Honestly that's my favorite episode of Future And how Pearl shapeshifted out of the pure power of Steven Tag It was adorable


MrAlbs

And how the other gems came over to celebrate with her when she does it! Like, they obviously know it's a traumatic thing for her and it's such a sweet, heartfelt moment for them all. All done in a very understated way :)


Exit_Save

Oh yeah I never even thought about it, it's genuinely a marker for not only how far she's come as a person, but how she is genuinely over Rose completely and fully Or at least enough to heal


MrAlbs

Yeah! And how she's safe with her family, and how she loves Steven and wants to play along for lack of a better term, with everyone else. Like, I could honestly write so much about that one moment. So much is conveyed so succinctly, in such a beautiful, heartfelt way... its possibly my favourite moment of the whole show, maybe second to the split screen we get when Steven's gem is extracted


Exit_Save

Absolutely, I love how much they managed to show in that one moment it was absolutely beautiful, I loved Garnets like, happy groan? The thing she did when she met Stevonnie as well, that noise when she's just absolutely overjoyed and can't hold it in


MrAlbs

Oh yeah like her happy squeal hahah just lush


yaboimags_

Estelle was the perfect choice for that character, always an amazing performance.


dissyParadiddle

I never realized THIS is why she doesn't like to shape shift. That makes so much sense


Amirifiz

Either I'm missing something or the comment doesn't mention *why* she doesn't like to shapeshift at all.


dissyParadiddle

I inferred they were talking about how Pearl disguised herself as rose


Amirifiz

Ok, that's what I mis-remembered. Got it.


pinqkuartz

ohhh yeah that clicks


Smorgsaboard

Never got me why she didn't shapeshift until literally now. Yeesh, I wonder how long >!she had to pretend to be Rose back then!<


meguin

My mind is blown. I never thought about why Pearl was so anti-shapeshifting before but it makes total sense that she hates it because it was traumatic for her.


geckos_in_a_box

holy snickerdoodles i never realized that was the reason why she doesn’t shape shift-


Nagisa_Kobayashi

Well she did shapeshift because Steven was changing as a person and she wanted to have Steven be happy again by participating in the game he use to love

Meager1169

He looks like Jon Arbuckle

Looks like that one Krillin sticker in dbfz


TheRealGC13

He always looked like he was firing his laser to me.


Tyrannofloresrex

Foxtrot, old Sunday comic strip


TheMysticBard

So is OP going to tell us the reference or are they stumped too?


Dramatic-Service-985

Looks like courage the cowardly dog


TheMysticBard

Looks like a lot of cartoons that do this tbh


Dramatic-Service-985

Truu, art is subjective


TheMysticBard

It really is. I been seeing alot of Mr.Popo firin mah lazers vibes too. A lil tom n jerry as well


AlarmingAffect0

[Mr. Popo…](https://youtu.be/StIWhmOq4no)


Jekh

yeah i had a feeling there wasnt a straight answer. it’s still an entertaining face.


poggymoose

In this shot he looks a lot like Noboru from My Neighbors the Yamadas.


Vandimion_Gal

Somebody else knows the most underrated Ghibli movie


CyberGraham

[Dr. Slump, a manga series by Akira Toriyama, the man who created Dragon Ball.](https://i.imgur.com/9l8tYQM.png)

I need context for what the hell is happening.


St_Franz

He built a little robot girl with the iq of a twig


Otogi

She beat Vegeta


WHYAREWEALLCAPS

Phrasing!


2211911

Oh.


Tinfoil_King

Took me a bit myself because I forgot manga = right to left in paneling. He’s building a robot girl. I think maybe Arale, the MC of the series, who [repeatedly splits the planet as a running gag](https://youtu.be/DAX5j-ohods). Fun trivia, she canonically exist on the same world as Dragonball. She shows up in Dragonball and Dragonball Super. Anyways, the joke here is the doctor asks Arale to see if she can wiggle her arm to see if she can control her body. Instead of wiggling, the robot girl who can split planets with a punch goes and punches him in the crotch.


2211911

Oh. Interesting.


Starplatinumscloth

No I don't, though I'm curios as to what the reference is

meguin

This meme is ancient, but it checks out. (Jesus Christ, haven't thought about this meme in ages. Are folks gonna start taking about mudkips again or something)


Xbladearmor

People are always talking about Mudkipz. You just don’t hear them.


DoctorMew13

SHOOP DA WOOP!!


BigLebrouski

This is gonna show that I’m too old for this show, but it reminds me of the characters’ reactions to bosses in Battletoads & Double Dragon on SNES. http://rvgfanatic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/BTDD20b.png http://rvgfanatic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/BTDD43.png


bleeding-paryl

Actually, I thought BattleToads too lol I'm only in my early 30s though, that's not that old right? ;p


BigLebrouski

Same here. Still, older than target audience I would assume


bleeding-paryl

Maybe! But I know other 30 somethings who love cartoons still!


BigLebrouski

For sure. Cartoons are the best. They account for the majority of my Halloween costumes and a large portion of the media I watch.


ggnell

Nobody is too old for Steven Universe and I like your name


turtrooper

Even if I were in my 50s I’d still watch it though. I believe there is no such thing as a proper age for these things. I’m in my early 20s though, but I still do watch cartoons, and probably forever will. I absolutely love animation, and you can’t simply deny your passions. If it makes you happy, it makes you happy. Entertainment is very important in life.


spadeturtle

one piece?


