I don't know. I watch and enjoy Phineas and Ferb, and I'm considerably older than 20.

Pokemon is a special sort of crap though. It's very, very low quality.

YABU Disclaimer: I'm 27 still play Pokemon and various other video games I'm stupidly excited that as I will be having DC2 in 4 weeks that I will be able to watch Pocoyo again. There aren't age limits on this sort of thing you know Grin

I love Pokemon. I have a tasteful magikarp tattoo. I'm a 23 year old professional.

Shoot me.

DH watches children's cartoons in the morning, he has done it since I met him 15 years ago and DD is only 1 so its not because of her. Not sure which ones though as I can't bear to be in the room with them.

He's 40 this year.

Don't assume your DP is going to grow out of it!

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 25/03/2013 16:41

YABU for thinking anyone is too old.....at 20!!!

I am 41 and I love some stuff DS watches (esp Good Luck Charlie) and still love the old disney films.

YouTheCat · 25/03/2013 16:42

I'm 43. I sometimes play Pokemon games on the DS.

Is this the confessional thread? Grin

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 25/03/2013 16:43

Are you kidding?

I love cartoons and I'm nearly 40!

RubixCube · 25/03/2013 17:58

Yabu.I love watching kids cartoons from my childhood.Yesterday me and my dd watched Rainbowbrite Grin

RubixCube · 25/03/2013 18:00

Oh and i'm nearly 28

girlwiththedragon · 25/03/2013 18:10

The Regular Show is comedy gold - Pops is one of the most hilarious and loveable characters (cartoon or not cartoon).......ever.

GreenEggsAndNichts · 25/03/2013 18:18

"It's in HD" hah!

I love cartoons. Pokemon isn't on my list, but I can't point fingers. I own a box set of Thundercats DVDs. Wink

StinkyElfCheese · 25/03/2013 18:24

My 7 yr old DD LOVES pokemon can name/sort and can tell you all their special attacks ... she even has a 'lifesize' bulbasaur...

My 4yr old Dts are also keen on pokemon and each have their favorite, phinias and ferb is also very popular in this house... i have also caught my dad watching it on v+ .... on his own , he said it was so he knew what the kids where talking about i am not so sure ;)

BoneyBackJefferson · 25/03/2013 18:44

GreenEggsAndNichts

There is a new version of thundercats.

Titsalinabumsquash · 25/03/2013 18:48

I chuffing love Pokemon, I've persuaded the kids that its the best thing going, I also like spongebob and Phineas and Ferb, I'm 26, so shoot me. Smile

PeachActiviaMinge · 25/03/2013 18:49

DO NOT WATCH THE NEW VERSION OF THUNDERCATS!

Its awful DH gets the rage over it Grin

WorriedMummy73 · 25/03/2013 18:50

The new version of Thundercats made me want to scratch my eyes out! It's like the new Transformers cartoons - leave them alone. They're fantastic as they are.

I still love Dungeons and Dragons - I would go to that world and fight evil with Dungeon Master in a heartbeat!

DinglebertWangledack · 25/03/2013 18:51

YABU my nan is nearly 80 and watches looney tunes every saturday morning still!

ScarletLady02 · 25/03/2013 18:52

The new Thundercats is terrible...

I love cartoons, especially retro ones, I'm 29. DH is 35 and is right there with me.

The current one I like is Batman The Brave And The Bold - it's so trippy Grin

ConfusedPixie · 25/03/2013 18:54

Yabu! Though if you babbage to get him off if it please share your secret, can't get dp to watch adventure time for the life of me! I watch sailor moon (in japanese) though, so can't complain ;)

StuntGirl · 25/03/2013 18:56

We are currently working our way through Phineas and Ferb on Netflix. YABU.

Pigsmummy · 25/03/2013 18:56

I like MickeyMouse Club house, I am 38

WorriedMummy73 · 25/03/2013 18:57

Phineas and Ferb is brilliant - we quite often sing the theme tune in the car! DP just rolls his eyes. 'Doofenschmitz is in a bucket!'.

sunshine401 · 25/03/2013 18:59

lol my DH is 45 and watches it so i guess if your bf is to old he is off the chart Grin

BoneyBackJefferson · 25/03/2013 19:00
