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
Peepoodo & The Super Fuck Friends
Extremely NSFW French cartoon that teaches sex education and is about a horny little hamster exploring the world (and a lot of people).
You will probably want to fuck the cat. It’s okay, everyone wants to fuck the cat. The cat is hot.
The Bullwinkle Show (1959-1963) is a riot and definitely should not have been around children. It’s as much of a riot as an adult as I remember it being as a kid (though I only ever saw it on re-runs, I’m not quite that old.)
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!
[talking to a bar of soap]
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.

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
Æonflux
Ren & Stimpy (especially the adult stuff)
Metalocalypse
Not a cartoon, but number 1 most unhinged kids’ show has to be Boohbah. Everyone involved in the making of this show has to have been on drugs constantly, that’s the only explanation I can think of for why this show exists.
Boobah is fr fucked, I have to rewatch it some day while high
You Americans don’t know the horrors of Kevin Spencer
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (though that one was a mix of cartoon and live action, still massively unhinged) and Big Mouth
That looks… uncomfortable.
Venture Brothers beats them all.
MECHA SHIVA*
MECHA SHIVA*
MECHA SHIVA*
MECHA SHEBA
Now I know how Brock feels, having to do all the work while these lammos get top billing.
Sheeesh!
Whoops
• 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
Am I tripping or is this Guernica?
Invader Zim

Arguably best cartoon ever made

Yeah courage is still scary and disturbing. Brilliant stuff
All I remember is the granny
