List of the Best Cartoon Shows of All Time. There have been many fantastic animated TV shows throughout the history of the medium, but what are the best? Some people think that cartoons are just for children, but there are many that have frequent themes that even adults will enjoy. 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 something 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.

This is a list of the best cartoons of all time, including series that are long gone and ones that are still going today. Vote up your favorite or make your own version.

If you aren't using Embiggen in your everyday jibber-jabber, your life must be sad and small. The Simpsons have been around for a couple decades now, and have given us so many fabulous words and made-up Simpsons sayings and Bart slang... SO many that, really, should be in the dictionary despite their dubious meanings. I mean, if you can't figure out what Tramampoline means... come ON. There's a more complete list out there somewhere, I'm sure, but these are the best of the fakes... the best words that the Simpsons have given us.

When I was a kid, the drug problems of these characters were never apparent. So what if Wimpy had an obvious food addiction problem? He was eating plates and plates of burgers! Hilarious! Did it occur to me that Shaggy was constantly stoned? No. They could have shown him smoking a fatty onscreen and I wouldn't have batted an eye. After all, there were crooked realtors to unmask! Shady property developers to expose! Cartoons have depicted substance abuse since the beginnings of cartoons, and they still do it today.

Remember, kids, stay off drugs. Unless they provide comic relief.... then it's totally ok.
http://www.ranker.com/list/10-most-adorable-cartoon-drug-addicts/analise.dubner,

Barney Gumble

Bill the Cat
Created initially as the anti-Garfield, there probably wasn't a drug that Bill didn't use. He was a movie star, politician, rock star and corpse. And during each phase of his career, he never stopped living the catatonic life of a user. They SAY that his friends helped him kick his drug habit during his film career where he gained fame in such epics as: Orangestoke: The Legend of Bill, Lord of the Monkeys. But after his death and subsequent cloning...followed by short stint with a cult... it could never be said that Bill ever really gave up on drugs. Case in point, the pop-eyed stare, constant smoking, and inability to utter more than gutteral grunts.

Conclusion: Dead.
Brian Griffin
"Whose leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?"

Oh, sweet alchohol. So addictive. So legal. how many times have you seen Brian without a drink in his hand? On the plus side, he is a recovered cocaine addict. So. Alcohol is better, right?

Conclusion: Alcoholic
Care Bears
Taste the rainbow.

There is NO WAY these things weren't constantly tripping on acid. Think about it. First of all, no one is that happy (or colorful) ALL THE TIME. Plus, have you ever seen a Care Bear sleep? I didn't think so. Plus, just look at their stomachs... it's like they are life-sized tabs.

Conclusion: You pretty much would HAVE to be on acid to even watch the Care Bears.
Homer Simpson
Why is Homer lower on the list than Barney, you are asking yourself. Yeah, I can hear you. No, I'm not in your house.

Clearly Homer is a fully functioning alcoholic. Unlike Barney, who would lick beer off the sidewalk (and has), Homer might need his Duff... but he can (usually) still pull off a 9 to 5 job and keep his marriage together. But, still. There is a lot of drinking here.

Conclusion: Alchoholic.
Mighty Mouse
So, you're telling me that you get an increased sense of self importance and empowerment right after you snort your "magic powder", Mr. Mighty? Interesting.

Of course, this was just the Ralph Bakshi version of Mighty Mouse, so I'm trying to be fair here. Fair.

But he was a total cokehead.

Conclusion: Coke Head
Underdog
I used to love this guy. He was my favorite cartoon when I was wee small. Of course, I didn't really know at the time that when Underdog would pop one of his magic pills and become freakishly strong and hopped-up... he was totally doing PCP.

This is where all those crazy overdosers are getting it wrong. See, all Underdog did to keep from being taken down by 15 cops with tazers was to put on a saggy, misshapen, clearly homemade costume. Then he can beat up the poor, big-headed Simon Bar Sinister with impunity... nary a SWAT team in sight to take him down.

Conclusion: Speed Freak
Bender
Another alcoholic! You might start to think it was legal or something. Bender doesn't get drunk. But he needs the beer to keep himself running. So maybe he doesn't count... as an actual alcoholic. Actually, I'm sure you are thinking right now that this list sucks because I put Bender on here just because I love Bender, and I would put him on all my lists if I could figure out a way.

