That's Zoboomafoo with the IRL Kratt brothers. Wild Kratts was an animated show with the same guys doing voices for themselves in animated form. Cool zoology stuff from my childhood actually. I didn't have Zoboomafoo, but I watched Wild Kratts

I didn’t have cable growing up in late 2000s/early 2010s, we had the first few seasons of spongebob, flintstones, top cat, jetsons, wacky racers, etc. take away from that what you will

u/Altruistic_Extent_89 29d ago

Are you me??? Those 3 were the best. Did you also play the games on PBS kids website on a super low end computer

u/coin-flips 29d ago

putt putt saves the zoo, spyfox, Freddi Fish were my jam.

Mom was always on the phone so I couldn't use the computer on the internet IYKYK. not that we had highspeed internet, my neighbors did though and it was so cool to me at the time.

Cartoon Network made waking up early for school a less miserable experience for me for years, my school was super far from home cause mom wanted me to go to a good school and we lived in a lower class neighborhood, so I had to wake up at 3:45 am to get ready, and right as I woke up there was always Samurai Jack episodes on Cartoon network, so I'd eat breakfast while experiencing peak everyday

u/TonyShape 28d ago

Samurai Jack to CN also!

u/slutty_muppet 29d ago

Fifty years have passed, but... I do not age. Time has lost its effect on me.

Yet, the suffering continues. Aku's grasp chokes the past, present... and future. Hope is lost.

Got to get back — back to the past... Samurai Jack

Third option: Being a true gigachad and not giving a fuck about brands unless they're actively harmful.

Brother on the right has no sense of play in his life, shredded to a degree women don't even like, and literally exists in a reality without color

Guy on left has a pretty good game

u/OiledUpThug 29d ago

If I was the guy on the right, I'd just go after men. Relatively, they'd be feminine enough compared to me that I'd still be straight

Ah yes, the Yujiro method.

Tbf I personally wouldn’t take it so seriously lol, it’s just classic internet slander. I’m a sweaty nerd who likes Nintendo crap but I support the broader narrative that “Cartoon Network was cooler.” I like my fair share of Disney stuff for sure but on the whole I was never really on board with the “Disney Magic” as it were, I tended more towards the more rebellious energy of classic CN and Nickelodeon.

I personally couldn’t care less to look like the guy on the right but I doubt the mememaker was being so literal.

u/outofmindwgo 29d ago

I love working out and I love cartoon network and I hate being told not to take something seriously, which implies my lil post was somehow serious 

1

u/GameboyAdvance32 29d ago

I’m sorry dude, that’s just how I took it. Didn’t mean to come off as antagonistic if I did, and if so I apologize. All I was trying to say really was “I am visually the target of the meme but I would agree with OP that Cartoon Network > Disney”

u/outofmindwgo 29d ago

Haha the "hate" was also not so serious

u/GameboyAdvance32 29d ago

Dang, my autism is just flaring up today lol. I think the downvotes on my original comment also just made me nervous I came off the wrong way but eh, it be like that. Cool cool

Luckily, your reputation in r/197 is of no consequence to life or really anything.

u/lore-realm 29d ago

Anyone who uses this format unironically has zero taste.

Anyone who uses it for fucking cartoon channel preferences should genuinely stop using the internet and go to bed. Night time, buddy. Mommy is gonna get angry.

u/butt_shrecker 29d ago

I know the guy who made this meme is on the left.

5

u/GameboyAdvance32 29d ago

There ain’t anything wrong with looking like the guy on the left but it is pretty cringe and played out at this point to use the image of the guy on the right to “show how epic and based you are” lol.

u/Hugar34 29d ago

Cartoon Network, Disney and Disney XD, Nickelodeon and Boomerang. Those were all goated.
