Bumblebee from Transformers (G1). He was my favorite toy of the Minibots...heck, I'd put him up high in general. Then I saw him get "kid friendly character" abuse from certain TF fans. Thankfully people remembered Wheelie existed, so Bee got cut some slack.

I'm a huge fan of the original Teen Titans cartoon and I can tell you that I don't hate Teen Titans Go for being a deviation of the original comics. I hate it because the characters are stupid annoying jerkfaces(mostly Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin. Especially Robin. I want to stab him in his stupid face.), A lot of the humor feels forced(Waffles? Really?), and it's played all the damn time! It's pretty much the new Johnny Test of Cartoon Network. I really wanted to like the show and I did at first, but over time I've begun to resent it's existence. Teen Titans Go! is probably the one cartoon where I have absolutely no idea why it's supposed to be funny. Granted, I don't really understand the humor in a lot of cartoons today like (Uncle Grandpa comes to mind), but everyone on Teen Titans Go comes off as so unlikable that it stuns me to know that it's the #1 show on Cartoon Network. You know it's bad when all five of them have a page on Villains Wiki, that's right they are listed on a Wikia for Villains. And that's correct, I'd get it if it was a more light hearted tone and comedic but still have some of the traits and characteristics of the original, but the fact that each and everyone of them comes off as unrepenent sociopathic assholes I have no desire to watch, as well as those who run the show taking pot shots at Young Justice and Green Lantern which were axed so it could be on there.

David Hasselhoff. I've always assumed he was the one thing we as humans could agree on. Then I found out there are terrible people out there that are unable to let the utter joy of Hasselhoff's music career infiltrate their hearts. I feel sad for them.

Pootie Tang. The film is a goddamned masterpiece. Sa da tey!!! Probably in my top 25 comedies of all time. Also glad to see some love for Amazing Spider-Man 2. Yes if you pick it apart, it's a mess....but I could probably pick apart It Happened One Night until it looks like a pile of garbage as well. If you just want to sit back and turn your brain off for 2 hours, ASM2 is far more enjoyable than any other Spidey movie, IMO.

So they bury both shows on Teen Titans Go Away? What have they said or done? My thing is this: not only is TTGA Cartoon Network's "baby," like the Johnny Test and Scooby-Doo reruns before it, but it has no staying power. The shorts worked better because it was just small doses. I'm supposed to like full episodes of chibi versions of the original chibi versions of the Titans doing SO RANDOM and SO WACKY things? How is someone besides a kid going to be invested in this? Like I said before, more kids' shows are lacking the mass appeal ones of the past had. And I can name other DC Shorts that would have made better series. (yes I'd even endure another season of MAD...)
