Very Funny Pictures of Ec Kids Very Funny Pictures of Spongbob

Cartoons have changed a lot in the decade since Paste originally published this list. Sure, new episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and SpongeBob Squarepants are churned out each yr like clockwork, but they're just the tip of the iceberg. Traditional cablevision networks have created new and exciting characters and worlds in animation, while streaming platforms have allowed even more creators to make the animated shows they want to brand.

No longer are cartoons something but for children to enjoy on Saturday mornings. Many employ wittier humor, more than complex characters and deeper stories to appoint those of any age, while even more target teens or adults as their prime audience, giving them the ability to tell relatable, powerful and hilarious stories within the realm of blitheness. Western cartoons take never been equally varied as they are now, and I believe they have the potential to attain the same cultural condition anime took decades agone in Japan.

With the world of cartoons changing so dramatically, we decided it was time to update our list of the pinnacle fifty drawing characters of all fourth dimension, taking into account the cultural influence, relatability, and relevance these animated humans, animals, vegetables, etc. hold inside the realm of animation in 2020.

48. Beavis & Butt-Caput

Created: 1992
Creator: Mike Judge
Voices: Mike Approximate

Beavis and Butt-Caput made MTV's lack of music much more than palatable. The show managed to both satirize and celebrate the everyman common denominator of the 1990s.

47. Larry the Cucumber (Vegie Tales)

Created: 1993
Creators: Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki
Phonation: Mike Nawrocki

After all the cultural expert that Christianity gave united states of america over the terminal two Millennia, the second half of the 20th century wasn't exactly a high-h2o mark. Just in the 1990s, Veggie Tales became the infrequent piece of genius pop civilization in the typical Christian bookstore.

Voices: George Lowe, C. Martin Croker, Andy Merrill, Don Kennedy

On his own, most probably wouldn't remember brief Hanna Barbera creation Space Ghost. Merely thanks to Mike Lazzo, the graphic symbol was repurposed in the 1990s as the awkward, hostile host of a surrealist talk show that ended upwards launching careers and inspiring a number of other smashing series (like Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman: Chaser at Law) that similarly repurposed onetime Warner IP for our modern amusement. —Allison Keene

44. Johnny Bravo

Created: 1995
Creators: Van Partible
Voice: Jeff Bennett

Information technology's unlikely that a bear witness like Johnny Bravo would be made today. Created correct before the realm of adult cartoons really took off, this prove was notwithstanding marketed for kids but let lots of risque sense of humor through under Cartoon Network's radar. Even though Johnny's behavior borders on the antipathetic, the show makes articulate that he's meant to be the opposite of a role model, nigh ever suffering some awful fate due to his hubris. Still, his nonsensical choice-upwards lines are ironically delightful. My favorite one: "Hey pretty mama, wanna see me comb my hair really fast?" —Joseph Stanichar

43. Felix the Cat

Created: 1919
Creators: Pat Sullivan, Otto Messmer

Nearly stars of the silent era didn't make survive the transition to sound, simply Felix—who once shared screen-fourth dimension with Charlie Chaplin—did just fine and remains an icon. —Josh Jackson

Based on Marc Brown's children's books, the Arthur Boob tube series has been on the air since 1996. In that time, the aardvark—along with his friends and family—has learned hundreds of lessons about how to "get forth with each other," as the groovy theme song indicates. Arthur and his friends feel like existent kids, acting and speaking in ways that bodily kids their historic period practice, getting into arguments and misbehaving in ways that other shows might try to censor. The PBS bear witness has also been consistently inclusive with representations of characters with dissimilar cultures, identities, disabilities and fifty-fifty diseases such equally cancer, in a way that's respectful while not talking downward to kids. —Joseph Stanichar

40. Yogi Bear

Created: 1958
Creators: William Hanna, Joseph Barbera, Ed Benedict

Creator: Alex Hirsch
Voice: Alex Hirsch

A perfect combination of comedy and mystery, Dipper and Mabel Pines' keen-uncle, aka.

Created: 2013
Creator: Rebecca Sugar
Vocalism: Estelle

Revealed to be a fusion of two other characters, Cherry-red and Sapphire, Garnet is the embodiment of empowerment. A manifestation of these characters' queer relationship, she has both the ability to see into the hereafter and kick serious ass to modify it. Nowhere is this every bit evident every bit in her fight song, "Made of Love," in which she taunts her opponent while explaining how her bond is unbreakable.

