Ok i will also guess athf

I would like to change my guess to Doug's 1st Movie for reasons.

24. Doug's 1st Movie

Genny: 8
Inviso: 13

Charon: 16
Snake: 21
Karo: 23
Johnbobb: 24
JONA: 24
Red: 28
Scarlet: 29

Total Score: 200

Genny: I forget how Doug came to be in the hands of Disney, but it's really cute that they called this on the 1st Movie like the show was popular enough at this point that more would be made. Ha ha ha... In fact I'm kind of questioning why I've placed it this high. Oh well, too late to go back on it now. Is it weird that I don't recall Doug and Patti having an on-and-off relationship at all? I don't really get why Doug is so down on himself this whole movie when he always tries to do the right thing. Guy is the absolute worst kind of character and I'm tempted to root for Doug, who I don't even like, just to see that Guy fail...

Inviso: This movie has some definite stupidity in it (like the unnecessary robot that attacks Roger throughout the films run time, or the general conceit of there existing a living, breathing swamp monster), yet its so completely inoffensive that I dont outright hate it. Its somehow both a boring story of unrequited love from an awkward guy who keeps fucking up with the girl he likesand a weird story of pollution creating a swamp monster in town. Yeah, is not the Doug I grew up watching. Its trying too hard to warrant movie status. But STILL, its not as terrible as it couldve been, and its at least SLIGHTLY original. I dunno, this ranking is tough because so many of these movies are goddamn mediocre at best.

Stifled: Mr. Bluff is an evil man. Patti Mayonnaise is a blithering idiot. Guy is probably going to get accused of rape when he gets to high school, maybe even sooner. Herman is cute and they should have kept him.
*shrug* Thats about it, really. While I enjoyed the movie, its pretty much just an extended version of the Nemotoad bagging from the original Nickelodeon show. Im a tad disappointed they couldnt come up with a better story for a movie. Add in obligatory environment saving plotlines and make the whole town dumb and mistrusting of Doug for like the billionth time and you have a fun, yet uninspired romp through Bluffington.
Oh and the new voice for Doug/Roger/possibly others is terrible. Either secure Billy West or get the fuck out, honestly.

Traviss Opinion: Travis enjoyed it. He cuddled with me on the couch and watched it. We actually binge watched the whole Nickelodeon show together when he was younger, so it was nice to continue with this.

Charon: I had forgotten Disney owned Doug until I saw their logo above the movie's title. This isn't an idea that hasn't been done before of course, but it's done in a way that's enjoyable still. Guy is such a dick and serves as a good foil for Doug; he works as a villain you enjoy hating. The message about Doug needing to put himself after others is sort of inspiring and a nice little golden message tacked on to this. Still waiting on the next movie.

Snake: Thankfully also Dougs Only Movie. What the hell even was this movie? I thought Doug was a fairly realistic show and this movie decides to throw in a monster of the week like its an episode of The X-Files. The plot is completely non-sensical; this did not deserve a theatrical release whatsoever.
---

Karo: The adaptation of a Disney show that was an adaptation of a Nickelodeon show, both of which were rather dull and boring. The movie starts out with the usual real-life school kid drama Doug gets involved in, he likes this girl but can't actually open his fucking mouth and tell her so he engineers a complicated scheme to get the two of them to spend time together working on a school project. This cringey angle of course backfires and accidentally sets her up with another boy.
We then randomly introduce a plot angle about a swamp monster in a lake that the boys adopt and have to protect from adults who want to capture him, a tiresome pollution/environmental theme, and repetitive vague pontification about 'doing whats right' without any real elaboration.
Just in case the movie had not yet fallen completely off the cliff of believability by this point, Roger builds a killer nanny robot, the boys dress the monster up as a foreign exchange student so he can go to school, and the villain reforms because his spoiled brat daughter whines at him a whole lot.
Its honestly a complete mess of a film that doesnt succeed at any of the far too many things it attempts to do, and thankfully Doug's first movie was also his last.

Johnbobb: This one was disappointing. I havent seen Doug in a long time, but I remembered it being a funny enough show. I actually looked forward to watching this, but it really doesnt hold up at all. The animation is bland, the jokes are pretty flat, and more than anything else, theres just absolutely no reason for this to be a movie. It never attempts to be anything special or cinematic, its just a long episode. Hell, its not even like season finale material.

JONA: Just a long episode of the show. Too bad the show was never good.

