Something You Never Did Get

Maybe it was the pokemon page on the "It Just Bugs Me" section...

Has there ever been something from a cartoon or an anime that makes no sense to you? Something you tend to question alot. I know animation isn't supposed to be logical, but at least there were some justifications. Now, there are some that don't have any. Also a case of reaserch not being done, so that might lead to plotholes and other annoying stuff.
 
Along with him gaining over 10,000 pounds, getting an eyeglass prescription, and gaining an entirely different personality.

Was he really 5 in Family Guy? He looked more like a 10 year old to me...

I just learned to accept the fact that some Family Guy characters will age and most won't a long time ago. It looks to me ages are only changed when it suits the plot. For instance, at the beginning Chris was 13, but there was an episode that had him become 14 just to high school and experiencing the pain of being a freshman. Ages are only changed when it's conveinient to the plot.
 
My list I'd imagine would be pretty big, but not a huge amount of things are coming to mind.

The first that is coming to mind is sadly my confusion with the Warden's age. Yes I know, trying to pull logic out of Superjail is like trying to find death metal in the Jonas Brothers, but I kept trying to figure out why the Warden in the season finale episode looked to be from a 40's time period as a baby but that would imply that he'd be much older than my father. (Which of course he's not; he's modeled off of David Wain who is early 50's at most.)

Also I guess I'll bring up how on Family Guy Meg manages to have a birthday and turn 17 while Stewie has been 1 for God knows how long. I know that having him grow older would be a horrible idea, but then why not just keep everyone else from aging though to be consistent?
 
The term is called SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Age Syndrome), where they take a young child, send him away for a bit, then he comes back as a teenager.

They do it all on the time in t.v. land:

- Nicky on 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'
- Chrissy on 'Growing Pains'
- I don't watch it, but I heard they did it to some on the 'Ghost Whisperer' cast.
- I'll bet that Dr. Cox's son Jack will be a teenager within the next year or so of 'Scrubs'
 
Me - yes.
I had just started watching Code Geass on adult swim about a month or two ago. It was near the end of the series. Like 6 or 8 episodes away from the very end, and i started to very quickly gain much intrest in the show. And now i look forward to it more than ANYTHING on adult swim's saturday night anime block from Midnight to 6 AM.

But even though the sereies just restarted a few weeks ago or so from the very beginning, i still like it very much.

However, i seriously dont understand this show at all, it never makes sense to me!! ....but it always holds my intrest for some reason...
 
I doubt it. There wouldn't be any point to doing that (not that there was any point for the other SORAs examples you listed). It just doesn't sound like something Bill Lawrence would want. I get the impression that they're quite fond of toddler Jack, since he's been around all this time.

Anyway, I could easily make an (at the very least) 2 paragraph rant on all the things that make no sense with Da Rules in The Fairly OddParents, but I bet everyone that watches the show are aware of all those stuff anyway and just don't question.
 
I remember an episode of Dexter's Lab where Dee Dee became friends with one of Dexter's robots. It started firing lasers in her room when her mom came upstairs to tell her to keep it down. I really confused how the mom couldn't see a 12 foot stinkin' robot standing there.
 
I remember in a Billy & Mandy episode called 'Wild Parts', the Nasalmancer who stole Billy's nose said "so I deviated in Septumber" and Mandy was shown with a "of brother" look on her face. For a while I didn't get it but now I do. It's from 'Nasal septum deviation' which is a physical disorder of the nose involving the nasal septum. If anyone else was boggled with that scene there's your closure.



I always thought that it was because she was so close in age with them. And that has worked out fine with me so far.



I'd like to read what you have to say. I don't recall anything in Da Rules that doesn't make sense.
 
Danny never explains why he decided to erase his parents his memories after they accepted him for being a superhero in "Reality Trip".

It was a pretty dumb move.
 
has no one given you the birds and the bees talk? You see, when a man and a woman love eachother...

Given that goku and chichi had no problem i don't see it as much of an issue. earthling and saiyan biology is similar enough that they can have offspring that also aren't sterile like the offspring of a horse and a zebra.

I don't think they say that they are actually married. they just live together. Vegeta may be a Saiyan but he has the same fundamental needs as every human. He desires human connection. Plus, Bulma doesn't take crap from people. That's probably something that attracted him to her.
 
I was just watching the Bugs Bunny cartoon Rabbit Fire, and during the scene when Bugs and Daffy are trying to convince Elmer of the best way to eat each other, Daffy pulls a "1001 Ways To Cook A Rabbit" book out of Bugs' rabbit hole. Now, why on earth would Bugs have such a book in his home?
 
One thing I'm not sure I get is this scene from a South Park episode.

The boys are in the sewer looking for their "friend", and they run into Mr. Garrison down there, who claimed to be "hanging out". He asks the boys if they know how to file a police report, and the boys say no. Then he says "good".
 
I don't get why the part where SpongeBob is watching adult programming, for a lack of better words, is in the episode about learning to tie your shoes. Was it supposed to even it out?
