Top 10 Best Cartoons of All Time

This is an AMAZING cartoon. SpongeBob began in 1999. It didn't get major success until season 2. Season 3 had SpongeBob it to new heights, although a hiatus was going on in 2003 during this season due to the movie being made. After the movie things went a little down hill. Season 4 and 5 were still pretty good, but season 6 and 7 were pretty bad. But season 8 brought back some of the old humor and season 9 so far is even better than season 8. Season 10 is coming next year and is supposed to be the longest and best SpongeBob season ever! There's a new movie coming next year and hopefully SpongeBob will be as good as the first 3 seasons!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? The number 1 cartoon in the world is SpongeBob SquarePants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he. The show became a worldwide phenomenon. Just why is SpongeBob the number 1 cartoon in the world? Reason being is because of everything about it. The show debuted in 1999, and still exists toady. Everybody around the world loved it thanks to the creators of the show from other Nicktoons classics like Rocko's Modern Life, The Angry Beavers, and Hey Arnold! Plus it won like over 11-12 awards in the Kids Choice Awards. The video games do count. It may have lost to favorite cartoon in the 2008 Kids Choice Awards, but nobody cared, and the show became the most popular ever since. It has over 32,000-35,500 fans all around the world. So it's both the most popular cartoon on Nickelodeon, and alone all over the world!

I adore this show it is actually the reason I am able to speak english I learned all of my english knowledge by watching this show.

I have an interesting theory that the show is just some kid's imagination. I think the kids name is "Bobby" and that he imagines an underwater city to escape the real world. This explains why SpongeBob acts so childish and doesn't know that much, he is just a kid and is only starting to learn these things. The people and places are all based on Bobby's life. Gary represents Bobby's cat. Like a snail, the cat is slow and doesn't have time to play. Patrick is his best friend. Patrick is homeschooled and hardly leaves his house. Some would say he "Lives under a rock". Squidward is Bobby's neighbour. He is very old and doesn't like to be annoyed by the boy. Mr. Krabs is his father. He always cared about his money and never spends a single nickel. Plankton is the school bully. He always steals Bobby's lunch but Bobby always gets it back. Speaking of food, Bobby's favourite fruit is pineapple and that he jokes that the burgers in the cafeteria are made from poo and calls them "Crappy ...more

Okay so maybe the modern episodes suck, but man, just watch the first eight seasons. Well rounded, consistent characters with conflicting motivations who are so fun to watch (especially Homer), amazing dialogue, unforgettable plot lines... this show was amazing and certainly worth your time. Just... if you are or have kids under the age of ten or twelve, don't show this to them. It's fantastic, yes, but kind of too vulgar for younger viewers. It deals with some sexual themes and violence and stuff like that. Also the characters aren't the best role models and I can't say it always teaches great lessons. But the stories are great, relatable, and really funny. So watch it, if you can.

The Simpsons isn't only the longest running cartoon, it's also the most well-rounded by far. Famous guest-stars almost every week, well-written stories and jokes, great visuals & animation, top-quality music, and a complete detailed universe of interesting, politically-incorrect characters guarantee intelligent and stupid fun for ALL ages.

Always fully loaded with pop-culture & historic references, the multi-layered story-arcs intertwine perfectly in most episodes. Frequently reflecting (recent) real-world events, conflicts, dilemma's and emotions, it is not shy of addressing adult topics in a smart and commonly original way.

Some 10 years ago it did have some lesser critically acclaimed seasons, but it definitely picked up recent seasons; there are many real gems lately.

Younger viewers might even not be aware that when it started, some episodes were very controversial (think Mr Smithers' sexuality back in 89-90), and paved the way to mainstream acceptance for ...more

Remember Family Guy, because that show was so popular, it stole it from one of the cartoons coming in at number 4. The Simpsons. The show was crowned the number 1 most popular FOX cartoon worldwide. Like family Guy, and South Park, there is a little bit of inappropriate stuff for kids. But everyone around the world loved the cartoon, because it has a lot of humor, and other stuff. It became really popular, because more than 20,000 people loved the show. However it still can't match for the next cartoon.

