As midterms draw in and ruin everyone’s lives, Bwog staff writer Gabrielle Kloppers is here with some more procrastination for you. Don’t you wish you could go back to your childhood, before you discovered Contemporary Civilizations readings and Calculus exams? With Bwog’s cartoon playlist, you can.
- Watch all of Over the Garden Wall. You can never regret this decision. Also Bwog finds this one mildly scary, so it’s perfect for inviting Bae over for Halloween-style Netflix and Chill. http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/over-the-garden-wall/episodes/season-1.html
- The old classic, Adventure Time. Make like a baked frat boy and watch this while eating pizza and wishing you had a dog as cute as Jake.
- The best episode in this writer’s opinion is What Was Missing (S03 E10). The music is fantastic and may distract you from remembering dates for your history class. http://www.toonova.com/adventure-time-season-3-episode-10
- Courage the Cowardly Dog will prevent you from sleeping by appealing to the immense fear you had during your childhood. Maybe when you’re awake, scared and shivering you can study for your midterms? Probably not. This is especially appropriate given the Halloween chills in the air and the insane decorations you’ll see at Morton Williams during your nightly Hot Pocket run.
- Remind yourself you’re just a puppet of the patriarchy with S01 E13, both parts. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bthxh_courage-the-cowardly-dog-1132-the-great-fusilli_fun
- Calm down from Courage with some Regular Show and get away from the hustle and bustle of New York City with a show set in a park.
- Slightly less calming is S04 E01, otherwise titled Exit 9B. It’s probably the best Regular Show episode of all time. http://www.toonova.com/regular-show-season-4-episode-1
- Pretend Pops is your grandpa with S03 E09, titled ‘Rap it Up’. Then try to organize a rap battle. http://www.toonova.com/regular-show-season-3-episode-9
- Try and feel out the existentialist overtones in Rick and Morty in order to study for first year Philosophy. Fail, but watch a few seasons anyway.
- The best introductory episode to Rick and Morty has got to be S02 E01, A Rickle in Time. http://www.toonova.com/rick-and-morty-season-2-episode-1
- BoJack Horseman will definitely aid your procrastination attempts.
- Downer Ending, S02 E11 will definitely remind you that you’re an English major. BoJack is available on Netflix.
- Remind yourself that those gender-studies classes at Barnard are sorely needed to combat the rampant misogyny you’ll see in Johnny Bravo. Then laugh because it’s kind of funny and maybe ironic?
- Bravo Dooby Doo (S01 E03) melds some childhood favourites together and reminds you of a time before this hell we call Academia. http://www.toonova.com/johnny-bravo-episode-3
- Steven Universe
- S01E01, Cookie Cat: Steven learns how to use his powers by eating ice cream. This wonderful episode will get you hooked on the show. So be careful, as once you start watching, it’ll be hard to stop. http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe/Episode-001-002?id=14232
- Guitar dead teaches you guitar, making you miss your guitar dad (S01E47) http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe/Episode-047?id=45952
- c) S02E02 is particularly important. The message of ‘Joy Ride’ is that you should give yourself a break sometimes, which is exactly what we need to tell ourselves during midterms. http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe-Season-02/Episode-002?id=48057
- Bob’s Burgers is everyone’s favorite show and is conveniently on Netflix!
- Bwog recommends S03 E15, The Outside Toilet: a beautiful story of a boy and his toilet
- We Bare Bears:
- Chloe (S01 E04), where a college student does a presentation on bears. It’s arguably the best presentation ever created. http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/We-Bare-Bears/Episode-4?id=61956
- Ranger Tables (S02E05) is like your favorite cop show (Brooklyn 99?), except it’s about bears. http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/We-Bare-Bears-Season-2/Episode-5?id=69536
