I believe Magilla Gorilla’s forced residence in the window of Mr Peeble’s shop would raise concerns from animal rights advocates.
Speedy Gonzalez’s offensiveness hardly needs explanation and jokes made at the expense of Elmer Fudd’s speech impediment wouldn’t fly these days.
Virtually all of these early cartoon shows had a degree of impropriety when viewed retrospectively through a contemporary lense. .
My faves are Bob’s Burgers and the first decade or so of the Simpsons. My kids like those too, but didn’t watch them when they were babies.
So many of the old cartoons are sexist and racist. I liked Bugs Bunny back in the day. Really I would watch pretty much anything that was animated.
I did like the School House Rock.
Loved the SIMPSONS!
I don’t even know….if you turn on network or other “regularly scheduled” tv today in 2022, are there cartoons??
Hearing parents talk about watching The Simpsons when you were kids is making me feel old, lol.
Hard to believe that show has been on for over 30 years.
Some of the old school cartoons are shown on Metv (station is available over the air).
Catcherinthetoast - oh, I totally get you weren’t endorsing the behavior!
The mention of Pepe just rang a memory bell of how squeamish I felt as a young child watching his aggressive, relentless pursuit of the frightened-looking cat! I didn’t know enough to know why I didn’t like it - I just did!
I needed that! Laughed out loud.
“Felix the Cat,” especially where archvillain Master Cylinder makes an appearance.
Felix the Cat sparked a memory - haven’t thought of that one in a long time! Not sure if I loved it, but I remembered it. And Felix reminds me of another… Casper The Friendly Ghost! Who can sing the song?! 
We rescued a dog that was “named” Casper. Quickly changed it because all I could think of was “The Friendly Ghost”!
And Felix reminds me of another… Casper The Friendly Ghost! Who can sing the song?!
Me!
Something I came across: Chuck Jones, who was the creator of The Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote, had these basic rules for his cartoons:
1. The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going “meep, meep.”
2. No outside force can harm the Coyote – only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. Trains and trucks were the exception from time to time.
3. The Coyote could stop anytime – if he were not a fanatic.
4. No dialogue ever, except “meep, meep” and yowling in pain.
5. The Road Runner must stay on the road – for no other reason than that he’s a roadrunner.
6. All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters – the southwest American desert.
7. All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.
8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote’s greatest enemy.
9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
10. The audience’s sympathy must remain with the Coyote.
11. The Coyote is not allowed to catch or eat the Road Runner.
If only I had known😀
True that…it would have taken away from all the suspense!
Seriously, though, I distinctly remember one of the original Road Runner cartoons where, at the end, they both “clock out” of their jobs in chasing/humiliating the other and at least Wile Y. Coyote spoke.
If true, so much for Coleridge’s “willing suspension of disbelief.” 
You may be confusing it with this short:
I think that’s it…
So that’s NOT Wile Y. Coyote? Deceptive as hell, if you ask me!
Not being able to distinguish between a sheep dog and road runner… In the words of our President; “come on man”!
I was referring to this faker named “Ralph Wolf,” who is clearly Wile Y. Coyote!
And I thought the original “Spiderman” cartoons were bad at re-cycling scenes!
The reference to The Road Runner is solely attributable to a failing memory decades after I saw the short.
The decades long mystery is solved!
Wile E. Coyote
And no, different characters. Ralph is a wolf, not a coyote.
