The Final FOFC Draft: Cartoon Character Draft

[Tigercat]

With our fourth pick we select:

Casper The Friendly Ghost
2'0"
0lbs
.01 40(hes a ghost for gods sakes!)
NFL comparison: Dwight Freeny

Positives:Another guy with great notoriety over multiple generations. Was VERY popular a generation to a generation and a half ago. Still going strong. Inspired a fairly successful move(or two?) not too long ago.
Negatives:A bit undersized. Perhaps a good thing though, as its impossible to block a guy that weighs nothing, unless you have the cartoon ghostbusters on your OLine.
Summary:Would be a terror as a speed rushing DE meant to bring fear in the QB's eyes. May have to work on the "friendly" part.

For those of you keeping track, this gives us four characters with the article "The" in their full cartoon names.

[cartman]

How I lasted until the 3rd round, I'll never know. Beefcake...BEEFCAKE!!!!

[Poli]

Guys, I'll be off FOFC from Friday until likely Tuesday. I'm going to pull out, and whoever responds first can have my spot.

This is, of course, unless Easy Mac has a different idea.

AE

[PsychoCop]

Bada-Bump Bump Bump.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

AE

[k0ruptr]

I'll pick for ya *evil grin* muahahahha...

Wait I just realized. NOOOOOOOOO! no ardent leads the vols for 4 or 5 whole days, that is cruel AE.

[sterlingice]

[Easy Mac]

BJ&TL Takes Snagglepuss

WSUCOugar is on the clock

[Easy Mac]

WSUCougar selects Sylvester (the cat)

[Easy Mac]

Chubbs is up

[PsychoCop]

Can't wait to get my picks.... :) Easy Mac, i'll pick for myself... :)

[Chubby]

ok, give me a sec. didn't realize i was up

[Chubby]

Every team needs, a villian. Especially one of the most inept villians of all time! Not only did he control an army, but he got his ass kicked every week by basically 5 guys.

Cobra Commander

The bule hooded CC was way better than the helmet one IMO. He may be the worst army leader of all time, but man was he cool :)

[PsychoCop]

AE is up.

[sterlingice]

So is ardent still doing his picks or has someone else been chosen?

SI

[Poli]

I'll pick for ya *evil grin* muahahahha...

Wait I just realized. NOOOOOOOOO! no ardent leads the vols for 4 or 5 whole days, that is cruel AE.


K0rutr is picking for me. I'll be out of town Friday morning.

[Easy Mac]

k0ruptor is picking for AE.

[k0ruptr]

AE selects one of the most underrated cartoon characters of all time!
and hey, if he doesnt like it. he can pick for me.

Top Cat

Inspired by hit '50s TV comedy series The Phil Silvers Show (1955-1959) and the exploits of Ernest Bilko and his workshy motor-pool platoon, Hanna Barbera's Top Cat premiered in 1961 and ran for 30 episodes.

It remains one of the studios most enduring creations...

Top Cat - TC to his close friends - is the sharp talking leader of a merry bunch of Manhattan alley cats: Fancy Fancy, Spook, Benny, Brain and Choo Choo.

[Easy Mac]

Suicane is up

[Suicane75]

I hate to go all modern era with my team but I cannot pass up Mr. Peter Griffin.

[Easy Mac]

Shit, thats on

And that guy is up next, you know who you are.

[PsychoCop]

Sterling Ice is up.

[sterlingice]

I think it's time for me to go back old school. The future counterpart of 1st round pick Fred Flintstone: George Jetson.

SI

[kingfc22]

Was hoping George would fall a little more. Nice pick.

[PsychoCop]

After drafting a hardcore 80's toon icon, and 2 Japanese Toon Legends, I think that it's about time I drafted some money-makers.

For the final pick of the 4th round, I select Genie from Disney's Aladdin... one of the Top-5 highest grossing animated films ever ($217.3 million)....and voiced by none other than Robin Williams.

For the first pick of the 5th round, I select Simba from Disney's The Lion King... the highest grossing animated film ever ($312.8 million).

With a combined taking of over $500 mil and millions more due to merchandising, and subsequent series', these two are lucky to have fallen this late in the draft.

[sterlingice]

It's my favorite comic (tho Jim Davis should have hung it up a while ago): Garfield! Sure, the largest body of Garfield work is in comics, but he had a long lived cartoon on CBS (7 seasons I believe) as well as 7 cartoon specials like the classic Christmas and Halloween specials. Not only that but he was voiced by the man with the awesome name and the even more awesome voice, Lorenzo Music (c'mon, you can't tell me that name doesn't just roll off the tongue: Lorenzooooo Muuuuusiiiic!). Garfield got quite a few endorsements in the early-mid 90s and those are the direct result of his voice work. Lots of great reoccuring gags like the Klotzman diamond, Binky the clown, and there's even an episode with the official title of "The Creature That Lived in the Refrigerator Behind the Mayonaisse, Next to the Ketchup, and to the Left of the Coleslaw." Plus, the show was better at metahumor than, I even hesitate to say, the Simpsons.

