Pepsi is sweeter than Coke.
 
0/10 not enough Coke.

@ghostfacekiller39  
Coke Life tastes pretty similarly to Pepsi, if you want a Coke product that you could potentially be able to stand

@angrybrony  
Coke feels like guzzling down black stomach acid to me, 0/10 pepsi is superior

@ghostfacekiller39  
…pepsi’s for bitches coke rules!

I saw Atomic Betty as a kid but it wasn’t one of my favorites, and I have vague memories of Edgar and Ellen, but the style was off-putting to me as a kid so I’d usually just change the channel whenever it came on. Never heard of Making Fiends.
 
This thread is also severely lacking in the pinnacle of Western Animation:
 

 
Before Duck Tales, the most story we’d get in cartoons was something along the lines of Scooby Doo, and animation in general was more focused on either being an extended toy commerical or using the medium of animation as a way to push the boundaries of reality in their slapstick humor, such as Looney Toons and whatnot. Very few exceptions to this, and they often weren’t very good if they were an exception.
 
Then Duck Tales comes along and says “BITCH, ALL OF THIS SHIT IS WRONG, YOU ALL SUCK, GO HOME, 360 NO SCOPE YOU N00BZ” and proceeds to be the greatest damn thing to ever exist, barring a few obvious things such as American Spirits, Pepsi, and Limestone Pie.
 
This was the show that created almost every trope used in Western Animation today, and often times it used said tropes better than the shows that followed it - it had a great sense of adventure, a strong, likable cast of characters that had great balances of flaws and virtues, and a duck walking around in a fucking top hat.
 
As the quote on its TV Tropes page says:
 
“All modern American literature comes from Huckleberry Finn. All modern American animation comes from Duck Tales.”  
—Eric Wing (paraphrasing Chris Barat and Joe Torcivia)
 
Had it not been for Duck Tales, I highly doubt that the animation industry of the 90s and this decade would be as strong as it is - most of the most popular cartoons of this day and from the 90s made heavy uses of the elements used in this show, and the decade in between, one that kind of sucked for western animation, all things considered, had many cartoons veer away from the aspects that this show introduced and, as a result, is often said to pale in comparison to the two decades that surrounded it.
 
Duck Tales <3 This is my favorite piece of western animation of all time, in case that’s not clear yet.

@ghostfacekiller39  
Cool. So what about the other shows I mentioned? Ever saw Atomic Betty, Edgar & Ellen, Making Fiends, etc?

@ghostfacekiller39  
I remember playing Ray. It was fun.

@ColdhardSilver  
This is wrong, CHS, because I have fond-ish memories with Wayside :P
 
I was in like, 5th grade or so, and we had to do all of these writing assignments for English class where we would write a story and read it to the class. So, we did one assignment in pairs, and I was grouped with this kid I didn’t really know but he was always kind of loud and went on to be a football player in high school I was a quiet kid. So, I did all of the work.
 
I had watched that cartoon after school before, so since I was basically writing the story while he sat around and did nothing, I called the main character of my story “Todd” and based him off of the main guy from Wayside because I really liked his design.
 
Anyway, I ripped off a character from a game I played before that called Ray and added him to the story too as his landlord. Since Ray’s landlord is a very racist caricature of an asian, he said “Why you no pay rent?” when asking Ray about…well, why he hasn’t payed his rent.
 
So I had Todd from Wayside living in an apartment ran by a Mr. Yunioshi expy, and since I basically stole the “Why you no pay rent?” scene from Ray and added it into my story, me and the guy who didn’t help write the story at all got in trouble for how racist the depiction was and we didn’t get to go to recess or P.E. for 2 weeks :V The guy who I worked with did not like me very much after that.
 
Dunno why I felt the need to share my 5th grade year here, but this cartoon is very memorable to me because of this story xP

John F. Kennedy, Cleopatra, Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, and a bunch others were recently cloned and are now high schoolers. So think of that concept, but actually good and you have Clone High.

@Virgil Stormblade  
SOLD.

@SquiggyBomb  
Ghandi’s in it.

Hey what can you guys tell me about Clone High?

@ColdhardSilver  
I remember Wayside

@Background Pony #9B01  
Hmmm… Ah I know one! Wayside.  
Based on the books of the same name:  
the show was you basic “ordinary kid placed in extraordinary school”, but I do remember it being exceptionally funny largely due to the entire cast (minus the main one, Todd) being very eccentric and working that eccentricity of Todd and the others. I also remember it for this one character name Mauercia who was very much in love with Todd, but given her personal eccentric nature as an extremist her expressions of passion usual involved action like punching Todd or her doing crazy stunts for him.  

@ColdhardSilver  
Any others you remember that no one else does?

@Background Pony #9B01  
Yup, but hey I remember it fondly at least. Here’s to you Space Cowgirl.  

@ColdhardSilver  
Kinda like the show of which this entire site’s dedicated to, minus the “forgotten” part.
 
Funny how things turn out, am I right?

@Background Pony #9B01  
Oh I was just joking about that part; I don’t feel shame in what I like mostly.  
I was just poking fun at the show’s rep as a girly show like Kim Possible and the fact that it is a long forgotten toon like the Buzz on Maggie.

@ColdhardSilver  
So why are “not proud” about seeing it?

@Background Pony #9B01  
Most people don’t even remember it. I only remember the show because I often watched at the crack of dawn while nothing else was one, but young Silver sure wasn’t going to back to sleep.

@ColdhardSilver  
I’m guessing Atomic Betty was poorly received.
