WHY IN THE WORLD DO SO MANY CARTOONS HAVE PUNS FOR THE EPISODE TITLES
the Loud House has them, my life as a teenage robot has them, pepper ann has them, and probably most cartoons have them.

The real question is, "Why not?"

episode 1 - Ziterella instead of Cinderella episode 8 - The Environ-mentals instead of environmentalists because they're mental episode 9 - Crush and Burn instead of crash and burn episode 11 - Sketch 22 instead of Catch 22 season 2 episode 17 - An Otterbiography instead of autobiography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Robot_episodes episode 7 - Ear no Evil instead of Hear no Evil episode 8 - Unlicensed Flying Object instead of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) episode 14 - the boy who cried robot instead of the boy who cried wolf episode 23 - saved by the shell instead of saved by the bell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...House_episodes episode 2a - heavy meddle instead of heavy metal episode 4b - a tale of two tables instead a tale of two cities episode 5b - In Tents Debate instead of intense debate episode 8a - Linc (the name of the character is Lincoln) or swim instead of sink or swim i like puns, but honestly i feel like the whole point of some episodes are just based on puns i like puns but i like it better when the creators of video games actually think of an original level or world name instead of basing it off a pun; it makes the game seem more real (that sounded a lot more harsh than i meant it to be; i like puns a lot but original names makes the game more special to me)

Re: WHY IN THE WORLD DO SO MANY CARTOONS HAVE PUNS FOR THE EPISODE TITLES
probably because puns are more effective and easier to think of than original titles, and easier to say
it's probably a trope by now. altho one of my favorite cartoons ever is ed edd and eddy and all of their episode titles include "ed" somehow. Last edited by contrapatior; 01-19-2017 at 08:22 AM.. |

Re: WHY IN THE WORLD DO SO MANY CARTOONS HAVE PUNS FOR THE EPISODE TITLES
Yeah. If the title was dead serious it would be better.
Animation WD-11; in which a mouse pilots a nautical machine. Animation HB-55; in which the day to day life of a neolithic stonemason is documented. Animation AT-23b; part two of a comic chronicling the lives of alien martial artists. Animation HB-27; a rabbit protagonist thwarts death time and again, outwitting a speech-impaired hunter

Re: WHY IN THE WORLD DO SO MANY CARTOONS HAVE PUNS FOR THE EPISODE TITLES
I mean good question, but I think a better one would be "Why do so many cartoon characters wear gloves?"

Back in the 1920s the picture quality needed help from some serious contrast. It was easier to see a glove hand do things then just a weird extension of the arm goop move about. Look how uncanny some of the Felix shorts look pre-glove Also people tend not to realize this but for the working class at the turn of the century people actually wore gloves a lot of the time, so it didn't seem unnatural. I forget the name of the trope but it's a case of the design choice becoming obsolete and sticking around anyway because we still expect and accept it in the context of a cartoon Last edited by MixMasterLar; 07-26-2020 at 08:33 PM.. Reason: 1920s, not 1910s |
