If i havent heard of it or I HAVE, its prolly deepcut
12 oz. Mouse. Twelve is also the number of fans the show has.
Edit: shoutout to [email protected] where I am the only person who posts.
All I remember of that show was catching it on a VHS after I left it recording to grab squidbillies one night, and there was a scene of a shark trying to start a car for a really, really long time, which was pretty damn funny.
“You barely piece of suck-ass car.”
That’s a great episode lol
That show is so dang good.
You’re not gonna believe this, my upvote just got you to 12
Yeah loved that series, had no idea that it was ever considered to be continued
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.
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 :
The Brothers Grunt
Patience grashppper
pulls out a list of Adult Swim cartoons
slaps them on the table
I also went to college in the '00s.
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
Obscure for people outside the UK:
Monkey DustEver seen Bromwell High by chance?
I’ve not, but it looks very British.
I’ll try to get round to giving it a watch if/when I get the chance/time.
Do, Keisha is like the British black Cartman
The LABiA pitches, the dinner party twats, the West Brom terror cell, the Daisy Harris murder inquiry, Ivan Dobsky… if anything, they’ve got better with age. Plus some, like Clive, are pretty timeless.
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
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 :)
Drawn Together was hilarious. It ended because sponsors were too uncomfortable advertising alongside it. It could never get made today.
Did you ever see the movie? It’s basically the creators bitching because they were shunned for the content while South Park was lauded because it came with a heavy-handed moral.
I had no idea. I’m gonna watch that tonight. Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
Turns out, we were both in love with the same fresh ghost.
+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…
Frisky Dingo
Cat party is still my favourite ringtone.
Do you have bluetooth?
Cat party? It’s all about Dog Party now.
Killface 2028!
A scion tc
Master cylinder!
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.
Disenchantment
Nah too mainstream, its a netlix orijj for petes sake
If Netflix shows are too well-known then surely nothing on Adult Swim counts either.
Yeah, I mean I love my Adult Swim line up but very few of them are deep cuts.
I miss oblongs. Sucks it only lasted like 2 season.
Mission hill was good too, Daria style
