My roommate's 10-year-old brother doesn't know what ninja turtles are

[just1more]

My brother apparently never read Where the Wild Things Are, so whenever he sees the commercial for the movie, and sees me getting excited over it, he always likes to make fun of me for it (damn 14 year olds). Now, granted, I don't really remember exactly what happened in the book because I was so young when I read it, but the characters definitely look familiar to me. But my brother never even read the book. Poor child.

However, everyone at every age has stuff that they had as a kid that seems awesome and great to them, but for anyone who is younger, they will never get to experience it because they weren't around when it was popular. Look at the awesomeness of old Nickelodeon shows like Salute Your Shorts or Legends of the Hidden Temple, for example. None of today's kids will ever watch these amazing shows because they've been cancelled for well over a decade. Instead, they will watch whatever is on TV nowadays.

The same thing happens with every generation.

My dad told me he has no idea what Where the Wild Things Are is.

Older generations don't understand either. Just like I don't understand how anyone could enjoy today's cartoons like Flapjack. But kids do, somehow.

It's a generational divide.

Also, I enjoy Flapjack, while my 8 year old cousin does not.

I didn't think you could do it, but you just caused me to lose even more respect for you.

Also, I forgot Where the Wild Things Are was published in the 60's. Maybe his parents didn't love him.

Am I not entitled to my own opinion? You and I have very different tastes in things, but I don't respect you any less because of it. I don't believe I've done anything to earn a disrespect from you

whatevah it's fine i don't care

Flapjack is the absolute wrong example to pick. It's the only good cartoon to come out of the last five years, and it's really good.

If he said something like Total Drama Action or Ben 10, I would have agreed thoroughly

those Nick shows aren't even amazing, you just thought they were when you were young

I watched Legends of the Hidden Temple last week. It was still amazing.

[Hiro]

Having recently watched Legends of the Hidden Temple I can tell you that it wasn't horrible but much more hilarious. Kaz is right, although there are a few shows that held up well, like Rocko's Modern Life and Dexter's Lab

okay i admit that particular show still has some merit but Salute Your Shorts does not

also i hope i'm not the only one who still remembers the entire Wild n' Crazy Kids theme

[Hiro]

The what theme? I didn't watch too much of Salute your Shorts anyways though

Are you guys really going to tell me that fucking FLAPJACK is better than Salute Your Shorts? Oh, how far America has fallen...
