The 10 Most Insane, Child-Warping Moments of ’80s Cartoons
March 25, 2008
Toplessrobot.com created an awesome list of the terrible 80’s Cartoon images that should not have been shown to children. Sadly, neither animators or Ronald Reagan gave a shit about us 80’s kids. The topless list missed one of the greatest and most trouble enigma’s of hideously inappropiate cartoon history. Ladies and gentlemen I submit to you.. Tranzor Z:
(in spanish - but you’ll get the idea.. its screwed up)
The ‘80s were supposed to be a harmless time for toys and the cartoons that sold them. In spite of this, cartoons sometimes snuck in certain moments that were clearly designed to break impressionable minds and pervert the youth of America. Here are the 10 worst.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo (and other lame 80s cartoons)
September 9, 2006
My daughter loves “A Pup Named Scooby Doo” and almost every other cartoon on Boomerang. As I watch it, I realize how many very aweful cartoons I watched as a kid. I’m not talking about cultural phenoms like transformers, or Thundercats or even G.I. Joe (which is actually pretty bad when I watch it now).
I am talking about the following:
A Pup Named Scooby doo
Mr. T (cartoon)Chuck Noris (cartoon)
M.C. Hammer (cartoon)
Ghost Busters (not to be confused with the “Real Ghost Busters” which was awesome, this one was based on some 70’s CBS show of the same name)

If you are going to sit there and tell me that these cartoons weren’t that bad, you are a flippin’ LIAR! You’re the worst kind of liar, the kind that lies to themselves!
Dear Liar,
Stop lying to yourself.
Signed, 80sfreak
Many 80’s cartoons are very, very bad. The Smurfs, the Snorks, even classics like My Little Pony, the Carebears and others are horribly, horribly written and repitious enough to make you hang your head in shame.
I’m not saying that the concepts weren’t good. Some really speak for themselves because the merchandizing, remakes and movies are still selling 20 years later. But just look at a cartoon like a Pup Named Scooby Doo and a cartoon like Catscratch. The art on a Pup Named Scooby Doo is THE laziest work I have EVER seen (outside of some of the garbage on Adult Swim which is done that way intentionally). It is almost like it was animated out of contempt for the viewers of such complete stupidity.
Ralph Bakshi pointed out the bad quality in his Ren & Stimpy Adult Party DVD. He mentions that there was such a lack of quality in 80s (North American) animation that animators HATED their jobs and literally burned scripts as a joke.

80s Girl Cartoons
January 23, 2006
I hated all cartoons that were market for girls. This is because I had three sisters and everytime Rainbow Brite or Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone or She-Ra, Gem, or strawberry shortcake came on, I had to argue with them about watching more important cartoons like: Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, and others.
I did like the She-Ra tie-in with he man. Sometimes you'd see the same villian from He Man take shots at She-Ra. And the art was great just like He Man. My sisters thought that Gem was truly outrageous… truly, truly, truly outrageous, but I thought her and Synergy sucked. She was kinda hot for a poorly rendered 80s cartoon. But why were the Misfits so weak.
And then you have the REALLY girlly cartoons: Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite and Carebears. I despised these shows. I could not figure out why they loved these cartoons so much. Since I was the oldest I'd already out grown the baby stuff and actually wanted stuff to blow up or fly off a cliff every once in a while during the show. The really girly shows didn't have any Third Earth Mutants, no demonic sorcerers, or people living is Skull shaped castles and definitely no robots in disguise. All they had were rainbows, belly ”care” beams in the shape of hearts, berry loving sprites skipping gayly through candy cane forests… Stuff that make you want to put a cute little bunny in a sling shot!
The funny thing is that now that I'm an old man with my own little girl, I love that girly baby stuff because my daughter loves it.
