Yes. The storyboard driven "off-model" philosophy is still used in cartoons to this day, for better or worse.

The most influential cartoon of recent is currently airing.

>a tv show can only be influential while it's still airing

>>91606946

I'd say the threshold for recent years is anything that aired from 2004 onward, whether it be the premiere or the finale.

It's Spongebob.

>>91606946
No adventure time is.

>>91606946
Yes, pretty much the first cartoony cartoon (for lack of a better term) on TV for the longest time.

Also, a threadly reminder that Nickelodeon was right to fire John K. and Bob Camp doesn't get nearly enough credit for picking up the pieces.

>Bob Camp doesn't get nearly enough credit for picking up the pieces.
Yeah, he did a good job making Season 3 enjoyable, but Seasons 4 and 5 were absolute garbage worse than APC.

>Ren and Stimpy
>recent years
Sure thing, gramps.

I'm not sure I would even call (early) Spongebob "recent years." Try Adventure Time.

>>91608239
Is there a video example of this?
I'm still baffled this is a thing. Tumblr Universe has so many problems, why the fuck do people still defend it.

Believe it or not, it's probably this one.

It basically pioneered flash animation and today's Cal-Arts style of choice all on its own.

>>91606946
Ren and Stimpy inspired, or if not, paved the way for '90s cartoons. Spongebob was the biggest show to come out of that era and inspired a lot of 2000's cartoons and the after that Adventure Time which has influenced the look and tone of almost every show after it.

>>91610800
Bob Camp was an integral member of the R&S team, he storyboarded Stimpys Invention for chrissakes, but didn't understand the characters enough to helm the show himself imo. the Games Era episodes were repetitive and flat.

>>91607563
Modern Spongebob is shit due to how hard it tries to be Ren and Stimpy

>>91613598
This. People rag on John K. and Spumco a lot, but the show was garbage without them.

Well, garbage is maybe too harsh, there were a handful of good ones.

>>91606946
in recent years? Not really.

Most modern grossout shows more look like South Park and Family Guy wannabes, and Slapstick hasn't been the norm in animation for a long time.

Influence, not popularity. How often do you see a John K style nowadays, or ever?

>>91611061
I take your Mucha Lucha and raise it with Flapjack.
>Like most 2000s shows, popularised thin-line animation

>How often do you see a John K style nowadays
Well you just posted a good example.

>>91614738
Touche, but I stand by what I said. Ren and Stimpy's style of cartoonishness isn't as pervasive to this day as one might think.

>>91606946
I'd say Simpsons is. A lot of modern cartoons show a lot of signs in both art and writing that some of the staff were fans when they were younger.

Why not just ask creators?

>>91614225
Flapjack was also where a number of prominant Animation people got their start (J.G. Quintel, Pendleton Ward, Alex Hirsch, Patrick McHale).

>>91606946
God I fucking hate John K fans they're like weeabos.

>Look at our retarded thoughtless, talentless written cartoons!! aren't they the pinnacle of animation and so much more superior than everything else, including french animation?

>recent years
>1992-1995

Anon I have some bad news for you

>>91606946
Ren and Stimpy is the reason why cartoons try too hard to be gross and vulgar without any of the subtly and charm of the original.

>>91608242
Even if it will eventually be true, you can't know that because influence works forward.