So bite my shiny metal ass.
Shaggy
The effects of marijuana are described as: problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety.

Lets just forget for a moment that Shaggy was constantly paranoid and hungry. Instead, let's use pot as an explanation for why Shaggy... as a supposed non-developmentally challenged adult ... would find himself terrified to the point of incontinence of realtors drapped in sheets or wearing $5 halloween masks.

Conclusion: Total Stoner. Frankly, I would toke up as often as I could if I were stuck in a van with Fred and his insufferably patronizing ascot.
Wimpy
It's interesting to note that Wimpy was overweight when he clearly had no job and no money with which to buy food. So I guess that means his friends are enabling his food addiction, right? I mean, just look at that big platter of hamburgers. How could anyone take one look at this guy and fork over some more Burger King money? Plus, what's with the empty promise to pay people back? The guy had no job. Was he ever going to have money on Tuesday if he didn't have any today?

I suppose, though, that burgers are pretty cheap when purchased from the fast food industry. Still, 99 cent thursdays or not, he's got to have 20 bucks worth of burgers on that tray. Come on Popeye, you eat healthy. Why do you keep letting this guy slide deeper into his addiciton?

Conclusion: Food Addict

A list of the best DC animated feature-length movies. 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 1990, when live action movies based on DC comics were in a slump, the Warner Bros' animated division took the reins putting forth great quality films led by the likes of Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett. Today, animated films based on DC Comics are still popular. 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.

8 Transgendered Cartoon Characters

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.

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.


Roger the Alien
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.


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.
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.

Woody Woodpecker
A*****e.
Scrappy Doo

dynomutt
Another sidekick that ruined a decent superhero. Why can't we just have crimefighting? Why does it have to be "funny"? Why?!!
Orko
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Character design... HAHAHA HAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAH....gasp....purple scarf..... HAHA HAH AHAHAHAAAA!
The Wonder Twins
Ah, the Wonder Twins. Take them on their own, and I guess they aren't so offensive... but put them on Superfriends and they become supremely irritating. Sucking drama out of every episode, every mission... getting in constant trouble to be rescued from. Squeaky voices. Stupid costumes. And lamest powers ever. Form of an ice bucket? What?!
7Zark7
Oh, how great was it to have a group of cool space-warriors? Apparently not great enough. Because why else would you need comic relief in the form of an idiot robot?
Batmite
Way to ruin Batman and Robin, guys. Do we really need a mentally disabled magical loser from another dimension on a show with THE GODDAMN BATMAN on it? Really?
gleek
Oh god, did I hate this monkey. Look, I know the Superfriends was no quality show... but I wanted to watch the Superheroes be superhero-y. I did NOT want to watch the stupid monkey get into trouble and do "funny" things. And yet, somehow... every single episode, there he was with his single working brain cell... doing stupid things that got in the way of Justice League business. I have no idea why Superman never picked this little f**ker up and tossed him into the sun.
snarf
"Snarf, snarf" Hate. Deep, abiding hatred for all 'comic relief' characters designed only to be 'relatable' and 'cute' and dumb. Always dumb. Apparently dumb = funny? Only hate.
chilly willy
Oh, how I hated Chilly Willy. He was an instigator, like George Costanza said. The walrus just wanted to have a BBQ in peace, and this little @$%@ with his innocent little eyes was out to ruin everything. The thing I hated the most about him was that he was supposed to be the good guy in the eyes of the people who made the cartoon. We were supposed to find him funny, mischevious and adorable. I just loathed him with the heat of a 1000 burning suns.

These classic, lovable characters from TV, movies and our childhoods are all known for one thing: their unwanted sexual advances. And although we love them and there's nothing actually wrong with their existence, here's a list of the most lascivious cartoon characters of all time and why, in the real world, all of them would be in jail.

Everyone on this list from Pepe Le Pew, to Herbert from Family Guy to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, doesn't really get the whole meaning of "no means no" and kind of just assumes that they're a sexy cartoon when, most of the time, they're really, really REALLY not.
http://www.ranker.com/list/the-13-most-sexually-aggressive-cartoon-characters/robert-wabash,

Big Bad Wolf
The Big Bad Wolf from these cartoons where he's whistling at an over-sexed "Take THIS, I did it first, Jessica Rabbit" Red Hot Riding Hood cartoon in shorts that Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies used to do, is probably one of the most over sexually aggressive cartoons on the planet.

