I’m of the age where I grew up with Nickelodeon, watching even the worst of their output, which was probably ‘National Geographic Explorer’ at the time. Still, after I went off to college, the true horror arrived: Rugrats. I try not to be negative guy, and I really respect a lot of the actors involved in the show, but Rugrats is just… I can’t… It’s… If there were an Oscar for ‘Cartoon You Cannot Stand’, Clasky/Csupo would have a room full of little gold statues. The art style, the premise and especially the voice work upset me in ways I cannot fully articulate, leading to today’s forever-in-reruns query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) fears talking about the show for fear of losing my membership card and blazer from The Tara Strong Fan Club, asking: Which animated property wins the crown of the cartoon you CANNOT STAND?

South Park past age 25 or so.
Oof. That one has been a problem for me for a loooong time. I can’t quite get past the “caring about anything is stupid and makes you stupid” undertones of it all.
