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.

![The Gayest Cartoon Characters]( "The Gayest Cartoon Characters")
Ambiguously gay characters. From He-Man to Peppermint Patty, rumored gay cartoon characters got locked in the closet way before that gay rumor got Tom Cruise stuck in the closet on South Park. The proof is in this definitive list of the gayest cartoon characters ever.
http://www.ranker.com/list/gayest-cartoon-characters/eric-diaz,
He-Man
Peppermint Patty
Snagglepuss
Vanity Smurf
Velma Dinkley
Bam Bam
Louie Anderson
The Pink Panther
Fred from Scooby Doo
Velma is not the only Scooby Doo character who is very gay seeming. Nope, there's also Fred, the so called leader of Mystery Inc. (not sure why he's the leader, except I guess maybe it's his van) Many people are always saying how Fred and Daphne would go off and explore alone, and were maybe having sex while Scooby and Shaggy were eating stuff and Velma was looking for her glasses. But I always thought Fred gave off a very serious gay vibe. . .
Yogi Bear and Boo Boo
Yogi and Boo Boo are just about as obvious as Bert and Ernie (who would so be on this list if they weren't puppets) Running around Jellystone National Park, buck naked except for their little ties like Chippendales dancers. Some have suggested that their whole relationship is kind of pedo, with Yogi in the child predator role. But maybe it's just me, but Boo Boo never seemed so much younger than Yogi to suggest a kid, he was just way, way shorter. If they were indeed gay, then these two are pioneers in the GLBT community, as they were part of the gay Bear Community decades before any real humans were.
Yogi and Boo Boo seemed to co-habitate the same cave. And not in a "we’re just roomates" kind of way.Cindy Bear wanted nothing more than to get herself some Yogi love, but Yogi seemed to want nothing to do with her. Considering she was the only female bear in Jellystone, you'd think Yogi wouldn't be so picky. Unless of course girls just weren't his thing.

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.

![13 Simpsons Jokes That Actually Came True]( "13 Simpsons Jokes That Actually Came True")
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,
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).

![The Greatest Animated Disney Villains]( "The Greatest Animated Disney Villains")
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.