He basically represents a visceral part of every man (or hey, even woman) that acts purely on sexual impulse. He does the Le Pew-esque corn-on-the-cob kiss on the arm, and when she dances he does something that has even coined an entire term in American society... The Wolf Whistle.

Applied to many-a-woman passing a construction site, walking down the street while you're in a car during traffic or at any local strip joint (check your local Yelp listings), The Wolf Whistle is basically an eyes-bulging, loud and insanely inappropriate (unless you're in a strip club, check your local CitySearch listings) display of your sexual desire for a woman via yells that would be loud enough to wake an entire city block, or that sound much like... a wolf.

Check out the video for the first and most glaring example of this character being one of the most sexually aggressive (in that all he wants to do is bang some girl whose grandma he ate) cartoon characters of all time.
Bluto
Bluto is Popeye's arch nemesis for a reason (other than the fact that he grows facial hair, but Popeye can't seem to): Bluto is in love with Olive Oyl, a woman that they're both in love with, but has the body of a Gumby character and has little to no redeeming intellectual qualities.

Bluto (as seen in this video where he -- as "Sinbad" -- kidnaps Olive Oyl for his own nefarious needs) is not only pining after Olive Oyl in a completely unrequited manner, but he's doing so while trying to kill the man (Popeye) that she's truly in love with.

Bluto asserts himself as a predator by constantly foiling the object of the woman he loves's affection and forcing himself on her with the hopes that, as a lot of the characters on this list do, "she'll come around".

In this full episode of Popeye on YouTube (in multiple parts), Bluto takes Olive Oyl away unwillingly so that she can be his bride.

Any plot where the bad guy's goal is to get a freakin bride is a plot where the main villain is more than just a jerk who wants to kill everyone you know and love including you, it's a plot where there's a dude who will bang the crap out of any girl/person you hold dear.

Bluto is the worst kind of villain for these reasons, and because he has a lot of facial hair (which adds to how uncomfortable it would be to get "intimate" with him.
Edna Krabappel
Edna Krabappel is a tragic sexual figure in The Simpsons' lore. That's right, "lore".

So, here's a video of her exerting her sexual prowess on a crowd of unsuspecting families. Enjoy.

She is basically the sex-hungry middle-aged woman who has nothing but heart-breaks and unrequited love to go home to (that and maybe the whiskey that she keeps in her desk at Springfield Elementary).

When she's not being a living tragedy, though, she's coming onto men much younger than her and way out of her league as they give her looks that imply that not only are they (hesitantly) willing, but that they are going to be almost forced into it.

The allure of Edna Krabbapel lies in that she's an older woman who's not TERRIBLE looking, but has a lot of experience. This basically means that any guy will do whatever she wants, but will not tell anyone they know about it... which is DIRECTLY influenced by how strongly she comes onto anyone attractive who happens to be in the room, making her an incredibly sexually aggressive character that really almost always gets what she wants... except when it comes to the whole "committed relationship" thing.
Gaston
If there's anyone on this list who doesn't have a clue, it's Gaston. Gaston is the Zapp Brannigan of Disney cartoons (read: biggest douche) and is so aggressive in his need to court/bed Belle (who could blame him, actually), that he even becomes the primary antagonist in this otherwise complex and sobering love story about a woman overcoming what she sees as attractive and right and falling for a man she thinks she can change. Why is it a fairy tale? Because she actually changes him.

Gaston's oblivious nature causes him to do things like stalk Belle (as seen in this video) in a way that would get him a restraining order in this day and age and then sing songs about her, followed by, of course, a proposal for marriage (even though she is CLEARLY not interested).

Gaston not only hits on other women all the time, but is used to uninhibited attention from women... why? Because he's actually a pretty good-looking guy, so after she denies him, he keeps going after the one thing he knows he can't have. After pulling the total Hail Mary he did by asking her to marry him, he finds her, finds the dude she ACTUALLY falls in love with and, as we learned from Bluto, does one of the creepiest, most forward things that a guy can do: tries to kill the guy who his love interest is in love with (which is pretty Lex Luthor of him).

