Seth MacFarlane and Lauren Faust are Generation X. Easy one.

Hard call....except for Silent, Boomer, and Early X...their cartoons had neither the audacity, spunk, quality, campiness, or nuance. The whole 60's-early 80's era was just...sad, bleak, bland, and pretty much the reason "Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain" is just such a pejorative.

Yup.  As are Jhonen Vasquez and the creators of South Park, but we already know how you feel about the latter.

That's easy.

The Looney Tunes series.

Road Runner
Bugs Bunny
Donald Duck

Nothing has come close to their quality.

While not necessarily the whole generation,  Chuck Jones is clearly the best when it comes to shorts. Besides his work at Warner Bros., he did the best version ever of Tom and Jerry, and his Grinch inspired two attempts to turn the story into feature length films.

Agree with Looney Tunes and Chuck Jones being the pinnacle.  Close behind for me are the Animaniacs and the original Popeye cartoons from the 1930s, especially the three Popeye color specials (extra long at 16-21 minutes each).  In particular, Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp is a work of art.

Whoever was responsible for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon cartoons in their 1990's heydays. I guess that would be Generation X?
