Once upon a time, animators would draw funny faces solely to make you laugh. They felt natural because they were simple, a character that was annoyed would furrow their brows and maybe pout their lip a little.
Now animators know about memes, they try to draw the funniest face imaginable in the hopes of viewers posting it everywhere.

the internet poisoned your mind

OP is right, see modern SpongeBob as an example

>>149284221 (OP)
reminds me of modern spongebob (by "modern" i mean contemporary spongebob since Stephen Hillenburg's death, not just any post-movie)

it's all way too exaggerated and overdone to the point that it looks so ugly

>cartoons didn't had exaggerated expressions before the internet

>>149284343
That wasn't solely created for viral memes.

>they try to draw the funniest face imaginable in the hopes of viewers posting it everywhere
In other words, they're still drawing faces to make people laugh, you just don't like that they're doing it on the internet for some reason.

They're both created to be funny.
It's not that deep and even if it is created so it becomes a "meme" then what of it? isn't a meme supposed to be funny? so in the end it's all just gags to make people laugh! it's all the same thing!!

>>149284221 (OP)
Those were the days

>in the hopes of viewers posting it everywhere
Wouldn't that make people laugh?

>>149284221 (OP)
Shut the fuck up, you giant retard.

It is that deep. the intentions and foreknowledge an artist has affects his art.

>>149284984
both intentions are to be "funny" and to make something that looks "weird" and "funny"
Honestly it's less about how the faces look or "feel" but how often they resort to making them.
Like making a funny face is fine but if they make one every 20 seconds THEN you can come crying saying they're trying to hard to be a meme.

>>149284221 (OP)
lol okay boomer

>niggers here will argue that Gumball making Dragon Ball faces and meme faces aren't doing it for the meme
They might think it's funny, but the thought of "there will be tons of memes posted of our show" definitely crosses their minds

>>149286004
and..?

>>149286004
>niggers here
>Here
This isn't twitter. Tawog threads always shit on Gumball's meme faces

>>149284221 (OP)
The Simpsons has shit art, your aesthetic judgments are nonsense because it’s your standard

>>149285988
Shut up zoomerfag

>>149286031
It’s stupid

>>149284343
Except OP never said that. Funny faces back then were drawn to be funny faces. Bugs didn't pull a face like that every single time he moved. Only when he needed to be funny.

>>149284721
Memes are funny, but not when you try to force them.

>>149284969
This image is so fucking unacceptable. Fuck you.

I think the main problem is cartoons like newer Spongebob seem to be relying on exaggerated faces alone for laughs. I watched the recent time travel episode, and no one was saying anything witty or amusing, they just pulled a face for a joke.

>>149284221 (OP)
You're right, not sure why the twitter army is seething so hard about it so hard trying to gaslight you.

Ai Art is Foul to Behold.