I know who my next two are, but it looks like I have quite a bit of time to wait and likely they will leave the board :( But, even as a little of a reach, I had to have the lethargic cat on my team.



SI

[Suicane75]

This is getting hard, There are many modern guys I want to take but I need some classic characters if Im gonna win a vote so Im gonna go hybrid and draft, from Scooby Doo, Shaggy.

[Tigercat]

Bump, k0ruptor, you're up.

[k0ruptr]

oh crap sorry guys. gimme a few mins

[Easy Mac]

no

[k0ruptr]

fine then. AE selects Woody from Toy story in all its glory!

hurray for woody!!!

[Easy Mac]

hurray for woody!!!
funny, my girlfriend says that all the time.

[Easy Mac]

Chubbs is up

[k0ruptr]

lmfao

[k0ruptr]

well... um shall we move on?

[Chubby]

ok back to my pick, 1 sec

[Chubby]

He's been in various cartoons, nothing can make him waste more time than an idiot newsreporter...

Superman

[TredWel]

I grew up watching Get Smart on Nick-at-Nite reruns, so it's only natural that I gravitate to this 80's character:

Inspector Gadget

[Danny]

I grew up watching Get Smart on Nick-at-Nite reruns, so it's only natural that I gravitate to this 80's character:

Inspector Gadget

I do a really good Claw impersonation

[TredWel]

I do a really good Claw impersonation
Is that the Gadget Dr. Claw, or the now-politically-incorrect Get Smart baddie Claw ("Not 'The Craw', 'The Craw'!")?

[Danny]

Dr. Claw

[Easy Mac]

WSUCougar is up until 7 am, then whoever is next is also on the clock.

[kingfc22]

Cougar said he was going somewhere and would be back Saturday. That was over in his combat mission dynasty thread.

[WSUCougar]

Gimme that bundle of bouncy joy,

TIGGER

The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber.
Their bottoms are made out of spring.
Their bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy
Full of fun fun fun.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers is:
I'mmmmmmmmm the only one!

[Easy Mac]

BJ&TL picks princess Ariel

TigerCat is up, with oykib picking @3:30.

[Tigercat]

With our fifth pick we select:

The Shredder (from teenage mutant ninja turtles)
6'2"
220lbs
4.5 40
NFL Comparison: Ray Lewis

Positives: How has all characters from TMNT lasted this long? Its insane! I could argue, that perhaps outside of say spongebob squarpants today, TMNT enjoyed the most popular and successfull run of any cartoon since the 70s. Think about the toys, think about the three movies, think about the network battles over the cartoon rights! All of it was unprecedented. Sure it began as a comic book, but it got ALL of its popularity through the cartoon. Shredder is a key part of the cartoon. There are four turtles, so you can't really pick one of them as most important. Splinter is great, but he isn't involved enough to pick. While Shredder, is just the main badass bad guy. Oh yea, and I believe there is a new TMNT cartoon today.
Negatives: Like popeye, substance abuse could be a problem. Although Super Shredder would make one hell of a lineman.
Conclusion: Gives us a very good bad guy to add to our lineup. Hard hitting no nonsense safety perhaps?

[Easy Mac]

Oykib

[Danny]

No way does he run a 4.5, he'd be lucky to hit 5.0.

[Tigercat]

No way does he run a 4.5, he'd be lucky to hit 5.0.


Thats his 40 without his shredder pads on. Besides, the mans in better shape than some NFL guys that supposedly run 4.5s, so I think its a pretty good estimate. Now his foot soldiers, those guys would be lucky to hit 5.0. They are the slowest most unathletic cast of teamates. All the most reason to vote Shredder, hes a one man team!

[Danny]

I dont know... Anyone who gets screwed over by four fat turtles and an old stoned rat can't be that good

[Tigercat]

I dont know... Anyone who gets screwed over by four fat turtles and an old stoned rat can't be that good


You have something on the Rat, although think of Jerry Rice, hes not that muscular or fast, but Jerry Rice can still beat lots of teams.

