We all lost the game.

I've been cowering behind a mountain of whisky all week. What's this business?

>>34612904
sports award show on cartoon network. These are kids who attended.

>>34612904
CN creates a big budget stinker award show that flopped last year and for some reason they thought it wouldn't flop this time again.

>>34612904
It's CN sports award show it was decent last year since it had Gumball and AT previews and air the episode of RS with naked pops this year produced depressed children,

inb4 CN execs delete this thread again.

>>34612934
Needs to have

Only the Dead can know Peace from this Evil.

It the wiki edit still up that was hilarious.

>>34612998
no, it was taken down

>>34613028
But it was funny

I feel sorry for everyone that had to be involved with this.

>>34613278
Because they're young girls and their insecurity makes it so they conform to whatever their friends are doing.

why did they even wrangle together all these obligatory black kids if they were going to surround them with blond girls and white boys who can't comb their hair? It's like if Himler had decided that the SS needed some racial diversity.

So after this flop what's next?
Is CN going to finally admit that live action isn't working, or is that too much to hope for?

Mfw Annoying orange is an up coming series, I remember days when it was just a stupid web series. And Fred is becoming a show too. WTFISHAPPENING.JPG

>Nearly doubling its kids 6-11 audience vs. last year’s program, the second annual Cartoon Network Hall of Game Awards telecast (Monday, Feb. 20, 7-8:30p.m. ET/PT) out-paced last year’s targeted kids and boys delivery by considerable double digits, according to Nielsen Media Research. Hosted by basketball legend and TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O’Neal, the celebrity-studded sports award and entertainment event, taped Saturday, Feb. 18 in Los Angeles, charted dramatic year-over-year improvement among kids and boys ages 2-11, 6-11 and 9-14, ranging between 55% and 92%. Total viewership also grew by a remarkable 74% vs. last year’s program—2.6 million viewers ages 2+. Also worth noting, fans cast more than 100 million votes for their favorites at HallofGame.com, easily surpassing last year’s 37 million votes.

any further progress on the bored kid collage?

ing-175513950.html

>>34613497
notice how none of these kids are over weight or unattractive in any way.

If Cartoon Network wasn't trying to be less of a cartoon network, would it be possible for them to air the annie awards instead of that sports award show?

>>34613367
I think it's still way too much to hope for. The best we CAN hope for is that Stu Snyder will get drunk and gamble away his ownership to someone who's actually not a fucking retard.

>>34613546
Well....over weight.

>>34613609
you kidding me? there's at least three fat kids in that image

Shit, this did better than last year guys. We don't know if all the money spent on it justified the "just pretty good," ratings, but this definitely will encourage Stuart Snyder to gleefully greenlight a show for next year, furthering his plans to eventually get rid of those damned cartoons he hates so much. So he can one day Duplicate disney channel and somehow, miraculously become more successful than them by doing what they do, which they have a head start on by a few years.

Go for the gold, Snyder, your plan is TOTALLY sound.

>>34613655
I was talking about the attractive comment.

>>34613725
How well do those fucking terrible live action sitcoms on Disney and Nick fair anyway?

>>34613497
>that guy with long hair and glasses
This is way to mainstream for him.

>>34613784
MUCH better than CN's cartoons.
However it's beginning to appear that's more an issue with the network since CN's live action shows are marked for death within weeks of airing.

>>34613725
Also Generator Rex, Clone Wars, AT, Gumball and RS are being canceled for more Level Up and a few tween sitcoms

>>34613784
Very well it puts to shame all live action crap that CN tried to air.

>>34613784
To put it in simple terms, Fred the Show and Radio Rebel both beat this years HoG by an extra million views. So even CN's live action fails by comparison, though you can't ignore the ratings growth HoG had. Also Level Up hit a new low with its HoG after party episode, so CNReal as a whole isn't succeeding, just the films and HoG.

>>34613725
He doesn't hate cartoons, making cartoons is expensive.

>>34613439
>100 million
>34 million
I'm very sure that not many people voted. I think CN is lying about the statsitics to appear all that money fo =r the award show didn't go to waste. No one really cares about the show and it's just a way to have their own Kids Choice awards and get out of that cartoon dedicated ideal they are know for so they can be like Disney Channel and nick. They don't get after all these years the can't really go that way because no one tunes in CN for that. So they can't have a cheap Hannah Montana or iCarly that gets a lot of viewers. Though they are more expensive, highest rated shows on CN are all cartoons. The would save a lot more money not trying to make sloppy live-action show and constantly advertising them which almost all have failed.
WHY CAN'T THEY GET THIS THOUGH THIER SKULLS?

>>34613846
The reason why HoG had that many votes is because, like KCA, they allow kids to vote again and again, thus the big vote numbers.

>>34613570
Did it ever air on TV?

oh god, this is too rich. i can't breathe. this is so sad! my god,cartoon network!

>>34613863
I still doubt that even 30 million voted let alone care so much that had to vote a bunch of times for nominees

The only good thing that came out of this show is Jennette McCurdy's ass.

>>34613366
I dont know know why, but I laughed.

Let me point out the programs CN air that are succeeding currently.
HoG
Adventure Time
Regular Show
MAD
Ninjago
Gumball
Clone Wars
Ben 10
And the Flicks(Both Live Action and animated, especially if its Dreamworks which will probably be the reason the HTTYD series will really succeed.)
Everything else is either average(Level Up) or failing straight out(Generator Rex, SMFA, Problem Solverz). Don't be surprised the ones listed above will last long on the network.

>>34614016
LEGO had to buy Generator Rex's timeslots and have constant marathons for their shitty show. it's not succeeding, but it's not going away, either.

