Pretty sure this used to be called cartooning / animation
Like was "You're dethpicable" really such an amazing line that having Daffy make a funny face would detract from it
Watch some old cartoons sometimes Mark. There's actually not a lot of dialogue! It's mostly funny drawings! If Spongebob is too much for you, there are plenty of Adult Animated Sitcoms with lots of verbal jokes & almost zero funny expressions!
I think the platonic ideal of comedy cartoons for these guys must be, like, Fairly OddParents where the designs are "cartoony" in a simplified (bland) way & the tone is silly but the writing is all rapid-fire jokes without a lot of actual animation that deviates from model sheets
I have been informed that this character married a lady 10 years his senior? These Animation YouTuber guys have "issues"!

What's to say? It's a stiff bland modern style cartoon

Actual hispanic cartoonists are still in 2005 aesthetically. Nothing's evolved since then, people still like wacky cartoony stuff & anime. All that's changed is anime & Ren & Stimpy inspired stuff are now seen as problematic
it's the taste most animation fans develop online, from simply being exposed to everything there is. "yeah golden age american stuff and stuff inspired by it is good, a bunch of anime is good"
like if you want more serious but still stylized stuff you got anime, if you want expressive comedy stuff you have looney tunes, ren & stimpy etc

of course it's not a zero sum game there's cartoony comedy anime and more serious stylized western cartoons like what Genndy's doing

Animation YTers operate exactly like corporate news media, they take a controversy & reduce it to only its most superficial aspects in a way that doesn't offend, or inform

I'm sure this guy's seen the Sergio / Güero Balazos meme, but that's too incendiary for him to even mention Image
This got 50k fucking likes even though the meme's been around for years but yeah I'm sure it doesn't even warrant a cursory mention in a video about the Oye Primos backlash

My guess is he didn't want to show it because then he'd have to explain why it's wrong/bad & then he'd be opening himself up to criticism from people who think the meme is funny, a lot of whom are hispanic

These guys only go after the safest targets, like unsold John K pilots

"Fixed" is an important movie because it's a mainstream adult animated comedy created by an actual cartoonist / animator

That's different than being written by millennial stoner comedians & then handed off to animators like Sausage Party, or the Lonely Island Chip n' Dale movie
I hope it's good but importantly I hope it does well, because that might result in more actual animated movies for adults getting made in America
We're still suffering from not being in the timeline where Ralph Bakshi and John K made Bobby's Girl in the late 80s, or where Bill Kopp got to make that sexy jungle girl adventure-comedy in the 90s

When you read about Stan Lee & "The Marvel Method" it's not unlike the Golden Age of Cartoons: a "Story Man" comes up with the premise, the artists work it out visually, then dialogue is added last

Ironic how Stan brought this to comics just before it was phased out of animation
You can have a writer who is sympathetic to cartoonists or even an artist themselves, but you see how the creative process becomes totally different when artists are given a script to illustrate v. coming up with the story beats themselves based on what they would like to draw
A big reason Marvel Comics were a phenomenon was that the art was so much more dynamic than DC, who were still using the script-illustration method. Jack Kirby & Steve Ditko may not have had a good ear for dialogue but their visual storytelling was as strong as any film director

Disney orthodoxy has taught Americans for almost a century that "good animation" = "smoothness"

The one thing I wish people would learn from anime is that expressiveness isn't about # of drawings its making every drawing count
When you look at Bakshi's Mighty Mouse you can tell it was revolutionary because besides letting actual cartoonists write it, they were finally getting to make each drawing count despite the limited animation of TV & it actually looked alive unlike every other cartoon at the time
Disney Orthodoxy about the importance of "Smoothness" is the reason every post-digital 2D cartoon is tweened out the wazoo & every character moves like a marionette now

Hazbin Hotel (1934, Dave Fleischer)
*actually "Red Hot Mama"

This cartoon was banned from TV probably not so much for taking place in Hell (Hell still showed up in classic cartoon reruns even during the censorious years) but because she actually sings the word
The nightgown is one of her more risque outfits too
