10 Female 80s Cartoons That Ushered Us Into Manhood



Throughout the history of TV, cartoons have always been able to get away with a little more than their live action counterparts. That insulating shield of paint and ink seems to give the creators license to stretch, and sometimes to downright goatse, our notions of decency. The first show on TV to show a young boy spewing diarrhea onto his mother’s face was South Park, and there’s a reason for that. It just wouldn’t work on The Drew Carey Show, not even during their April Fool’s Day special. It’s the same reason the Road Runner cartoons of the 60’s sold so much better than actual footage of coyotes getting mangled to death.

Enter the late 80’s. It was a tender time in a young boy’s life. Our bodies were changing in strange, unsettling ways, and our parents, as usual, had failed us at every turn. Luckily, Television was there to do their job for them. Inside that glowing box we found a bounty of fictional vixen, drawn to exacting specifications and designed to fill us with feelings we wouldn’t understand until years later, when we spent the night at the house of the kid whose parents had the Spice Channel.

10. Gadget from Chip N’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers

The Show: A group of rodents living in the park solve major crimes throughout the city, and believe it or not, you’re not huffing glue. Well, maybe you are, but the show was real, and Chip wore an awesome bomber jacket.

The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Gadget Hackwrench was a brilliant inventor, pilot, and mechanic who also happened to be a field mouse. A field mouse that seemed to have fashioned a tiny auburn wig out of locks of human hair, and whose ability to turn discarded soda cans into airplanes put MacGyver to shame.

Perks:

  • Look at her tiny little aviator goggles! They’re adorable!
  • She’s probably the only female on this list who would have found our 11-year-old junk imponderably huge.
  • There’s no telling what she can do with that tail of hers.
  • Bummers:

  • Both Chip and Dale expressed romantic interest in Gadget throughout the series, so it’s not like you’re without competition. And as she’s accustomed to seeing them without pants on, they’ve got a fairly substantive head start.
  • Monterey Jack seemed fairly protective of Gadget, although a well-placed slice of cheese or large boot could probably take care of him.
  • As an inventor, you can assume Gadget’s created devices that can pleasure her far more thoroughly and efficiently than you or I will ever be capable of.
  • Yes, it’s still bestiality.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “Chip and Dale aren’t the only ones who are going to be storing nuts in their mouth.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): According to the show’s Wikipedia entry, Chip was modeled after Indiana Jones and Dale after Magnum, P.I. How’d you like to be the meat in a Harrison Ford and Tom Selleck sandwich?

    9. April from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    The Show: TMNT introduced us to a giant ninja rat, a man-sized alligator, a clan of feet, a guy who was a brain inside a jar inside another guy, and all other manner of mutated horror we had no way of understanding. But God bless us, we begged our parents to buy it all anyway.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: April O’Neil, fiery reporter for Channel 6 news and one of the turtles’ only human friends. She was also one of the only female characters who wasn’t some kind of hideous monster, so that helped.

    Perks:

  • April’s best guy friends are sewer-dwelling animal men who talk, act, and think like preteen boys. If they challenge you to a fight, you’re fucked, but as long as you can keep things based on physical appearance or general odor, it’s a lock.
  • She’s the only reporter in the world who insists on wearing a low cut yellow jumpsuit at all times. Kinky.
  • According to her official bio, her main weakness is “extremely ticklish feet.” Double kinky!
  • Bummers:

  • As a career woman, April is more concerned with getting the story than finding love. You’re in very real danger of becoming a one night stand. Are you ready for that kind of heartbreak?
  • She associates closely with mutants, has traveled through the dimensions, and been covered in numerous kinds of ooze. I guess what I’m saying is–use protection.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “I’d like to bebop her rocksteady! Krangggggg!”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): Look, I don’t want to cast aspersions on my female readers. So I say, if curiosity got the better of you and you wanted to be quad-teamed by turtles named after Renaissance painters…hey, who am I to judge?

    8. Cover Girl from G.I. Joe

    The Show: The least realistic, but most effective Army recruitment video ever made, G.I. Joe taught us about the inherent goodness of American values and the inherent evil of foreigners and people with lisps.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Cover Girl, like most of the Joes, was named after her occupational specialty. Once a supermodel, Cover left the sexist world of high fashion behind to get grunted at by a bunch of testosterone-fueled, sweaty guys who haven’t had sex for two years.

    Perks:

  • A supermodel whose action figure came packaged with a Wolverine Tank? You had me at “hello.”
  • If a firefight ever breaks out while you’re on a date, there’s a good chance she’d pull a grenade launcher out of her purse and handle it.
  • Nothing makes for a good lay like a woman who scares the hell out of you. For example, take any woman I’ve ever had sex with.
  • Bummers:

  • You’d probably have to bulk up considerably before she could look at you naked without laughing.
  • According to her Wikipedia entry, she’s had relationships with Duke, Clutch, Shipwreck and Thunder. What chance does a “Gerald” have?
  • I heard her tits are grenades.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “I know she’s breezy and beautiful, here’s hoping she’s easy.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): Pretty much the whole rest of the show. Go nuts, ladies.

    7. Cheetara from Thundercats

    The Show: Take some Superman mythology, the Herculoids milieu, some He-Man mentality and a bunch of cats, and you’re halfway there. The other half involves a demonic mummy god, yeti knights, robo-bears and a heaping helping of Snarf.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Cheetara, the only adult female Thundercat, served as the outlet for our pubescent needs. The fact that she was often depicted wielding a staff that grew when she held it didn’t hurt either.