Red: First off, my enjoyment of this movie was immediately destroyed by Doug's new voice. I never watched the series after the Disney move and it destroyed my childhood everytime he had to open his mouth. Beyond that, Doug is basically just forced to be a jerk the entire movie because circumstances involving a monster giving us one big terrible misunderstanding movie. Over and over because not much else happens til the end.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of movies that glorify a lack of any effort involved in the making of the film on every single level without exception is worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you find yourself considering the title of the movie. So lazy was the development of this trivial, uninspired quagmire of bland generality that no one even put in the effort to spell out the word First. The two dueling plots never justify the existence of each other or themselves, and the jumbled mess of unfunny flan-flavored humor is completely infuriatingly uninteresting. There is an entire list of movies we watched that are exactly this bad, and Karo, really, you should feel awful that you wasted months of the Gauntlet Crews time on this crap. Humans have a finite mortality, and this is the bullshit you put in front of us. Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with you? When I die, I will have used an hour and a half of my life that I could have used to better myself or those around me to instead witness something so utterly valueless that it makes a single Zimbabwean dollar look like the financial entirety of Lex Luthors net worth. You sicken me. Truly.

Hint for #23: next movie will feature not only the first person to lose a member of their top 5, but the second person as well!
---

Two people ranked the next one in their top 5!? That can only be Chipmunks (red and Karo), Beavis and Butt-head (char and ?), or Aqua Teens (? and ?), methinks. Let's go with the Occam's Razor

Guess for #23: The Chipmunks Adventure

Inviso: I dunno, this ranking is tough because so many of these movies are goddamn mediocre at best.

Yeah I can agree with this. Honestly all the movies in my 7 to 16 range are all interchangeable because every one of them are decent to good but also kind of bland and unmemorable, yet objectively superior to the movies beneath them so their rank is arbitrary based on how high I was on the characters at the time. I don't know why I was high on Doug and down on [list spoilers] the day I did the rankings, but ultimately it doesn't matter because I could redo my ranking tomorrow and come up with an entirely different order for this 10-movie range.
---

yeah I'll say Chipmunks too

23. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters

Snake: 4
Scarlet: 5
Johnbobb: 11
JONA: 17
Charon: 21
Genny: 23
Inviso: 24
Stifled: 26
Karo: 30
Red: 30

Total Score: 191

Snake: Was expecting this to be typical Adult Swim gross/sex humor but its actually hilarious and creative surrealism! Im sad I never gave the show a fair shot. I love the dysfunction of the main team and the way it takes down todays modern world of greed and irresponsibility. Its practically on the level of South Park in that regard.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a movie with very abstract humor would fit in with a heaping helping of staid, uninteresting films with pedestrian plotlines and characters. Especially when you find yourself basking in the bizarre glory of what seems to be functionally a happy meal that solves crimes. While it was certainly a welcome reprieve from the regimented blandness of the list thus far, it was very much a Cartoon Network Adult Swim-style experiment, with a little too much experimentation and too little glue to hold the film together.
Rating: 45/100

Johnbobb: Possibly even moreso than most other TV movies, its hard to think of this one even as a film. Its basically six consecutive episodes, with very little overarching plot connecting them. Sure, thats the Aqua Teen style, and by that standard, it achieves its goal, but at the same time that doesnt necessarily make it a good movie. Mastodons opening concession song is great, and the main characters are about as funny as they are in the show, but it suffers by basically throwing loose ideas at the wall with such a rapid-fire pace.

JONA: The show has always been goofy, dumb shit and this is no exception. It was nice to see a bunch of the side characters from the show, which I like more than the main cast. The movie kinda overstays its welcome with how much dumb shit it can get away with, but that's what happens when you go from a 10 minute episode to a full movie.

Charon: So difficult to follow. There are definitely funny things in this movie but it's so badly stitched together than it makes it hard to really find the actual plot here. It honestly took me the good first third of the movie to really find the overarching story that was trying to be told. Thankfully, some of the bits were not too bad but it was too hard to care much about what was actually happening. An origin story should provide better background details than this to keep audiences engrossed, and it was a bit annoying for the movie to tell me that if I didn't find it funny I should leave the theater or whatever. Movies that have to apologize for not being that good really don't endear themselves to me all that much.