Created: 1997
Creator: Mike Judge

Voices: Melendy Britt, Aimee Carrero

Originally designed as a female counterpart to the '80s cartoon superhero He-Human being, She-Ra became a character with her ain following and successful TV series, despite its corniness. However, the heroine got an unlikely reboot through Netflix in 2018, telling a much more complex and emotionally resonant story in Princesses of Power that took the likely adventitious queer undertones of He-Human's universe and translated them into intentionally queer-coded characters. — Joseph Stanichar

28. Korra (Avatar: The Legend of Korra)

Created: 2012
Creators: Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko
Voice: Janet Varney

The next Avatar later The Concluding Airbender's Aang, Korra represented a slightly older, more mature reincarnation of the chief of globe, water, burn and air. Instead of one evil Burn Lord to confront off against, Korra spends the entirety of her series fighting to understand and accost the problems facing Republic City and the world, while likewise discovering her own legacy and path. Her final scene in which she holds easily with another female character, Asami, may seem to be an understated course of LGBTQ+ representation when compared to others on this listing, merely information technology was an important commencement pace that paved the fashion for hereafter representation. —Joseph Stanichar

27. Pinky & the Brain (Animaniacs)

Created: 1995
Creator: Tom Ruegger
Voices: Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche

Enough of drawing characters take had ambitions for world domination, but no one else merely wanted to be a benevolent dictator like The Brain. His not-then-reliant sidekick Pinky may cause The Brain abiding headaches, but his enthusiasm and loyalty make him impossible not to love. —Josh Jackson

25. Harley Quinn

Created: 1992
Creator: Paul Dini, Bruce Timm
Voices: Arleen Sorkin, Kaley Cuoco, diverse others

In an unconventional twist, Harley Quinn made her debut not in a comic book, but in the cartoon serial Batman: The Animated Series. "In the script she was merely an unnamed Joker "hench-wench" w/ no discernible personality," Joker vocalism actor Mark Hamill shared recently. "When Arleen began reading her lines in that unforgettable phonation so poignant & full of heart I nearly savage off my chair! She brought SO much more was on the page & a legend was born."

24. Wile E. Coyote (Looney Tunes)

Created: 1949
Creators: Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese
Voices: Mel Blanc, Seth MacFarlane, various others

Charlie Chocolate-brown will never kick his football, and Wile E. will never catch the Roadrunner. These are amid the first truths learned by any child in America, even as they're exposed to the beauties of the Western desert. His clever plans and box of oftentimes-malfunctioning Pinnacle tricks resulted in our favorite coyote falling off cliffs, getting crushed by stones, and at the center of crater-inducing explosions; no cartoon graphic symbol suffered more for our entertainment. —Josh Jackson

23. Mordecai and Rigby (Regular Testify)

Created: 2010
Creator: J.G. Quintel
Voices: J.G. Quintel, William Salyers

"Don't look at our crotches while we synchronize our watches!" That's ane of many lines from this duo that doesn't make much more sense inside context but is just as enjoyable. The 23-yr-quondam blue jay and racoon have too much time on their hands and fill up it past doing increasingly ridiculous and fantastical stunts, frequently going from mundane hijinks to milky way-bending sci-fi within each episode. —Joseph Stanichar

22. Scrooge McDuck (DuckTales)

Created: 1947
Creator: Carl Barks
Voices: Dallas McKennon, Nib Thompson, Alan Young, David Tennant, various others

Scrooge McDuck has appeared in a dizzying number of Disney stories over the years, cementing his icon condition equally he stole the spotlight from nephew Donald and grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Virulently anti-scallywag, hopelessly misanthropic, often seen diving into his pool of gilded, Scrooge is laughing all the mode to the banking company. —Allison Keene

21. Rick and Morty

Created: 2013
Creators: Justin Roiland, Dan Harmon
Phonation: Justin Roiland

Based on a crude animation of Back to the Future's Marty and Medico, Kayla Cobb described Rick and Morty best when she called it a "never-catastrophe fart joke wrapped around a studied expect into nihilism." The pubescent Morty goes on trips throughout dimensions with his alcoholic, jaded grandfather Rick, who sees himself equally an unstoppable strength despite his underlying insecurities. Sadly, too many fans get the wrong lessons from Rick, unironically idolizing his toxic behavior. — Joseph Stanichar

20. Tina Belcher (Bob's Burgers)

Created: 2011
Creator: Loren Bouchard
Voice: Dan Mintz

With her anxious groans and her freaky friend fiction, Tina Belcher encapsulates the confused horny sadness of being a teen. That, plus her compassion and active imagination, often makes her the very heart of the first-class Bob's Burgers. —Rae Nudson

19. Fred Flintstone (The Flintstones)

Created: 1960
Creators: William Hanna, Joseph Barbera
Voices: Alan Reed, Jeff Bergman, various others

The patriarch of his modern stone-age family, Fred proved that cartoons weren't just for kids.

