Regular Show began on this same date, 15 years ago in September 6th, 2010

Why did MAD fail while Regular Show became a huge hit? Both shows premiered the same day.

I saw this premiere and thought "God damn, every Cartoon Network premiere is even better than the last! I can't wait to see what comes next!"

>This show is old enough enough to be in high school.
Time is horrible and I don't like it.

>>150230811
MAD didn't totally flop though, it got 4 seasons and over 100 episodes though it was mostly forgotten after it ended because it was too reliant on early 2010s pop culture, the jokes weren't very good most of the time and it was overshadowed by Robot Chicken

Listen for some kino

Does that mean Regular Show is retro now?

>>150231073
Give it 5 more years and legally it will be

>>150231087
So 2006 will be retro next year?

>>150231100
Nah, time keeps rolling but cultural waves just stopped. People complain about "modern shows" and cite Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa. People mock "modern music" and talk about hits from 2012.

>>150231073
Feels like Regular Show's been retro for a while now.

>>150230811
The truth is we left it behind cause almost every skit was ugly as fuck, had annoying voice acting by the creator, and reused the same jokes over and over again.

>>150231073
Post the 3DS game on /vr/ and see what they say.

You know who else is retro?

>>150231141
>People mock "modern music" and talk about hits from 2012.
I mean it doesn't help that a lot of the same artists are still charting. Most of the people that have been at the top of the charts lately are artists from 15-ish years ago.

>>150231141
American pop culture just kinda cratered around the mid 2010s for some reason

>>150231073
The CHECK it 1.0 era of Cartoon Network feels really different from the modern channel so i'd say so

>>150230811
I still find it weird that they parodied Sanjay and Craig, i guess that's that show's biggest legacy

>>150231184
I miss Benson

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN

>>150231679
Are you a retard? that show is sucked, dumb zoomer.

>>150231990
Yeah that's why is said the parody is Sanjay and Craig's biggest legacy

do Mordecai and Rigby do drugs?

>>150230819
Now nothing's coming out

>>150231141
Well to be fair, Steven Universe is one of the last shows that came out when people still cares about cartoons, i don't see anyone talking about any post-2015 cartoon other than massive spergs

>>150230811
>lololol what if we put two properties together because one of the words in the title is similar to the other one's

>>150232330
Sometimes it worked. Twilight and The Big Bang Theory were built off of love triangles. Sometimes it didn't. Like The Big Bird Theory.

>introduce a character with a special where he saves the park
>he doesn't do much afterwards
>make him a Russian spy who secretly killed people and tries to steal the park
>then write him off the show
That was weird.

>>150230841
Dexter's Lab's pilot is old enough to have a midlife crisis

>>150230890
Mordecai's voice sounds awful.

>>150232371
>Plenty of 9 year olds have seen Community, The Social Network, Cloverfield, and Source Code, they'll all get the references

>>150232573
Absolutely wrong

>>150232588
This show is how i found out about Jersey Shore, i wish i hadn't found out about it at all.

>>150232573
>Not appreciating unconventional vocals
I bet you hate Bob Dylan too, pleb.

>>150232624
Bob Dylan is a hippie jew

>>150232634
So?

>>150232634
That has nothing to do with his singing pleb, only plebs care about artists beyond the music they make.

>>150230779 (OP)
If you weren't 15 in 2010, you are a zoomer.

>>150230779 (OP)
Where the hell are they going?

>>150230811
Harvey Weinstein showed up in a scene of this show

>>150232588
Why did they make all of the characters that they were parodying look so weird?

It was so fucking weird

>>150230811
im so god damn tired of template spam posts, why the fuck did this retarded post get 6 responses?

tfw tomorrow we are going to be closer to it's 20th anniversary than it's 10th.

>>150230811
They tried to make MAD specifically for kids instead of just making it mild enough to air on CN. So we ended up with a show where most of the kids watching it can understand the jokes, but don't find them funny, when it could and should have been the reverse.

>>150233914
We're already closer to 2035 than to 2015

>>150230819
What was the day you stopped thinking that?

