American "kids" cartoons? Pfft. Have you already forgotten about Liquid Television? That shit was so clearly by stoners, for stoners that even MTV knew it wouldn't fly in any other time slot than post-midnight, but maaan was it glorious! Sifl & Ollie, Ren & Stimpy, Aeon Flux, The Maxx, Big Head, and so much more! (fuck Beavis & Butthead, the inbred cousin that made scrote-cheese like Howard Stern marketable? Hard pass.)

Sifl & Olly

You know what your problem is? You don't have chicken-flavored air conditioning.

Ren & Stimpy spent it's beginnings and all but it's last season on nickelodeon at like 7 in the evening. You'd watch it, rugrats, and Doug, plus re'runs through the week. Now kinda like Rocko's Modern Life, maybe it shouldn't have been a show targeted at 10 year olds, but it was.

MTV's other liquid shows like Big Head and Aeon Flux were never targeted or made for kids to watch. You were a 90's teen/young adult if you were meant to be watching those shows.

Apologies, I misremembered that fact about Ren & Stimpy. Might've been mixing it up with other clearly "for stoners, by stoners" content (not unlike Rocko's Modern Life). Additionally, "teen/young adult" is a kid — unless you're a GOP politician/priest, and it's "90s" not "90's", while we're splitting hairs. 🤪

Whatever you wanna tell yourself to make you think you're correct. Lol.

You seem to prefer that SOP. Who am I to argue with genius?
