Growing Around Opposite Day

[Piga Dgrifm]

Enter has posted a new episode of Growing Around. This one being your standard fish out of water type plot. Complete with Sally being an asshole.

Hey look,
Enter is referencing a title from somewhere else

What a creative mind.

 

[Swiggity Swooty]

Enter's scripts play out more like an anime than a cartoon. The characters are always standing around talking and there's hardly and movement going on.

 

[Le Bateleur]

The episode starts with the horrible sound of an alarm clock. It should be annoying, but not realistic enough to annoy the audience.

It's like the personification of socially awkward wrote this. It shouldn't be typed, it should be spelled out in spaghetti letters.

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

"It's realistic, but not realistic enough to be realistic."

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

I'm not going to read all that. Summary?

 

[MrsFrizzle]

That is just unbelievably terrible. And it highlights all the appalling features of the regular GAverse even more, like brothers and sisters sleeping together in the master bedroom, schools not teaching anybody skills, nobody being able to do actual work...

 

[chimpburgers]

This writing is really wordy and unnatural. It gave me douche chills trying to get through it.

 

[Reverend_Lovejoy]

Arguably one of the most cliched plots in cartoons. Aside from the schoolkid crush plot of course.

schools not teaching anybody skills

I think that is how Enter sees real life schools, and he may think he's doing an "oh so great satire"

"So, this is the first time that I'm going straight on fantastical-not abandoning all realism, but having a speculative element." - Enter.

What in the hell dose that even fucking mean?

I think he means that he's making his cartoon seem more like a cartoon instead of a sitcom. His phrasing is awkward so I can't really tell what he means.

He loves to make himself sound smarter than he really is for some reason. I don't know either.

 

[StateOfMind]

That was horrible...

Jesus christ.

 

[Jumpin Jenkins]

So pretty much, Enter took the plot of The Smurfs, one of the most terrible films of all time. Cartoon characters get stuck in the real world, have to get out, yada yada yada, captain planet raping a crab...

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

It feels like I've heard that premise somewhere else before, too...

Spoiler

@Jumpin Jenkins: The first time I saw the "cartoon character stuck in the real world" plot was an episode of I Am Weasel.

Even though it never got beyond Cow feeding Weasel pies, it still had more depth than this.

Paper has more depth than this crap

Linda calling Robert "Robbie" makes me think of Linda Belcher calling Bob "Bobby".
