I saw Shadow's thread and the first thing that came to mind for me was TV shows and movies, not songs and music videos -- so now I'm making a thread for that, too!
...And, ok, another big reason why I'm so eager to make a thread about it is because I knew exactly what I would put down, if it was a TV/movie thread.
YES, THE BEATLES HAD THEIR OWN TV SHOW.
AND IT WAS AWFUL.
And, yeah, the only reason I'm even aware that this cartoon exists is because I'm such a big fan of the actual band -- but honestly, I'm not even that mad this cartoon mucking up its source material or anything, it's just... a bad cartoon.
Terrible voice acting, lazy animation, and the writing is always just so... awkward. Like, they have these episode plots that are built around Beatles songs, but, despite the fact that a lot of the songs already tell a story to begin with, they instead come up with something completely unrelated and find the most forced, awkward way to make their story marginally connect to the song lyrics. I'll have to see if I can find some good examples later... but yeah, I'm always just so morbidly curious as to where they're going with each bizarre plot thread, and I guess that's what keeps me watching.
I'm also pretty sure the creators of this cartoon have no idea what an actual teenage girl sounds like, judging by the voices for the Beatles' fangirls.
Hell, I'm pretty sure the makers of this cartoon have never even heard the Beatles themselves before, or at least, never heard them talk, seeing as how their VA's sound nothing like the real things. I mean, I don't expect the faux Beatles to be able to sing like the real ones -- obviously they just edited in the studio recordings of the songs for that -- but, they could've at least tried to mimic their normal speaking voices...? And it just makes the transitions into the musical numbers sound even more awkward, given how radically the characters' voices change.
And I've only scratched the surface of everything wrong with this cartoon... I wanted to link to some examples, but all the clips on youtube are in downright terrible quality. It wouldn't take much digging to find full episodes of it online if you guys are really curious enough to watch. >_>
I've also recently been considering changing my avatar/signature set to something from the cartoon...
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT!! What are some of YOUR top so-bad-it's good TV shows and movies???