Genny: I loved this show when I was a pre/young teen. Looking back on it this was definitely a series for stoners to enjoy and not much of anybody else. I remember seeing this in theaters with my best friend from high school and we both agreed that the opening sequence with the damn movie snacks was the best part. My opinion remains unchanged. This movie offers a few cheap laughs, particularly if you're familiar with the characters, but meanders through it's own "plot" by intentionally not answering any of the questions it raises. It's more frustrating than funny.
---

Inviso: So I enjoyed the show of this, probably because each episode was only like fifteen minutes long, and if there was anything that really disturbed me, I could stop watching after that one episode ended. But this was nearly 90 minutes of movie based on a show that, by its very premise, is kinda disturbing. There were some funny moments, and admittedly the movie kicks off strong with the lets all go to the lobby parody song, but its just too long for a premise thats better suited to short segments. Also, everything gets REALLY fucking confusing plotwise, to the point where I cant even be sure what was real and what wasntwhich is kinda the point, but still.

Stifled: I really dont understand what happened here. The show was typically really funny and had fun, memorable characters. So what does this movie do? It does exactly that same thing for like 20 minutes and then frantically dives off a cliff. Im getting the distinct feeling the writing staff of the show went on strike or something and some amateurs took over that had no feel for the characters. Everything after the hilarious Metal Food/Egypt/Abraham Lincoln sequences showed no understanding of the source material whatsoever. The jokes suddenly dont land anymore. The normally stellar characters like the Mooninites are completely unfunny now. And for laughs, lets take something fans have always wanted and make it a convoluted slap to the face! Dr. Weird is FINALLY connected to Frylock, but the scene is turned into a complete mess by bad twist after bad twist. Dr. Weird created Frylock? Nope! Frylock created Dr. Weird! But wait! A watermelon created all of them! And their mother is a burrito! And Frylock gets a sex change! What in the actual fuck? If not for the fact the first 20 minutes were classic ATHF quality, this would be a shoe-in for bottom of the list.

Traviss Opinion: lololololol nope nope nope Travis is not going anywhere near this one. I kinda wish I didnt!

Karo: ATHF is a series of dumb 10-minute shorts on Adult Swim where a bunch of sentient mcdonalds happy meal items live together and have extremely random misadventures. Now, someone got it into their head that characters that begin to wear out their welcome even in the short runtime of their show would be even better if they were in something that was an hour and a half long.
So everyone does an assortment of bizarre things and there is an evil sentient exercise machine and there might be some some time-traveling involved and good god what the fuck is this movie and why does it even exist.
Are you looking for such avant-garde ideas as having a plot, or maybe even just something that is more than a random assortment of words and images excreted haphazardly from the mental rectums of two burnt out stoners?
Are you looking for something with a higher production quality than a newgrounds flash animation, with special effects that look like they were created by someone other than a 10-year-old screwing around in photoshop?
Are you looking for voice acting that doesnt sound like amateur improv done by someone at a two-bit nightclub shortly before getting hit in the face with various produce and pieces of furniture?
Are you looking for any level of care in making a movie that is higher than a group of monkeys flinging their shit at a blank canvas and hoping some of it sticks?
Are you looking for something made for someone with a greater attention span and intellectual maturity of a two-year-old, and not a festering nightmare of gibbering idiocy spawned from the darkest thoughts of elder horrors from outside the planar space?
If you said yes to any of those things, congratulations, you actually have an IQ of higher than 40 and are not the target audience of this movie.
---

Red: How is this even a movie, it has literally no plot. Someone just puked this thing out tossed it in theatres and called it a day. I honestly dont understand, nothing happens, the characters are all complete idiots. It attempts to have some strange plot about a killer exercise machine, starts to act like its going to follow through on it, starts to give some sort of dumb origin story, and then decides no it doesn't need to have any of this, everyone is everyones father for no reason, one of the characters is supposed to be a woman becuase somehow that is funny and then the movie just ends because they ran out of time to come up with more dumb crap that wasn't gonig to be funny.

I found it hilarious that nearly all the fans of the Aqua Teen show were kinda down on the movie for being overlong. It's just the kind of thing that only works in 11 minutes. Or maybe even a 22 minute special. A theatrical release? That's a yikes from me.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of bizarre and obscure television shows that the vast majority of America likely dismissed as the drivel that it was, leaving no impact on society whatsoever, was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you puzzle your way through the story of Star Trek: Voyagers Chakotay in his early days. This unique science fiction rendition of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was riddled with an unclear narrative that may or may not have included flashbacks but certainly did enjoy its fight sequences - probably to the detriment of the rest of the film.
Rating: 30/100

JONA: I honestly dug the mix of Wild West and sci-fi here. You could've fooled me if you said that this was an original movie because this movie stands on its own pretty well, with no knowledge of the show. Bravestarr's actually kinda likable even if he's a bit on the generic side. I don't know; I just kinda dug the movie.

