- Quads
Quads was fucking wild. I remember watching it in between Undergrads and the Oblongs. The wonders of having both parents work night shifts.
For me it was probably The Head.
I really liked Duckman as well.
Also, the early Beavis and Butt-Head
True classics, haha.
Was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes real or did I dream that?
A series of movies & a Saturday morning cartoon show.
Either it’s real or we’re both from the same alternate universe.
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 Last Unicorn. Runner up, The Rats of Nymn.
The Secret of Nimh is one of my favorite movies.
I thought that was “The Secret of Nickel Metal Hydride” for the longest time.
Rocko’s Modern Life was a helluva ride
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
masterbationmilking episodeIt wasn’t originally designed for kids, and it really shows with the pilot episode. It had swearing in it and most of the jokes would go over kids’ heads. Certainly went over mine until I re-watched it as an adult.
Just stare into Really Really Big Man’s Nipples of the Future.
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.
The original sonic cartoon is like a chili dog induced fever dream
You mean Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? I love Robotnik in that show!
Yeah that’s the one, with the surreal desert backgrounds like krazy kat comics
I’ll have to take a look at Krazy Kat
Will check out
The crazy stuff on Liquid Television
Aeon Flux is still super weird 30 years later
I’m still not sure whether “Angela Anaconda” was real or a collective fever dream.
“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”
“How about everything is in color except the peoples skin.”
“Brilliant.”
Amazing show!
cow and chicken
One of the shows that taught me English. And Dexter’s Lab taught me French.
Omelette du fromage
That’s all you can say!
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.
Not sure on your first one, but the second was Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue
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.
Watership Down was what traumatized me on seeing blood in cartoons. Cartoons and blood just…dont mix.
My husband is still scarred by that one.
Do Saturday Night Live skits count?
The Ambiguously Gay Duo
I’ll allow it
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.
Iznogoud maybe…?