As far as the turtles, I wouldn't call them fat, if i recall from the cartoons and toys, they had some pretty serious muscle development on 'em. And if I recall Shredder was always able to run away from them. Although Shredders toughness maybe should be brought into question, as should his wonderlic scores, if he can't outsmart a rodent and 4 turtles. If I recall he even had to team up with an extra brain in a jar to create evil plans. Bleh, maybe we won't leave him in coverage, maybe he will just be a blitzing SS.

[Danny]

My first every action figure as a kid was actually a ninja turtle when they first came out. I ended up with the whole set and watched the tv show every saturday morning. One of my favorites although its hard to pick one specific character from the show.

[oykib]

Space Ghost

> The number one Hanna-Barberra action character
> Was revived in the 90's with his own late night talk show
> Has more star power than every character with the possible exception of Scooby-Doo
> Has shown equal facility with drama and comedy
> Can kick some serious ass
> Only character in cartoon history who turns invisible that's worth a damn
> Power bands can do anything but polish your shoes

[Danny]

Mother****** :)

[k0ruptr]

lol I think you stole My pick and Eagleeye11's

BASTARD

[Easy Mac]

EagleEye is up, and if I read that right, he picked motherfucker.

[k0ruptr]

LMAO

funny I hadn't heard of that cartoon character...

[Danny]

edit, doh, Im an idiot

[Easy Mac]

k0ruptor takes Aladdin

kingfc22 is up until 10:30 am.

[Tigercat]

Am I going crazy or has Superman been picked twice in the same round? I mean I know he has superpowers, but to be picked twice? Hes the man!

[Danny]

I like Alladin, Ariel and some other recent disney movie characters, but having them selected before the classics who have proben to withstand the test of time? Im not too sure about that.

[Danny]

DOH!, Ill repick right now

[Danny]

On my last note, I select Snow White.

[Tigercat]

Mel Kiper: "I just don't understand that draft strategy. First they pick someone who was already selected, and then they go from a man whos can fly into space to a woman who can't eat an apple without fainting. Thats like going from Warren Sapp to Bill Gramatica. But I thought Ryan Leaf was the next Dan Marino, what do I know?"

[Danny]

Sure, Snow White may not be able to complete with the Supermans in todays game, but in her time she was the best. She revolutionized the game.

[Tigercat]

Hey if her feminine charms can win over 7 men who live in a cabin in the woods by themselves, one man in tights and a cape doesnt stand a chance.

[Easy Mac]

Shit, what other chick was gangbanged by 7 little men, beside Subby.

[oykib]

lol I think you stole My pick and Eagleeye11's

BASTARD

Heh heh heh...

Space Ghost is the guy I was gonna take before I got the epiphany and took Buzz Lightyear.

[kingfc22]

Peter Pan.

How many movies have centered around this one character?

[BigJohn&TheLions]

I like Alladin, Ariel and some other recent disney movie characters, but having them selected before the classics who have proben to withstand the test of time? Im not too sure about that.
AHEM!!! That was supposed to be Princess Ariel from THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN! She saved Thundarr's butt every show and she was the hottest cartoon dame to boot... :D

[Danny]

Peter Pan was taken in round 1

[sterlingice]

With our fifth pick we select:

The Shredder (from teenage mutant ninja turtles)
6'2"
220lbs
4.5 40
NFL Comparison: Ray Lewis

Positives: How has all characters from TMNT lasted this long? Its insane! I could argue, that perhaps outside of say spongebob squarpants today, TMNT enjoyed the most popular and successfull run of any cartoon since the 70s. I think Spongebob has a long way to go to overtake the Ninja Turtles. Spongebob has only had 4 seasons whereas many other shows have gone much longer (for instance, TMNT went 10 seasons, DBZ and Pokemon are over 200 episodes, and the Looney Tunes have been on for decades). I have been reticent to take any turtles because, well, there's basically 6 main characters, and unless there's a turtle run, one or more of them will still be sitting on the board and none are really more popular than any others. I love the comparison to Ray Lewis :)

SI

[Danny]

TMNT rules, its just like SI, there really isnt any specific star of the series like unlike SpongeBob.

[kingfc22]

Peter Pan was taken in round 1


Forgot to crosss him off my list.

I take Snoopy with my pick.

[WSUCougar]

Shit, what other chick was gangbanged by 7 little men, beside Subby.
The essence of Easy Mac, in 15 words or less. :D

[Easy Mac]

SirFozzie is on the clock, then Ragone has a double pick.

And WSUCougar is an asspirate.:)

[Danny]

I like Snoopy, but does anyone else think It's Charlie Brown who is the true star of peanuts?

[k0ruptr]

I do, but who gives a fuck what i think. lol

[SirFozzie]

Evil Grin.. One of my favorite all time cartoon characters never really had his own show, but oh boy did he get a lot of work as a "sidekick".

