      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

    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.

    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.

      “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”

    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 first one that comes to mind is this one from probably the early 90s. From what I remember it was a group of kids and one of them is sick or something and the other kids try to save him? In the end they each sacrifice a year of their life so that the sick friend can live. I wanna say Steven Spielberg was a producer.

    There was also that one crossover movie where a bunch of cartoon characters from whatever was popular in the 80s did an anti-drug movie.

    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.

        I think they were just trying to promote math. I always thought about it later in life as I tried to drunkenly calculate pool angles at the bar.

        “Dammit - Donald tried to explain this when I was 10! Why can’t I remember the details?”
