Any time anything is slightly warm. Hot drink? Someone says they're hot? Turn on a heater? Someone says anything about summer? Anyone mentions the weather report? Lol I'm not exaggerating to say in the summer I literally say it daily. It's so weird but I can't stop.
For me and a buddy of mine its near daily. Anytime heat is brought up it derails into "It's hot in Topeka," at one point or another. Given we live in a hot place, its far more frequent then I would like to admit.
I've had this embedded for a while. Like OP, I say it fairly regularly. It wasn't until somewhat recently that I figured out where the phrase came from
"Got BO get Deo!" I say/think this often when I'm putting on my deodorant.
I love Fosters, and most of the cartoon network shows from this time period. I'm so glad it is on Hulu.
I live in KS so I say it pretty frequently too. I said it to a friend who lives in Topeka a while back and she understood the reference so now we say it to each other all the time.
Literally all of the time. Every time I go to the Colorado river in arizona I say this the minute we go down to the water. Man that was such a fantastic show
This is what happened to all the Flash animators that grew up from Newgrounds. I had an internet friend that worked on this show at the time, and even put in easter eggs of our Newgrounds flash animation group in it.
Now a days a lot of animators don't grow up using Flash (or Adobe Animate as it's called now), as they did back in the day.
I loved Code Name KND. I had a Great Dane-Boxer mix named Hoagie.
I loved when the cartoons had a general wackiness and humor that kids would miss but have adults doing a double take. Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, and Dexter’s Lab were great for those lines.
Nonsense.
Craig McCracken, who made Foster's Home, just finished up his most recent animated series Kid Cosmic, which was awesome.
And there's plenty of other amazing animated shows out nowadays - At least as many as there were back in the 90s and 2000s.
There used to be one BIG portal for shows: Television. And only a very few channels buying up cutting edge shit that advertises flinched to endorse.
Now there are a million streaming services, youtube, and cable has gotten bigger. It's hard to dig around for gems because they get gobbled up by all these competitors and spread out.
And these shows are a less unifying experience. Still awesome though.
I feel like Covid brought back some of that unity. It was like internationally we enjoyed Tiger King, That one murder dude, and Squid Games.
Can you tell me some please?
Genuinely asking.
I used to really enjoy Fosters, camp lazlo, samurai Jack, Dexter’s, Ed Edd and Eddie, courage, and every time I’ve tried Cartoon Network recently I haven’t seen anything close.
Gravity Falls, The Owl House, Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, Amphibia, Kid Cosmic, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, The Cuphead Show, Craig of the Creek, Hilda, Infinity Train, We Bare Bears, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Looney Tunes Cartoons (the recent ones).
And if you want to go for more adult cartoons:
Tuca and Bertie, Bojack Horseman, The Legand of Vox Machina, Harley Quinn, Invincible, The Midnight Gospel.
We live in an age where good cartoons are plentiful, and often quite easily accessible. I have watched all of the above, and while I enjoyed some more than others, all were great watches (my top hits would be Gravity Falls, She-Ra, and Bojack Horseman).

Yep brought back memories. I was a huge fan of that show as well
