Ask Lemmy

Code Monkeys

One other person mentioned it but I'll put Tom Goes to the Mayor out there too.

I feel like if you didn't grow up in the rust belt or some other dead part of the USA without anything but public access TV, a lot of the humor is lost on you.

But for those few who did....it was nice to feel seen.

Æonflux

Ongezellig!!!

Fritz the cat! Also non animated but muppet-like Meet the Feebles.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon and 3-South

Venture Bros is probably the best I've seen, but I also enjoyed

• Primal
• The Tick
• Amazing Screw-On Head (only the pilot ever got made, but if you like it check out Creature Commandos)
• Megas XLR

Also if you have kids and want to watch stuff with them that isn't brain rot, try Samurai Jack, Clone Wars (Tartakovsky's original), and Reboot.

Danger Mouse, international spy and crime fighting white rodent with an eye patch. Old British cartoon from the early 80's.

pulls out a list of Adult Swim cartoons

slaps them on the table

I also went to college in the '00s.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned The Critic yet. It was a good show that was screwed over by two networks. Another one is Dilbert, which was based on the comic strip. I think Scott Adams was less involved with it than the strip which made it better (plus he wasn't as insane back then).

Superjail. Imagine if Willy Wonka ran a prison instead of a chocolate factory.

Perfect hair forever! "Hamburgers should be high"

I miss oblongs. Sucks it only lasted like 2 season.

Mission hill was good too, Daria style

People Watching

I've at least heard of 13 out of the 27 listed. Only seriously watched like 3 of them though.

Okay I haven't heard of a lot here.

I don't know if it's the most obscure or deep cut but my favorite vote goes to Moral Orel. It gets dark in a way that doesn't look like it.

Billy and Mandy and Duck Dodgers imo don't belong to this list

Surprised you didn't add the MTV one such as AEon Flux, The Head, The Maxx. Aeon in particular is a favorite of mine, watching it is very wtf. I think it should belong to this list.

Adding a few.

The Head, Liquid Television, The Maxx, Tom goes to the Mayor, Tripping the Rift, Primer, Tom and the Devil, The Critic, Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, Primal, Mission Hill , Friday: The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Aeon Flux, Assy McGee , Aqua Teen (not sure if this counts, honestly), Perfect Hair Forever, Superjail, Happy Tree Friends, Venture Bros - God tier I'm sure I'll think of others

Frisky Dingo

Drawn Together was hilarious. It ended because sponsors were too uncomfortable advertising alongside it. It could never get made today.

Xavier: Renegade Angel, dunno if it counts because it's computer animation but some good TV-MA psychedelic social satire

I don't see Aeon Flux mentioned yet. The Maxx is very good too. Duckman I remember being hilarious, but I dunno if starring Jason Alexander counts as a deep cut.

12 oz. Mouse. Twelve is also the number of fans the show has.

Edit: shoutout to !12ozmouse@adultswim.fan where I am the only person who posts.

Mission Hill

All of the adult swim shows like ATHF, Brak Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Squidbillies, Home Movies, Metalocalypse, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, Sealab 2021, and probably a few others I can't remember. Also, not animated but I would put Sifl & Olly in the mix because it fucking rocks.

Fritz the Cat. Not to be confused with Felix the Cat. Fritz the Cat was, essentially, an adults only version of Felix. And by adult only I mean pornographic.

I'm also not seeing anyone mention Mission Hill so throw that onto the pile. It's hella good.

Also Clone High.

Anyone else remember the Oblongs?
