    Danger Mouse - I think the consistent 4th wall breaking, kidnapping narrators, and sense of humour as a whole had an effect on my from a formative age.

    Monkey Dust - the cartoon that made it clear to me that cartoons weren’t not at all nesseccarily safe for kids. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, it was too disturbing for tween me.

    Sealab 2021 and Excel Saga both crazy animations that I found easier to digest about that time, too.

    Watership Down, other folks have already mentioned.

      I have no idea when I first saw it but I loved it right away! I definitely loved it when Family guy would do anything claymation or with action figures like Dwayne Johnson showing Peter and Lois “having sex”

      You have a point. In this thread, we’re biased towards relatively more obscure cartoons, yet Looney Tunes practically invented the hyperactive uber-crazy cartoon.

    I thing Dutch people from my generation have you all beat:

    Purno de Purno (porn pun very much intended)

    A psychedelic cartoon about a funny guy in spandex that has a shitload of nudity (tits, penisses etc) to the point of him even crawling in the vagina of a giant lady in space. It has references to litaral drug use. Have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o6MIJ7Iq1U doesn’t matter if you know the language, just browse through. That episode is called ‘In het hol van de kietelaar’ which translates to ‘In the clitoris’ lair (hole)’

    This was on kids tv. Nobody got seriously harmed by it. It was funny and weird, but you don’t really register exactltyy how weird it is untill you hear about sensitivities on US TV (nipplegate lol)

    a stll, much more to find

    If we’re counting highschool as still a kid, the old Chinese cartoon Calabash Brothers. Still looking for ENG subs for the newer version that released in the 2010s, though.

    It’s a cartoon where a snake and scorpion demon escape from a mountain and an elderly man has to grow a magic calabash seed that turns into 7 different calabashes that turn into little dieties when ripe in order to stop the demons.

    For me it was probably The Head.

    I really liked Duckman as well.

    Also, the early Beavis and Butt-Head

    True classics, haha.

    Gantz, Watership Down, Animal Farm, Super Jail, and Urslua looks like my father’s mother, whom I hated, so I freaked the fuck out when my mom brought that VHS he.

      Rock was a favorite of mine. The nude beach episode really stuck out to me.

      And his dog’s name was Spunky, ffs.

      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