This is a great show. After I stopped watching SpongeBob I watched one episode and... It was entertaining, FUNNY and perfect. I love all the characters especially the D'OH! man Homer Simpson. Bart is funny as well! It was popular but slightly went down in Season 20 and after. In those seasons it was more mystery than comedy and it has LOADS of episodes when Sideshow bob tries to kill Bart. But the FOX company makes good cartoons but THIS one is the best one! You've to watch this show because you will never ever get bored. Also Nelson the bully is funny with his HA HA. Also Homer can be funny with his mmm...Promo or m...paper! I love the theme song especially when the Simpsons sit on the sofa. Marge sure has a funny voice! So please do watch this show if you DON'T watch it because it is really, REALLY funny!

The characters are three dimensional, there's good mysteries, and there are no toilet jokes at all. Probably not suitable for younger children, because it is dark at times, but it is very well written and appeals to preteens, teens, and even some adults. There are also no stereotypes, laugh tracks, or even any fashion obsessed teenage main characters like in other Disney shows. The art style is also very original, and so is the theme song. Even the cast are very charismatic, like Kristen Schaal, Jason Ritter-son of John Ritter- and many guest stars, such as John Oliver, John DiMaggio, and Patton Oswalt. This is definitely unlike any other cartoon I've ever seen.

This is the best cartoon of all time. I've watched all the episodes more than once. I've never been this obsessed with a cartoon before.

Gravity Falls is the best cartoon to ever be created and let me tell you why. Most cartoons that I watch are basically the same thing over and over with no progression or character development. But Gravity Falls, it has a plot, it has amazing characters, it has mystery, it has suspense, and the whole show just fits together so nicely it makes me want to cry happiness. I understand that not all people want actual progression because they don't have time to keep up, but if you watch them all online and in order everything will make sense and it will be the best experience in you life. This is the only show that I counted down the days until the next episode was released. And I'm still in pain that it ended, never getting over that.

Why is this show not higher on the list? This isn't a dump cartoon for kids, this is a show about characters and a big main plot with the mystery element. I watched this show since the beginning, started to think it was just a funnu cartoon. But after the season 1 finale, I realised that there was a big main plot and big secrets hidden throughout the episodes. I watched theories about Gravity Falls on YouTube like the twin brother theory and really got into it. Then I watched season 2, which has a bigger focus on the main plot, and we got more answers. The episode "Not what he seems" blew my mind and showed how good a episode could be. The show went on to the epic finale, that I watched yesterday. It shows the main character conflict and how much continuity Gravity Falls has. Alex did a great job with the show, even if this show wasn't that long. It has a really serious plot and deserve a better placement on the list. I think that most cartoon, like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry (I ...more

What could possibly be better than Bugs Bunny playing tricks on Elmer Fudd,
Daffy and Porky as friends, and the Roadrunner being chased by the Coyote?

Looney Tunes should be number one. Not only were the characters well-drawn, but the writing of the dialog so witty and creative. Plus, incorporating classical music was genius.

I took my kids to Symphony Hall in Chicago to see Bugs Bunny on Broadway. Just thinking about the live orchestra playing with perfect precision to those classic cartoons gives me chills. That performance had a profound impact on my five-year-old daughter who had never seen musical notes in her life. When we got home she drew out the notes she remembered seeing when they performed "Little Brown Jug" I recommend watching the clip for those who have never seen it.