    Perks:

  • She can run up to 120 miles per hour, so she can answer a booty call almost instantaneously.
  • Her commander is Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, who had the mind of a young boy, but was trapped within the body of a man. It’s like they know us!
  • She had a sixth sense that alerted her of impending danger, but left her in a state of dazed helplessness for days or weeks. Now, I’m not encouraging you to take sexual advantage of a passed out cartoon lady, I’m just saying I’m counting this as a “perk.”
  • Bummers:

  • Those big black spots on her skin look like they might be malignant.
  • Two words: Cat tongue.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “Thunder-, Thunder-, Thundercat BLOOOOOOOOOW me!”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): Lion-O’s the obvious choice, but with that whole “mind of a child” thing, you might be getting a call from CPS. I’d stick to Snarf, the lovable comic relief. Hey, he may not be a looker, but he’ll make you laugh! That’s what women want, right? Dear God, please tell me that’s what women want.

    6. Tarra from The Herculoids

    The Show: During the prehistoric phase of life on the distant planet Quasar (not to be confused with an actual quasar), a family of humanoids must battle every day for their fragile lives, their only aids a dragon that shoots lasers, rhino that shoots boulders, immense radioactive ape, and two sentient beanbag chairs.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Tarra was the matriarch of the caveman family, and while her crude smock of a dress was a little more concealing that Wilma Flintstone’s, at least her hair wasn’t a cubist bun. Plus she wore shoes (I always imagine Wilma’s feet as scabborous, misshapen lumps. Just me?).

    Perks:

  • Despite being prehistoric, in several episodes she pilots sophisticated interstellar spacecraft (crash landed aliens were quite common on Quasar). Mensa, anyone?
  • She’s got a gem on her forehead, which means she’s Indian or something. I hear they’re real submissive.
  • She was a dead aim with her slingshot, so she’s used to handling tiny balls (just me?)
  • Bummers:

  • Most of the men she hangs around (that radioactive ape I mentioned, for example) have wangs like Louisville sluggers, so she might have some skewed perceptions of size.
  • You’d probably have to make awkward conversation with Gloop and Gleep while you waited for her to get ready for a date.
  • She’s got a kid. Downer, dude.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “Forget Tundro, baby, you can fire my energy rocks anytime.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): While Tarra’s busy with us, you’re welcome to give her husband Zandar a try. He’s your basic He-Man clone, so there’s plenty of fun to be had. Be warned though: Zok likes to watch.

    5. Smurfette from The Smurfs

    The Show: A French cartoon about little blue people who live in mushroom houses, have a nearly one-word vocabulary, and do…actually I’m not sure what they do. Harvest things? Make shoes? They’re blue. I think I said that already. Moving on.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Smurfette got our attention for two reasons: One, because she was the only female smurf and two, because all the other smurfs vied for her affections with a ferocity that led us to believe she had a magic vagina. Although if there was only one vagina within a hundred miles, I guess that’d be magic enough.

    Perks:

  • She’s not nearly as stuck up as those goddamned snorks.
  • She used to have black, bristly hair until Papa Smurf remade her as a blonde bombshell with pumps on. I’m guessing the old bastard could make any number of further “enhancements” if given the right encouragement. Maybe a sack of gold, or…what, jam? Nuts? Man, I really don’t know a lot about smurfs.
  • It’s well within your power to literally crush every other man she knows.
  • Bummers:

  • Again, size would be an issue. Maybe if you teamed her up with Gadget you could get something going.
  • In the cartoon, Smurfette was originally a golem made by evil wizard Gargamel out of blue clay, sugar, spice, crocodile tears, half a pack of lies, the chatter of a magpie, and a stone for her heart. You know, women.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “I’d like to smurf the smurf out of her smurf with my dick.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): I’d have to go with Hefty Smurf, the jock of smurf village. He takes care of his body, sports some wicked heart tats, and is widely acknowledged as having a smurf like a jackhammer.

    4 and 3. Daphne and Velma from Scooby Doo

    The Show: A group of kids who should be in College are instead tooling around the country in a van (occasionally with the Harlem Globe Trotters or Marx Brothers) in an attempt to eat giant sandwiches and prove that monsters are really just old men in masks.

    The Objects Of Our Misguided Affection: Daphne was the looker of the group, and Velma was the brains, incisive wit, and heart. Also, Velma’s breasts were much larger. Between them, they represented the perfect woman (which is to say, a good-looking girl with large breasts).

    Perks:

  • There’s two of them, so if you strike out with Daphne, you can always go for Velma (you know she’s got self-esteem issues, too).
  • A threesome with them would be pretty much the only context in which it’s okay for you to yell “Jinkies!” upon orgasm.
  • They have a talking dog. This doesn’t have anything to do with their sexual attractiveness; it’s just an 11-year-old’s ultimate fantasy.
  • Bummers:

  • You’d constantly have to deal with ghosts and monsters who turn out to be petty criminals committing elaborate fraud. I’d imagine that would get tiresome after a while, especially when the gang always falls for it initially no matter how many times they’ve proven that ghosts don’t exist.
  • Really? A van? Even kids don’t find that cool anymore.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    Insert Scooby Snack reference here.

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): Fred, the all-American 60’s surfer dude with the white sweater and bizarre fetish for ascots. He’s aggressive, leaderly, and the only real option besides a talking dog and the skeeziest motherfucker you’ve ever laid eyes on.

    2. Wonder Woman from Super Friends

    The Show: A group of superheroes who are also best friends gather for weekly parties and to politely pretend like Superman couldn’t do everything himself. This tree fort-like scenario also attracted two bumbling teens and their dog, whose presence is never fully explained. I think they may have been auxiliary Robins Batman was hanging on to just in case.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Wonder Woman was a goddess who came from a race of Amazons as an ambassador to man’s world. In order to establish a precedent of proud femininity, she flounced around in a corset and flew by squatting in an invisible plane above people’s heads.

