Don't get me started on potty humor. Especially with certain show *cough* Fanboy and Chum Chum *cough*. I'm actually ok with it in small doses when it's backed up by good writing. But it becomes a problem when there's a crappy plot with 50 toilet jokes in 11 minutes. Most cartoons out now insult kid's intelligence. Plus the plots themselves are dumb. I think FB&CC was the result of someone watching JN and old superhero cartoons after smoking way too much weed. What happened to shows like Hey Arnold where there was no plot? There was just characters and a setting and the writers made up a creative plot every time they wrote an episode. One of the many problems with the stuff out now is they lock themselves into a moronic plot so even the best writer couldn't make the show good. Of course it's usually the bad writers that tend to do that but still. I guess there's less motivation to write well if you're just writing for kids.
