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.
Do Saturday Night Live skits count?
The Ambiguously Gay Duo
I’ll allow it
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.
My husband is still scarred by that one.
Watership Down was what traumatized me on seeing blood in cartoons. Cartoons and blood just…dont mix.
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:
How did they react afterwards …?
I don’t really remember, I was 2, but I’m told they kept pushing me down in the back seat. LOL.
Wait, so that means they stayed and watched it?
Once you’re in the Drive In, you’re kind of stuck…
That was the maybe original. Always loved how the cops were actual pigs
The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don’t know wtf it is.
That’s just Ralph Bakshi movies. Try Wizards for some real wtf.
Wizards had the best ending of any movie I’ve seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.
I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!
I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven’t seen this one. I will have to check it out.
I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven’t run entirely out of money like with Wizards.
There’s another animated Hobbit besides Bakshi, which isn’t bad. Not scary though.
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’m so glad all this shit got greenlighted tho, tv in the 90’s was wild, especially for kidz

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.
What was the message it was trying to propagate?
I think they were just trying to promote math. I always thought about it later in life as I tried to drunkenly calculate pool angles at the bar.
“Dammit - Donald tried to explain this when I was 10! Why can’t I remember the details?”
i loved that. should do a whole series through calculus.
Ugh Probably Teens Titans GO: Its episodes just go from Fart Jokes to how to pay Taxes.
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.
Ren and Stimpy
Beavis and Butthead
Love B&B, still traumatized by the Ghost Fart from R&S
Here they aired it at night, when not much else was there to watch. In my teenage years I was always hoping for some kind of erotic scene, but I was only left with confusion and switched the channel.
I saw a lot of Christian propaganda cartoons.
I remember there was a whole series where kids traveled through time to watch “historical” events.
What do you think of Veggie Tales? Actually wasnt mad imo
I think I was older when it came out so I thought it was lame, pushing annoying.
cow and chicken
Catdog is quite similar in terms of “aesthetics” and craziness.
One of the shows that taught me English. And Dexter’s Lab taught me French.
Omelette du fromage
That’s all you can say!
Dexter’s Lab was dope shit. Deedee was such a a great antagonist
I worked for the company that made that. Crazy shit
In my mid-teens, after Saturday Night Live they showed Fantastic Planet on Night Flight. That was an experience.
I watched that on acid… Wow what an experience. Highly recommend
Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.
“The great mouse detective” had a fight scene at the end that freaked me out as a kid.