>>150231141
>>150231500
Why DID everything just stall out around then? Like I still see people reference stuff from 10+ years ago as if it's contemporary, but then I realize either nothing's really replaced it or said thing is still relevant. Like I don't think broad popular culture's been this stuck since the 50s.

>>150233860
>Trotsky, Marx, and Lenin dancing in the background

>>150233823
Daron Nefcy drew that one.

>>150233991
I think companies just kinda gave up after the great recession and just made safe shit, the first couple years still had some stuff but after that everything died

>>150233114
Harvey Weinstein is a clown.

>>150234067
>When I said "safe" I meant "guaranteed hit" not "write stories devoid of any suspense"

Is this the peak hipster-era show?

FUCK YOU SKIPS AND FUCK GORILLAS

>>150233991
Everything stagnated when kids started watching Youtube instead. Also they hired boring millennial foids that only make boring shows about feelings.

>>150233991

>>150234391
Dope.

>>150234517
Yeah, he's a dope

>>150231983
I never understood why Rigby decided to beat up Pops and Skips, Muscle Man and Mordecai constantly picked on him but the other two didn't really do anything to him

>>150232588
As someone who actually was around 9 or ten at the time, yeh I didn't understand shit in terms of references, and I mainly just got annoyed

>>150234657
I didn't understand any of the references but i still found it funny because i just saw it as absurd shit, i didn't know some of the things in the show were real and i thought they just made it up

>>150233991
One day, future generations will get to watch South Park mock Tech Start-ups and Reality TV editing and the latest dumb hit movie. They must never know that in 2015 they dropped the "I don't care about anything so I'm better than everyone" act.

>>150233991
Only boomers and babies watch TV anymore

>>150233842
>>150233860
How did CN let them show this shit?

>>150234923
That post isn't just talking about TV.

>>150235057
Yeah but that's why nobody cares about tv shows made after the early 2010s except for Squid Game, nobody watches it except for babies and old people

>>150234982
It was a different time

>>150231141
When i hear "modern music" i think of mumble rap and soundcloud shit from 2018

What's your favorite episode?

>>150231371
only fags like that shit.

>>150233860
Lenin is canon in the CN universe?

>>150233114
I always thought he looked absolutely disgusting even before the allegations came out.

>>150232485
What they did with CJ was way worse, she didn't even get a conclusion like Thomas, she just ran away crying and then was never acknowledged again

>>150232573
third world taste.

>>150233991
Can you give some examples of stuff that hasn't been replaced?

>>150235466
Mussolini is already canon so

>>150235290
Anything Benson related, Fuzzy Dice, Really Real Wrestling, Over the Top, The Hammer, Muscle Man coping with his dad's death and the one with the movie night and zombies. The Christmas episodes are pretty cool too.

>>150230811
>>150230861
The ideal MAD show would have to be something like Simpsons where its okay "for families", but not afraid to show things like cursing or push the envolope. You can't really do satire and parody while being constrained. I mean, you can, but it'll be much more difficult.

Simpsons could have swearing, gore, jiggling breasts, and it was still funny without seeming tryhardy and what not. Cartoon Network could benefit from a show like that.

>>150236349
So basically a teen-version of Robot Chicken?

>>150236266
I liked the one where he avenged his disciple who got decapitated in a table hockey match

>>150236266
Fuzzy Dice was ruined by Steak Me Amadeus

>>150230779 (OP)
I wanna kill myself. I was 10 then. What the fuck happened to time.

Side note this is probably my generation's most nostalgic show. Everyone has positive memories of it. I remember watching this show with my dad and sister and we loved it. We went to Toys R Us one day and saw all the Regular Show stuff and bought us almost everything. He loved the show that much. Good times.

>>150236676
you could say it was a jolly good show

>>150236383
Yeah, basically. But with a different art style/more of a mixed media approach. Mad could satirize content that resonates with teenagers. Robot Chicken can do that, but honestly, I think it could be more difficult for them.

When Robot Chicken parodies all ages media, it has to be pretty relevant for the time. But Mad could parody something that Teens are likely to be reading in school right now, or a movie marketed to them that they've just seen with their friends.

Now, Mad and Robot Chicken can naturally go for BIG media properties like Mario, the Avatar movie and such, but I think there's a few things that would just be clear territory for both. There's more nuances involved, but I think that's out of the scope of this conversation.

