Fun fact: The voice of Cow is Chris Hardwick host of Talking Dead.

I'll say Ren and Stimpy also. I was at LSU when it came out and it was must see TV because it was the craziest shite we had ever seen in a cartoon. "You covet my ice cream bar!" Powdered Toast Man, Log, etc. the horse was the shite "no sir didn't like it". The tooth nerve fairy was fricked up.

My daughter loves Regular show, Adventure Time, and Gumball. She has to explain it to me because I'm like how are that Cat and Fish brother and sister and what the hell are their parents. What's up with the kid wearing the hat from Where the Wild Things are and the blind dog wearing Marcy glasses?

A transvestite rabbit and a hunter who wants to make sweet Viking love to him are pretty weird in my opinion...but I understand what you mean. As an older guy , I remember the world thinking the Simpsons was crude, not weird. Remember though, it was introduced as a segment on the Tracy Ulman Show.

I put the absurdity line of demarcation at around Ren & Stimpy as well. Many of my friends liked it, and I just didn't get it.
