    Johnny Bravo’s one of those rare cartoons where you got raw, condensed toxic masculinity in a character - and the entire show he’s just the punching bag and none of us batted an eye because we just immediately accepted that his behavior was dickish and every woman was justified in kicking his ass.

      I wonder if it would even work today.

      For one, he’s basically doing an Elvis impression, which was fairly dated even in the 90s. Lol

        If growing up with Simpsons taught me anything is that you need to get the reference to like the material.

          Tell us about a time you finally got the reference after you saw ‘The Simpsons,’ please.

            Too many to count, but the entirety of “Cape Feare” was a good one. I only saw the film the episode was based later on in life. It was one of favourite episodes beforehand and seeing the references only increased my appreciation.