MUTTLEY, DO SOMETHING!!!!

(snickerlaughs)

My Pick: Muttley (Wacky Races, Catch The Pigeon, etc etc etc)

[k0ruptr]

who?

[SirFozzie]

bah. bah I say. ;)

[Ragone]

Ooh .. my picks.. ok for this pick.. i take another Smart Character..

Marvin The Martian

[Ragone]

And to Give my Team a more modern flavor.. and a bit more Bulk.. i select


The Tick :)

[Easy Mac]

SirFozzie has free reign for the next 5 minutes.

Then kingfc22 is also on the clock.

[SirFozzie]

My next pick?

El Kabong himself..

Quickdraw McGraw!

(or as Baba Louie would say.. "Queeksdraw McGraw")

[Easy Mac]

Now its just kingfc22 until 5 am.

[Danny]

We need someone to write a review of the draft so far. I would, but I am so ridiculously biased that no one besides me would grade above a D :).

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Evil Grin.. One of my favorite all time cartoon characters never really had his own show, but oh boy did he get a lot of work as a "sidekick".

MUTTLEY, DO SOMETHING!!!!

(snickerlaughs)

My Pick: Muttley (Wacky Races, Catch The Pigeon, etc etc etc)GREAT PICK!

[kingfc22]

Ooh .. my picks.. ok for this pick.. i take another Smart Character..

Marvin The Martian


NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kingfc22]

Yosemite Sam. Need a crazy gun slinger on my team.

[Easy Mac]

2 gun-slingers in a row. k0ruptr is on the clock.

And I meant to do an evaluation after each round, but I've just gotten too bogged down in school work. I'm actually working on 2 5-page papers right now.

[k0ruptr]

P PP Puh PORKY PIG!


Thats all FOOOOOOOOLKS

[Easy Mac]

EagleEye11 is on the clock.

[Danny]

Charlie Brown

[oykib]

I'll take the most succesful comic book superhero to have a cartoon:





Spiderman

> The funniest hero
> The first one to do cartoon to succesfully do CG (don't give me Beast Wars or Voltron)
> Probably has the most recognized theme song of any of the action heroes
> Now i've got a kickass duo with he and Space Ghost

[Easy Mac]

TigerCat is on the clock

[Tigercat]

With our sixth pick we select:

Gumby
Height:??
Weight:??
40:??
NFL Comparison:John Gruden(what cartoon character's facial expressions can't be compared to Gruden?)

Positives:Had production in four different decades. Very popular during his time. Groundbreaking in style. Great athletic ability and control over his body.
Negatives:Not as widely known today. He seems to stop and go alot. Questionable acceleration.
Summary:Underdog type that could be a steal at this point in the draft. Starting WR who could adjust to the ball on the fly.

[Easy Mac]

BigJohn&theLions is go

[Danny]

Just my opinion, but Gumby should be disqualified as he is not a cartoon character. He is claymation. Two different things.

[Tigercat]

But then is computer animation a cartoon?

[oykib]

Just my opinion, but Gumby should be disqualified as he is not a cartoon character. He is claymation. Two different things.

I disagree. He is still animation. We've already approved Computer Graphics cartoons.

I considered Gumby myself.

I think I'd draw the line at puppets.

[Danny]

Hmmm, those are still animation though right?

[Danny]

I dont know, perhaps an expert can shine light on this terribly difficult situation :).

[Tigercat]

My thinking is this, Gumby was clearly produced as a cartoon type operation. As was Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ect. Computer animation is used in live action movies as well, that does not make Toy Story any less of a cartoon.

Edit:And it is ClayMATION a form of animation using clay.

[Danny]

car·toon ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kär-tn)
n.

3. An animated cartoon.

Clay·ma·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kl-mshn)

A service mark used for an animation process in which clay figurines are manipulated and filmed to produce an image of lifelike movement.

[oykib]

Since we've got drafters on either side, why don't we go with the side that's seconded and thirded by the other drafters first. Right now accepting or declining have both been nominated. We can consider Eagle Eye, Tigercat, and myself to already have voted.

[Tigercat]

Notice the very definition of claymation says an animation process. Computer animation is an offshoot of animation just as much as claymation is. If we wanted to stick to handdrawn cartoons that would be understandable, but we crossed that bridge a long, long time ago in this draft!

[Danny]

Lets just give it to him :)

[sterlingice]

Lets just give it to him :)
I've been tossing this around, too, on my draft list, but if someone put a gun to my head, I'd lean towards "cartoon character". If we're using the strictest definition, then, no, he isn't a cartoon in the sense that he's not drawn with ink and paint. But, as pointed out, he is animated, and if you stopped 100 non-stupid people (ie who actually thought about the question for a second) on the street, I bet slightly more than half would answer "yes" to the question "Would you consider Gumby a cartoon character?"