>>150233982
not him but I think when steven universe popped up I realized it was all downhill from here.

>>150236702
I noticed that when Robot Chicken parodies cartoons they're either popular media or preschool stuff which might not be extremely popular

>>150233991
Listen carefully
Culture has been fully fragmented, nothing stays in the public consciousness anymore because there is no common thread anymore. Not when you have a device in your pocket you can pull out and have a completely personalized feed of highly specialized entertainment. Even if you are watching the same thing as someone else, it's not at the same time.

THIS is why there's nothing like Star Wars or Pokemon or Beatlemania anymore. Nothing can get enough of a foothold when I can pull out my phone and watch seventeen videos about the same video game glitch in a row

>>150236701
It was, anon! It was a jolly good show!

>>150236266
Fuzzy Dice is one of the best cartoon episodes of anything. How they managed to do all that so well in 11 minutes is crazy.

>>150233991
I just wish Cartoon Network wouldn't have died with it and Adventure Time going off the air. You are right about pop culture stagnating for that reason. It's like everybody gave up in the late 2010s and they couldn't figure out how to move on. I feel like it's because technology has stagnated (the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 2010s were all defined by sweeping changes to tech) and pop culture has nowhere to go until zoomers get their shit together and they were late/stunted due to the internet and COVID. Millennials have had the ball for like 20 years and all they like is woke or meta shit and it's been exhausted. Like I can't stand it anymore as a zoomer who grew up with it and didn't really like it to begin with. I'm tired of seeing the same cheesy MCU esque soulless banter and woke monologues telling people they are bad. It's old.

>>150236894
Also most modern media is lame as shit, you won't see people revising it in the same way they revisit 70s stuff

im gonna buy some toys for this show to commemorate it turning 15

>>150237220
What toys are you going to buy?

So is there a reason why like, none of the seasons past 3 got any dvd releases in the US

>>150237240
Please don't laugh at me

>>150237289
sovlful

>>150237243
Cartoon Network has always been shitty with home media, a ton of shows only got 1 dvd or a couple, a ton of shows have to rely on third party companies from elsewhere to get other episodes and most of them are incomplete

YOUR MOM IS A FAGGOT OOOOOOHHHHH

>>150235102
>>150236939
>Millennials have had the ball for like 20 years
Anon literally everyone in actual positions of power over the last 20 years is either a boomer or gen x. Millennial creators that get picked by them are faggots because that's what THEY want, look at some of those threads we've had about rejected pitches if you want proof. People constantly accused of "Millennial writing" are almost always found out to actually be Gen X. Open your eyes man, the Boomers just shat on Millennials for so long that everyone forgot about Gen X and their actual enshittification of media.

>>150237289
Why is Skips piss yellow

>>150234599
went mad with power

>>150230811
MAD was garbage pseudo-parody.
>Hey what if we took DUNC and Star Wars and pointed out how much the latter stole from the former? That's funny, right?
No, it isn't.

>>150237243
The whole complete series is available now for like $40-60 bucks depending on where you buy it from.

>>150237552
You could not make me believe this. Gen X is not the same generation with rainbow hair and identity politics. That was a 90s baby thing. Boomers are awful though I will give you that. Boomers enabled millennials which is why we are in the situation we're in. Both are "me,me,me" generations.

>>150236939
>>150237552
Yeah like, that cheesy MCU soulless banter was literally coined by a Gen Xer. Gen X doesn't get nearly enough shit for the current state of things.

>>150237671
>Gen X is not the same generation with rainbow hair and identity politics
I mean, that's true of both us and the Millennials. Gen X is just the one that actually has company power because Millennials are too young to be in real positions of power yet. Again, look at the huge swath of rejected pilots and series pitches that were actually interesting and got glanced over for "crying with FEELINGS" type shows. Millennials are not the enemy, they're just useful tools at best and powerless at worst.

