I'll never understand where the idea that "Chuck Jones is overrated" came from. Like, if you actually watch his stuff, you'll find that most of his cartoons are some of the funniest films ever produced.

As far as billionaires go, Ted Turner was one of the better ones. At least he spent his fortune on some fun TV channels, grill burgers and share his love of wrasslin' and cartoons with the world. That's more than Musk or Trump have ever done with their lives.

It's not just that America is destroying itself, it's that we're destroying ourselves for the dumbest possible reasons. We're gonna pay $6 gas soon because people got mad at things like an all-women Ghostbusters and Jemelle Hill hosting SportsCenter. It's so stupid.

"Plot Holes" are fine. Movies need to make emotional sense before they do logical. If you don't notice a plot hole until waaay after the movie ends, then the writer did their keeping you emotionally invested in the characters and story. Most plot holes are nitpicking pedantry.

As a kid, I assumed Lew Lehr must be some incredibly famous guy that all adults knew because of how often he was spoofed in cartoons. Turns out, he was a newsreel host in the 1930s that is mainly remembered today through cartoon parodies.

Looney Tunes is essentially a meme bank for 1930s-1950s pop culture. So many phrases and gags (e.g. "I'm only 3 and a half!") were pulled straight from radio shows. Today's equivalent is Smiling Friends featuring the "number 15 burger king foot lettuce" guy. Same principle.

Etch! 💥@sketching204

reading up on the history of looney tunes is so cool like an lot of the most iconic aspects of those characters was influenced by the culture of its time and we don't even realize it because we are so far removed

Genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Tim Heidecker and Connor O’Malley have been asymptotically approaching it, but no one has achieved this.
