Hercules Beetle is probably the only one I'll agree with all the way. Proportionally strongest animal on Earth by a long shot = cool. Can't they lift like 300-700x their own body weight?

Praying Mantises and Stag Beetle are okay, I guess.

Also stag beetles, kuwagata, rhinoceros beetles have jaws, that if I recall correctly are somewhere in proportion to 100 times a humans in strength.

also according to wikipedia the average carrying weight is around 850 times.

Also if anyone remembers bug fights here's an epic wrestling battle between two stag beetles.

-Who thinks 'A Pup Named Scooby Doo' blows the original Scooby Doo out the water?

Nope.

-That thinks Helena Bonham Carter actually looked hotter as an ape in Planet of the Apes?

No way.

-Who thought it was Toby Maguire playing Kevin in Sin City in the beginning and not Elijah Wood?

Not me.

-That thinks Smurfs ice cream is one of the best flavors ever created?

Never tried it.

-Who thinks 'Jonny Quest Versus The Cyber Insects' is one of the most under-appreciated animated features ever?

Don't remember that one.

-That thinks some some simple flash games are more fun that fully fledged games?

Some of them do, some of them don't. Depends on what game you're comparing them to.

-Who thinks praying mantises, hercules and stag beetles, are the coolest insects ever?

They do look cool, yes.

-That thinks longterm outdooring in the wilderness would be fun if only there was an adequate toilet substitute?

It'll be a good alternative for city life, that's for sure.

-That thinks Smurfs ice cream is one of the best flavors ever created?

For awhile I did... but you try new things, meet new people etc etc :rofl:

-Who thinks 'Jonny Quest Versus The Cyber Insects' is one of the most under-appreciated animated features ever?

Yes, it was awesome even though I only watched it once

-That thinks some some simple flash games are more fun that fully fledged games?

I played a lot of awesome flash games in my time (not the shitty hentai/ dress flash games either lol) but yeah plenty of awesome Sonic, Mario, Megaman, the list goes on if your not just on newgrounds :rofl:

-Who thinks praying mantises, hercules and stag beetles, are the coolest insects ever?

I'm not much of a bug person but a Pray Mantis got on my hand before, it was pretty cool

-That thinks longterm outdooring in the wilderness would be fun if only there was an adequate toilet substitute?

Sure, but only if toilet paper and hand sanitizer is included otherwise the toliet will only be half as useful imo...

I hated the regular Scooby Doo show, and was very annoyed by all the one-dimensional character's hijinks. A pup named Scooby Doo was amusing to me because it was parodying the old show's stupidity.

hmmm... no. even I had a toilet substitute, I would miss my car, my 46" TV, my playstation, internet, the latino bar downstairs and Pizza&hookers-delivery-services.

Kristen Bell was my favorite part of Heroes.

Abso-fucking-lutely!
...I'll even add that sometimes, I won't watch a GOOD show/movie/play a good game because I don't find any girl in it attractive (If the show is REALLY good, I'll watch it eventually).

1. Certainly acting wise, perhaps not overall classic movie wise. I need to watch that. I hear Phillip Seymour Hoffman falls on a mattress.

There are many delicious types of regular potato chips, but this is perhaps because I live in a place where there are like 40 different potato chip makers.

Quite possibly yes.

My questions...

- But am I the only one that thinks the idea of Peppermint Patty and Marcie being gay is dumb?

- Despite agreeing that a Pup Named Scooby Doo is better, I don't actually hate the Scooby Doo franchise and used to enjoy watching even the original show.

- Liked Martha Jones as a companion on Doctor Who more then I liked Rose?

- When I first heard of Mazinger Z, thought of the Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter game for Genesis/Megadrive that I remembered was previewed in an old issue of EGM?

- A bigger fan of all the other Green Lantern characters other then Hal Jordan.

Yes...13 fucking ghost of scooby-doo was indeed the best they had. That intro use to scare the shit out of me at night time late on OG cartoon network. Felt like I let those motherfuckers out too just by looking at the screen.:rofl:

And yes the Johnny Quest movies were more adult than people actually care to mention.

And wtf is up with the johnny quest cartoons always showing minorities dying a certain way all the time remember those deaths? They always go AIIEEEEEE!! everytime they are about to die: Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and etc. They always die making that sound. It's not racist, but you know....wtf hanna barbera I'm sure we don't/won't die screaming like that.

And yes the Johnny Quest movies were more adult than people actually care to mention.

One episode of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (because the adventures he had when he was younger were all fake) where these marine scientist opened up a crevice where ancient predatory fish monsters appeared and started slaughtering everyone in the underwater compound was one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen, even as an adult that episode would still creep me out.

The original scooby doo is quite possibly the worst cartoon ever. As a kid, the shittiest thing that could happen to your television experience was being subjected to Scooby Doo reruns. It was like a nightmare.

SRK is like the only place on earth where people (especially me) seem to hate the original show. Everyone else seems to loves the original piece of crap like it's mana from heaven. Cartoon Network used to do like 12 hour reruns which is why I picked up reading books.

Those animators were so freaking lazy that even the ending when Scooby licks cotton candy off his face only his tongue was animated and his body was painted the background.

You're not the only one. I really liked the campiness of the original Scooby-Doo, plus I consider that theme song to be the best of them all.

"Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you, we need some help from you now!"

In fact, the only part of Scooby-Doo I didn't like was the movies.

I'd go so far as to say that Scooby Doo is one of the only series with tons of spinnoffs, where every single later version is superior to the old episodes.

Those animators were so freaking lazy that even the ending when Scooby licks cotton candy off his face only his tongue was animated and his body was painted the background.