Gaston is kind of a funny character in the movie, but how strongly he pushes himself on our main character (who mostly wants to be left alone) is appalling enough to make the list.

If you're a guy, though, raise your hand if you WOULDN'T want to be him. Triplets? Yes, please.
Glenn Quagmire
Of course Quagmire is on this freaking list.

Glenn Quagmire is the resident sexual pervert of Quahog, the fictional Rhode Island town where the fictional cast of Family Guy lives. He basically takes the role of that guy in college who always used to get laid even though his hair was weird, and brings it to a whole new level.

Quagmire will do just about anything to get laid, as you'll see in the embedded video compilation, and has absolutely no shame about anything he does -- which is why he's awesome.

But from a sexual aggression standpoint, Quagmire can't wait til every 16-year-old is 18 and comes on to just about every single imaginable person on the show who happens to look normal enough and have a vagina. Even Meg, the "grossest" character on the show who is always, distractingly, voiced by Mila Kunis (of That 70s Show and your fantasies.)

Embedded here is a great video compilation of why he belongs on this list and why he's one of the funniest cartoon characters of all time as well.
Jafar
The villain in the movie Aladdin, Jafar spends the entire movie trying to marry Princess Jasmine (who, after watching this video, actually kind of looks like a Kardashian) against her will. As one of the most iconic villains of animated film, Jafar commands a presence of high sorcery and extreme power... until he's foiled by our heroes. But before then, he dresses Jasmine up in an almost Slave-Leia-esque outfit that showcases her body and makes her take up a little bit of Stockholm Syndrome to trick him into letting Aladdin take back the power (the lamp) and save the day.

Jafar's entire goal is to marry Jasmine in order to become the Prince and later, of course, the Sultan (although few people could imagine the jolly fat guy in this classic Disney cartoon pillaging villages and countrysides to gain political/financial/military control of them). So, as a sexual cartoon character, he doesn't care about consent as much as he does social obligation and stature. But he will more than gladly take that whole physical part from Jasmine, so by using other worldly powers and horrible schemes to get his way in marriage, Jafar becomes one of the most horribly aggressive (with the use of evil sorcery and a Gilbert Godfriend parrot) cartoon characters in recent history.

Who wants to get with a guy that wears that kind of hat anyway? I mean, there's a reason The Pope is single, right (other than the fact that he has to be)?... No?... Anybody?....
Pepé Le Pew
Pepe Le Pew is basically that guy who has high self esteem BEFORE he starts drinking and then gets really handsy when he's drunk. I mean, c'mon, look at this.

Chuck Jones, creator of Pepe Le Pew, modeled the character after his friend Tedd Pierce who considered himself a ladies man and, for some reason, always assumed that his sexual exploits were requited.

The premise of each and every one of Pepe Le Pew's cartoons (although hilarious) is that the poor guy has perpetual emotional blue balls throughout his entire Skunk life. There are no other skunks around (which brings me to the conclusion that he's probably just not going to the right places), so whenever he sees someone that he thinks is a skunk (most often a black cat who accidentally gets white paint on them via walking under a fence or car that has just been painted white), he just up and goes for it.

Now, not being a "person", Pepe Le Pew gets the leeway of "alright, he's an animal and a male animal that sees a female animal assumes that they want to procreate". But as one of the most popular members of the Looney Tunes crew, he teaches children that no doesn't mean no, but that no means "you should just try harder."

Check out this clip (embedded) that shows Mr. Le Pew forcing himself on a poor, unsuspecting cat. Imagine if you were him, and instead of a weird, painted cat that can't talk (but for some reason you can), it was a girl at a bar.

If you started kissing someone's arm, holding them against their will while they try and get away and professed your delusional, undying love for them, you would most likely get arrested.

This is the point I'm trying to make. These women (cats) don't want to procreate, they just want to walk around and say "Le" all the time.

What's the worst part? The fact THIS IS HIS M.O. He will never change. This is what he's KNOWN for: taking unwilling women and harassing them to the point of either violence, moving away or misery and then happily, passively moving onto the next when the current one is "used up".

A full-length Pepe Le Pew cartoon where he makes unwated sexual advances towards an accidentally-painted cat... again.
Zapp Brannigan
Zapp Brannigan is a quintessential douchebag. He's the type of guy that plays the "numbers" game, gets women left and right, has about 12 different STDs (that in cartoon-land cancel each other out, Mr. Burns style), and never stops trying for that one girl that said no that becomes his "true love" (who he'll forget about the moment she says yes... easily.)