18. Dr. Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb)

Created: 2007
Creators: Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
Vocalization: Dan Povenmire

He may deed like an evil scientist, but the truth is that Dr. Doofenshmirtz isn't actually that bad — or smart. Nosotros beloved his back-story monologues well-nigh his babyhood in Gimelschtump, Druselstien. We dear his ridiculously named devices (the Ugly-Inator, the Age-Acclerator-Inator) and that his nemesis is a platypus. The subtleties of the human relationship are pitch-perfect. When Perry busts in on Doofenshmirtz when his blind date is about to make it, Perry accommodates his rival by pretending to exist his pet ("She doesn't know I take a nemesis"). And about of all, we dear his songs. —Josh Jackson

17. Eric Cartman (South Park)

Created: 1997
Creators: Trey Parker, Matt Stone
Voice: Trey Parker

Who else just Eric Cartman could inspire 10 parallels with Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary? This selfish, foul-mouthed, hippie-hating, drawing brat is the antithesis of political correctness; an Archie Bunker for a new generation. Over the last ii decades, he's been the perfect vehicle for broaching taboos Americans are also terrified to engage in polite conversation. —Josh Jackson

16. Rocky and Bullwinkle (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle)

Created: 1959
Creators: Jay Ward, Alex Anderson, Bill Scott
Vocalisation: June Foray, Neb Scott

The animation might non have been fancy, simply the scripts were funny every bit Rocky and Bullwinkle fended off threats from the very Eastern European-sounding Pottsylvania. —Josh Jackson

Created: 2009
Creator: Adam Reed
Voice: H. Jon Benjamin

James Bail with Mommy problems, Sterling Archer'due south crass immoderacy fabricated for some of the all-time transgressive and subversive antics on TV, but just because a surprising compassion would occasionally pop through his narcissistic playboy exterior. And as he'southward done in Home Movies, Bob'south Burger's, Family Guy and and so many other animated comedies, H. Jon Benjamin's performance volition constantly have you laughing every bit Archer casually drinks his mode through another misguided spy mission. —Josh Jackson

14. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup (The Powerpuff Girls)

Created: 1998
Creator: Craig McCracken
Voices: Cathay Cavadini, Tara Strong, Due east. G. Daily, various others

The ultimate vanguard of "you tin be cute and still kick ass," the funny and fierce Powerpuff Girls arrived on the 90s cartoon scene set to inspire and please a generation.

13. Winnie the Pooh

Created: 1926
Creators: A. A. Milne, Eastward. H. Shepard
Voice: Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, Jim Cummings

Beloved as he was in book form, for many, Winnie-the-Pooh's Disney adventures are the best remembered iterations of this Giddy Ol' Bear. Across his big center and inherent sweetness, Winnie the Pooh as well normalized having an insatiable sweet tooth. — Allison Keene

12. Finn the Human and Jake the Dog (Adventure Time)

Created: 2010
Creator: Pendleton Ward
Voices: Jeremy Shada, John DiMaggio

You just can't split up this dynamic duo, our two plucky heroes from the Country of Ooo whose sense of humor, pathos, loyalty, and bravery elevated this wonderful, surreal, emotionally-deep series into must-come across condition for all ages. —Allison Keene

11. BoJack Horseman

Created: 2014
Creator: Raphael Bob-Waksberg
Voice: Will Arnett

Will Arnett's anthropomorphized, misanthropic horse has one of the most complicated, profound and securely felt redemption arcs of any TV graphic symbol in history. He was damaged and caused damage wherever he went, but we could love him fifty-fifty when he didn't love himself. Never has a drawing tackled such deep and difficult topics with such a deft hand. That it was also consistently hilarious was a bonus, and at the heart of it all was a done-up '90s sitcom actor struggling in the wake of his fame. —Josh Jackson

10. Steven Universe

Created: 2013
Creator: Rebecca Saccharide
Vocalization: Zach Callison

Most drawing characters never grow upwardly, staying the same youthful age no matter how many seasons their bear witness gets. Not so with Steven Universe. Rebecca Carbohydrate's titular character grows up almost in real fourth dimension, acquiring new powers and learning more well-nigh himself as the son of a human and magical gem from an conflicting planet. This is heightened in the sequel series Steven Universe Future, in which the now 16-twelvemonth-one-time Steven struggles with mental wellness issues rarely discussed in cartoons for whatsoever historic period. In a show all about loving yourself for who you are, Steven demonstrates how difficult that can actually be. —Joseph Stanichar

ix. Zuko (Avatar: The Concluding Airbender)

Created: 2005
Creators: Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko
Voice: Dante Basco

That's right: Non Aang, but Zuko! Watching Zuko's first and last episodes, they don't even seem to be the same graphic symbol. The former is a stuck-upward prince in a ponytail, unable to contain his rage and angst. The latter is a more emotionally intelligent graphic symbol, embracing his uncle in a teary plea for forgiveness. Notwithstanding when watched chronologically, the transformation between the two is seamless. Shaped by both hate and dearest, Zuko'south story is tragic yet uplifting, creating non only i of the best characters not simply in animation, but tv set as a whole. — Joseph Stanichar

8. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Created: 1984
Creators: Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird
Voices: Cam Clarke, Barry Gordon, Rob Paulsen, Townsend Coleman, various others

For the purposes of this list, nosotros're focusing on the OG crew who became iconic for 90s kids, these radical pizza-eating ninja-style fighters with a rat for a sensei, withal elegantly named later on some of history's greatest artists. Information technology's impossible to choice a "all-time" turtle for the list, because it's all downwardly to individual personality. Together, though, they are essential to popular culture history in all of their forms (including as one of the pinnacles of "the bear witness is for the toy"). — Allison Keene

7. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers

Created: 1969
Creators: Joe Ruby, Ken Spears
Voices: Casey Kasem, Don Messick, various others

They never outright state information technology, but nosotros're pretty sure in that location's something… hallucinogenic in those "Scooby Snacks." Juxtaposed with the rest of the Scooby Gang, Shaggy and Scoob seem to be pretty useless, eating and lazing near most of the time and screaming in terror when confronted with anything spooky. And yet they're the easiest to love. Throughout all of Scooby-Doo's many adaptations, this duo of man and dog remains timeless. —Joseph Stanichar

6. Mickey Mouse

Created: 1928
Creators: Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks
Voices: Walt Disney, Bret Iwan, various others

It's easy to lose sight of the cartoon character Mickey in the shadow of the mascot for the Disney empire. Only there might not be a Disney empire only for the charms of an enthusiastic, audacious mouse. About a century after Disney's iconic "Steamboat Willie" short, the mouse will probable enter the public domain in 2024. Merely subsequently kickstarting an unfathomably rich $130 billion empire, that seems more fair. —Josh Jackson

5. SpongeBob Squarepants

Created: 1999
Creator: Stephen Hillenburg
Voice: Tom Kenny

This titular sponge's nautical nonsense may not be what many kids' parents wished for, but two decades of being on the air have cemented Tom Kenny's iconic laugh into the minds of audiences across the globe. Nothing proved this more than when creator Stephen Hillenburg passed away in 2018, igniting a movement to memorialize him at the Super Bowl with the song "Sweetness Victory" from one of its best episodes, "Band Geeks." Fans may take been snubbed there, only Hillenburg's legacy continues to live on through the naive sponge's everlasting popularity. —Joseph Stanichar

4. Tom and Jerry

Created: 1941
Creators: William Hanna, Joseph Barbera
Voices: William Hanna, diverse others

Silent motion-picture show by and large went away with the appearance of the talkies, but Hanna and Barbera's Tom and Jerry didn't demand dialogue to enrapture generations of children. The 114 shorts were created between 1940 and 1958, but they feel like they belonged to my babyhood in the tardily '70s, just like they'll feel like a role of my kids' childhoods when they grow upwards alongside the 2014 adaptation of the classic true cat-and-mouse hijinks. —Josh Jackson

iii. Charlie Chocolate-brown and Snoopy (Peanuts)

Created: 1950
Creator: Charles K. Schulz
Vocalisation: Peter Robbins, Neb Melendez, various others

Not every character survived the move from print to the Television set screen, but Charlie Brown and his canis familiaris Snoopy absolutely came to life through a handful of Telly specials and subsequent series. Snoopy's Scarlet Baron dreams, friendship with Woodstock and crush on Lucy won the hearts of kids, whereas older audiences connected with Charlie. Hapless Charlie Dark-brown is equally sympathetic a character equally we've ever had, real or animated. Unlucky in dear, untalented and trusting to a fault—we pull for him, knowing it'south all for naught. —Josh Jackson

two. Homer J. Simpson (The Simpsons)

Created: 1987
Creator: Matt Groening
Vocalization: Dan Castellaneta

The first ii seasons of The Simpsons were focused on Bart, merely as it became Homer-centric, the show became something truly special. He'south the everyman at our laziest, hungriest, dumbest, and drunkest. Yet thanks to good heart buried under all those doughnuts, he's also the hero that repeatedly saves the day—or at least restores everything to a condition quo which has endured for three decades and over thirty Halloween "Treehouse of Horror" specials, the 30th of which aired every bit the series' 666th episode. —Josh Jackson

1. Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)

Created: 1940
Creators: Ben Hardaway, Tex Avery
Voices: Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, various others

The coolest cat in cartoon history is a rabbit. Or a hare. That slight taxonomic difference was never addressed during his many antics, but he held an enviable insouciance through them all, whether being hunted with Elmer Fudd'south shotgun, Yosemite Sam'southward pistols or Marvin Martian's ACME Disintegration Pistol. The familiar confront of Warner Bros. only had one flaw: a poor sense of direction (especially when tunneling through New Mexico). — Josh Jackson