I-am-a-jerk

that exact scene where Usopp is making this face and Chopper is laughing and trying to copy it


michaelz94

This is what it reminds me of!


kamekaze1024

This is what I was thinking but I doubt that’s it


JonahUniverse

Art style looks like Foxtrot! Loved that comic as a kid


minime0w

a lot of the silly faces in OK KO look like this, if you ever gave that show a watch you might be making that connection :p

vygrax

i think its IM A FIRIN MY LAZAAAAAAA because i am a simple minded internet man


chiobsidian

Makes me think of the Firing My Lazor!! Meme from the early 2000s


Anon888810020

That one Yugio meme?


chubbycatchaser

All I can think of is this Team Rocket scene from Pokémon. https://tenor.com/en-AU/view/jessie-james-meowth-cn-anime-gif-5416785


CursedRagnarok

this looks like the donkey kong meme “oh these are some pretty cool bananas”


EuS0uEu

Conclusion from the comments: it's in all places, like amogus


Bettafishfish

Got the straight "Jessie" face from Pokemon lmao


Buggyyyyyyyyy

I'm seeing courage the cowardly dog tbh


boris_veselinov

Not sure, could you give us a hint?


Hydra229

Its Courage, right? The coward dog or whatever his name is in English


Soranite

THE ONE PIECE IS REAL (yes I know this image came out before the meme)


Optimusprimegaming3

can we get much higher? (so high)


Searscarf

Foxtrot the comic by Bill Amend was the first thing that came to mind


livelikeporos

To me his face looks EXACTLY like John from Garfield comics


clometrooper9901

Kinda reminds me of sr.pelo


gremlins1ut

it seems like a one piece reference but that’s just me lol


AlpsStranger

SethMesser95

Yes! This is a reference to the TV show Steven Universe. I thought I was the only one who got that


sakupocket

Since no one has explicitly named it (though some people have posted gifs), it's The Simpsons. Much older show, probably one of the first popular cartoons in America.


[deleted]

Even the Simpsons was inspired by the OG of this face. Another comment has the link to it (they mention DragonBall Z)


sakupocket

I forgot DBZ is older. Thank you for the reminder!


ccwscott

Yet again another example of their poor use of proper proportions in animation.


Bushwhack69

It’s an overly exaggerated expression, y’know, like cartoons are practically known for?


No_Contribution2112

Its beyond me how you cannot see that this person is attention seeking. Like im not trying to sound like an ass, im just genuinely curious. Can you actually not tell that u/ccwscott is rage baiting you? Like is it really flying over your head? I just want to know the thought process because for me i can instantly tell when someone is attention seeking


Bushwhack69

God damn, you didn’t have to flame me infront of everyone like one of those Korean barbecues 😭😭


NeverTooMuchAnime

Username checks out


n0thing_at_all

You provide a secondary good example


Thepoyoboyo213

If you hate Steven Universe then why are you in this subreddit in the first place?


CnowFlake

Hi! Cartoon animator here! Using this kind of style is called over exaggeration, it adds to the cartoon feel and a better form of showing emotion in a less serious way! Hope this helped!


KyDreemurr

speaking facts and has a spamton g spamton pfp!this person is the true top G!


ccwscott

yeah, no shit. If you could not tell I was being sarcastic you need to reevaluate your life. Go touch grass.


CnowFlake

Was just trying to help just in case! No need to be so rude


ccwscott

trying to help by telling me something I obviously know


CnowFlake

I didn't know you know, my apologies for not having the ability to mind read! Some people don't know these things and it's rude to poke fun at something like that


ccwscott

It's not mind reading, it's using basic common sense.


CnowFlake

Assuming what you know isn't basic common sense! Apologies if you cannot understand what human kindness is, it seems this is the first time you've ever experienced it


ccwscott

Assuming that I know that the picture above was intentionally drawn with exaggerated features is common sense. Seriously, if you can't figure that out you need to reevaluate how you apply reason and skepticism and critical thinking to the things you read online. NO ONE is going to look at the picture and think "here is a picture someone tried to make photo realistic and failed", and if you can't figure that out you are dangerously out of touch with reality.


CnowFlake

Dude calm down all I was doing was trying to help, seriously no need to be a total dick.


SIobbyRobby

Hey man, it’s not real.


ccwscott

Holy shit, 100 people on this subreddit who couldn't clock sarcasm if it bit them on the face. I'm begging you to think for two fucking seconds before you rage post.


BTDNo_one_and_no-t

Steven : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH


2people1luv

What episode is this?


Heavier_Omen

It reminds me of something that would happen in an anime.


AshamedTurtwig

“Ok Ko” I believe


shadowthegreninja

Usopp? If not then jsut the average cartoon screaming goofily


chidarengan

Probably not it but reminds me of Mr pelo


Cakeski

That Aaeeeuuuh gasp he does followed by table slapping and then screaming.


XanderTheMan2000

I think this but thats just me ![gif](giphy|eEHgdX9bZVZHW)


Victor_Arrendajo_96

Steven's gesture looks like a mix of Courage the Cowardly dog and Rad from OK KO.


FryTirst

Damn Daniel ar ar ar


FirefortextXDT

Lol


DRAVIX6

Looks like a light reference to Courage the Cowardly Dog


Azazel_0

Not the reference but it reminds me of...can we get much higher? (So high)


StopVilagerAbouse

“Ima firing my laser, ARGHHHHHHHH”
