    Johnny Bravo’s one of those rare cartoons where you got raw, condensed toxic masculinity in a character - and the entire show he’s just the punching bag and none of us batted an eye because we just immediately accepted that his behavior was dickish and every woman was justified in kicking his ass.

      I didn’t have cable growing up, so I associate Johnny Bravo with vacations. Would watch it every time we were back in the hotel.

      I wonder if it would even work today.

      For one, he’s basically doing an Elvis impression, which was fairly dated even in the 90s. Lol

        If growing up with Simpsons taught me anything is that you need to get the reference to like the material.

    One of my favorite episodes is the one where Johnny thinks time has stopped for everyone but him.
