Throughout my entire life, I have never stopped watching cartoons. However, the cartoons I've watched overtime have changed. I started with shows/movies like, 'Winnie the Pooh,' but quickly I discovered Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. Shows like 'Spongebob,' 'Teen Titans' and 'Ed, Edd and Eddy' were shows I grew up loving. Over the years, my tastes have changed, even though I still admire and like many '90s cartoons. Here are a list of my top 5 favorite cartoons (in no particular order):
1. 'Futurama'
This show makes me chuckle, bust a gut and even cry. All the characters are absolutely amazing and relatable. Almost every punchline is delivered perfectly too! There is no denying that Matt Groening is a genius when it comes to funny cartoons made for adults. Nearly every episode of 'Futurama' is so memorable because the crew gets themselves in hilarious and wacky situations. However, there are episodes where I cry, such as the episode, 'Jurassic Bark'. This was one of the standout classics!
2. 'Bob's Burgers'
The Belchers are one of my favorite cartoon families. Each family member has their own unique personality and quirky traits. Louise is probably one of my favorite characters because of her crazy schemes and hilarious commentary. Even the side characters are great, such as Teddy, the loveable, slow-witted family friend. Another reason I love this show is because they send a great message each season by encouraging the idea of being different!
3. 'Archer'
'Archer' is another hilarious cartoon with voice actor, H. Jon Benjamin, as the main character. His delivery for both characters, Archer and Bob, are stupendous! One way I would describe 'Archer' is as a James Bond parody. It shows the journey of a handsome super-spy through his strange and dangerous missions around the globe. He usually gets his crew/agency into trouble, but almost always gets them out of it too. This cast of characters are unique and inappropriately hilarious!
4. 'Rick and Morty'
Rick has reunited with his family after 20 years of not being in the picture. He stays in the garage, where he has transformed it into a lab. Morty, his grandson, accompanies Rick on crazy adventures to other galaxies and dimensions. 'Rick and Morty' cracks me up during every episode. There are cool and funny songs, amazing characters and concepts. Some episodes are serious, while most are hilarious and wacky. This is a fantastic show to check out!
5. 'Bojack Horseman'
'Bojack Horseman' is an original Netflix series, starring Will Arnett, as Bojack, a miserable humanoid horse. The greatness of 'BoJack Horseman' may be that it tells of comedy and despair. Bojack tries making a comeback from his '90s sitcom, 'Horsing Around'. Throughout his journey, he always self-loathes and drinks his way back to stardom. However, it costs Bojack his friends and his sanity. It's a fantastic show with a great premise and, the occasional, serious topic.
Right now, all these shows are on Netflix! I highly recommend them, and encourage you to check them out.
