Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Crazy cartoon where the Grim Reaper has a Jamaican accent and is subservient to two psycho kids. This cartoon scratches a particular itch no other cartoon does haha, its good stuff
Edit: by kidult, I mean it has appeal to both audiences with stuff that goes over kids heads often and is probably super inappropriate situations/lessons, and such
Edit: I might be also referring generally to content from outlets/studios like
- Nickolodeon
- Teletoon
- Adult Swim
- CartoonNetwork
- some YTV
- Hannah Barbara
The Angry Beavers was by far my favorite.
Also loved Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.
Oh! Courage the Cowardly Dog
So Hysteria was a bit hit and miss in terms of how enjoyable it was, but it did land at a time when I was able to record from TV and use it to aid some school presentations. Every single time the teachers would ask where I got this from.
Mega Babies
Horrifying and the theme song is straight out of your worst nightmare but its part of our history lol
Adventure Time.
Btw, if you’re still into animated shows, there’s a few communities around for them.
General animation:
Japanese animation:
Give’em some activity if you’re wanting to share and talk about some animated stuff you’ve been checking out!
Will do
Star Wars: Clone Wars, it has super inappropriate war crimes.
Clone High’s great too
I feel like clone high leans more to adult than kid.
Haha you’re definitley right, we watched them staying up way past our bedtime lol
Probably Animanics, though I was grown up before I watched that. Before that, I suppose Beavis and Butthead and even Simpsons were considered edgy.
“Finger Prince? I didn’t think so.”
I still can’t believe they got that one past the censors.
Samurai Jack, though not really from growing up… (Then again, when do we ever stop growing up? :)
It had great stories and beautiful artwork. But to an adult eye it was obvious that all those “robots” were there to keep it kid friendly.
All that oil was a clear stand-in for tons and tons of blood.Futurama - though I expect that’s showing my age.
Sabrina The Teenage Witch
Cartoon version of Sabrina, the witch. Salem the Cat is awesome and the best character besides the “What’s your favorite shaver” song dude
Long after I grew up, but Phineas and Ferb
Phineas and Ferb is fantastic! I was also well past being a kid, but I loved watching it with my own kids!
I love that show too even as an adult. Very clever and out there, reminds me of a mellower Dexter’s Lab
They are the reverse Pinky and the Brain.
Pinky has the most heartbreaking honk noise haha
Ren & Stimpy
Was pretty certain Ren & Stimpy had to be mentioned here. Scrolling… scrollling… that was too much scrolling to find this
Duck Dodgers
Daffy Duck but in the 21st & uh 1/2 Century!
Only 25 more years!
That shit was pretty good.
Daffy is the second best looney tunes act next to Foghorn Leghorn
Steven Universe is one of my favorites.
Also, OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes is excellent, and created by Ian Jones-Quartey, the spouse of Steven Universe’s creator, Rebecca Sugar.
He used to write a webcomic that I followed a couple decades ago, which he officially ended in an episode of OK K.O. His webcomic was called RPG World.