Snake: Interesting mix of western and sci-fi but the movie is merely servicable. I didnt care for the animation too much either. Not a lot to say about this one.

Johnbobb: One of the common issues with some TV movies is the pacing; a normal kids show has a full plot wrap up in 22ish minutes, while the movie has to stretch it out for around 3-4 times that. This is the main issue I ran into with Bravestarr. In the time that it felt like this conflict couldve been conquered, it had barely even started. Once Bravestarr was really introduced though, I honestly started to get a kick out of it. Its pretty dumb, and doesnt exactly hold up well over time, but by the end youre left with a goofy sci-fi western comedy with a super-powered douchey hero thats worth a laugh if nothing else.

Karo: BraveStarr is about a young Native American intergalactic cowboy with mystic superpowers who is the last descendant of a race of technologically advanced Space Indians. He is sent on a mission to the planet of New Texas, where all the buildings look like space age versions of the American old west, and everyone wears cowboy hats with their spacesuits and rides metallic hover-bulls. The reason behind the mission is that an ancient evil bovine spirit has brought back a notorious cowboy outlaw as a zombie and granted him the ability to cast wizard spells (pretty sure there are rules for that somewhere in the D&D handbook).
Bravestarr soon gains the aid of several other heroes, such as a talking anthropomorphic cyborg horse who can transform into his steed, a female supermodel judge with a magic gavel, and a weird furry thing that seems to be the result of Jar Jar Binks having sex with a gopher.
Once the initial hilarity of the insane concept wears off, the realization sets in that the movie is actually fairly dull and boring. The 'cute' antics of the native prairie dog people are so absolutely irritating they make Snarf and Scrappy Doo actually look like good characters by comparison.
There is a reason why when iconic 80's kids franchises are enumerated, BraveStarr is rarely counted among them.

Red: The fact that this movie takes place on a planet called New Texas immediately tells you how weird and strange it is. Some random dude destined to defeat some evil being who has assembled a whole bunch of evil beings using his various animal powers which will magically save the day. And its all western themed for some reason because going into space turns people feral or something idk. New Texas is only topped by Purries on the cringe scale, tbh.
---

Inviso: This was some convoluted bullshit. I mean, first of all, if youre going to make a space cowboy story, dont just take a stereotypical western town and put it on a planet somewhere. Firefly worked because it felt like the universe fit a western theme. This did not. This was some random guy gaining magical superpowers, his love interest become FemThor, and a transforming anthropomorphic horse robot with a shotgun joins the fray. The animation was awful as well, if Im being honest, with delayed and wooden facial expressions abound. And yet, this is STILL not the worst movie Ive watched, because at least the simplistic marshall vs. outlaws plot was easy enough to follow amidst all the bullshit. Seriously, why does this movie exist, and what the fuck is this show that its based on, that Ive never even heard of before?

Stifled: Haha what in the world is this movie? Planet New Texas? Space Indians? Indian cowboy sheriff superhero? Cow spaceships? Not to mention the villain dressed like a leprechaun! This movie is nuts. And Id have put it much higher on the list if not for a gigantic flaw: the action scenes have this weird fast forward thing. Likemaybe I was watching a bad copy of it, but the action scenes all seemed super sped up like someone was pushing the fast forward button on the remote. The fights could have been cool if not for that. While Ive never heard of BraveStarr, show or movie, this could have been just wacky enough to work if they made a better quality animation. As it is, BraveStarr is just good enough to be above crap, but not good enough to compete with quality.

Traviss Opinion: Travis jumped up on the couch and said Daddy, lets watch cartoons! He took one look at this and changed his mind. He ran straight for his cars!

Charon: What the hell even is this? A space cowboy goes out to the planet of New Texas, the PLANET, and... goes on an acid trip? This movie was just so bizarre. Apparently this series and movie were bad enough to kill the animation company that was behind it, and I can see why. It seemed to want to do way too much, and while it had some things going for it like a good concept and some cool background elements, it failed completely in trying to tie them together in a finished project.