Throughout the entire series of F*turama (to this day, even), Zapp Brannigan makes sexual advances towards the gorgeous, yet tough and opinionated Leela (who happens to have one eye and is also voiced by Peggy of Married with Children fame's Katy Seagal). He never stops and he always assumes that the love is requited because he's just that delusional of a douchebag.

He makes so many sexual advances that ALMOST work (and one or two that do) that he's really one of the greatest sexual predators in mainstream cartoon history. Not only does he do what he does, but he makes it work in the process... this is kind of a terrible thing ideologically, but as far as the progression of the character goes, he needs it to love.

Here's an example (embedded) of Zapp Brannigan coming onto Leela using "facts".
Herbert
Herbert from Family Guy is a pedophile. A homosexual one. One that takes advantage of young boys, likes to smell their underwear, write songs about young boys and basically lives for the next sexual thrill. Every single scene he's ever been in on Family Guy has a common punchline theme: Herbert wants to bang little boys.

And this is absolutely hilarious in that it makes light of one of the most reprehensible things that people (Christian Priests) do on a regular basis, as well as lampoons some of the most uncomfortable moments that a person can have, as well as some of the worst thoughts that the worst people on Earth can think.

Herbert is a staple of cartoon comedy and one of the greatest characters cartoons have ever invented... but the implication that he, at SOME point, has gotten away with what he does (why else would he so persistently keep trying), is absolutely disgusting and puts him in at #2 in the most sexually aggressive (and not to mention reprehensible) cartoon characters of all time.

Enjoy this hilarious compilation of his funniest, most uncomfortable and "that's funny cause it's wrong" moments.
Every Betty Boop Villain Ever
Betty Boop, a character who most people can find at products at stores like Claire's and Hot Topic, yet most people have never seen an episode of her show, was the first animated sex symbol of all time. Needless to say (as this should probably be, unfortunately, implied), almost every single episode of her show involved some powerful man trapping her, tying her up, then trying to bang her.

Random dudes from whatever institution the episode was about (in this case, The Circus!) would come and save her in the end, otherwise she'd be an emotional wreck and the cartoon would've taken a crazier, MUCH darker path.

Here's a synopsis of the infamous episode where someone tries to take away her virginity called "Boop-Boop-A-Doop", which kind of sums up why every one of her villains was basically a potential rapist. That's right. The "R" word again:

"In Boop-Oop-A-Doop , Betty is a highwire performer in a circus. The villainous Ringmaster lusts for Betty as he watches her from below, singing "Do Something," a song previously performed by Helen Kane. As Betty returns to her tent, the Ringmaster follows her inside and sensually massages her legs, surrounds her and threatens her job if she doesn't submit.

This is perhaps one of the earliest portrayals of sexual harassment on the screen, and was very daring at a time when such subject matter was considered taboo.

Betty begs the Ringmaster to cease his advances, as she sings "Don't Take My Boop-Oop-A-Doop Away." Koko the Clown is outside of the tent, practicing his juggling and hears the struggle from inside the tent. He leaps in to save Betty's virtue, struggling with the Ringmaster who loads him into a cannon, firing it, thinking that he has sent the hero away, laughing with self-satisfaction. But Koko is hiding inside the cannon, and strikes the Ringmaster out cold with a mallet, returning with "the last laugh." When Koko expresses concern about Betty's welfare, she answers in song, "No, he couldn't take my boop-oop-a-doop away!"

When the worst Pixar movie you can think of is still better than almost every other animated movie in the last 50 years, you know you've got a good thing going. This list of all Pixar films is ranked best to "worst", but it's probably better to think of it as ranked from greatest to less great. Of the 13 Pixar movies that have been released, a good percentage are already on the list of the best movies ever, and the company has already found a place on the list of the top film franchises with the Toy Story trilogy (no doubt Cars isn't far behind).

From WALL-E to Finding Nemo, there is no shortage of quality coming out of Pixar studios. The hard part is deciding which Pixar films are best, and ranking them against each other, which is why this list of Pixar films exists.

