What was the craziest cartoon(s) you saw whilst a kid?

Ren & Stimpy

Bible Black.

The oblongs, ripping friends, Ren n Stimpy, I r baboon were some of the best. Drawn together was a gem too that came out when i was a teen

Bible Black and Gantz

Muran Buschstansangur

For me it was probably The Head.

I really liked Duckman as well.

Also, the early Beavis and Butt-Head

True classics, haha.

Quads was fucking wild. I remember watching it in between Undergrads and the Oblongs. The wonders of having both parents work night shifts.

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.

Was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes real or did I dream that?

Rocko’s Modern Life was a helluva ride

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 Last Unicorn. Runner up, The Rats of Nymn.

The original sonic cartoon is like a chili dog induced fever dream

I'm still not sure whether "Angela Anaconda" was real or a collective fever dream.

The crazy stuff on Liquid Television

cow and chicken

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.

Do Saturday Night Live skits count?

The Ambiguously Gay Duo

Ren and Stimpy

Beavis and Butthead

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.

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.

When I was like, 2? My parents were like "Hey! What's this new cartoon? Let's take the kid to the drive-in!"

Fritz the Cat:

In my mid-teens, after Saturday Night Live they showed Fantastic Planet on Night Flight. That was an experience.

The Brave Little Toaster. It's a bit endearing until the LSD trip goes bad.

The Last Unicorn

The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don't know wtf it is.

Adolar's Fantastical Adventures

An old Hungarian cartoon about a boy who hides an inflatable rocket in his violin case. He uses it to fly to strange planets like a two dimensional one. Most vivid image I have in my mind is how the rocket stretches when it approaches light speed.

The most hauntingly memorable was a weird mid-century Donald Duck piece of math propaganda. We watched it in school.

Donald Duck in MathMagic Land. Not scary, but odd.

Zap Comix #3

Ugh Probably Teens Titans GO: Its episodes just go from Fart Jokes to how to pay Taxes.

“The great mouse detective” had a fight scene at the end that freaked me out as a kid.

I was 12 and just getting into Anime, fresh off seeing Akira and Ninja scroll and hungry for more, I was not ready for Wicked City.

Watership Down.

Mid-90s, I used to stay up all night long on Fridays, watching weird cable access shows and infomercials. There was a Highlander: The Animated Series cartoon that came on around 4AM. No one ever believed me when I tried to describe it.

Vacalactica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF7tKWzkzi4

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it's based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

I saw a lot of Christian propaganda cartoons.

I remember there was a whole series where kids traveled through time to watch "historical" events.

The Point!

From Wikipedia: The Point! is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses [each] came to [a] point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's [still] a point to it.'"[4]

I’m pretty sure this is why I do drugs today.