It is ign 10/10 show because no computer animation the age of it, it only died out ~3 years ago because of controversy I think, there was only 1 voice actor Mel Blanc, and don't tell me that even 1 episode wasn't entertaining or funny. Some ones you may have never saw had a good message, these episodes were made during wwII. This show has always been my favorite by far and I am very disappointed that it doesn't run on mainstream television channels like Cartoon Network

One of the very first series of cartoons ever made, Looney Tunes introduced a new style of Cartoons that is still used today. Slapstick. That means Safes and Anvils falling from the sky, Bombs and TNT stuffed in pants, Giant Hammers, Explosions, the list goes on. Not only that but introduced great charaters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

My passion and love for this show will never end. Sure, it's crass, it's crude, and it's pretty over the top, but you can never judge something by its surface. Unlike something like Mr.Pickles ( Not trying to offend fans ), there's a really positive spirit behind that shocking exterior. These messages leave you thinking, but also laughing! Because, readers, they're pointing out everything wrong with society! It makes you realize what has become of the world, and how you can try to fix it. A bonus is, maybe this is my own bias, but I love this art style. The characters are perfect, the voice acting cracks me up, and the writing is unbelievably sharp! It can be low-brow, but I adore this show. I highly recommend every 13+ to watch this warm, fuzzy, paper masterpiece. Thank you, Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are geniuses. A lot of things in the world today annoy me and South Park never fails to comment on these things. Another reason why I love this cartoon is that the animation style is so unique.

I have been a fan since just before my 13th birthday (2011) while many others have been fans since the beginning (1997). I prefer characters like Kyle and Wendy while the majority enjoys characters like Cartman, Randy and Butters. I somewhat enjoy the episode to episode continuity as of late while South Park seems to have lost viewers in the last couple years because of it. I'll admit that with my own opinions, I feel a bit disappointed. But no matter what happens within the show itself and the fandom, I will remain a loyal viewer up to the series finale.

I love this show! It may get racist at sometimes, and Cartman insults Jews a lot, but this show actually has a plot. A plot for every episode. And, back in the old days, Kyle or Stan always learned something. They give us lessons that we now use in our everyday lives.

And the fact that in their Cartoon Wars episodes (may be spoiler) when Cartman stated that Family Guy is nothing but jokes that have nothing to do with the storyline... South Park has jokes that go with the storyline.

An amazing show, in my opinion, should be in top 3, the story, the characters, the animation, the concept, the music, its humor, it really comes together to form something incredible, and something that doesn't just stand out from ANY other cartoon on Nick, but any other cartoon PERIOD. It was a very mature show for kids dealing with heavy topics such as war, family, friendship, abuse, and even death! And think about it, this show was airing from 2005 to 2008, and people are STILL talking about! It has aged phenomenally! It was a revolutionary cartoon that stood the test of time for good reason, I love this show.

This show is a masterpiece. It reinvented what it meant to be a cartoon by not being some ridiculous slapstick comedy that relies on shallow and unrealistic plot lines just to gain a laugh. Avatar was the one of the first successful cartoons to introduce an overarching plot, a storyline that stretches over the entire series. By doing this, they were able to show great character development. Sokka turned from a narcissistic, misogynistic jerk to a man deserving of leading the Water Tribe, while still maintaining his comedic elements. Aang turned from a bubbly little kid to a true hero. Katara turned from an overbearing supporting character to a strong, independent warrior. Zuko probably displayed the most change, literally turning from villain to hero. You get the point. And aside from the main characters, there was an amazing and memorable cast of supporting roles like Iroh, Bumi, and Azula. Aside from characters, the universe they creating was so expansive and detailed. So much so ...more

The reason I love this is because of the creative and imaginative 'Avatar' world. It gives you an enjoyable background of the world around the characters, and absolutely STUNNING visuals. There are diverse and 3 dimensional characters, and you can relate the the main cast, but also remember the background characters as well. Sokka and Toph have to be the greatest clowns ever! And Zuko's development is so real! You can feel for the characters, such as Katara losing her mother, and acting like a motherly figure towards her group so they have somebody to keep them intact. Aang, as the Avatar, has development throughout the series whereas he goes from being to a naive kid, to a matured and spiritual leader for the world.