    Perks:

  • There’s something perversely erotic about bedding someone who represents all the pride of womanhood. It’s kind of like sleeping with Susan B. Anthony. In a word, HOT.
  • Her powers include super durability and endurance. That will be a great match for your 18-second sexual hangtime.
  • She insists on wearing the tiara, boots and armlets in bed.
  • Bummers:

  • That lasso of truth could be dangerous, especially considering the fact that Wonder Woman is easily capable of ripping you into two bloody boy-chunks.
  • As an immortal goddess descended from a race of divine beings, she’s probably all entitled and shit.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “The only thing I wonder about that woman is whether she’ll let me have sex with her.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): Batman. Batman Batman Batman. In fact, this is the only entry on this list where I’m kind of more attracted to the subsidiary recommendation than the primary one. After all, Wonder Woman’s just a beautiful goddess from beyond the stars. Batman is Batman.

    1. Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

    The Show: Okay, it’s actually a movie, but it did come out in the 80’s. And when it did, it represented not just the pinnacle of sexy cartoon ladies, but their uncomfortable emergence into the world of actual eroticism. I’m pretty sure there were just as many dads sweating to frames of Jessica as there were kids wondering why they were no longer concerned about the dangers of cooties at all.

    The Object Of Our Misguided Affection: Jessica Rabbit, a cartoon character so arousing she gets visible rises out of several of the film’s live action characters. What’s more, she did it all without ever changing her clothes and with what appear to be two amphibious slits where her nose should be.

    Perks:

  • She’s the only woman on this list who publicly states that the only thing she wants from a man is a sense of humor. A sense of humor, for reference, is the human quality of appreciating and creating comedy, as in the sentence: “That humor writer Michael Swaim sure has a sense of humor.” I’ll be waiting, Jessica.
  • She could wear my wristwatch as a belt, yet her bust would give my elastic muumuu a run for its money. Because as we all know, there’s nothing sexier than a woman who’s so thin that she’s essentially deformed.
  • Bummers:

  • She’s not just married, but happily married to a cartoon knock-off of Bugs Bunny. Judging from the film, there’s not a lot of hope of breaking them up either. At least, not without obtaining some dip, and I’m pretty sure Christopher Lloyd used the last of it to power the Delorian at the end of Back to the Future III.
  • The Crude, Misinformed Euphemism We Used To Express Our Lust:

    “Jessica Rabbit, please have sex with me.”

    The Internet Fallout:

    Something For The Ladies (Or Budding Homosexuals): To my mind, Eddie Valiant is the clear choice. He may not have the spontaneity or physical elasticity of Roger, or the tall, dark and handsome qualities of Judge Doom, but he does have one thing going for him that they don’t: a real, live, honest to goodness penis. And that puts him well ahead of every other man on this list. Here’s to you, Eddie.


    When not examining the details of his own perversions, Michael serves as head writer for and co-founder of Those Aren’t Muskets!

    1. Kelly Riley Says:

      ROFL!!!! I remember Gadget, Daphne, Velma and of course Jessica Rabbit. (Hard to believe that Daphne and Velma are still out there and active though… there was a new Scooby Doo animated film relased this past halloween, I checked it out, it was lame.)

      I’m surprised however that the Chippettes from Alvin and The Chipmunks didn’t make it on here. I mean, I would watch that with my bro and he seemed to REALLY like them!

      As usual keep up the good work!

    2. Bakeshow Says:

      Between them, they represented the perfect woman (which is to say, a good-looking girl with large breasts).

      Hilarious, it’s damn near impossible to argue with Jessica Rabbit as the #1, even if you don’t like gingers. On the other hand, I was always more into the Baroness than Cover Girl in G.I. Joe, and what about Disney, the movies I recall the most were in the Early 90’s I believe but the 80’s movies and Disney in general seemed to think of an ideal woman’s physique much in the same way Jessica Rabbit’s creators envisioned her. Either way Jessica Rabbit is at the top of the fantastical cartoon spank bank……oh shit, did I just say that out loud.

    3. Zander Fontaine Says:

      Seriously, the other four or so guys are totally right–Where’s Jem?! Hell, fuck Jem, let’s talk about baby sis Kimber or that damn hologram!

    4. Why am I reading this? I'm a girl. Says:

      Huuuur duuur, for all of you guys that said sailor moon (and especially the guy that made the specific list of references that people were wrong about) Sailor Moon was all from the 90s. Hell, the States didn’t even get the anime on PBS until like 1996.

      Also Michael…really? You couldn’t have mentioned Casey Jones as “for the ladies” for TMNT?

    5. Sandro Says:

      Anime chicks are deliberately done sexed up, even young ones. Also, they all have the exact same face that is ruled by the anime style, so it is less of a pick of “who is cuter” and more of “who’se haircut I like more”.

      Also, notice how he only post “Too Confusing” over a few of the pics. That’s because the internet is… well… Too Confusing. Look up “futanari”, then thank me. Oh, wait. That’s not it. Then hate me. That’s it.

      That said, one about the 90ies cartoons should be in order. Though I fear there’s MUCH more options there to pin down, not to mention much more animations. Also, maybe Swain was too old for the 90ies stuff… (Even though I don’t consider you’re ever “too old” to watch cartoons).

    6. Pallas Says:

      Alrighty then, that was, er, interesting. I’m pretty sure it was satirical….Disturbing, but the humor came accross well. Cartoons have, and still do set the basic standards in young children—unfortunately, and it only gets worse. Luckily we have Danny Phantom and Code Lyoko.

    7. Dizzy Says:

      Protip: To get a better idea of the pros and cons of these fine female specimens, head to deviantart.com and look them up.

      Oh, and register on the site to see the “better” ones.

