I fully get furries and gays being into him, but really, were any kids actually into Snagglepuss when his show was airing? Maybe they tolerated him as the only cartoon on while watching for the other HB guys' segments, but I cannot imagine some kid in the 60s being hyped to watch Snagglepuss.

There was a Cartoon Network Election in 2000 where the viewers voted for their favorite characters and Snagglepuss placed dead last.

>Scooby has a large drawing asking kids to vote for him
>Of course kids are going to vote for the most prominent character who is the only one asking to vote for him
>Scooby is in the fucking logo
The game was rigged from the start

>How the hell did Snagglepuss fall below Michigan J. Frog? He doesn’t do anything!
Almost like real life politicians.

Cartoon Network in the late '90s/early 2000s was on a completely different level creatively. Not just the shows but the bumpers and everything. It had a really irreverent and hip style that Nick and especially Disney couldn't match and the people involved in the network seemed to have the freedom to just do really creative stuff like Toonami's music videos, the Best Place for Cartoons bumpers, Night of the Living Doo or the Scooby-Doo Project and whatnot.

2nd highest and highest animal HB character is still crazy. Was Augie in anything post Yogi's Gang or whatever?
Batman I guess is due to him not being in any movies in that time and BTAS ended a year prior with Justice League wouldn't be out for another so he just was in a brief lapse in culture.

>Despite Scooby-Doo emerging as the victor, when the gimmick was done again in 2004, its commercials stated Ed from Ed, Edd n Eddy as the current "president". It was suggested that Scooby-Doo resigned before the 2004 campaign.
Scooby Doo Watergate?

I agree! Snagglepuss is VERY cute!

I grew up in the 80's, and while Snagglepuss wasn't my favorite, I was about as fond of him as any other HB character. His flamboyance made him stand out a bit, which is important since HB cartoons were all so similar.

I mean, I grew up in the 80's, so they were re-runs, but Snagglepuss was among the Hanna Barbera crew that I could tolerate. I preferred Top Cat, though. And no, I'm not Mexican.

Same here, but also in that time frame, we had the remixes, like Laff-a-Lympics and Yo Yogi! (remember those?), and they all featured Snag as one of the main characters, so I think he's more popular than the average person might think. I think the HB cartoons I watched the most were :
Yogi Bear
Grape Ape
Snagglepuss
Pixie Dixie & Mr. Jinx
Huckleberry Hound
Captain Caveman
Though, to be fair, I watched a LOT of TV as a kid.

I remember having a nightmare about Jabberjaw when I was little. He was chasing me, Shaggy, and Scooby in that endless way that HB is known for, except that instead of being his regular colors, he was covered in shifting psychedelic patterns, he was swimming through the air, and he was slowly gaining on us. Finally, we turned a corner, and I looked back, only to find that he had bitten Shaggy and Scooby, and they were now also covered in psychedelic patterns, and with a horrific look on their faces, they all started chasing me. I woke up just before they got me. Note: I was too young to have seen a zombie movie at the time, so that couldn't have inspired it.

Robot hemherroids. Famously first passed from the Decepticon leader, Megatron, to his fuckboy, Megaman. The scourge of this disease is the only reason humanity survived Judgement day and didn't get turned into Matrix batteries. So, we give thanks to those hemherroids by intoning Snagglepuss' favorite saying.

(but for a serious answer, it was an expression used by Bert Lahr, the guy who played the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, whose vocal mannerisms are what inspired Snagglepuss' character. The meaning of the saying is just an expression of dismay, like Heavens to Betsy!, except that Lahr randomly used the surname 'Murgatroyd' instead of Betsy.)

I felt outraged more from how they picked someone nobody cares about as they maybe felt like they could do whatever they wanted, knowing that no one would get angry (the kind of people you mention don't count). The gall to do that because they wouldn't aim higher.

That's an interesting assumption, but by the same logic, if they don't have the budget to draw the blood vessels and nervous system, shouldn't everyone be dead?
Not trying to oppose the idea of a soft tongue, I just think there are easier explanations. Just have him say he had tongue thhurgery. De-barbification, evennn!

> My tongue, rough?
>Heavens to murgatroyd, there ain't nothing rough about me. I'll be gentle like, real gentle. Like a newborn kitten suckling his mother even. I'll let you squeeze my soft hips as you give me a one, and a two! Then I'll clean you off like a kid looking for the center of a tootsie pop. I'm harmless, like real tame, bottom of the bottoms, and a tight one too!
>Let me be your little stage hand, or mouth or rump. I've been practicing my oral delivery, and I'm ready to swallow your gratitude. And cuddle afterwards even.