SI

[kingfc22]

I'd say give it to him.

[Tigercat]

Our team is just happy to have THE controversal pick in the draft. We are hopeing that it will translate to higher Gumby jersey sales. Pokey jerseys sold seperately.

[Suicane75]

Just my opinion, but i don't consider Gumby a cartoon character either. But for the purposes of the draft I say let it go.

[Tigercat]

You will all be sorry you didnt pick Gumby when hes catching TDs on your pathetic 2 dimensional characters! And to think, passed up because of Marij... i mean cause hes made out of clay. Yea, thats the problem.

On an unrelated note, if anyone else drafts a clay character, can I borrow its urine?

[WSUCougar]

Gumby, dammit.

[k0ruptr]

if gumby isn't a cartoon than I'm not marge schott damnit!

oh... wait.

hell yea gumbys a cartoon.

[Easy Mac]

BigJohn&TheLions selects Scooby Dumb

WSUCougar is on the clock.

And Gumby is a cartoon... period.

[WSUCougar]

I select:

Aquaman

Don't mess with a guy who's got sharks & whales on call.

[oykib]

Hey, Cougs, check out:

hxxp://www.seanbaby.com/superfriends/aquaman.htm

it's enlightening.

[TredWel]

I will fulfill my team's need of a Matt Groening character, as well as its need of a surly robot.

Bender

[Easy Mac]

Chubby is on the clock.

[Tigercat]

bump for Chubby (thats an odd phrase to have to say)

[Easy Mac]

Chubby is still up and AE (in the guise of k0ruptr) are up.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

BigJohn&theLions is go
I is go? Who what huh? Good thing I sent you a list, my internet is dead at home (helps to pay the bill) Won't have it at home for another week, then DSL BABY! :D

[kingfc22]

bump

[k0ruptr]

sorry, been gone. AE selects your momma


j/k gimme a min

[k0ruptr]

AE selects Roger Rabbit!


come on, who doesnt know roger rabbit..

[Easy Mac]

Chubby and Suicane are on the clock

[Suicane75]

I gotta give this some thought, ive got alot of modern characters, i should grab some older characters to balance my team but at the same time there alot of modern guys I still want.................I need a badass, not just with attitude but a true ass kicker, I select...............The Roadrunner.

[Ragone]

You may not select road runner.. he is mine :P

[Suicane75]

Ahhhhhh crap, I thought for sure he was still on the board, my bad. Gimme a minute to decide and double check the list.

[Suicane75]

OK, screw it, im not gonna go old just to get wins in a poll, im building my team with who I REALLY want from here on in. With that said, my pick, the oldest character in the draft and an Excellllllllllent choice, Mr. Burns.

[sterlingice]

I've been wanting a villain for a couple of rounds now. At the beginning of the draft, I knew I wanted one of four. Well, one was picked a few rounds ago (Cobra Commander), one just left the board less than an hour ago (Mr Burns), so rather than risk losing one of my others, I'll go with one now. From my favorite cartoon growing up, no, he's not quite the larger than life hero that his opponent was but Megatron certainly was a worthy adversary for Optimus Prime and now he joins my team.

SI

[PsychoCop]

My Picks:

Megatron was ruthless, unmerciful and soulless... but the perfect foil to Megatron's evil lordship was STARSCREAM, voiced by none other than Chris Latta... Starscream was just as cut-throat and maybe even more kniving than Megatron was... too bad he had to die in the Movie. hahaha.

My next pick... BraveStarr... nothing say cool like an entire galaxy turned into a huge western, whose protagonist has a shotgun-wielding, talking horse as a sidekick. Eyes of the Hawk, Ears of the Wolf, Strength of the Bear, Speed of the Puma!!!!

[sterlingice]

As much as I'd love to go back to the 80s and keep picking guys from there, I can't deny TMNT and their tremedous popularity any longer. It was an ensemble cast, but I was always partial to Leonardo, their leader. That leaves 1 drafted and 3 to go, get 'em while their hot ;)

SI

[k0ruptr]

umm....

would it be AE's turn again
man this thing is putting

[k0ruptr]

anyway since I think it is AE's turn, and I guess for some reason I'm still picking for him. lol

AE selects Donatello. sterlingice was right, get em while there hot.

[Easy Mac]

Suicane and Tredwel are on the clock

[Suicane75]

With my pick I will take the first cartoon character to ever make me feel special, special in an unknown way, special in a way that I wouldn't get a handle on till nearly 7 years later. I will take, from Scooby Doo, Daphne.