    8. DrHuxtable Says:

      One thing they forgot to mention about Gadget was the constant cameltoe she walked around showing due to the tight cut of her jumpsuit. This alone catapults her to #1 in my book, as it was at the time the closest thing I had seen to a vagina.

    9. HM Says:

      The Original Ghostbusters movie just came out when most of these shows were on, the spinoffs didn’t come for years.

      I agree with this list. April was really my fave cuz I was a huge ninja turtles fan and as Michael Put it “Double Kinky”.

    10. Ben Says:

      Jeaneane from “The Real Ghostbusters” isn’t on here. WTF?

    11. imnotthatstupid Says:

      20 years from now, there will be a list written here that i can relate to…..

    12. DAMU Says:

      “OLD FRNDS ARE GOLD”… “NEW FRNDS ARE DIAMONDS”… IF YOU GET DIAMOND DON’T FORGET THE GOLD. BCOZ 2 HOLD A DIMOND YOU NEED A BASE OF GOLD… SO DON’T FORGET OLD FRND.

    13. Hubcap Says:

      Yeah, you probably should have had some from the Masters of the Universe. Plus, it’s been suggested that Velma is a lesbian.

    14. Eric Says:

      @Uptoolate: where did you hear that Roger is Bugs’ son?

    15. Uptoolate Says:

      Roger Rabbit is bugs bunnies son, so yeah they’d be similar

    16. Luigifan Says:

      How about video game women next? I’d like to nominate Lara Croft (duh) and more than half the girls from the Sonic series (Amy, Rouge, Sally, and Fiona come to mind. Okay, those last two are from the comics, but still…)

    17. DaveGee Says:

      Okay, is that middle picture of the smurfette a photoshop of Mariah Carey? If so, good work. lol

    18. loqutor Says:

      I agree with Viper. Wonder Woman may be hot, but she’s got nothing on anime chicks.

    19. viper Says:

      It’s funny, cause I used to have a huge crush on Gadget when I was a kid and Jessica Rabit. Jessica Biel looked hot as HELL playing her on SNL not too long ago.

      But you want to talk hot chicks, you should do one of these for Japanese Anime chicks. They blow these girls outta the water.

    20. AJV14 Says:

      Okay… These chicks are hot, but it’ll take more than that to give me a rock hard ********. I’ll take Raven from Teen Titans anyday.

      Check out the link….

      Sure wish I could be that guy.

      http://www.karbolab.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/1-raven-assfucked.jpg

    21. TOAST Says:

      Jessica rabbit gives me a raging hard smurf

    22. She Ra love Says:

      She Ra was way hotter than Tarra! Not only was she hot, she was, rich, rode a flying horse, and could kick your ass! The huge sword is a little intimidating, but I thought you liked that sort of thing Swaim.

    23. The Faceless Says:

      Eh, I was always more of an anime guy… XD Pretty funny list though. Rule 34 is still in effect.

    24. tblop Says:

      lol@ bugs bunny in drag!

    25. Undercover Noid Says:

      Love it, love everything about it. I had me more than a few laughs reading this thing, and as a HUGE fan of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” I was very pleased to see old Jess in the number one spot. Now it’s just a matter of someone coming up with a list of the hottest animated girls of the 00’s, just so that I can confirm that I’m not the only one with a huge thing for Raven from “Teen Titans”.

    26. Feather Says:

      I love you, Michael Swaim. I want to have your babies.

    27. sugarwafers Says:

      as a female, I must say I’d pick shaggy over fred. because fred is a douche and probably gay with his gay ascot. also, I’ve always liked the tall skinny scruffy look. so there.

    28. cx2i3 Says:

      Hey, hey, hey!
      Dude.
      Seriously.
      Where’s Rainbow Brite?!

    29. celebrity Says:

      Thankyou for the post. Good to be here….! Great Job !!

    30. Rednax Says:

      A good list that would have been great if you had chosen the Baroness and Evil-Lyn over Gadget and Cover Girl. I question if you ever watched G.I. Joe. How did you miss the Baroness!?

    31. drea Says:

      As a girl, and a fan of scooby doo, i’d go for Shaggy rather than Fred. Shaggy’s funnier and loves animals

      BTW i kinda look like Velma xD

    32. JamesRiot Says:

      Cover Girl? COVER GIRL?! She wasn’t even IN the cartoon, like, EVER. Where’s Scarlett? Where’s The Baroness?! How could you pass up a sexy, black leather catsuit-wearing Russian GODDESS for a character that was, maybe, in the cartoon once. In the background. I call shenanigans.

      Also, Herculoids? Not 80’s. The Herculoids was a show in the late 60’s. You guys are almost 20 years off target there.

      I’d swap out Smurfette (what the hell is wrong with you people?) for Teela or Evil-Lyn from He-Man. Hell, even Steelheart from Silverhawks would be a better choice!

    33. Sage Freehaven Says:

      Mmmmm, Gadget Hackwrench.

    34. Owner of a Lonely B.A.T. Says:

      How did you miss Jem?

      Those legs that body, I still compare real women to her…none have come close.

    35. Filthy Says:

      What a ripoff… You totally messed up on the GI Joe portion!

      The BARONESS was the hottest damned woman on that show, bar NONE! Come on now, the hot-evil-librarian-with-an-assault-rifle-and-HISS-tank thing doesn’t work for you? Check your pulse!

      I was insanely jealous of Destro for a LOOOONG time, so much so I think it caused me to go bald [Ironic, I know!] Now all I have to do is figure out how to chrome-plate my head… But yeah, you blew it on that one. Other than that nice work.

    36. LearnedHand Says:

      Once again, you’ve perfectly summed up the magic (and creepyness) of my long lost ’80’s childhood…Bravo!

