guys met in college), the Luxo ball (which was first featured in an early Pixar short), and many Apple references (Steve Jobs co-founded Pixar, after all), which are all a part of the Pixar universe.

We've decided to do a round up of ALL the Pixar Easter eggs and sort them into groups (by movie for the most part). As it stands, we’ve contained over 200 Easter eggs in 100 categories! There are even a couple references to Newt (a movie they never even finished making), Star Wars (owned by parent company Lucasfilm), and some Kubrick films as well. Enjoy the wonderful world of Pixar with these cleverly hidden Easter eggs!

Finding Nemo - School of Fish
The Incredibles - Underminer
Cars and Cars 2 - Mack
Ratatouille - Mustafa the Waiter
Walle-E - John
Up - Tom the Foreman
Brave - Gordon the Guard

Toy Story Gives A Nod To Home Improvement with Binford Tools toolbox
Sid uses a Binford Tools toolbox to trap Woody in a crate, a reference to the company who sponsors Tool Time from Home Improvement, which starred Tim Allen, who also voiced Buzz.
Doc Hudson from Cars and Cars 2 Is Parked in The Incredibles
When the Incredibles and Frozone fight against the Omnidroid, a non-anthromorphic Doc Hudson can be seen parked in the background. It actually survived being crushed or broken from the fight.
A Poster for the The Lion King Musical Appears in A Bug's Life

Boo Gives Sally the Luxo Ball in Monsters, Inc.

Nemo The Clownfish in Finding Nemo Appears Several Times in Monsters, Inc.
• Before Mike says "And he is... outta here!" as they're throwing Randall through the door, Nemo can be seen hanging on the wall in the form of a plaque.

• Boo gives Sulley a Nemo toy before he leaves her room. (Monsters, Inc. was made before Finding Nemo, so this was a sneak peek.)

• On the wall behind the sushi chef at Harryhausen's, there is a picture of a clownfish.

As Remy runs through Paris, a shadow of Dug is cast against a wall.
In A Bug's Life, the Wagons for P.T. Flea's Circus Are Named After the Train That Transported Dumbo
The wagons that transport P. T. Flea's Circus are empty cookie boxes with actual turning wheels. The brand of cookies was called "Casey Jr. Cookies," named after Casey Jr., the train that transported the circus in Dumbo.
Toy Story's Pizza Planet Truck Appears in Wall-E
EVE scans the engine of a Pizza Planet truck for plant life shortly after her arrival on Earth, and shuts the hood afterwards.

You'll remember Pizza Planet as the fictional pizza place that appears in Toy Story. Some reference or to Pizza Planet or use of the Pizza Planet truck appears in every Pixar feature, except The Incredibles.

Finding Nemo Returns The Nod To Monsters, Inc. And Monsters University
• The fish mobile found in the dentist's office is the same one that hung in Boo's room.

The Best DC Comics Animated Movies

≪ Previous: 100+ Easter Eggs from Every Pixar Movie

A list of the best DC animated feature length movies including new DC animated movies as well. These are feature length animated films based on DC comics such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, characters that live within the DC Universe. In the 1990s, when live action movies based on DC Comics were in a slump, the Warner Bros' DC animation division took the reins, putting forth great quality animated films led by the likes of Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett. Today, animated films based on DC Comics are still popular.

What are the best DC animated movies? Are the animated Batman movies like Batman: Under the Red Hood and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker your favorites? DC Comics is currently owned by DC Entertainment, which in turn is owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. These may not be all the DC animated movies, but they are the greatest.

You may think this is a list of DC movies, but in fact it is list of DC animated movies only. So you won’t find the likes of The Dark Knight, or Man of Steel here, but you will for sure see all the Superman animated movies. Maybe once DC makes enough we can have a Justice League movies list.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Year of Release: 2000
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
