The Final FOFC Draft: Cartoon Character Draft - Page 6

Tigercat · 02-10-2004, 12:05 PM

With our fourth pick we select:

Casper The Friendly Ghost
2'0"
0lbs
.01 40(hes a ghost for gods sakes!)
NFL comparison: Dwight Freeny

Positives:Another guy with great notoriety over multiple generations. Was VERY popular a generation to a generation and a half ago. Still going strong. Inspired a fairly successful move(or two?) not too long ago.
Negatives:A bit undersized. Perhaps a good thing though, as its impossible to block a guy that weighs nothing, unless you have the cartoon ghostbusters on your OLine.
Summary:Would be a terror as a speed rushing DE meant to bring fear in the QB's eyes. May have to work on the "friendly" part.

For those of you keeping track, this gives us four characters with the article "The" in their full cartoon names.

How I lasted until the 3rd round, I'll never know. Beefcake...BEEFCAKE!!!!

Poli · 02-10-2004, 07:22 PM

Guys, I'll be off FOFC from Friday until likely Tuesday. I'm going to pull out, and whoever responds first can have my spot.

This is, of course, unless Easy Mac has a different idea.

Every team needs, a villian. Especially one of the most inept villians of all time! Not only did he control an army, but he got his ass kicked every week by basically 5 guys.

Cobra Commander

The bule hooded CC was way better than the helmet one IMO. He may be the worst army leader of all time, but man was he cool

PsychoCop · 02-11-2004, 07:27 PM

k0ruptr · 02-11-2004, 10:36 PM

AE selects one of the most underrated cartoon characters of all time!
and hey, if he doesnt like it. he can pick for me.

Top Cat

Inspired by hit '50s TV comedy series The Phil Silvers Show (1955-1959) and the exploits of Ernest Bilko and his workshy motor-pool platoon, Hanna Barbera's Top Cat premiered in 1961 and ran for 30 episodes.

It remains one of the studios most enduring creations...

Top Cat - TC to his close friends - is the sharp talking leader of a merry bunch of Manhattan alley cats: Fancy Fancy, Spook, Benny, Brain and Choo Choo.

I think it's time for me to go back old school. The future counterpart of 1st round pick Fred Flintstone: George Jetson.

SI

kingfc22 · 02-12-2004, 01:22 AM

Was hoping George would fall a little more. Nice pick.

PsychoCop · 02-12-2004, 05:34 AM

After drafting a hardcore 80's toon icon, and 2 Japanese Toon Legends, I think that it's about time I drafted some money-makers.

For the final pick of the 4th round, I select Genie from Disney's Aladdin... one of the Top-5 highest grossing animated films ever ($217.3 million)....and voiced by none other than Robin Williams.

For the first pick of the 5th round, I select Simba from Disney's The Lion King... the highest grossing animated film ever ($312.8 million).

With a combined taking of over $500 mil and millions more due to merchandising, and subsequent series', these two are lucky to have fallen this late in the draft.

sterlingice · 02-12-2004, 03:04 PM

It's my favorite comic (tho Jim Davis should have hung it up a while ago): Garfield! Sure, the largest body of Garfield work is in comics, but he had a long lived cartoon on CBS (7 seasons I believe) as well as 7 cartoon specials like the classic Christmas and Halloween specials. Not only that but he was voiced by the man with the awesome name and the even more awesome voice, Lorenzo Music (c'mon, you can't tell me that name doesn't just roll off the tongue: Lorenzooooo Muuuuusiiiic!). Garfield got quite a few endorsements in the early-mid 90s and those are the direct result of his voice work. Lots of great reoccuring gags like the Klotzman diamond, Binky the clown, and there's even an episode with the official title of "The Creature That Lived in the Refrigerator Behind the Mayonaisse, Next to the Ketchup, and to the Left of the Coleslaw." Plus, the show was better at metahumor than, I even hesitate to say, the Simpsons.

I know who my next two are, but it looks like I have quite a bit of time to wait and likely they will leave the board

But, even as a little of a reach, I had to have the lethargic cat on my team.

SI

Suicane75 · 02-12-2004, 03:09 PM

This is getting hard, There are many modern guys I want to take but I need some classic characters if Im gonna win a vote so Im gonna go hybrid and draft, from Scooby Doo, Shaggy.

Tigercat · 02-12-2004, 09:36 PM

Bump, k0ruptor, you're up.

k0ruptr · 02-12-2004, 10:02 PM

oh crap sorry guys. gimme a few mins

Superman

TredWel · 02-13-2004, 06:03 PM

I grew up watching Get Smart on Nick-at-Nite reruns, so it's only natural that I gravitate to this 80's character:

Inspector Gadget

Gimme that bundle of bouncy joy,

TIGGER

The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber.
Their bottoms are made out of spring.
Their bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy
Full of fun fun fun.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers is:
I'mmmmmmmmm the only one!

TigerCat is up, with oykib picking @3:30.

Tigercat · 02-15-2004, 03:35 PM

With our fifth pick we select:

The Shredder (from teenage mutant ninja turtles)
6'2"
220lbs
4.5 40
NFL Comparison: Ray Lewis

Positives: How has all characters from TMNT lasted this long? Its insane! I could argue, that perhaps outside of say spongebob squarpants today, TMNT enjoyed the most popular and successfull run of any cartoon since the 70s. Think about the toys, think about the three movies, think about the network battles over the cartoon rights! All of it was unprecedented. Sure it began as a comic book, but it got ALL of its popularity through the cartoon. Shredder is a key part of the cartoon. There are four turtles, so you can't really pick one of them as most important. Splinter is great, but he isn't involved enough to pick. While Shredder, is just the main badass bad guy. Oh yea, and I believe there is a new TMNT cartoon today.
Negatives: Like popeye, substance abuse could be a problem. Although Super Shredder would make one hell of a lineman.
Conclusion: Gives us a very good bad guy to add to our lineup. Hard hitting no nonsense safety perhaps?

Easy Mac · 02-15-2004, 03:43 PM

Danny · 02-15-2004, 03:44 PM

No way does he run a 4.5, he'd be lucky to hit 5.0.

Thats his 40 without his shredder pads on. Besides, the mans in better shape than some NFL guys that supposedly run 4.5s, so I think its a pretty good estimate. Now his foot soldiers, those guys would be lucky to hit 5.0. They are the slowest most unathletic cast of teamates. All the most reason to vote Shredder, hes a one man team!

Danny · 02-15-2004, 05:32 PM

I dont know... Anyone who gets screwed over by four fat turtles and an old stoned rat can't be that good