What is the best Pixar movie? How many movies has Pixar made? You should be able to answer these questions after perusing the list of Pixar films ranked best to still ok, but not the best. Make sure to upvote your favorite Pixar movies so other fans will know just what the greatest Pixar movie really is.

If you aren't using Embiggen in your everyday jibber-jabber, your life must be sad and small. The Simpsons have been around for a couple decades now, and have given us so many fabulous words and made-up Simpsons sayings and Bart slang... SO many that, really, should be in the dictionary despite their dubious meanings. I mean, if you can't figure out what Tramampoline means... come ON. There's a more complete list out there somewhere, I'm sure, but these are the best of the fakes... the best words that the Simpsons have given us.

The 1990s was a time when all types of cartoons were introduced to the general public and thrived within the the realm of pop culture. These are some of the most beloved cartoons of all time and certainly some of the most iconic. Characters range from more mature characters like Homer Simpson to Beavis and Butthead to classic children's cartoon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko and Doug Funnie.

During the '90s, mature cartoons started to become popular with many teens and young adults. Mike Judge was at the forefront of this movement creating the aforementioned Beavis and Butthead along with King of the Hill, whose main character Hank Hill can be seen on this list. These cartoons are the forefathers to characters like Peter Griffin, Stan Smith and the rest of the Seth MacFarlane universe. The same goes for the Nickelodeon cartoons of the same time period.

Anyone can contribute to this list of who the best cartoon characters of the '90s is, which makes this ranking an accurate, real-time reflection of the crowd's collective opinion. It can be disputed that the '90s was the best time for edgy cartoon characters and this Ultimate List sets out to settle the dispute over who was the best character of that time. Rank your favorites or add whoever you see missing.

One of the most iconic television shows of all time, as well as one of the most quoted properties in pop culture history, The Simpsons has made hundreds of jokes that we all know, remember and reference on a daily basis. Often times, these jokes revolve around extremely absurd concepts that could only happen in a cartoon or a satire -- according to the writers at the time. Sometimes, these jokes underestimate just how low humanity (and often, America) can go.

Here's a collection of hilarious Simpsons jokes that really ended up being true, happening or being repeated elsewhere.
http://www.ranker.com/list/13-simpsons-jokes-that-actually-came-true/robert-wabash, videos, tv programs, tv, television, animated, true stories,

It Tastes Like Grandma!!
The Joke:
Inspired by a Zorro movie, Homer begins slapping people with a glove and challenging them to duels.

When a real Southern gentleman accepts Homer's request for a duel, the Simpsons run off to the old farm Homer lived on with his parents and breed a dangerously addictive but successful tobacco/tomato hybrid called "tomacco"



What Actually Happened:
Homer’s "tomacco" plant became a reality when Rob Baur, a senior operations analyst at an Oregon sewage treatment plant, created it in his house.

He grafted together a tobacco root with a tomato plant to create a real-life tomacco, without even enlisting the aid of radioactive material.

To date, no nearby farm animals have gone berserk and articulated their tomacco desire through speech yet. YET.
There's Very Little Meat In These Gym Mats
The Joke: As seen in the video above, Lunch Lady Doris is seen throwing gym mats into a meat grinder in order to prepare the school lunch for the day.

Anyone who's ever had a public school lunch knows how completely inedible they can be, and some of the wet, warm, questionable objects on your styrofoam, sectioned-off tray do seem like they have hazardous chemicals as their base...but gym mats?

That's unheard of, that would never happen, right?



What Actually Happened:
So it turns out that the bread used in the McDonald's McRib actually contains an ingredient (banned in some parts of Europe) that is used to keep gym mats sponge-y.

Time Magazine's Healthland blog ran a story about the McRib and its ingredients. It identified Azodicarbonamide as one ingredient found in the sandwich's bun and apparently it is most commonly used in the manufacturing of foam gym mats and the soles of shoes.

The blog also noted that the 70 ingredients of the McRib, including Azodicarbonamide, exist in very small quantities and will almost certainly leave anyone eating a McRib unharmed.

Still, Azodicarbonamide is a substance banned in Europe and strictly regulated by the FDA.

Looks like the Doris joke really wasn't that far off.
My Retirement Grease!!!!!


