If i havent heard of it or I HAVE, its prolly deepcut
SlackerCats - obscure, ran for half a season
Clerks The Animated Series - obscure, ran for half a season
Carol and the end of the world (Mainstream but wildly serene, surreal, and overtly human)
Moral Oral - pretty dark adult show
Ren and Stimpy - pretty dark for a kids show
I’m sure I’ll think of a few more
I’m surprised Ren and Stimpy made it in the obscure list. They were about as popular as anything when they were on.
Not so obscure, but very dark. This was a kids show on Nickelodeon after all. Have you watched it?
Have I watched it?
HAVE I WATCHED IT???
Have you ever shaved a yak? Have you ever enjoyed powdered toast? Have you ever sung along with Stinky Whizzleteats?!?
I was watching Ren & Stimpy before you were saving up your allowance to buy a Log.
I mean, to be fair, none of those things are things I can tell from here.
The adult party cartoon might be obscure enough to make the list.
Interesting! Thanks!
My friend and I still quote clerk’s to this day! Such a great show. So dumb, but great!
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.
I’ll 1 up you and go with Liquid Television, where Aeon Flux started-- like Tracy Ulman & the Simpsons.
Duckman was pretty mainstream when it aired, but it’s been largely forgotten. Ahead of its time, humor-wise.
Anyone else remember the Oblongs?
The oblongs and quads (which used to air back to back when I watched) are like a fever dream. What the fuck, actually.

Assy McGee
Assy McGee truly stood on it’s own. Worst possible idea and they just went for it. Beautiful
Æonflux
Is this obscure? I thought it well known?
It’s generational. Definitely more obscure than Drawn Together, The Oblongs, or Billy and Mandy
Woah, I’ve not seen any of those! Yes I am old. I liked the animated Aeon Flux a lot, and there was a pretty bad live adaptation, so I thought it was famous.
If that’s on the list add The Maxx
I’ve at least heard of 13 out of the 27 listed. Only seriously watched like 3 of them though.
Perfect hair forever! “Hamburgers should be high”
Fritz the cat! Also non animated but muppet-like Meet the Feebles.
Maybe the PJ’s
That one was a good one. It’s a shame that’s the show that ultimately brought down Vinton Studios, financially. They were the ones who did the California raisins commercials, and the M&Ms commercials, among other things.
That crash is what ultimately got Phil Knight,of Nike fame, to gain a majority share of the studio and fire Will Vinton. He then put his son, Travis Knight, in charge of the studio, and changed the name to Laika.
I had animation instructors who worked in the PJs before they were all laid off. Everyone was bitter about the Vinton getting fired. I did get to meet Vinton once too, so that was neat!
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.
Everybody should check out the adultswim.fan instance which has communities for all these shows as well as general ones like [email protected] and [email protected]
Heck yeah to all these!
I had a black cat with green eyes I named Sifl. Got attitude from quite a few people about what TF was wrong with me for naming a cat after syphilis…
Hoops is a recent one that cracked my shit up, and I was bummed didn’t get another season of two
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
HEEEEEYYY Mister Passer-By! Crest-on-Birdman’s-HELMET!
Didja… Didja get that thing I sent ya??
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).
It stinks!
Buy my book!
pulls out a list of Adult Swim cartoons
slaps them on the table
I also went to college in the '00s.
If you’re going to list Space Ghost you have to have the Herculoids.
