If i havent heard of it or I HAVE, its prolly deepcut
Actual deepcut: cybersix.
Edit: although edited from the comics to be much more child friendly. Forgot the original prompt.
If you’re going to list Space Ghost you have to have the Herculoids.
Undergrads
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.
1st and second season: haha, oh orel
3rd :
Not really animated but not really not-animated.
The Fuccons. they’re Fuccon fantastic!
Oh my god I thought this was Angela Anaconda. I fucking hate this animation style.
My journey into queer media started with Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. If you’ve never seen it, I’m not sure what to tell you but you should.
Also just looked it up and Alan Cumming and Margaret Cho did voices in it? I gotta rewatch that shit.
Also shout out to Yvon of the Yukon cause ytv was just why (the fuck) tv actually.
Megas: XLR
Gundam for boyz
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.
The Life & Times of Tim
Drawn Together?
I mean that was advertised like crazy on comedy Central when it was on the air.
Same with the Oblongs when it was on adult swim. They had Will Ferrell on the show.
Ongezellig!!!
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.
+1 for Clone High. I still quote it regularly.
“Precious cargo”… ☕️
Salute from the old skool! And oh my brother, does the internet archive have a treat for you…
A lot of things listed here are earler works from well-known creators, like Clone High (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump St, Sealab 2021 (Archer), Bravest Warriors (Adventure Time), Home Movies (Metalocalypse, Squid Billies).
Extra shoutout to China, IL. Love all the oldet Professir Bros. stuff on YouTube, like Roleplaying Tornament and Queeblo that I still sing all the time
The old Brad Neely stuff is really special.
I think doing the serialized China IL broke him somehow…but the old stuff is some of my favorite media. There’s just such charm to this neurodivergent harmless manchild main character.
I’ve at least heard of 13 out of the 27 listed. Only seriously watched like 3 of them though.
Frisky Dingo
Killface 2028!
Master cylinder!
Cat party is still my favourite ringtone.
Cat party? It’s all about Dog Party now.
Do you have bluetooth?