The Joke:
In the episode "In Lard Of The Dance" Homer discovers he can make money by stealing and reselling grease found in the back of Springfield Elementary's kitchen. They even build a contraption so that they can steal the maximum amount of grease in their car, like so...



They eventually give up after a few encounters with Groundskeeper Willie and the Springfield Grease Company.



Bart and Homer barely escape an angry, greased up Willie while trying to make it home-free with their glorious, profit-garnering grease in tow.

What Actually Happened:
In November of 2011 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that thieves had stolen at least $2,000 worth of grease from the privately-owned restaurant The St. Louis Wing Co. since April.

"It's a big deal. There's a huge underground out there for this stuff," owner Bobby Thessler said. "Others have said that this is like the new copper... These thieves are getting more sophisticated...".



When he called the police on these thieves, they spotted three teenagers taking grease from the back of Tessler's restaurant, as well as others on that same block.

The man uses about 60 to 70 pounds of grease every week, so saving money by selling it has always been a way to help break even.

A rendering company would have paid the owner of the company multiple thousands of dollars for used cooking grease.


Itchy and Scratchy's Bloody Billboard
The Joke:
When The Itchy and Scratchy Movie came out in The Simpsons they advertised with a billboard that sprayed blood when Itchy hit Scratchy over the head with a sledgehammer, meant to poke fun at the overtness of not only violence in emerging popular media, but in even its advertising.



What Actually Happened:
New Zealand was super excited about the TV premier of Kill Bill so they borrowed the idea from The Simpsons in a way that actually may have escaped the creators of the controversial Kill Bill billboard.

In an homage to Kill Bill's gore the billboard sprayed across the wall, street and cars.

Just like the advertising for The Itchy and Scratchy Movie.
Flaming Moe
The Joke:
Homer tells the local tavern owner Moe about a secret cocktail that includes cough medicine and fire that he calls a "Flaming Homer".

Moe steals the recipe and renames the drink the "Flaming Moe" and begins selling it at his tavern, betraying homer in the process. The drink is a success and Moe becomes famous, even Aerosmith drops by to perform at his place!



What Actually Happened:
A man who owns a bar in Prospect Heights bar called The Way Station (containing a replica of the giant blue TARDIS -- the time-and-space traveling machine from the BBC's Doctor Who television series) custom steampunk devices, Victorian décor and great cocktails.

Owner/bartender Andy Heidel said somebody mentioned a Flaming Moe and he just happened to have a bottle of Robitussin behind the bar. Not sure why you would have cough medicine behind a bar, but whatever. So he mixed Pernod, Jagermeister, Robitussin, and a Bacardi 151 floater then set it on fire.

Thus, we got the real Flaming Moe.


Scotchtoberfest
The Joke:
principal Skinner tries to set Bart up to get in trouble, so he concocts something called "Scotchtoberfest" which allows him to control an entire event where he knows Bart won't be able to resist pranking Groundskeeper Willie. Skinner attempts to catch Bart in act.



What Actually Happened:
Vintage Wine & Spirits Co. A wine, beer, spirits, cigar and wine accessory specialty shop located in West Des Moines, Iowa created a real Scotchtoberfest held every Saturday in October.

You can check it out below!


I Was Elected To Lead Not To Read
The Joke:
This was a dig at Governor Schwarzenegger from The Simpson's Movie, saying he was too dumb to be a Government official.

The line "I was elected to lead, not read" was such a ridiculous statement because an elected official's entire job is reading long, difficult legislation, making sense of it then deliberating.

What Actually Happened:
In the 2012 GOP race there was a man by the name of Herman Cain, and he ran on the slogan "We need a leader, not a reader."

So yeah, that almost happened.

What does that slogan even mean? You need to read and be at least somewhat of an intellectual to run a country, that's why that joke in The Simpsons is so fun and why in the real world it's just so tragic.


Stolen Sugar Truck
The Joke:
Lisa begins to feel threatened by Allison, a new student, because she is smarter, younger and a better saxophone player than she is.



Their rivalry reaches a climax at the school's diorama contest where Lisa plans to sabotage Allison's entry. The episode's subplot sees Homer steal a large pile of sugar from a crashed truck, and begin selling it door-to-door. He keeps it in the back yard and it eventually melts due to rain.

What Actually Happened:

Someone actually stole a freaking sugar truck.

