Do you enjoy all the tournament madness of the NCAA Basketball Championships, but wish there were a version that replaced sports with some of your favorite pop culture loves from childhood? Then you’re in luck, because we’re following up last year’s Muppets and Harry Potter tournaments with a new March Madness tournament dedicated to cartoon theme songs! So scroll down to listen to each of the contenders and vote!

We’ve narrowed the bracket down to 32 cartoon theme songs. To reach that number, we made a few rules: the audience had to originally be primarily kids (eliminating shows like The Simpsons or Futurama). The show had to be directed primarily at American audiences (eliminating a number of worthy anime contenders); our panel of judges made an exception to that rule for Pokemon, a Japanese import that had a disproportionate impact on American audiences. The theme song also needed to originate with the cartoon (eliminating movie adaptations like Ghostbusters). Finally, we didn’t include any shows that have begun in the past 10 years or so, just because our personal knowledge base on those is lacking. And to be clear: this tournament is only about the theme songs, not the cartoon as a whole.

Even with our field narrowed, we had to make a lot of painful cuts. We all had some beloved shows that didn’t make it in. Commiserate with us by commenting on what you would have liked to see make it below. And without further ado, here’s the bracket:

The bracket is divided into four regions: The Oldies, The Heroes, The WarnerDisneys, and The Millennials. The Oldies, top left, is led by #1 seed The Flintstones and covers cartoons from the early 1980s and earlier. The Heroes, bottom left, is led by #1 seed Spider-Man (1960’s version) and covers heroic shows of all eras. The WarnerDisneys, top right, is led by #1 seed Animaniacs and is a collection of Warner Brothers and Disney cartoons of the 1980s and 1990s. And The Millennials, bottom right, is led by #1 seed Pokemon and covers cartoons from the 1990s into the early 2000s.

The schedule of voting is as follows:

Round 1 (Round of 32): Thursday, March 19 – Sunday, March 22

Round 2 (Round of 16): Monday, March 23 – Wednesday, March 25

Round 3 (Round of 8): Thursday, March 26 – Sunday, March 29

Round 4 (Final 4): Monday, March 30 – Wednesday, April 1

Round 5 (Championship Match): Thursday, April 2 – Sunday, April 5

Without further ado, here are all the polls for Round 1. Start listening, voting, and enjoying!

Here’s what the bracket looks like now:

.
It’s clear that no one is safe now, as we vote to determine who will make up the Muppet Final Four. Kermit or Swedish Chef? Rizzo or Animal? FOZZIE OR BEAKER??? Impossible. Gonzo or Statler & Walforf? There are no more easy answers. You have your work cut out for you, voters.

Click on to vote. THIS ROUND ENDS SUNDAY NIGHT. Check back Monday for results and the start of Round 4.

College is all about binge drinking. Why can’t college basketball be?

2014’s March Madness begins today, and we’ve already seen buckets full of excitement.

While Gus Johnson’s departure from CBS has made the world a sad/worse place, and made drinking games harder to craft, it’s still time to celebrate underage drinking, the commodification of amateur athletes and wasting time at the workplace.

This game’s for you, Gus.

BRACKET (BEER BELLY) BUSTING DRINKING GAME RULES:

0. Pour a sip out for Gus Johnson before every game.

1. Whenever a player’s degree or academic standing is discussed, drink!

2. When a team goes into penalty (for fouls), take a sip.

3. When a player misses a clutch free throw, you know what to do.

4. Whenever there’s a buzzer beater, finish your beer.

5. If Dick Vitale says “diaper dandy,” drink.

6. You best be sipping every time CBS “analyst” Charles Barkley commits murder on the English language, and your sanity.

7. Ditto for when every time an analyst/commentator comments about their brackets.

8. Drink for every upset.

9. Drink whenever an asshole friend texts you about “calling” said upset.

10. Whenever announcer Bill Raftery uses silly metaphors for basketball, drink. Kudos to Bleacher Report on this one.

11. Every time you bring up your bracket on your phone, or your computer, or God forbid, the paper version, drink.

12. Whenever a team is referred to as a Cinderella, or any reference to Cinderella (slipper, pumpkin carriage, etc.), have a drink.

13. Drink every time a player’s Mom, girlfriend, or relative is shown on camera. Double it if they’re interviewed. Triple it if it’s the most useless interview you’ve ever seen.

14. Down a drink if there’s a three point play. If you want to go crazier, refer to CraveOnline‘s.

15. Penetrate your soul with another drink if the announcer refers to driving to the basket as penetration.