Genny: This one was simultaneously painful and oddly enjoyable due entirely to the fact that it plucked my nostalgic heartstrings despite having never seen the show BraveStarr: The Movie was based on. How can this be? Well it all goes back to this one movie I enjoyed immensely as a kid called Happily Ever After. The nutshell version of this story is that this movie was produced by the same studio, so the animation and music were familiar and this somewhat enjoyable to me. I especially liked the very expressive eyebrow movements. The positives end there however.
Marshall Bravestarr's powers could have been cool, along with Thirty-Thirty's brute strength and marksmanship, but neither's potential is ever fully realized or even explored as this epic battle that Tex Hex was building up to the entire movie by gathering all the outlaws is resolved with the most anticlimactic deus ex machina imaginable. The dialogue in this film is somehow as sexist as it is progressive and I'm not sure how to feel about that. The plot is a bit confusing having not grown up with this series, but it's still alright despite that ending. However "alright" doesn't get you far on my list.

Stifled: I feel kind of terrible for doing this to poor George. This movie quite literally sat at the #1 spot the entire time me and Travis watched this list until the wonderful experience we had watching the one to beat it. But that does not take anything away from this masterpiece of licensed animation. The animation is beautiful. The Orbiting Ore Asteroid is perhaps the finest world ever crafted by Jetsons creators. And while Im not usually a fan of recasting voices, Tiffany was absolutely perfect as Judy Jetson. Not to mention the soundtrack was the best of this list by a mile. Goofy and South Park had some killer tunes, but nothing tickles my fancy quite like 80s style music getting a last hurrah in a movie from 1990. All three of Tiffanys songs are wonderful, and the rest of the tunes are pretty great too. I could easily watch this movie at least once a week and be happy.

Traviss Opinion: I've watched this like 4 or 5 times with Travis but he still doesn't care that much. Maybe some day? He was digging the music though, at least. I caught him shaking his butt around a few times. He particularly liked the cheesy Jetsons rap song in the credits. Dat beat though!

Charon: Surprisingly good for the medium, The Jetsons benefit from having this movie made in the 90's rather than when the other, older cartoons had their films created. This film is a disguised environmental film that you don't see coming until the very end. There are a few unnecessary bits here and there, but thankfully by this time period movie making was beginning to get a little more streamlined and less out in left field. The voices took a minute to get used to, which was the only real drawback from having a film from an older cartoon made this far into the future. I do appreciate their casting of Judy however. After so many foul attempts at song on this list, it was nice to notice Hanna-Barbera actually just cast an actual musician into this role that would be highly musical. A+ idea.

Genny: When I started this movie I was 90% convinced it would be a brand new experience for me; however, as I got deeper into it little things began to tug at my brain stem. It wasn't until that ridiculous sprocket rap that it hit me: I'd seen this all before, and had fond(ish) memories of it! Of all the things for a kid to recall right? I mean sure, suppress the implications that pollution and overpopulation will run rampant in the near future, that Judy was horny 24/7 and had bad notions of what made a decent boyfriend, and that George wasn't the greatest father to his boy Elroy, but remember the worst song! Anyway these are the three characters that the movie spends the most focus on, which is a shame because Rosie and Astro were my favorite characters as a kid.
Judy didn't even end up doing much aside from whining and almost agreeing to date rape. It kind of feels like this movie was conceived less as a proper send off to a beloved Hannah-Barbara series and more as an opportunity to put Tiffany back into relevancy with these songs, but maybe I'm crazy. Oh and Judy also instantly falls in love (again) with some guy she just met (again), completely invalidating the earlier conflict. Yeah... not an abundance of great characters in this one, but it still manages to be a fun movie with a coherent plot up until the ending. I still don't quite get how employing the Grungees whose asteroid home was being mined is going to save their home when... the drilling itself was the main issue. Sure the recycling of sprockets might delay the inevitable, but that asteroid still has finite resources.
---

Inviso: I dont really have anything all that positive to say about this one. Its pretty standard and honestly feels like an elongated episode of the show. The main thing it has going for it is that the plot is relatively straight-forward, even if its pretty much a rip-off of the Hank Scorpio episode of the Simpsons. Granted, Im not sure if that timeline works out, but Simpsons is present day and Jetsons are in the future, so whatever. But yeah, its inoffensive aside from Elroys voice acting. The story is just standard for all the characters and after a plethora of films that felt SO cynically aimed at marketing toys to kids, I just preferred the simplicity of the story. Its still not great, and after twelve films in a row, thatsdepressing. But whatever.