In 2009 two kids were arrested by police in India for stealing a sugar truck from a person actually in charge of delivering the sugar. The kids were actually in charge of cleaning the truck and took it while it was parked at the cleaner/boss's house.

No word on whether or not they planned to sell it door to door.


The Land Of Chocolate
The Joke:
The Land of Chocolate is a land imagined by Homer when German businessman bought the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and, during an interview, told Homer they came from "the Land of Chocolate", meaning Germany.



In Homer's head this land was made entirely of chocolate, including houses, streetlights, paths and rivers. Even chocolate rabbits and dogs. And in a part called "Fudgetown" they even had chocolate fudge rains.


What Actually Happened:
Well, China has done it again. For the second year in a row, a theme park made entirely from chocolate will open its doors in Shanghai, according to CNNGo.

The park used 80 tons of Belgian chocolate to create sculptures such as the terracotta warriors and The Great Wall.

The exhibit drew roughly a half a million visitors, according to CNNGo.



This year, the park is moving to Shanghai's Himalayas Art Museum, and will feature 200 pieces of chocolate art. Chocolatiers will also be on hand to make everything from truffle chocolate to wine chocolate; visitors will also be able to create their own chocolate.

I think if I were to actually visit this theme park I would act exactly as homer did in his dream. No word yet on the edible, sentient chocolate animals.


The Good Morning Burger


The Joke:

In the Simpsons, the Good Morning Burger was eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef soaked in rich creamery butter, topped off with bacon, ham and a fried egg.

This was before all fast food restaurants started carrying a regular menu of heart-attacks every morning before 10:30AM, so it really worked as a satire of how horrible fast food is for you.

Before the "Baconator", a Sourdough Jack or even a triple cheeseburger were as bad as things got.

The Good Morning Burger seemed so ridiculous and far off that it could never really happen.

Until...


What Actually Happened: This take on the Good Morning Burger is quite similar: hash browns, topped with a hamburger, topped with a fried egg. There are hash browns under a burger that's under a fried egg.

Another good example of how far things have gotten in fast food are, of course, the KFC Double Down and their "failure bowls" (as comedian Patton Oswalt calls them in this bit).

Who is the greatest animated Disney villain? Everyone, it seems, has a favorite. Over the decades, Disney movies have given movie goers some of the most dastardly villains in cinema history. They may be animated, but that doesn't mean they aren't, well, mean! This list includes some of the best Disney movie villains ever, so be sure to vote for your favorites, vote down the villains you don't think are worthy of the top spots, and add any villains who are missing.

Vote: The Best Disney Princesses

Disney villains come in many forms. Some, like the evil sorcerer Jafar ('Aladdin') and the "Mistress of All Evil,' Maleficent ('Sleeping Beauty'), have magical powers that allow them to wreak havoc on their poor, unsuspecting victims. Great Walt Disney movie villains may also be "regular" people who are simply bad apples.

Speaking of bad apples, Queen Grimhilde, from Disney's classic 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' didn't necessarily have magical powers, but she was cruel beyond measure to Snow White, and a schemer of the highest order. Certainly, the same could be said of the horrible, no good Cruella de Vil from Disney's '101 Dalmatians.'

Rank: The Best Movie Villains of All Time

Some of the best Disney movie villains aren't even human. Examples? How about the evil python Kaa from 'The Jungle Book'? And without question Scar, the power hungry, sinister baby brother of Mufasa in 'The Lion King' is worthy of a spot on this list. Finally, last but certainly not least, the Big Bad Wolf from Walt Disney's 'Three Little Pigs' is a menacing character.

PIXAR animation studios has been churning out a string of beloved comedy-adventure films since the release of the first "Toy Story" movie in 1995. Their films are populated by a diverse crop of memorable characters, from the living playthings of the "Toy Story" films to the sentient cars of the "Cars" series to the human superheroes of "The Incredibles." Help us determine the final order of this list by voting for your favorite characters so far!

Before breaking into feature-length animated films, the company specialized in animated shorts (such as "Luxo Jr.," which gave rise to the studio's now-familiar desk lamp logo.) PIXAR continues to produce animated shorts to this day, which air before the feature films. Characters from both feature-length and short animated productions are included on this list. Characters who appeared in multiple PIXAR movies are listed with the first film in which they featured.
