A cartoon historian…
Oh, well, that explains everything.
@CosmicDebris:
If you think there's worse stuff, fine, but no point in denying the obvious just to be contrary.
There's egregiously worse material coming out of Japan or Korea now that puts a cartoon like that to shame; provided you manipulate the criteria, I'm sure you could classify the clip you selected as the "worst of something sometime", but probably not the worst cartoon ever.
Such is like taking Manos: The Hands of Fate and calling it "the worst movie ever" while not taking into account its budget, its location, and its time period. The Blaire Witch Project is terrible, yet it managed to sell and outrageous number of copies of the show; people took the low quality a a gimmick, not a weakness.
I mean, I could direct you to a certain website and ask that you look up the "cartoons" there, which are no more legit than the one you posted. Assuredly, stuff like "I love egg sucks" or "b" are worse than that, but if you disagree there must be some criteria you're checking that you are not being forthwright with, which is my entire point; "worst of something sometime with some contraints".
There isn't any objectivity with stuff like this, nor are there absolutes.
@CosmicDebris:
The standard quality of a much of the 80's cartoons WAS really bad. It was a cheesy idea (that didn't work, only got ridicule, of course), with a cheesy plot, and bad animation. And out of all the licenses they got, they neglected to get Jim Davis's permission to use Garfield, which is why the cartoon was never released again.
Davis has an arsehole as wide as any I have heard of in the comic industry; in comparison to Watterson, he's the Biblical Belial. Frankly, I'm not surprised in the slightest.
