    For me it was probably The Head.

    I really liked Duckman as well.

    Also, the early Beavis and Butt-Head

    True classics, haha.

      I was amazed at the shit they were allowed to play in the after school block on Nick/CN sometimes. Rocco might take the cake with the masterbation milking episode

    Duckman, though that was not for kids.

    Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life both had stuff that was bizarre and only allowed in a kid’s show because it was over their heads.

    Batman TAS and Gargoyles both had some heavy shit. The latter also had a guy die by having fire erupt from behind his eyeballs, and a scene where a surgeon explains a gunshot wound in visceral detail. God I love that show.

    The old Nintendo cartoons, things like the Mario Super Show and the classic Sonic show. If you thought live action Mario and Luigi arguing with fungus people was weird, sometimes the people behind the cartoons would get so lazy that they wouldn’t fully draw some of the frames or throw in a lazy scenario for the main characters like “what if Yoshi had a secret family he was hiding off-screen”. Of note, people often ask me “why are you so relatively soft on the Zelda CDi games” and the answer relates to the deal of effort.

    If puppet shows count, objectively it’s Mr. Meaty.

      “hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?”

      “Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling”

    Watership Down.

    Was visiting relatives and we rented movies from a tiny video store that didn’t have a lot of options or kids, so we got that and Crocodile Dundee.

    Dundee was fun. The bunnies were less so.

    I was a kid in the 90’s. It’d probably be easier to list the normalest cartoons. Like Doug.

    Freakazoid, possibly. Or Toxic Avenger. Though the latter is more insane that they turned the original concept into something for kids in the first place.

    Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn’t know either language) that “starred” a villain named something like Amin Tumani (“I’m in to money”, but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I’m 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

    If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.

        Yeah, that art style looks very familiar. I’ll have to look into it more, since I’m starting to doubt some of the other details I provided. Oh, and the wiki says the animated series started airing on Canal+ in 1996. Maybe it aired elsewhere before?

        But yeah, I think this is it 👍.

        P.S. Iznogoud, like “is no good”. I must have misremembered his name, cuz that makes sense!

      A series of movies & a Saturday morning cartoon show.

      Either it’s real or we’re both from the same alternate universe.
