what is your favourite cartoon?

I'm not sure about what exactly you are asking, whether it's cartoon series, or individual cartoon episode, or what.

My impulse is to think back to my favorite individual episode of something, and I am also ruling out modern cartoons like The Simpsons, The Family Guy, Futurama and others.

So my answer is the old old cartoon called "Slang."

This was about a guy who had died and was going to heaven, and he is being questioned at heaven's gate by St. Peter about his life and death. Since the guy loads his speech with slang terms, he confuses St. Peter tremendously. He's always saying stuff like, "We painted the town red," "The judge sprung me," "I was a beach comber," "He drew a gun on me," "I couldn't cut the mustard," "The cook was shorthanded," etc. The cartoon is done with the guy narrating the visual interpretations of his slang that St. Peter would be seeing, since he is taking the guy literally. It's very funny to watch.

Another favorite of mine is "School Daze," about a kid named Ralph Philips, whose imagination runs away with him, and may well have been the inspiration for Calvin.

Oh, and I also always loved the pseudo-documentary cartoons, like "The Car of Tomorrow," or the one about animals spiced together with other animals or objects. They were hilarious.

Simpsons, Futurama, Initial D

 

when it comes to animated movies, I like Monsters Inc. the most

regular cartoons are:
Rocko's Modern Life
Simpson's
All the Looney Tunes
Ren & Stimpy
Spongebob

 

It has got to be the Simpsons, wins every time!

Its really, really funny! Adult humor too!

And it has so many hidden depths, like mayor Quimby is JFK, Beauvier (Marges maiden name) was JFK's wife Jackies maiden name.

More suprising is the enormous amout of irony used, concidering its american!

I love the way it takes the mickey out of real life things, like politics and religion!