Karo: The Jetsons are an ordinary family that lives in a ridiculous vision of the future in the head of someone from the 1950s or something.
So in this very belated movie adaptation, George's boss Spacely sends him out to run some asteroid mining facility because he is the only one dumb enough to take the job after the four previous people in charge disappeared. There are mysterious saboteurs trying to wreck George's new factory, and of course it has something to do with environmentalism because that was 'in' at the time this was made.
After a few plot detours with Judy trying to get laid, the Ewoks who object to the drilling in their home have to kidnap George because he is too stupid to be intimidated.
The movie continues down the path of abject pointlessness until the very end, where everything works out absolutely perfectly for everyone, even for Spacely and his company, and we learn a lesson about recycling or whatever.
Though it shouldnt really be called terrible, it is just so completely unremarkable and unmemorable that it reaches a point of wondering why the hell does it even need to exist.

Red: Honestly, this is a Jetsons movie but almost all of the Jetsons are pretty worthless. George is incompitent and doesn't do anything, Jane can't keep track of her kids and needs her daugher to track down her own son, Judy has generic teenage problems and serves no real plot purpose other than tracking down Elroy later on in the movie. Honestly, the only character that makes much of any progression is Elroy and his robot friend. They also solve the mystery because, reasons, I guess. Very generic, "corporation destroys home of creatures" plot, though it does end in essentially enslaving the native population.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of overwrought creatively bankrupt films that failed to understand even a modicum of the original source material was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you find yourself the prisoner of white mans rap music in a failed plea to modernize a franchise without keeping a single Spacely sprocket of what ticked on the first go-round. Nothing here was reminiscent of the Jetsons, and perhaps thats why Harvey Birdman did a Jetsons comeback with a snappier, wittier exploration of the excess of the 60s reflected in a far future better than this movie could ever hope to achieve.
Rating: 12/100

JONA: The only saving grace is that the music's not bad, despite being really outdated. Judy's new voice actress is absolutely terrible. There's nothing inspiring at all in this movie. Also, some not-so-fun facts: George Jetson's voice actor died of a stroke recording lines for the movie. Mel Blanc, the voice of Mr. Spacely, died 5 months later. This movie is cursed.

Snake: I dont mind the original Jetsons cartoon but this is just a plain boring movie. Its bland, lazy, generic, and the voice acting doesnt live up to the original series at all. Animation is decent, but its not a movie I would ever seek out to watch again.

Johnbobb: I never liked The Jetsons, and I always chalked it up to simply being too much before my time, but now that Im really sitting down and watching it, I realize that its not me. The Jetsons is just lazy. Look at a show like Futurama, a comedy that takes place in the future and uses that to drive the plot and comedy of every episode and movie in a way that simply couldnt happen in a modern setting. Then look at The Jetsons. Its just a bunch of generic sitcom tropes that happen to be in the future, but thats ultimately irrelevant. Even then, its not a particularly funny sitcom. It never attempts to do any more than lazilly scratch the surface of any real ideas. To make it worse, theres no reason for this to be a movie. Theres no more happening than what might be achieved by any random episode of the show, but with a few lame songs thrown in.

Yeah really glad I didnt do this project. Yikes

Did Vis compare that to Hank Scorpio?

I am honesty slightly disgusted by that comparison.

Pretty foul. I am beginning to question how much thought went into some of these rankings.

I have to question the sanity of people who have this in their bottom 5 over trash like Care Bears and Ponies. Did all the rainbows rot your brains?

Outlier:

Karo: 88
Stifled: 60
Red: 59
Scarlet: 56
Genny: 56
Snake: 52
Johnbobb: 45
Inviso: 38
JONA: 34
Charon: 31

Hint for #20: made by nickelodeon.

PLEASE be Rugrats 1.
---

Also, how the hell is Teachers Pet still in this?
---

Im going to switch things up and guess Spongebob.
---

I'll guess Thornberrys.
---

I am thinking this is Hey Arnold since Doug is a kinda similar show and performed poorly with this crowd.

This is in my bottom 5 but Ponies is still below it

at least Care Bears was unintentionally funny, Jetsons was just... really, really bland.