[k0ruptr]

With my pick I will take the first cartoon character to ever make me feel special, special in an unknown way, special in a way that I wouldn't get a handle on till nearly 7 years later. I will take, from Scooby Doo, Daphne.


that aint right.

[oykib]

that aint right.

What wasn't right was how in half the episodes Fred would send Velma off with Shaggy and Scooby and when the they regrouped he and Daphne would have mysterious smiles while he was fixing his scarf. :eek:

[Suicane75]

I was always jealous of Fred

[Tigercat]

You mean jealous of Velma? I think she was the only one in the group that would have actively persued Daphne beyond closed trap doors.

[Easy Mac]

6. TredWel is on the clock
7. WSUCougar is on the clock

[TredWel]

One of the more underrated old school characters.

Foghorn Leghorn

[Easy Mac]

WSUCougar and BigJohn&theLions are on the clock

[WSUCougar]

I need some youth and size. Give me that master of mayhem,

SHREK

[BigJohn&TheLions]

The Great Gazoo

[Tigercat]

With our 7th pick we select:

Dumbo
Height: 6'6" (on two legs, ears extended, with plenty of room to grow)
Weight: a lot
40 time: a lot
NFL comparison: Glibert Brown + Ted Washington + Grady Jackson

Positives: Like Gumby, I find this is another VERY VERY underrated character at this stage in the game. Over 60 years old, and still known UNIVERSALLY. If someone says another person has dumbo ears, everyone knows what they mean. Hes a big boy with room to grow. Earspan will help him clog running lanes on D.
Negatives:Athletic ability may be in question. Still a bit young.
Overall: Basic notoriety is near universal. Run clogging DT that will make a near immoveable object.

[Easy Mac]

oykib is on the clock

[oykib]

Mister Magoo.

Not only do you get the famous comic character-- there's also the Magoo classics series. Jim Bachus has probably done the best voice acting in American history for this character.

There was someone else that I was going to take here. But I decided that I couldn't keep holding off on Magoo. I think the rumors of his bad eyesight are what made him fall down the draft board. But he's a steal here in the seventh round.

[Easy Mac]

EagleEye11 is up

[Danny]

I select Underdog

[k0ruptr]

what?!? he wasnt taken. doh. well guess i have to pick someone else.

[k0ruptr]

I select Tweety!

how sylvester was taken before him is beyond me...

[Easy Mac]

yeah

[Easy Mac]

kingfc22 is up

[kingfc22]

Keith from Voltron. He was not only the commander and leader of the team, but he also piloted the sweet Black Lion.

[Suicane75]

Mister Magoo.

Not only do you get the famous comic character-- there's also the Magoo classics series. Jim Bachus has probably done the best voice acting in American history for this character.

There was someone else that I was going to take here. But I decided that I couldn't keep holding off on Magoo. I think the rumors of his bad eyesight are what made him fall down the draft board. But he's a steal here in the seventh round.

Very good pick. I was racking my brain for a classic character that would of been worth taking, if I had thought about it for longer Im sure I would have taken him.

[oykib]

Very good pick. I was racking my brain for a classic character that would of been worth taking, if I had thought about it for longer Im sure I would have taken him.

Mr. Magoo is among my all-time favorites. Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is still the best version of the tale I've ever seen. Seriously.

[Easy Mac]

SirFozzie and Ragone are up

[SirFozzie]

Baroness-GI Joe

The woman who showed that Hawt Chixxors could be villains too :)

[Easy Mac]

homestarrunner.com I think, or something similar.

[Easy Mac]

Captain Crunch <G>

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Captain Crunch <G>
do cartoon characters from commercials count? It's not like we had the Captain Crunch/Wonder Twins Power Hour :D

[kingfc22]

Belle - Beauty and the Beast

Need a women that can distract all the hideously ugly guys on the field.

[k0ruptr]

I select Barney Rubble to complete my tag team from the flintstones. muahaha muahaha ahahahhaha, I should get bonus points for having both of them.

[Easy Mac]

EagleEye11 is up

[Danny]

I select Ren from Ren and Stimpy of course.

[sterlingice]

I really like the last two picks (Barney and Ren). I would have picked either Ren or Stimpy a while ago but I simply can't stand the show.

SI

[Easy Mac]

Oybik has the pick until 1

[oykib]

I choose the smartest character in cartoon history.

The man with the lab...




Dexter

Seriously, I think Genndy Tartovsky is the greatest American animator today, if not all time. I put him up there with Disney, Fleischer, and Hanna-Barberra. He is not as prolific or famous as any of them. But I think his brilliance outshines them all. I am happy to get the character that started it all so late in the draft.