>>34614081
Lego is okay. Just recently one character was revealed to be a android.

>>34614016
didnt Rex just get cancelled?
also how are YJs ratings?

>>34613816
I suppose it's like working without a union in some places.
It's cheaper to fire someone who has worked for you for a while and hire a new guy than it would to give the old guy a bonus.

>>34613839
I am saddened by the fact that every terrible show I have seen on nick and disney does well enough to merit its own existence.
It seems only teen pregnancies can kill those kinds of shows.

>>34613843
...
How do so many shit shows keep getting green lit?
Does Snyder have dead bodies on both the boards he supposedly has to report to?

>>34614108
>actually watching Ninjago

Die in a fire

>>34614163
Hey my cousin watch likes the show.

>>34614182
what...? Sorry, but I just need clarification.
Does your cousin watch the show (like out of boredom when nothing good is on TV and you watch whatever is on anyway) or does your cousin like the show?

Or is your cousin named watch?

>>34613845
That's why he hates them

>>34614251
My cousin likes the show.

>>34614182
>>34614251
No no, his cousin IS a watch.

He is alway on time.

>>34614016
>People are actually watching Gumball along with CN's shitty live action programs
ihavelostfaithinallhumanity.png

It's funny to see this compared to their late-night lineup with actually worthwhile shows like Tim and Eric and Cowboy Bebop. Too bad we've got stupid people running CN with the mindset that new shit is automatically good because it's new and LOLSORANDUM.

If Batman: TAS, Justice League, the Pokémon Kanto series or anything on Boomerang's lineup started airing on CN again, I'd tune in in a heartbeat.

>>34614277
Does that also mean he makes faces at all hours of the day?

>>34614314

>Gumball is shitty
>Tim and Eric is worthwhile

Oh, hey Bizarro.

Or should I say goodbye?

>>34614314
>worthwhile shows like Tim and Eric

>making cartoons is expensive.
I guess that's why CN is just picking up terrible shit off the internet, rather than funding another cartoon pilot thinktank. That, or they are once again trying to ride Nick's coattails after the success of Fred.

>>34614340
both of those shows are shitty.

>>34614142
>How do so many shit shows keep getting green lit?
Remember when I said that CNReal as a whole isn't succeeding, just the films and HoG? The film side includes Scooby Doo: Curse of the Lake Monster, and that got 5 Million views and actually beat Nick and Disney in the ratings front. That's why CNReal is still a thing, even though none of them were or will ever be successful as Scooby Doo's live action run.

>>34614350
>rather than funding another cartoon pilot thinktank
Funny you mention that, because it's rumored that CN is doing another one of those. But to save money, they're greenlighting shows based on how well the animatic goes, rather then funding a full pilot(unless the animatic goes well but needs further testing)

>>34614382
I thought that movie was mediocre at best...

Maybe people's taste have been so degraded by having to constantly eat shit, that shit resulting from something that was once good (broken down and digested with all the beneficial substances removed) tastes a little less like shit.

>>34614417
but they might not even bother if the annoying orange is successful, since it would prove they can just use crappy webtoons as pilots for series

>>34614163

Hey, now.
I'd STILL watch Ninjago over ANY Disney/Nick live-action sitcom. No regrets.

>>34614506

For what its worth, when the Orange was on the HoG, the crowd didn't respond.

No laughs, no cheers, just dead eyes.

>>34614509
Ninjago is surprisingly not that bad. I actually feel kinda bad for it being tied to the lego aesthetic, it could do better.

>>34614610
Not to mention how every episode feels like a plug for the next playset.
Yup.....Vampire Snake Wrecking Ball out next week.

Hmm, I have a question for you /co.

What is worse, this, or the VGA?

Luckily I didn't have the former streamed to me. The VGA made me vomit.

>>34614552
wait, you watched it?

>>34614654
This.
VGA gives you trailer.

>>34614552
Reading that made me chuckle
I got to see this for myself, is there a link to it?

>>34614654
whats VGA?

>>34614672

No, I'm basing that off comments I read while it was airing.

>>34614711
Spike video game awards.
Its more about "FUCK YEAH CAWWADOODY" and trailers than appreciating games.
Mark hamill and tara strong were pissed that VA nominees weren't mentioned and the winner wasn't televised.

Its really only good for new trailers.

>>34614759
>Spike video game awards.
>implying it was an awards show

it was just commercials padded with advertisements and then in the last 5 minutes they handed out a bunch of crappy statues

>>34614654
I'd say this is worse because they apparently can't go full sports, so it's constantly interrupted by random cartoon shit and irrelevant guests

>>34614654
The VGAs or the /v/GAs?

What truly makes me mad about the success of Disney's live action and CNReal is just the fact that it shows kids don't have imagination anymore, or their parents won't let them. Everything has to be based in the real world, because that's the best they'll ever get, and they'll never understand why it's okay to just laugh at a talking bird and racoon.

And what the hell is up with action shows failing? I thought, if anything, this generation of boys who will be emasculated to all hell would WANT something awesome and manly in their lives.

>>34614552
Actually I heard chuckles in the crowd during the Orange bit, but they laughed more at Mordecai and Rigby's bits, even if their HoG bits were corny as hell.

>>34614893
I don't know what the kids want anymore?

What will our generation do?

Wasn't the premise of TA Orange that he time travels with his friends?

>>34614893
they're too afraid that liking manly things will make them homos.

Also, shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show were considered big risks by the executives despite doing so well.
You'd think that would be proof enough for them that taking chances on cartoons pays off better than playing it safe with some cheaply made live action garbage that gets cancelled in 1 or 2 seasons at best.

When the fuck are they going to air this where I live?
