| Inspired by disgustip8ed's cartoon post, I'm curious; How many Cartoon's can you remember that were Rip-Off's and bad copies of other cartoons?
The two most obvious
The Car Voltron
The Go-Bots
(And yes this post by its very nature is a bad copy/rip off)

| I think you need to differentiate between rip-offs & copies as opposed to parodies or satires. Terrance & Phillip are parodies of Beavis & Butthead and the other shock value cartoons kids watch. It's not a rip-off, it's a mocking.
I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands |

The Go-Bots
Go-Bots actually predated Transformers. They did suck, though...
And, not really a ripoff, but how about Ren & Stimpy after John K. left? Nick took the best cartoon of the time, and made a total mockery of it. Awful!

| The Thundercats was sort of a rip-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
For some reason I always felt like the Snorks was the Smurfs underwater.

While they looked alike, Iron Giant was actually a book written in the 50's about the cold war, and pre-dates Gigantor.
I don't know if these count here, (or if they are more like jump the sharks)
Scrappy Doo
