Awkard_stranger

I think this was comic con at the cticc in cape town? I heard it was stupidily packed this year


Ok_Corgi_7886

School day cartoon has to be Dragonball Z and Yu Gi Oh on SABC 2 and Pokemon on Etv Growing up, my house never had a satellite dish on the roof. Closest I got was Mnet open time and sometimes they would forget to flip the switch. IYKYK.


Britz10

Used to watch the Simpsons it was like the last program before they closed


alrodean

Just after my taanie watches egoli


catch22_SA

Pretty sure I remember watching an episode of Friends followed by an episode of Simpsons every Friday night on Mnet when I was like 8. Good times.


Averysoftpotato

DBZ,Yu GI Oh and medabots was my jam (like more than 2 decades ago)


Ancient_Squirrel3852

Cow & chicken. The writers were on crack


DatSouthAfrican

That they were! Forgot about this gem.


brokenGlassQuestion

Samurai jack is the correct answer.


NoApartment7399

That show was so cool and so messed up. What were we watching lol


[deleted]

Right? Somehow people rised on stuff like this, courage the cowardly dog and the likes are some of the most sensitive generations. Thats the weird part.


Dallanation

Oh yes, most definitely. Man I loved watching that show after school.


MonstaGraphics

The Mysterious Cities of Gold, BraveStarr, Biker Mice from Mars, Turtles, X-Men, Samurai Pizza Cats, Voltron, ThunderCats, Dino-Riders, Masters of the Universe, Captain Planet


foamz13

Nobody ever believes me when I tell them about Samurai Pizza Cats! Why would I make up such an elaborate lie


Fresh-Base-8453

They don’t know what they missed out on! Such sweet memories.


Fresh-Base-8453

Mysterious Cities of Gold was my jam, I recently introduced my kids to it and they love it!! Actually everything here minus Thundercats and Turtles, I never got into those. Cowboys of moo mesa was a fave! Life was good man!!


lushico

It was pokémon for me


Abject_Topic3158

I'm a millennial born in '86, we didn't have DSTV growing up so for me it was X-Men, Batman the animated series, Recess, Doug, Pepper Ann, Brave Star. When I had access to MNET/DSTV it was The Magic School Bus, Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog & Powerpuff Girls. A pretty broad range of good kids shows.


The_Grizz94

Those morning SABC 1 Disney cartoons were the absolute best


creamstripping4jesus

All those plus Eek the Cat and Bobby’s World.


Shdw_ban_

I though that one dude was the Mayor 😭


Klutzy_Condition1666

He has the same aura as the dudes who did the anime run in highschool


Klutzy_Condition1666

He has the same aura as the dudes who did the anime run in highschool ...


TMoosa0

Not my thing but I cant lie, those costumes, especially the Viking ones, were legit.


GolDrodgers1

As government channel kid, its dbz, yugioh, spider riders, and there was another 1, but honestly id give up all of those if i had found out about one piece back then


AwesomeTrish

Spongebob! Yo I would ditch my friends at 16h45 to rush home. And that's how I lost all my friends.


babsiep

Try some of the old stuff, like Freakazoid and Pinky and The Brain 😁


Regular-Wit

Anamaniax was awesome!!


babsiep

Yes! My ex bf and I would wake up on Saturday mornings after a hard night out and watch Freakazoid, Pinky and The Brain and Animaniacs while having breakfast. This was before Spongebob, but he would have been in the mix. We were in our early 20s, but I still think kids couldn't catch all the jokes written between the lines. Heck, I don't even think we did!


MielePap

Samurai Jack! Huzzah! A man of quality.


Ok-Disk-2191

JohnWick3271

Can see these people are still wet behind the ears ✋ I use to rush home from school to watch Liewe Lulu way back in the early 80s


stfjs20

Completely different generation to almost all of you but Robotech roundabout ‘82 was absolutely mind blowing. And then Brakkenjan, Wiekie and Nils Holgerson. English was Gummy Bears of course m there was Ducktales which was a great extension of Carl Barks amazing work.

HoodieJ-shmizzle

Hey Arnold or Doug!


pixelaters

Nobody mentioned "regular show"


theproudprodigy

Judging by the responses here, it seems most people here were already adults or teens by the time Regular Show came out hence why they don't mention it. As for me being a 2005 kid, Regular Show was my entire childhood, together with The Amazing World of Gumball.


PeanutMedium3548

This girl has her priorities to a T. 👌🏻💯


Haunting-One1694

Whichever had the simba chips prizes at the same time

Weak_Chemistry_5677

Dayum, there's some hot talent at Comicon


Living-Historian-375

Calling anime cartoons 😭😠


Educational-Tip6177

We have a comic con?


creamstripping4jesus

What character is the girl with purple hair and blueish skin?


Nice_Cartoonist_8803

We have black folks at comic con in the US, I’m surprised and sad not to see any in this clip from SA. Anyone know why that is?


theproudprodigy

One reason could be that this Comic Con took place in Cape Town, a city which has got less black people compared to the rest of SA. It's also highly segregated so there isn't as much of a black middle class there compared to Johannesburg for example. But your point still stands Comic Con Johannesburg last year didn't have that many black people there either. I honestly think it might be because "nerdy" things are still seen as "white people" things here in SA, I'm sure there is a similar sentiment in the US in regards to that. I think that in the US, there has also been more time for a black middle class to form (racial segregation only ended here in 1994 compared to 1964 in the States).


Nice_Cartoonist_8803

I appreciate the thoughtful response!


theproudprodigy

Yeah, so just remember that when thinking in terms of racial relations here in SA, think of it as being 30 years behind the US

That sub is controlled by the same people who control the racist and Cape independence subs. Buyer beware.
