Alasdair Beckett-King, a comedian who is very English, exhibits the grumpy old man inside all of us once we pass the age of 30 or so. At that point, popular youth culture becomes weird. Or perhaps, to borrow a phrase from Douglas Adams, it goes “against the natural order of things.”
Were the cartoons of our youth actually that good? They certainly encouraged us to buy toys, as advocated by The Transformers, and villains had preposterous motivations, like on Captain Planet. But we did beat the communists, right?

P.S. I’ll save you a Google search. No, Professor Meatdog is not an actual cartoon aired these days. But I’d watch it if it was.
