If i havent heard of it or I HAVE, its prolly deepcut
People Watching
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).
Perfect hair forever! “Hamburgers should be high”
pulls out a list of Adult Swim cartoons
slaps them on the table
I also went to college in the '00s.
I miss oblongs. Sucks it only lasted like 2 season.
Mission hill was good too, Daria style
Superjail. Imagine if Willy Wonka ran a prison instead of a chocolate factory.
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.
The Brothers Grunt
1st and second season: haha, oh orel
3rd :
Patience grashppper
Actual deepcut: cybersix.
Edit: although edited from the comics to be much more child friendly. Forgot the original prompt.
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
Aeon Flux
Oh man, that was Heavy Metal tier crazy nonsense.
Frisky Dingo
Master cylinder!
Cat party is still my favourite ringtone.
Do you have bluetooth?
Cat party? It’s all about Dog Party now.
Killface 2028!
Xavier: Renegade Angel, dunno if it counts because it’s computer animation but some good TV-MA psychedelic social satire
Vernon Chatman before South Park was great! Not that he wasn’t great for SP.
Another that doesn’t meet the qualification is Wonder Showzen. So great!
The Heart She Holler was pretty good too
Drawn Together was hilarious. It ended because sponsors were too uncomfortable advertising alongside it. It could never get made today.
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.
Duckman was pretty mainstream when it aired, but it’s been largely forgotten. Ahead of its time, humor-wise.
I’ll 1 up you and go with Liquid Television, where Aeon Flux started-- like Tracy Ulman & the Simpsons.
Mission Hill
I remember loving this show as a kid! I still laugh when I think about “douchebag” written in cursive.
You may be happy to know there is an archive of all the episodes :)