[Easy Mac]

tigercat is next

[Tigercat]

With our next pick we select:
Scrooge Mcduck
Height:4'0"
Weight:75lbs
NFL comparison:Any NFL owner not Dan Snyder.

Positives:Was the driving force of the popular cartoon duck tales, which was very successfull amongst kids growing up in the late 80s/early 90s. Has tons of money. Also has apeared in other disney productions such as renditions of a Christmas Carol.
Negatives:Perhaps a one generation cartoon wonder. A little too cheap about his money.
Overall:Possible GM and cap manager.

[Easy Mac]

BigJohn&TheLions

[oykib]

bump

[Easy Mac]

Gracias

BigJohn and WSUCougar are up.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

I select the most dastardly evil cartoon character ever: Boris Badenov

[WSUCougar]

I need to add some sex appeal to the mix. I'll take:

Josie (of Josie and the Pussycats)

[Easy Mac]

Tredwel is on the clock and Chubby is still gay.

[TredWel]

I'll pick another misguided good-guy:

Dudley Do-Right

[Easy Mac]

Ardententhusiast is up, to be picked by koruptr

[k0ruptr]

AE selects Bobby Hill! (man if i mess this up, relax cuz im gettin drunk.) Bobby Hill!

oh hell yea

man i love king of the hill its fucking awesome

[Easy Mac]

Its Suicane75's pick now.

[Poli]

I'm back in, if you don't mind.

AE

[Tigercat]

Was koruptr fired because he got drunk and selected Bobby Hill? That boy ain't right.

[Poli]

LOL, no he's sent me two reminders to reclaim my spot. :)

[Suicane75]

(Suicane 75 takes the stage)
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to turn your attention to the sky above us...outside the Hotel, hovering above us, the 8th round pick for my team. A "character" that has risen from the watery grave it once resided in, traversed the Universe and saved the earth, ladies and gentlemen, my pick, from Starblazers, The Battleship Yamato.

[sterlingice]

I need another classic animation character, this time from the Disney stable. I'll go with Chip of Chip and Dale fame. Not only a character that dates back over 50 years but the star of a quite popular show in the 90s with Rescue Rangers.

SI

[PsychoCop]

For my next 2 picks, I decide to round out the TMNT squad, and select

Michaelangelo and Raphael. Michaelangelo, to me, was the defining Ninja Turtle... his surfer lingo and laid back attitude... COWABUNGA. :)

[sterlingice]

Back in the day, she was the voice of reason but now, in the hands of lesser writers, she's just whiny: Lisa Simpson. Still, to pick up a major character from the best television show of all time in round 9 is a steal.

SI

[k0ruptr]

your momma.

[PsychoCop]

badabump

[Easy Mac]

Suicane75 and ardent enthusiast are up.

[Suicane75]

With the 3rd pick in Round 9, I ask you all, What the hell are YOU starin' at!!?!
I pick Duckman.

[Easy Mac]

ardent is up

[sterlingice]

With the 3rd pick in Round 9, I ask you all, What the hell are YOU starin' at!!?!
I pick Duckman.
I was strongly considering him for one of my two picks but decided to go with who I got. When I snuck out and watched that show when it was on originally, I didn't get a lot of the jokes, but now I realize that clearly the censors had long fallen asleep before it was on and they could get away with murder. The episode musical number "Carpet Party" in the women's prison (yes, it is implying what you were thinking) in the episode "Aged Heat 2: Women in Heat" was just the most flagrant example of this. I died laughing when I saw that for the first time in syndication on Comedy Central. For all the low brow sex and toilet humor, there was a ton of high minded jokes and satire hidden in a show you just didn't expect it in.

There were 2 characters that go together that I belive I could have taken
to end the draft but I needed to have Duckman on my team. I still have all the shows on VHS somewhere, it was the first Cartoon that I ever watched religiously and I really believe it paved the way for todays harder edge cartoons.

Chubby has dissapeared, I guess TredWel and WSUCougar and maybe even BigJohn&TheLions are up.

[TredWel]

Screw y'all, I'm just picking.

Jay Sherman.

Best cartoon character ever ... yeah, that's the ticket.

[sterlingice]

I'm glad they got the box DVD set out. I don't get many DVDs but I picked up complete sets of The Critic and Dilbert in the past couple of months.

SI

[Suicane75]

Bumpity Bizzump,

WSUCougar & BigJohn&TheLions would be on the clock i think.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Ranger Smith

Remember when this was supposed to last one evening? :D

[WSUCougar]

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

...from the clay-mation Christmas special.

