I still rewatch episodes of Monkey Dust. If you like pitch black British humor, it's for you.
God I love Monkey Dust. Can't believe it ended 20 years ago now.
"I never done it, I only said I done it so they'd take me bellend oot'a the Magimix."
I use the Russian roulette party game as a gauge to see how people will react to the show. If they find it funny, they're likely to enjoy the rest. If they don't, then they'll REALLY hate where some of the other scenes go.
The Life & Times of Tim
Ugly Americans.
Venture Bros is probably the best I've seen, but I also enjoyed
- Primal
- The Tick
- Amazing Screw-On Head (only the pilot ever got made, but if you like it check out Creature Commandos)
- Megas XLR
Also if you have kids and want to watch stuff with them that isn't brain rot, try Samurai Jack, Clone Wars (Tartakovsky's original), and Reboot.
Code Monkeys
Danger Mouse, international spy and crime fighting white rodent with an eye patch. Old British cartoon from the early 80's.
Fritz the cat! Also non animated but muppet-like Meet the Feebles.
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
HEEEEEYYY Mister Passer-By! Crest-on-Birdman's-HELMET!
Didja... Didja get that thing I sent ya??
Æonflux
If that’s on the list add The Maxx
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.
pulls out a list of Adult Swim cartoons
slaps them on the table
I also went to college in the '00s.
Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon and 3-South
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!
One other person mentioned it but I'll put Tom Goes to the Mayor out there too.
I feel like if you didn't grow up in the rust belt or some other dead part of the USA without anything but public access TV, a lot of the humor is lost on you.
But for those few who did....it was nice to feel seen.
TGTTM is the beginning of a vast, graceful arc that leads eventually, inevitably, to Check It Out With Scott Clam.
Superjail. Imagine if Willy Wonka ran a prison instead of a chocolate factory.

Ongezellig!!!
Xavier: Renegade Angel, dunno if it counts because it's computer animation but some good TV-MA psychedelic social satire

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.

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!
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.

Perfect hair forever! "Hamburgers should be high"
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

I miss oblongs. Sucks it only lasted like 2 season.
Mission hill was good too, Daria style
12 oz. Mouse. Twelve is also the number of fans the show has.
Edit: shoutout to !12ozmouse@adultswim.fan where I am the only person who posts.

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.

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.
