Which animated shows are cult classics?

[TokiBun]

Duckman
The Critic
Drawn Together

honorable mention: Family Guy would have been a cult classic had it not been uncancelled after Season 3

I love the Critic so much I think it's funnier than the Simpsons. I hear Jay's voice in my head all the time.

Made in a different time, would never be made today.

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

The Holy Trinity of awful late 2000s Nickelodeon studio politics:

Drawn Together

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Megas XLR always comes to mind. Comedy, giant robots, punk rock, the show had everything.

 

[Mister Qwerty]

The 1967 Spider-Man cartoon series but only the first season, not the horrid Ralph Bakshi versions.


The Flintstones. And who cares if it was a ripoff of The Honeymooners.

Clerks: The Animated Series. The best thing Kevin Smith ever done.

 

[Your Starter for 10]

The Black Sabbath episode of Scooby Doo.

 

[Steve Martin Short]

Turbo Teen, Galaxy High, and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

 

[Power Ranger Monster]

2 Stupid Dogs

 

[Autistic Spergout]

Cow and Chicken/I am Wesel

 

[Rudy Coleman]

Mission Hill easy, show got put on a teen girl network at awful hours so it only got one season unfortunately. The show is written by 2 guys that wrote for seasons 4-6 on the Simpsons and it catered to the late teens - early 20s demographic which was unheard of.

Additionally the animation cels were apparently much brighter and popped more in person if you can get your hands on one.

FANTADROMS

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

X-Men Evolution

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

101 Dalmatian Street

 

[Nikes_JustDoIt]

Dr. Katz,it's barely animated but its unique

 

[Nguyen Van Phuoc]

Ongezellig

Code Lyoko is oddly considered a cult classic everywhere outside of France. It’s popular in Japan and North America but never got the respect that totally spies and teen titans did from the networks. Code Lyoko should've been a show on toonami. Especially with its darker themes and violence. The original French lyrics to the code Lyoko theme song pretty grim dark for a kids show.

I loved Code Lyoko, but it was held back by being way too formulaic. Yeah, it advanced the plot occasionally and eventually got its story told, but not a single episode ever broke the standard format.

Is this just a thing in French animation? Miraculous Ladybug has the same problem, although Wakfu never did.

'sup bitches.

Ulysses31. It's like if Moebius had designed a Saturday Morning Cartoon show:

The whole series is all on Youtube as well.

I liked Exo-Squad when it came out, since it was a lot darker than the usual "shows based on kids toys" series. The character designs were extremely 90s though...
