Hive13says...*promote
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, September 26th, 2011 11:14pm PDT - promote requested by Hive13.
DerHasisttotsays...FUCK THIS IS AWESOME! \\nn//
Fadesays...*quality is simply not descriptive enough.
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Fade.
GeeSussFreeKsays...Besides the basic concept and overall theme being beyond awesome, that animation is about 100x better than I remember for animated cartoons in my day!
mxxconsays...Not a bad attempt.
But Daffy's voice is totally wrong! Also that metal tune is a bit too simple...Dethklok should've chimed in.
Jinxsays...wizard
mas8705says...The video only gets an upvote for being an interesting music video... Outside of that though, I hate this show with a passion for being completely stupid and sometimes offensive...
I mean, Daffy in the old cartoons was either so crazy, he can outwit anyone, or he was so clever, he can make anyone do anything he wants (of course, when bugs is involved, Daffy gets knocked down one or two notches...) Now imagine that Daffy stayed in that "Outwited" status for every single episode...
He makes Jar Jar look like Samuel L Jackson! Daffy is so incredibly stupid you wonder why even he exists (One episode dedeciated to him not getting his newpaper and he spends the whole episode accusing his neighbors and at the end you find out he never renewed the paper... Where's the Humor!?!)...
I'm sorry, there are very few things that set me off in this world, and while current cartoons are one of them, new cartoons being based off of old cartoons is like a slap to the face...
Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...I also don't like the show - but mostly because it just isn't FUNNY. I've watched entire episodes and never so much as chuckled. It just doesn't have any real zip. The rebooted Scooby Doo cartoon has more humor in it. And what they are doing to Bugs Bunny is just a crime. He has gone from being a wise-guy protagonist to being a flavorless straight-man. He isn't funny at all.
But I have to disagree (a little) on Daffy. Daffy was only the 'clever, crazy' character for about a third of his animated shorts - and those were all in the beginning of his career as a character. After a while, he shifted from 'crazy/clever' into a variety of roles. Heck - he was even the 'bad guy' in a lot of the Speedy Gonzalez shorts.
I agree with you. I liked him a lot better when he was absolutely zonkers. Some of my favorite DD shorts are the ones where he is an obnoxious, loony pest and Porky Pig is the frustrated by what he's doing. Those were where Daffy was at his best.
The video is OK. The show really just blows chunks. It takes some of the funniest cartoon characters America ever created, and turns them into an episode of Seinfeld without the humor. Hopefully they figure this out at some point and fix it. I like the Road Runner / Wiley shorts though - they actually are funny and keep the characters true.
PureAwesomeTacosays...Daffy isn't stupid. He just doesn't give a shit. He, more than any other character, defines his own reality, even if that reality only exists in his head. This clip gives you a glimpse of that, but the rest of the episodes explore that theme even more. He does what he wants and doesn't care much what other people think. This is what makes him awesome, but there's ramifications as well.
It's a fairly mature concept for a 'kids' cartoon (as iTunes categorizes it). That's partly why I think the show is brilliant. This isn't a show that simply recreates the old cartoons, nor does it try to make the Looney Tunes into a more modern kids cartoon. This show is squarely aimed at people who grew up with these cartoons and are now ready to see how those characters act in more mature situations. Yes, to a certain degree, it is basically Seinfeld with Looney Tunes characters. But I'm OK with that. It's a nice blend. And a hell of alot better than Space Jam.
Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...Being better than Space Jam isn't exactly shooting for the moon...
gharksays...they are just trying to appeal to a large audience, one that watches TV and eats fast food and wants to feel special about it.
