The Imponderable Questions of the Cartoon World

Perhaps they simply came to the realization that Orbity was just a useless fodder character and pulled a Chuck Cunningham (ref: Happy Days) with him.
 
The same question can go to Cartman.

How come in the three episodes of the Simpsons that focus on Bart and Lisa in the future, their world is more futuristic when they're teens than when they're adults.
Did anyone else notice this?
 
Very weak continuity, like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, SeaLab 2021, and Pinky & The Brain.

Which leads mean to ask, how can Pinky & The Brain have stories that take place in certain time periods? Did they use that time machine from that one episode? If so, why don't they just go back in time and try to do it again, that would've made for a fun episode. Pinky just does something insignificant that ends up ruining Brain's plan, they just go back in time & do it again, sort of like like "Time & Punishment" in The Simpsons THOH 5.


You mean Kenny, right?
 
Re: Pinky and the Brain:

My theory (when the show was still on the air and someone asked) was that they'd time-travel back in time to a specific era (1960s Vegas, the Middle Ages, 1939 New York, etc.) as part of some world-domination scheme of Brain's, but the means of time-travel they used rendered the mice amnesiac about their true temporal origins. The mice would thus assume they actually lived in that time-era, and lived out something similar to their usual lives while in the past... eventually of course, the amnesia wore off, and the mice would head back to the present.

I came up with the "explanation" to suggest why Brain doesn't think television would catch on in "Mice Don't Dance" (at the '39 World's Fair)...

More re: the Flintstones:

Someone asked about Ben Franklin, so....

In an original series episode, the Flintstones and Rubbles visit the Bedrock World's Fair (this episode made during the real-world 1964 New York World's Fair, which got a lot of hype at the time). One of the exhibits is an inventor's time machine, which sends people through time, but only at random (a la a slot machine). Fred and the gang volunteer as guinea pigs, and the families are sent to the "future"----to: ancient Rome (where they're thrown to the lions); October, 1492 (Columbus' voyage to the New World, where Columbus thinks they're stowaways); Camelot (where Fred's forced to joust against the Black Knight for a maiden's hand); Philadelphia in 1752 (where they meet Ben Franklin, think the name "Philadelphia" is a funny name for a city, and help him discover electricity, which they'd never heard of); and finally, 1964's World's Fair, where they get chased by the police. They're soon afterwards yanked back to the Stone Age by the inventor's time machine, tell him the future stinks, and head for home.

(This also is the earliest evidence that blows a hole in the "they're really in a post-apocalyptic future" theory, if the gang considers the bulk of human history as "the future"...).

Think this was the first time they showed the Flintstones traveling through time (other instances I recall: a visit to 25th century Bedrock via the Great Gazoo; the "Jetsons Meet the Flintstones"; a Capt. Caveman cartoon where he, Betty and Wilma IIRC visit what I assume was 20th century Bedrock, in pursuit of a villain named "Futuro" who'd traveled back in time to the Stone Age to use his "futuristic" powers to rob Bedrock blind.).
 
That's so convoluted, it just might be the answer.

Here's another one, if Shelbyville is so much superior to Springfield, how come they allow something as stupid as incest?
 
Or maybe it was just another Pinky and the Brain who lived in another time period, just like there are other Mickey Mouses, Bugs Bunnys and Ren and Stimpys who live in different places and time periods.
 
It was hinted in R that her childhood friend molly may know usagi is SM.

If it makes you fell better( or it probely won`t) The sailor scouts don`t recognises their human enemy when they dress up as normal people. No wonder they always fall in traps.:sweat:
 
In Superfriends, why did people like sinestro, brainiac, and gorilla grodd allow themselves to be bossed around by lex luthor, a guy who has no superpowers, and is in fact weaker than all 3 of the aforementioned villains?
 
While were at it, why are the Deceptacons lead by Megatron, who transforms into a gun that has to be held by someone else in order to be fired? Couldn't the Deceptacons just glue his parts shut in gun mode?
 
There is many scenes of people fishing and underwater scenes in Pok?mon that show non-Pok?mon fishes. Birds are sometime shown I believe.

I believe Penny got her computer book from the professor who made Gadget, well Gadget. It seems to also be her school work computer. The book itself isn't a secret to anyone. It's just how she uses it that is.

Isn't Drake an accountant or some other white collar profession??

Don't the Scooby gang have a band?

Smurfs don't reproduce sexually. Every Blue Moon night a baby smurf is delivered by a stork. Plain and simple.

Gargamel originally wanted to capture the Smurfs to make gold, for he found a formula asking for six Smurfs. Some writers for the serie didn't get the memo and just made him into a smurf-eater XD And after a number of failiures it just got personnal.

and Gargamel lives in a hovel because he's a CRUMMY wizard XD



Yup they are. Their head are rather flat too.



I know Penny was shown in class in at least one episode. And that was prior to Capeman too! (I have trouble considering the Capeman era eps to be canon with the first serie XD )

I like your Gargamel explanaition.
 
How come they never explained what planet the humans in Buzz Lightyear's universe came from?

Also why they didn't explain the origins of the Teen Titans in the cartoon?
