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
Am I tripping or is this Guernica?
Before I’d go to school, at 6am the WB channel played what became my private Disney Afternoon equivalent, which rotated through four shows: Jumanji, Garfield, Sonic the Hedgehog, and— for whatever reason— Roughnecks, the animated Starship Troopers series.
It was rated PG, was produced by Paul Verhoeven, and people fucking died. No idea how it snuck in alongside the tamer stuff, but it very much felt unhinged at the time/someone didn’t vet it for kids.
Ren and stimpy
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.
Yes! Ned and the Giant Newt
Nu Pogodi is goated
Salad Fingers https://youtu.be/OWBFKL6H7rI
The fact that I just had a 12 year old tell me they like rusty spoons last week really messed with my head. She was indeed quoting salad fingers.
Invader Zim
Not TV but you could absolutely see how much the creators mental health was struggling if you read through his comic series, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac
More organs means more human!
Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find this one
• 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.
I want a Pickles tattoo so bad!
Aeon Flux (the anime TV series, not the movie)
I want to say it was aired as part of the Def II, teenage audience program slot on BBC2 in the '90s, the original UK home of Ren and Stimpy and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but the Wikipedia article for Def II doesn’t mention it at all.Edit: Nope, it was Liquid Television (see reply). Some but not all of MTV’s weird programmes ended up on BBC2, sometimes even under the original parent name, like Liquid Television.
As I recall, aeon flux started in the United States on mtv as part of its “liquid television” block in the early 90s. Back when the station was owned by viacomm, same as Nickelodeon. It shared several voice actors with Rugrats too
– Ren & Stimpy
– Ed, Edd and Eddy
– Cow & Chicken
– Courage, the Cowardly Dog
– Animaniacs
Venture Brothers beats them all.
Those guys are hilarious. Everyone should buy their DVDs/BluRays and enjoy their commentary (but not on first viewing).
Duckman.
FL*CL, which is unhinged but not in a sick leaning manner, it’s just really weird.
FL*CL
That was a bizarre one. My friend was obsessed with it and I was so freaking confused…
The airsoft episode was a really fun time though hahaha.
…oh geeze didn’t his grandpa dress as a nazi for that one or something? Man this is going back like 15+ years I just remember guitars getting pulled out of foreheads and flying irons and a weird live-action moped PoV outro…
I always thought it would be so damn fun getting an entire neighborhood in on an airsoft game though.
But I only watched it when that friend was over, because I always had at least one parent home and didn’t feel like trying to answer “what the heck are you watching?” LOL
Drawn Together
That was real?? I thought it was some fever dream from when I had chickenpox.
Courage the Cowardly Dog is crazy
I most vividly remember the villains, of course.
- The big purple foot fungus mobsters. “eyyeah, see?”
- The evil barber “Nauuughtyyyyy”
- And of course, Rameses. “Returrrrn the slaaab”
- Special mention: Eustice. “Stupid dog!”
Such a good show though. The things he did for love.
I loved that show’s premise and core message about confronting fear. He was always terrified and saved the day anyway.
I just wanted him to finally get a happy little dog existence lol…