[Tigercat]

With our 9th pick we select:
Baloo (movie: The Jungle book, series: Tailspin)

Height: 6'6"
weight: a lot
40:sometime tomorrow
NFL comparison: a taller version of me

Positives:Was perhaps the most memorable character in the disney movie the jungle book(and its horrible, horrible sounding recent sequel). Was also the main character in the popular disney chartoon tailspin. Two major roles for the price of one baby!
Negatives:Doesn't really have a mean streak. May be able to plug up some holes on D, but he won't improve his athletic ability by sitting around all day eating and spontaniously singing.
Overall:At least appeared to improve his intelligence when he went from roaming the jungle naked to piloting airplanes. Perhaps can fly the team charter jet?

[oykib]

Jerry Mouse

[Danny]

I select Wonder Woman

[k0ruptr]

I select, an absolute steal I feel in the ninth round ...


"Speedy Gonzalez"

[Danny]

KingFC22 is on the clock.

umm lets go , or do we all quit.
Someone needs to wake up Easy Mac so he can update the first post. Whose turn is it right now?

SI

[Danny]

I want to finish. Come on guys, only a little over 1 round left. lets go!

[Ragone]

guess i'll give sirfozzie a few more hours then take a pick

[Danny]

He's had two days, so you might as well pick when you get the chance.

[Ragone]

I select Nemo and Mr. Peabody (and his Wayback machine~)

[Sharpieman]

I am not surprised that no one has picked Silver Surfer from the X - men cartoons.

Toweliee is not the worst character ever...Silver Surfer was

[Easy Mac]

sorry, I was out of town all last week and started my last semester of college this week, so I've had a long 2 weeks.

SirFozzie is up for 2 picks
kingfc22 is up for 1 pick.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Wish I was that close... Still workin on that assholeshits degree. One class at a time takes forever... :(

[Suicane75]

Bizzy Izzy Umple

[Poli]

Clearly it's my turn to draft again.

[k0ruptr]

I am picking already, I select Darkwing duck.

[k0ruptr]

Now can we all just agree that I have the best team.

[Suicane75]

Bumpity Bump ump
I think we can safely say that SirFozzie, kingfc22, EagleEye11, oykib, Tigercat or BigJohn&TheLions can make their picks at this point.

[k0ruptr]

I think this thread died :(

[Suicane75]

I think this thread died :(


It's lookin that way. And so close to the end.

[Danny]

Ill take the Grinch.

[oykib]

I'll the character who was responsible for the "Real" Robot Revolution in Japan. This was the change that gave us real Science Fiction and solid character construction as opposed to the "Super" Robots (Mazinger Z, Tetsujin 28/Gigantor, Combattler V) and Charicaturish heroes of earlier anime.

The revolution began with Gundam. Gundam was based on the the current astrophysical and metaphysical theroies and was a departure in that the war depicted was not a battle between good and evil-- rather it was the conflict between different cultures and ideologies.

The defining character of the series was



Char Aznable.

He was the villian whom everyone identified with. He secretly joined the corrupt Zabi familiy's army in order to et revenge for the murder of his father, the social revolutionary that built the state that the Zabis usurped.

This put him at odds with the heroes from the Earth Federation. But he was the character that everyone liked. Every mecha war story has a Char Aznable character.

The masked anti-hero is ever present-- an homage to the great Aznable. His popularity directly lead to the biggest cartoon franchise in Japan-- Gundam.

[Tigercat]

For our last pick we select:
The Bill on Capitol Hill (School House Rock)

So we decided to go with somewhat of a one trick pony here. School house rock, however, was quite a popular program, and its catchy little songs such as bill on capitol hill and conjuction junction infested the minds of a couple of generations of children. So we have decided to draft argueably the most popular character, the bill on capitol hill.

So now, if we want to protect our teams substance abuse users(coughPOPEYEcough) we have an advocate in DC.

[SirFozzie]

I take, for my final pick:

Voltron, Defender of the Universe. (Lions Version)

[kingfc22]

I take Skeletor. Need an evil character on my team. Sort of like a bruiser in hockey.

[Suicane75]

Bumpa Humpa Lumpa. I take Gargamel from the Smurfs. Clearly the first Gay Saturday Morning cartoon character.

[Tigercat]

Hey there was that obviously gay smurf too.(the artist one?) Although, I suppose the smurf with the mirror might have been too. Come to think of it, none of the smurfs really seemed to notice smurfette was female. Holy smurf, I think they might have all be smurfin gay.

Ha, with a multiple Flintstones character draft and no Betty Rubble to look at?! Think again!
