I was watching pic related when I realized something, why aren't gag cartoons a thing in the same way as gag anime? Gag anime make up some of my favorites (Gintama, Nichijou) and I don't see why it couldn't be more popular with western audiences. The only examples I could think of that fit the bill would be some classic cartoons, Chowder, and TTGo for a more modern cartoon (which I don't actually watch).
I didn't even think of TTGo when I first started writing this post so there could very well be some modern shows I'm missing out on, but I think my point still stands, why is this genre/style pretty much non-existent in modern day western cartoons?

the west already went through a physical gag phase a century ago because of sound limitations
Gag cartoons is what basically dominated and had the most wide spread influence in not just the west but the whole damn world.
I wouldn't be able to explain why these cartoons have slowly died down but I guess it's a mix lower costs on animations (not Hannah Barbara low but lowish) and the new influx of cartoon creators wanting their work to be more story and continuity driven,
That said Gumball is one of the best gag cartoons I've seen.
Uncle Grandpa?
T-there are gonna be new seasons, right?

Ah true, forgot about Gumball too. Stopped watching at end of season 2 because I couldn't be bothered at the time to find/download the rest, will definitely pick back up when I get the chance.

I thought about it, but it looks like complete garbage with the ratings to back it up. I'm usually willing to give any show 2-3 episodes but even from the clips I've seen it doesn't look like it'd interest me.

That's not how you spell jyushimatsu.

If you would rather discuss anime than cartoons, then please do so on /a/ instead of /co/.

All I know is that this anime has a lot of gay incest doujins.