    37. Cass Says:

      What about She-Ra?

      http://misslarson.com/walls/tv/she-ra.jpg

    38. Gregorius Says:

      Why has nobody mentioned Arcee from Transformers? I’m sure that someone out there has a robot fetish.

      martin Says:
      “you forgot that girl from cool world”

      1992. Not ’80s.

      MichaelFurlong Says:
      “Eh, what about all the women from the X-men, especially Rogue and Jean”

      Also not ’80s

      EmeraldDragon Says:
      “What happened to Charley Davidson from Biker Mice?”

      Still not ’80s.

      Wren Says:
      “you forgot under Bummers for Wonderwoman that she’s an oversexed lesbian dominatrix.”

      How is that a “bummer”?

      HOOWAH Says:
      “Also, I never understood the sexual infatuation with Gadget. She was cute in her way, and exhibited a lot of attractive traits. I dunno. Maybe I was a weird kid. But show me a human version of Gadget and I’m sold. I’d follow a chick like that around like a lost puppy.”

      That’s the whole idea. We all wished that Gadget was human… and, you know, a real person.

      ranchoth Says:
      “HOOWAH—The human version of Gadget would either be Kari Byron…”

      The girl who hangs with the Mythbusters but never gets to actually build/invent anything? Pfft. If anyone is a real-life Gadget, it’s Lisa Winter, the girl who built Mecha-Tentamoushi for Battlebots.

      Normgarry Says:
      “WHAT ABOUT Jasmine from “Aladdin””

      1992. Sorry.

      Bachalon Says:
      “Lola Bunny, Babs Bunny, Minerva Mink”

      Space Jam, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs are all ’90s.

      Does everyone here suck at math or something?

      fender Says:
      “2. Sailor Moon”

      To hell with that. Mercury is where it’s at! Not only is she a genius, but her short blue hair is TO DIE FOR, and her palmtop displays quotes from Robocop.

      “OMG! people!!! Have we overlooked oober hot Leela from Futurama?!?”

      Futurama was not from the ’80s. In fact, it was only BARELY from the ’90s.

    39. t-boner Says:

      oops…..just saw the “80’s” reference……..but still……….mmmmmmm………Leela…………….Who’s your daddy????

    40. t-boner Says:

      OMG! people!!! Have we overlooked oober hot Leela from Futurama?!?( there’s a one eye monster joke here somewhere…….). And what about Little Mermaid chick??? O.K., granted her lower part might smell a little fishy but she’s cute as hell!!!

      k, gota go now…….just realized what I’ve been ranting about for the past 30 seconds and I feel……………..dirty…….Oy!

    41. Gask Says:

      Too confusing=dickgirl, Smurfette looks like Mariah Carey becuase she is (decent photoshop IT), and they forgot to censor the one to the lefts honey colored snatch

      I’ve been around a while. And so have several of these cartoons I saw in the 60s.

    44. Arestar Says:

      Is it just me, or does that Smurfette in the middle look like Mariah Carey??

    45. Bill Says:

      for anybody who thought the smurfette bit was funny, check out the Robot Chicken take on it - the movie Se7en set in smurf world. Sick and hilarious.

    46. Kris Says:

      So in the minds of Cracked article writers, “too confusing” = vagina? Now I’m confused…

    47. FrodoSaves Says:

      I concur. That’s absolutely Mariah Carey as a smurf.

      Dude, Snarf? Tira and Panthro are where it’s all at!

      That said, I appreciate the Velma love. Daphne may be the more obviously pretty one, but people tend to forget that Velma has big boobs, a miniskirt and a brain, and she’s kinda cute too.

      With THAT said, I’d happily take Shaggy over Fred. The former can be bribed with food and frightened into submission, the other seems to have a rather inflated opinion of himself and considers himself in charge. No choice, man.

      Can I just ask, though, why the hell anyone would look at Jessica Rabbit and think, “You know what she needs? Bigger boobs!”?

    59. Fido1 Says:

      Very nice list! just a few comments.

      Cover girl? It was always Scarlett or Lady J. Baroness was
      not so much though..

      Jem and She-ra?Good choices but how many young teen boys
      would admit to watching what was meant as ‘girl’ cartoons?

      Thundarr’s Princess Arial should have been one..

    60. Sylocat Says:

      Mmm, Gadget, how I used to look forward to Disney Afternoon because of… er… I mean… uh… this is NAUSEATING!!! What kind of SICK PERSON would ever find THIS stuff ATTRACTIVE?!?! I can’t believe anyone could even THINK this way!!!!!!

    61. Dark Says:

      Great article dude. I wasn’t around in the 80’s, so almost all of these are new to me. I’d heard of a few, but I’ve never seem most of the toons… Apart from Scooby Doo of course. That program will never die, no matter how many spin-off series they decide to make out of it.

      Also, to anyone who says “You are wrong and sick, look at real women you freak!”, I’d like to point out that it doesn’t matter what you’re looking at, at the end of the day it’s still your hand. It’s not as if looking at a real woman makes your hand a real woman.

      Let me think of a way of putting it… It’s like when some people dream up their perfect car. They know they’ll never get it, and will have to put up with some shoddy Vauxhall or something, so they dream of something indestructible that goes a thousand miles an hour, and is armed with an insane amound of weaponry and other gadgets that probably don’t exist. Kinda like the Batmobile.

      So, why not think of a woman with beachball tits, if that’s what you’re in to… Tall, short, thin, fat, human, furry… If you’re going to think about a fictional girl (or guy), why not go crazy, give them all the attributes you want, whether those attributes exist or not. Everyone has a fetish. Some are just weirder than others.

      Also, To The Guy Down There Who Types Like This… give your shift-key a break, please.

