So 90% of Family Guy huh?

Yeah, and also 90% of Freakazoid and Animaniacs.

>Show makes pop culture reference
>There isn't a setup or punchline
>It's just a pop culture reference
>But it's treated like a joke

I hate when it's about actors specifically.

is it even humanly possible to watch all the shit FG has referenced

You think that’s bad try *obscure band that hasn’t made a song since 1997*

And 100% of Robot Chicken.

>Freakazoid
If you'd said Tiny Toons I would have agreed, but while Freakazoid did make pop culture references they were much more spread apart and often stood on their own merits. Both Tiny Toons and Animaniacs relied much more on pop culture than Pinky and the Brain or Freakazoid.

>It’s a reference about American people that only some Americans would get.
>Reference remains unchanged in a dub from other country

I can’t imagine your pain and suffering

>Show makes a pop culture reference.
>Said reference stopped being relevant by the time they do.

You can't really blame the translators and dubbers, how do you fucking adapt something like that? youtube.com/watch?v=DZsMMoYryTI

>show makes pop culture reference
>don't know the thing they're referencing
>the joke is funny anyways for unrelated reasons

That Dragon's Lair/Space Ace joke in Samurai Jack flew over my head for years.

>Think a show is being genuinely clever/well-written
>it turns out they were just making a reference you didn't get

So much stuff I know about from films, tv shows etc in the US but only through references to them in cartoons. Dragnet, for example. That stinger that goes "DA DA DAN DAN'

>show makes a reference to donkey porn or some shit

The neighbors from hell thing in a commercial.

>Mother: “Do you get that reference?”

What the fuck are you supposed to say when asked that? If no then you have to listen to them explain it to you. If yes then you have to explain how you could possibly know.

It’s a no win situation.

Other show leads to:
>”What’s a furry?”
Fuck

>Show builds its "comedy" around references
>Expects an emmy

While I do agree with a lot of this thread, there are ways to do it right. Just as an an example, Archer has some great references to really obscure shit. Some of which was decades old already, but it didn't matter because it's still funny.

>Johnny Bench called.

>show has a Richard Simmons robot
>your country changes it to "Lorenzo Lamas", for reasons

you have been in mexico clearly

POORLY CODED N64 EMULATOR

>People confuse memes and pop culture

>We can’t have pop culture references without people accusing them of meme pandering

Not Sup Forums, but this was basically my Gintama experience. Still funny as shit.

>reference to something only people of that country would unerstand
>don't know what they are referencing
>still find funny the way it was worked into being inserted.

These fucking things

>show makes pop culture reference
>They clearly know the thing they're referencing
>Still isn't funny in the fucking slightest

>reference an in-joke in the crew
>it isn't funny to anyone else and it just comes off obnoxious and cheeky

>It's a "We literally stole an entire joke and added nothing to it but claim it as a "parody" anyway" joke
People defend pre-cancellation Family Guy a lot but they pulled this shit frequently.

This should be the metric for that kind of thing desu.

If people down here were as autistic as to replace rice balls with sandwiches, what would they have changed this to?

>scene has no references or reasons to include one
>dub turns it into a pop culture reference

>literally anything with James in second and third gen. Latam Spanish Pokémon

>show references Star Wars
>literally everyone references fucking Star Wars
>feel nothing but pain

This thread is as honest as a Nozze at Anjelica Huston's.

...

I've wanted to make a Pop Up Video-like annotations for old 30s, 40s, and 50s cartoons explaining old references and pop culture.

it'll pass

>show references anime
