I think all the cartoons that we watched as children were created by people on LSD. Seriously, stay with me on this one. With all these cartoons making a comeback on the big screen, let’s do some soul-searching here. <\/font>Small blue creatures that are being harassed by a wizard that wants to turn them into gold? Smurfs blow my mind.<\/p>\n

So walk with me friends, as we take a psychedelic step back into time:<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the bears:
Gummi Bears:<\/strong> bouncing here and there and everywhere.<\/em> OH just shoot me now. This was an especially weird one. We got a cartoon based on a delicious sugary snack. That go ape-shit when they drink this special gummi beary juice. And they live in the forest hiding from everyone… wearing clothes from a Renaissance Faire. This totally sounds like a guy I knew in college. Come on, who didn’t know that<\/em> guy? <\/p>\n

Care Bears.<\/strong> Now this is some truly fucked up stuff. It’s like they took every diagnosis from Psychology 101 and put them in fuzzy, cuddly bears … that shoot magic beams from their fuzzy, cuddly bellies. Tell me that isn’t weird? And if I remember correctly, the lived in some sort of cloud city? Not a cool<\/strong> cloud city like the one that Lando was on, well, before he betrayed everyone and then started wearing Han’s clothes. Nerd moment: why was he wearing Han’s clothes? That’s just stalker creepy. <\/p>\n

<\/em>Then there were the GoBots<\/strong>. Which were the poor’s man Transformers<\/strong>. Cars that could morph into robots that wanted to solve crime could be cool, but how did someone think of that? I’m not saying, but I think someone was trippin’ in their car. <\/p>\n

Granted, when it was Optimus Prime it was cool. But GoBots were just … lame. <\/p>\n

Jem<\/strong>. Let’s face it, she WAS truly outrageous. From her holographic jukebox that could turn the world into a holodeck, to her dumb-ass boyfriend who never realized that she wasn’t two different people. Yeah, I think was the brainchild of whoever invented Ecstacy. <\/p>\n

Speaking of freakiness. Who doesn’t remember Rainbow Brite<\/strong> and her crazy striped leggings? I’m still not sure what the cartoon was about, but I think that’s because she had twinkly eyes. And twinkly eyes are just spooky and slightly hypnotic. Couple that with being hopped on Sugar Smacks and chocolate milk….and that’s just a recipe for madness.<\/font><\/p>\n

I think her show came on right before My Little Pony. <\/p>\n

It all comes back to ponies. Son of a bitch, I wish I had a pony. <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