    65. Lynda Says:

      Do you whippersnappers recall the shocking glitch in the Colecovision video game of Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle? Legend has it that if Rescue Smurf Smurfed far enough out to one side of the screen where Smurfette is trapped up on a shelf in Gargamel’s office, her dress disappeared. I had the 2600 version but DON’T THINK I DIDN’T TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

      *sigh*

      I was eight, she was twelve, and into {eh, whatever you want to call it when your eight!} we did delve. Uh, there weren’t any “toons” then, you couldn’t get hot over Olive Oyl, and Tom Terrific was gay. Yeah, in the fifties, jerks! But all thats changed now, you see, I got to get me some of that booty toons!

      Swaim, this isn’t really the usual ‘boo, you suck you fucking sucker’ sort of criticism you get, but the article sort of slided too far away in the direction that makes me want to spend time alone in a darkened room.

      Goddamn internet fallout.

    113. MSJ Says:

      About Cover Girl, I think she’s the only Joe woman to have her own comic series (the Baroness have her own miniseries too). Too bad she ain’t in the upcoming GI Joe movie.

      And why are you recommending Snarf for the ladies? There’s two other manly males in hat show.

      Another thing, maybe not so much in the 80s cartoon, but April have a boyfriend, Casey Jones in the comics and the new series. Besides, that chick from Biker Mice is hotter (and I think have a sexual tension with one of the mice).

    114. Dan Says:

      As soon as I saw the topic, I knew Jessica Rabbit would be number one. She’s our generation’s Marylin Monroe… which says something really said about our generation.

      But who am I to judge? I’ve probably beat off to Jessica Rabbit more than I’ve had sex with real-life women. Sadder still, I’ve dated women for the exclusive fact that they look like Jessica Rabbit… right down to the red hair and similar waste-to-bust ratio. (Not exact… I’m pretty sure a real woman would die.)

      Also, why do so many of these drawings look like they’re pulled from a BE fetish site?

    115. Icy-Eyes Says:

      I actually know quite a few girls who think Shaggy is adorable. Confusing, yeah.

      I second (or third, or tenth, or whatever it’s up to niow) that the Baroness is *the* GI.Joe chick.

    123. Normgarry Says:

      WHAT ABOUT Jasmine from “Aladdin”

      Diney has constantly drawn absolute sluts in their movies and I thank them so much for that.

    124. Normgarry Says:

      First of all, there is an OLD website you should check out named
      CARTOON GIRLS I WANT TO NAIL

      http:// geocities.com/TelevisionCity/1356/

      Hasn’t been updated but its cool to check out.

      Secondly, I never really felt overly sexual to Cheetarah cause she reminded me too much of my mom. The same goes for Wonder woman. They both bare all, but I’m not feeling it.
      Sort of a reverse oedipus thing.

      My favorite female characters have been from video games. No - not Laura Croft…I like Mileena, Kitana, Jade and gasp…I’d even fuck Sheeva !!!!

      WHAT ABOUT THE BARONESS from GI JOE?
      Baroness has an ass that they haven’t drawn in years !!!!!

      WHAT ABOUT JUDY JETSON? Has no one seen the pics of George nailing Judy? They were AWESOME !

    129. KingBushwick the33rd Says:

      Ah Yes,Velma and Daphne from”Scooby Doo”!!!
      Sure,Daphne Was Most Definitely Babealiscious!!
      But Velma,In Her Nerdiness Woulda Probably Been
      a Lot Better In The sack!!
      Think About It:Every Swingin’Dick Would Follow Daphne To The Toilet Just To Smell Her Pee!!
      Essentially,Daphne Was Paris Hilton Forty Years ago!!
      Velma On The Other Hand Was The Poor Nerdy Girl Who Made The Honor Roll,Yet Never Had a Date To The Homecoming Dance/Prom/etc. and Truth Be Known,Woulda Loved It If Fred Asked Her To Be His Date!!
      Now Whether Fred Was Being a Gentleman or If It Was a Dirty Trick ala Sissy Spacek in”Carrie”,No One Knows!!
      However,Don’t Get Girls Like That Too Riled Up,Else They’ll Cause Havoc at The Prom BFT!!!

      Anyway,Nerdy Girls,If Given Half a Chance Would Jump Your Bones ASAP Given a Chance!!
      Think About Miss Jane Hathaway on The Beverly Hillbillies:
      Sure,Nancy Kulp Was a Lezbo In Real Life;But You Notice How She Was Doing Everything Short of Pulling Jethro’s Pants Down and Givin’Him a BJ!!
      Yet,He Was Too Busy Trying To Make The Sexy Time With The Starlets at Mammoth Studios Who Shot Him Down Like a Patriot Missile in Gulf War I!!!
      If He’d Only Took Her Up On It!!All They Woulda Had To Do Is Lock The Door To Her Office;Hop Up On The Desk;Hike Up Her skirt and Pull Down Her Panty Girdle and Tell Him”Well Doggies!!!Ride Me Like A Buckin’Bronc You Big Dumb Stud!!”.

      Uh, Wren? Those aren’t vaginas…

    133. Yarp Says:

      I had the same idea, Willie. The article was just an excuse for Swaim to post the pictures.

      And definitely the chick from Goof Troop. Although an underage dog is a little weird, she still gave/gives me a boner.

    134. HOOWAH Says:

      Rachel Nichols and Sienna Miller are to play Scarlett and Baroness, respectively, in some GI Joe movie to be released whenever.

      Also, I never understood the sexual infatuation with Gadget. She was cute in her way, and exhibited a lot of attractive traits. I dunno. Maybe I was a weird kid. But show me a human version of Gadget and I’m sold. I’d follow a chick like that around like a lost puppy. :p

    135. miraclemidgit Says:

      Wren: since when is being an oversexed lesbian dominatrix a bummer?

