As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? Or do you only watch mature shows?
I want children’s television shows sometimes because when I was a kid I was basically deprived of this joy. We didn’t have cable until I was basically already a teenager and even then my dad had this obnoxious habit of shaming me for it if I ever dared to watch the cable weed were literally paying for.
An adult is a kid with bills to pay.
…and on the plus side, can buy booze!
I love this. Hit me in the right spot. Thanks.

There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.
Depends on the show…some of them, no it’s not because it’s improper it’s because they are super annoying to watch as an adult. I’m thinking stuff like team Umizoomi, Dougie and such.
Stuff for early teens is typically ok, like Steven universe or teen titans or adventure time. But when you go down to shows for the under 7 crowd…yeah the shows are horrible.
And if someone still enjoys those “horrible” shows at 87, it’s okay for them to watch them. That’s the point.
Yes, I just finished watching all of Phineas and Ferb with my 32-yo daughter. Also Hey Arnold until it got taken off whatever we were watching it on. But of course nothing beats SpongeBob.
“still watch”? i never stopped.
That’s what it means to still [do something]
And it’s the top comment. I’m dying 😂🤣
A good show is a good show. Doesn’t matter the style or the intended demographic.
BLUEY!
I have kids, but I would absolutely watch bluey even if I didn’t. I own several bluey shirts.
You know how much Blippi, Wiggles, Brain rot Minecraft/Roblox, Ryan’s World I had to go through before we finally watched some Bluey?
Oh my goodness, Bluey is actually good too, it’s wild.
Oof. At least you ended up at bluey.
Best part of visiting families with kids is sneaking in a bluey episode without shame!
I have zero shame. If I’ve had a bad day I watch a couple of episodes to get back on track.
Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.
the best ones usually do sneak a little something in for the grown-ups “stuck” watching them.
And there are episodes that are just beautiful works of art. The S3E18 episode of Bingo playing in the rain is just heartfelt to me.
I will forever love Looney Tunes. It’s a classic.
Meep meep
I do like Spongebob!
As spawners of demons, me and my wife have frequently discussed how people not watching shows and movies targeted at children are missing a whole genre of awesome stuff!
Adventurer Time, Ducktales (new version), Avatar the last airbender, Kipo, She-Ra and the list goes on and on…
Edit: Lego movies, arguably Lego Batman is the best batman movie.
There is a ton of stuff and a lot of it has been made so that it is enjoyable for kids but all the subtle adult stuff snuck in is just chefs kiss 😅
I watch adult cartoons now, rick and morty, south park, simpsons, bojack horseman etc etc.
I do still love kids cartoons but exclusively the ones I enjoyed growing up. Some are no good because I’m not a child any more, some survive on pure nostalgia and some are actually enjoyable. I havent given any modern kids cartoons a chance, because I’m not the target audience and I have no nostalgia attached.
I do watch tiny kids cartoons as a parent, but Bluey is pretty much the only one I can actually enjoy sometimes.
I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.
yes. i watched 4 or 5 episodes of Earthworm Jim yesterday. i rewatch Gravity Falls once a year or so. spongebob, pinky and the brain, and many others are all in my lineup
Oh man, I gotta rewatch some Earthworm Jim! That shit was funny.
it’s over the top absurdity and I love it
Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.
But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.
If you haven’t already I would also recommend the other kids shows in the same demographic as Star.
Gravity falls, Amphibia and the Owl House
I’ve seen some gravity falls, really liked the characters.
Haven’t watched the other two, how are they?
Both great stories told in cartoon form.
Owl house is my favourite of them, but Amphibia has a really good arc with great humour as well
I’ve been wanting to rewatch Star vs. The Forces of Evil. I love that show. What do you think of it so far?