>>150237662
It's funny because it's true

>>150237243
In fact, none of the holiday specials (except for the first two installments in the TTOTP series) and Exit 9B (for some reason) weren't included on any of the single disc compilation DVDs

>>150237289
fuck jazwares

>>150237774
Why didn't they include them? I heard the Ben 10 Complete DVD also was missing a shitton of episodes

>>150237289
I hate how all of them look so silly and fun (Pops and Muscle Man) and then you and then you have mordecai and rigby

>>150230811
The main two sketches sucks so much that CN only showcased the better middle sketches of the show in promos months before its premiere
https://youtu.be/Ll-96HdYIHE

>>150238071
Also the main sketches include copyrighted shit so they probably couldn't show it

>>150237774
>>150237941
They didn't include Exit 9B on any of the dvds despite it being one of the most important and beloved episodes of the entire series but they made a DVD that was full of retarded CJ filler episodes which were nothing but set-ups/pre-cursors to how bad the relationshit stuff would get later on

>>150238188
It's specially shitty when you compare it to the Rigby pack that they released before

>>150236572
Never saw the steak. How?

>>150238459
That was the episode where Margaret dumps Mordecai, starting the retarded shipfaggotry in the show

>>150238188
Why would anyone buy this

>>150238188
>no It's Time
>no Brain Eraser
>no fucking Eggscellent
>a bunch of CJ episodes instead and Every Meat Burritos for some reason

>>150238188
Not only that, they also made a Mordecai and Margaret DVD
So they made TWO DVDs dedicated to Mordecai's shitty love life

>>150238188
>no Rage Against the TV
>no Grilled Cheese Deluxe
>no fucking Exit 9B
>a bunch of episodes focusing on and saturating a relationship that doesn't go anywhere (at least not in a positive sense) and Guys Night for some reason, despite that being a Pops episode

this show peaked when Chris Reccardi was the creative director
It just lost its energy more and more after season 1 and I checked out by early season 5

>>150238258
And the "and friends" DVD that includes fan favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons

>>150239050
They released a couple compilation DVDs
There's the Slack Pack (a "Best of" of seasons 1 and 2), theres The Best DVD in the World (a "Best of" of season 3), Fright Pack (horror/supernatural themed episodes) and Party Pack (seems like somewhat party/celebration episodes or ones where they go to some place for recreation)

I think the most recent decade that could be considered "truly" dead is the 40s or 50s

>>150241694
For how much longer is 90s nostalgia going to go on?

>>150238188
>>150238258
And then they decided to not make any more character-themed DVDs for this show ever again after this for some reason

I was around this age in 2010 and if I didn't get a reference I would try to look it up or watch whatever it was parodying to gain more of an appreciation for it. Although I understood most of the references even if I didn't actively watch what they referenced via simply hearing of it.

That being said, Regular Show was a lot cooler (at least in its earlier seasons) than Adventure Time and I think it aged better.

>>150230779 (OP)
I never seen it until recently and it's crazy how well timed this show was. It came out perfectly before tv execs declared being a boy a crime against humanity and it was big enough that by the time that happened they couldn't just cancel it. It really is the last of it's kind, even contemporaries like gumball didn't have as pure of a bro energy as this. And again, I say this as someone that just watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It really is a great show and there won't be anything like it any time soon (unless completely indie).

Anyone remember 2 in the AM PM?

>>150242262
Well he has 5 episodes focusing on him so...

>>150245750
AND IT WASN'T EVEN THAT GREAT AN OF AN EPISODE EXCEPT FOR THE ENDING

>>150238188
How would you make a Mordecai pack, /co/?

>>150230779 (OP)
this show was peak. So peak, I have far too many memories with it. I remember how hyped I was for the movie, back in 2015. It was nice. Regular show and adventure time will always be in my heart, but regular show has my soul to. Im just... glad for being alive as a child when this show aired

I've always associated this show with Fall/Autumn for some reason, maybe the constant tree leaves and the gray-ish sky

Fall 2010 (when this show came out) is when i knew the 2010s truly started

>>150248136
I remember watching the movie online before i saw it on TV

>>150247603
Should've put their names on the wrapper, that or they should've worn their Death Clothes(TM) to the store and ate it on the way home.
Maybe they should just be ready to use the Death Punch at any time since the show never established a drawback to it other than needing to be Death Fashionable, and that's not hard to include in a daily routine even for two dropouts.