    136. Wren Says:

      I love how you found all the direct pics of vaginas ‘too confusing’.

      And you forgot under Bummers for Wonderwoman that she’s an oversexed lesbian dominatrix. In fact, I think there was a reference to that in a Cracked article a ways back.

    137. Morganite Says:

      I was with you on everything… except for Gadget. It kind of made a bezoar form in my stomach, Dude, to counteract the poison that is unmistakeably copulating inside your DNA. And when your angry, mouse-lusting cells generate enough pre-cum, I mean, electromagnetic energy to affect all who are reading your brain, I then realized I needed to shield my soul from that tiny coital darkness.

      And yes, Velma does have big tits. Considering she got reductive surgery in elementary school, that is no small feat.

    138. Dan Says:

      Outstanding! But where’s Minerva Mink? (oh right, 80’s, I forgot.)

    139. skippy05 Says:

      I was wondering why Linka, Gi and Dr. Blight from Captain Planet weren’t here, but Wikipedia informs me that it actually started in 1990, so fair enough.

      I do find the inclusion of anthropomorphic animals and Smurfette weird and disturbing though.

      Great job, Mr. Swaim, very funny.

      “It’s ok to yell Jinkies” made me laugh so hard I peed a little!

      Keep up the great work.

    151. Willie Everstop Says:

      Why do I get the feeling Swaim was surfing for cartoon poon when he suddenly came up with a great idea for an article?

    152. Darth H8ter Says:

      Baroness from C.O.B.R.A. was by far the hottest on the show.

    153. Darth H8ter Says:

      No Ariel from Thundarr the Barbarian?

    154. noirakita Says:

      I’d love to see an actual full article like this, written by a female writer (you do have those here at Cracked, don’t you?), with our male cartoon crushes…but thanks for thinking of us, Michael.

      Raphael was always my favorite Turtle…but I don’t remember ever lusting after him…

      If you went into 90’s cartoons I always had the hots for Wakko Warner from Animaniacs.

      Yes I’m strange. That’s why I’m here.

      Still, if it’s animated characters I’m after it’s more in the Anime and videogames that have the hotties.

      I agree. Poop. Word.

    166. The Prowler Says:

      Sir Unimaginative, they’re very probably censoring out the dicks that have supposedly been drawn onto these beautiful cartoon women. So I do believe that it is YOU who is new to the internet

    167. Brian Says:

      So i vaguely remember this one episode of Thundercats where there were clones of all of them. And so Cheetara had to fight her clone. I think that was probably the origin of my catfight fantasies.

      Michealangelo from the TMNT was my childhood non-existant crush. Orange is über-sexy.

    171. Martok Says:

      tex,

      The hot chick for Thundarr the Barbarian was Princess Ariel. You can see that I referenced her lack of inclusion way down in the comments.

      I think its safe to say that alot of names were missed here (Tela, Evilin, almost every female from Jem, and even Rainbow Brite [there was just something about her, you know?]), but still a great article. Maybe a part 2 is in order.

      Gotta agree with Nimrod and tj. Baroness all the way.

    176. luckylostie Says:

      When I was a kid, I used to watch Pokemon with my little brother. He had a crush on Misty (yes, the slutty preteen redhead), and I was all up on James (yes, the whiney blue-haired idiot who’s always getting beaten into submission by his partner in crime).

      What does that say about me? I don’t want to know.

    179. Niczka Says:

      Well, at first I was going to ask why NONE of the many, many females of “Jem” were included on this list! (And believe me, there were many.) You missed a perfect oppurtunity to wonder if the carpet really matched the drapes when the drapes were in such wild colours as pink, blue, green, purple, and in one case pink and yellow and orange and teal all at once!

      All was forgiven, however, with the inclusion of Jessica Rabbit, the toon that first made me question my sexuality. Have mercy!

    180. Matches Says:

      You go with Covergirl not Scarlet? Now granted Scarlet is dating the most badass ninja ever, but come on, she’s still way hotter than covergirl!

      O.k. maybe not way hotter, but she’s strill pretty hot, it’s not like we’re talking about Lady J here, and Scarlett’s got the better back story.

      And hey, where’s She-Ra? Where’s Tela? Where’s Evilin! Come on, you put gadget and smurfette on here, but not Evilin! Did you know she’s evil? Evil chicks are always super freaky, just ask Batman.

    181. ? Says:

      wtf? fat april

    182. Kate Says:

      As a female, my choice of Thundercats would be Tigro, because he has brains and somehow the 40-50s man-charme which is lacked by George Clooney entirely.

      Alas, as a teenage girl I was all about Lion-O because I liked Lions and well…. MUSCLES.

    183. Nick Says:

      Swaim, you “forgot” to censor Smurfette’s bush.Guess there’s nothing too confusing about that.

    184. Sir Unimaginative Says:

      Maggie said:
      “1) Why are vaginas “too confusing” for you?”

      You’re new to the Internet, aren’t you.

    185. tex Says:

      Great article. Missing, though, was Teela, He-man’s unitard-clad girlfriend..? Sister? Also, anybody know the name of the hot chick in Thundar The Barbarian’s gang? She was sooooo hot when I was, um, like, 5.

    186. Yan Says:

      @Maggie: too confusing for his 11-year-old self, is what I think Swaim meant. But these are pictures he found on the internet, so there’s really no certainty that those are vaginas under there.

    187. Sir Fortesque Says:

      Oh… all the merchandise that had to be harmed (raped) for the making of this article. Your my hero Swaim.
      This article finally makes me understand Japanese fetishes. I mean, look at the cartoons they’re raised on.
      Swaim you are indeed one of natures geniuses. You may hump fluffy dolls, but you have made a breakthrough in sexology and understanding the Japaneseology.

