- Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy+ Grimm & Evil
- Angela Anaconda
- Fairly Odd Parents
- Brak Show
- Ripping Friends
- Whats with Andy
- Mega Babies
- Quads!
- Clone High
Check out list
- Happy Tree Friends
I love them all but its like, how did this shit get on TV and then anywhere near children lmao. Thank god they found their respective ways to us.
Edit: if its only one, try to post a thumbnail image so people can either try to recognize it or know if the animation style is for them
Ren and stimpy
Was gonna say, some of those close-up shots are not for children
Oh, my beloved ice cream bar! How I love to lick your creamy center!

You’re not like the others. You like the same things I do. Wax paper… boiled football leather… dog breath!
We’re not hitchhiking anymore! We’re riding!
It’s wild how many episodes have been edited or removed from circulation due to their content.

Where can we get the raw footage! Those episodes were awesome lol
The high seas.
That one episode where Stimpy births out a fart and has to raise it comes to mind.
I’m not going to count shows aimed at adult audiences because that feels like cheating (that also includes not listing anime aimed at adults because that doesn’t seem like the spirit of the question). Of shows aimed at and easily accessible during their run to children I’m going to say Courage The Cowardly Dog and Invader Zim.
Courage had insane creepy visuals in almost every episode.
Zim wasn’t consistently freaky to the point of being notable in every episode, but the ones that were, they were really out there. The show was from the mind of the creator of the Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (which I read as a kid thanks to my interest in Invader Zim) and the show’s darker elements are obviously reigned in just enough to get on TV.
Cow & Chicken / I M Weasel.
Yeah this is the answer that I came here to see. These definitely belong in this list. Cow & Chicken could be particularly unhinged.
Cow’s tantrums and crying gets me every time
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (though that one was a mix of cartoon and live action, still massively unhinged) and Big Mouth
That looks… uncomfortable.
I want a Pickles tattoo so bad!
• butt ugly martians
• lazy town
• Tex Avery show
• X-DuckX (one of my favorites - just found out that that’s a French cartoon)
• honorable adult mentions: drawn together, robot chicken, ren&stimpy
Is lazy town classified as a cartoon? It’s certainly in fever dream territory, no argument there.
Yeah sorry - I forgot that Angela Anaconda was cutouts or something like that.
But Ugly Martians haha
Venture Brothers beats them all.

MECHA SHEBA
Now I know how Brock feels, having to do all the work while these lammos get top billing.
Sheeesh!
Whoops
Am I tripping or is this Guernica?
Ren and Stimpy was already mentioned, and that one is pretty out there. Rocko’s Modern Life would be a trailing second place imo. Plenty of innuendos and inappropriate storylines in that cartoon.
I love them all but its like, how did this shit get on TV and then anywhere near children lmao.
The Brak Show was on Adult Swim along with a lot of other cartoons aimed at adults. I seriously doubt Happy Tree Friends was grouped into children’s programming, but I only know that from the internet.
Fairly Oddparents & Billy and Mandy both had stuff that might be heavy or scary if you think about it, but the surface level stuff had enough humor involved to make it less intense than it could have been. A lot of shows for kids have more complex stuff that goes over kid’s heads.
Invader Zim

Arguably best cartoon ever made

Still fantastic. I still watch it regularly before bed

Yeah courage is still scary and disturbing. Brilliant stuff
Return the slab…
All I remember is the granny
Unhinged you say?
Ugly Americans, wish they wouldn’t have cancelled it. Shit was great