    188. greengoddess Says:

      I know this isn’t 80s, but my cartoon hottie was Derek Wildstar from Star Blazers (I can still sing the theme songs — both to and from Iscandar thank you).

      And the Shaggy line cracked me up, too. But mostly because Mr. Greengoddess looks like a cross between Shaggy and Gladstone.

      Also, I am Wonder Woman.

    189. schickfu Says:

      With all of the He-Man references in this article, you failed to include my childhood cartoon crush…Tela. She wore almost nothing, and I was imagining her naked before I even knew what went in those places.

      The best thing about Cheetara - the very best thing - is that some pervert gave her figurine a cameltoe.

    203. Michael Swaim Says:

      There were new episodes of all the shows you mentioned produced in the 80’s (yes, even six episodes of the Herculoids). Sometime in the 80’s, someone drew those women and put them on TV and we watched them. That’s as close as you can get to being from the 80’s without putting on a slap bracelet, as far as I’m concerned.

    204. David Gee Says:

      By the way, #s 2, 3, 4, and 6 were not from the 80s. The Superfriends started in the 70s (and the version used in this article was from the 70s as well), Scooby Doo started in 69 (that joke just wrote itself), and the Herculoids are from the 60s.

      And yes, this from the guy who just cried about Betty and Veronica not being in this article. I’m actually still physically crying about that too.

    205. Maggie Says:

      Two things to say.
      1) Why are vaginas “too confusing” for you?
      2) D’you think maybe 80’s animal cartoons are to blame for furries? You openly admit to finding a mouse and a cat sexy right here, and you’re not even a furry (as far as we know.)

    206. splainintodo Says:

    208. David Gee Says:

      Betty and Veronica not even in the top ten, let alone not #1? Those two were both smoking hot, were totally different, and perfectly epitomized confusion in what males want. Look at what they did to stupid ass Archie. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, we need a picture of them in this article doing what Velma and Daphne were doing.

      For the record, people who were on the list but lost out when it got narrowed down: Cupcake from The Happy Days cartoon, The D & D people that were mentioned (esp. the Acrobat), Josie and the Pussycats (not 80’s), Judy Jetson, She-Ra, and a couple others.

      Although I second Penelope Pitstop. I forgot her.

      The mushroom in the first Smurfette picture is hilarious, and is the second one Mariah Carey?

    233. BearMan Says:

      Funny, but man a NSFW warning would have been nice to have before scrolling down to the “Internet Fallout” of Chip and Gadget. Was it Chip or Dale? I can’t tell without his shirt on. Anyways, I know this is all pretty perverse, but I found the Gadget thing more perverted than any other on this list for some reason.

      While I’m ranting, I never knew about Smurfette’s plastic surgery. Read her Wiki bio, it’s a feminist’s worst nightmare.

    234. Nimrod Says:

      Dude, forget Cover Girl, it was always the Baroness. Nerd glasses, a skin tight leather dominatrix outfit, a serious rack, and an accent? That’s four fetishes in one luscious package!

    235. Miscellaneous770 Says:

      Now I’m not saying you ripped anyone off, but you should know that someone has composed a similar list that even includes April, Cheetarah, Daphne, and even Jessica as the #1 pick, and it was posted back in July.

      http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/910-top-11-hottest-animated-wome

      This is probably coincidental, as your list includes the somewhat disturbing (yet intriguing) fan drawings. And it’s not like anyone has a monopoly on evaluating animated jerk-off material. Perverted minds think alike, not that I’m anyone to judge.

    236. David H Says:

      Oh dear GOD, it’s the Yiffy…

    237. Cherlindrea Says:

      That was the most disturbing yet humorous insight into mens’ minds ever.

    238. Obama Sucks big black cocks Says:

      They forgot Lady J from GI JOE, she is just as hot as Covergirl in her own way! And then there was Scarlett. I mean seriously she was way hotter then Covergirl. Now that would make for one wild cartoon all-girl threesome that even Vivid Video producers would want to sponsor.

    239. novone Says:

      you failed to mention the little mermaid
      all she wore was a shell bikini, and when she sang her and the waves crashed behind her her rack was quite distinctive
      oh… the confused feelings

    240. G-Money Says:

      GI Joe is not the most unrealistic recruiting tool. The commercial where the marine climbs a cliff and kills a dragon is. Seriously, what the fuck?

    241. Ethan Shuster Says:

      “Reading this, I truly feel sorry for the young men that will grow up in the 00s. I mean, the 90s, there was a decline in amount of hot cartoon girls, but they were still there, though the only one I can point out off the top of my head is Jessie from Team Rocket.”

      So many of the new cartoons have this abstract kind of design. The animation in these older cartoons wasn’t always great, but many of the characters are drawn more realistically.

      @Ein: Not Jessie, Misty =P She always had that cute girlish charm and borderline neurotic temperament.

      Those crushes always seemed so innocent and cute back then, but unfortunately you grow up and they never do. So it just turns into creepy cartoon pedophilia and bestiality.

      Oh and it’s Delorean, not Delorian ;)

    255. Gabriel Says:

      One of the best things about Cheetara from Thundercats was she was NAKED in the opening episode. After seeing that there was always a hope for another chance that her outfit would rip off because she was running so fast.

    260. Martok Says:

      Swaimmy, Swaimmy, Swaimmy,

      How could you forget Princess Ariel from THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN. She was royalty. She wore a flimsy cavewoman outfit much along the lines of Tarra from The Herculoids. She could work magic with her hands, and she had a serious rack to boot. I mean a serious rack. In fact, did I mention her rack… Sorry, to cut this short but I gotta go.