Avatar the Last Airbender is an amazing show. I'm surprised it isn't in number one right now! It's perfect for every age; it has EVERY element that a great show would have; romance, comedy, adventure, action, and great characters. Toph has incredible and awesome earthbending powers, Aang is fun-loving (and of course the Avatar), and Sokka keeps me laughing all the time! (I don't think there was any episode where I didn't laugh out loud). Katara is very brave and kind, which is definitely something to admire! I've seen every single episode, and is NEVER boring. The creators also did a great great job, especially with the whole bending concept! Who doesn't love that? The story line is amazing and filled with danger and excitement. This show is a classic! There is no show currently in the world that can beat Avatar and there never will be! I will never stop liking this AWESOME AWESOME cartoon.

In summary:
GO TEAM AVATAR!

Probably one of the best cartoons ever, hands down. If you're under, let's say 40 years old, you probably don't appreciate these older cartoons due to the time these toons came out.

Nothing beats this cat and that mouse. Not even each other

This is seriously amazingly awesome and I couldn't part without it. It has been a piece of my life since I was a little kiddo and, now I am a teen - and I still love it more than ever!

Also, I don't know why it is NOT in the top three! Because it is way better than South Park - especially. Come on, vote for it! And get it to the top because it really, really deserves it!

Wait, The creator of Yogi Bear created this masterpiece of animation. Hannah Barbara is capable of great things. It's the first cartoon I ever watched. All I knew back then was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which is my childhood.
Tom and Jerry is actually funny, but entertaining. I'd rather watch Tom and Jerry than Scooby Doo episodes or season 30 of the Simpsons. I like the Old Simpsons, not Lisa goes Gaga.

Just the funniest thing ever. Simple laughs, making you hooked to the show. You'll watch it for hours and hours, until you realise its just a bunch of sounds and moving pictures. Even after realising it is just drawings, you continue to fall into the deep hole of TOM AND JERRY.
You are never too old or too young for Tom and Jerry.

Oh it disappoints me to see such a great show not in the top 10. I know why this is so low. The people who say "it's to random and colorful. Pen Ward was stoned when he wrote it overlook it and vote for something else. That would be understandable if you never seen the show and based all thoughts of it off of the 2 minutes you've seen. And it's not called "stoned" it is a little something called creativity. If you don't know why this show has such a large adult fanbase, I'll give you the gist. This show is quotable, creative, has likable characters, is funny, clever and a big shocker for the people whom I've described earlier, it is not just "random to be random". If you were to watch it the randomness is explained, and not through huge reveals, just some bits and pieces of continuity slowly revealing the story's history. That's right. It is not a cartoon that just has one weird episode and starts over the next. There is an ever unfolding history that gets you to keep watching. It is, ...more

Do you like adventures like not Dora, not Pokemon, not even Kung Fu Panda. This one show blew everyone away. The name is Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, or Adventure Time for short. The cartoon was crowned the number 1 Cartoon Network show worldwide. Adventure Time was so funny, it has a lot of adventures. The show is almost the equivalent to the Super Mario Bros. , Because they both have kingdoms, they both save princesses, and they both have sports to play. Everyone loved Adventure Time, because it was a complete success, it was the best cartoon over the world. About 28,000-30,000 people loved the show. However it maybe the number 1 cartoon on Cartoon Network worldwide, but it's still not the number 1 cartoon worldwide alone. As we save the best for last.

This show should be higher because of the huge legacy it brought. I like regular show a lot but this show needs to be the #1 rated cartoon of all time for cartoon network because of the impact it had on cartoon network during it's dark age. If it wasn't for Adventure Time, shows like Regular Show, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls wouldn't exist. I like the setting it has and it's story is better than regular show's story. Although I still think regular show is superior in comedy. Adventure time however has my favorite cartoon character friendship of all time. Finn and Jake are just so well written and their friendship is the best.

People's first impressions of this show are usually; "The characters are so annoying." "what the people who made this were high! " "There's nothing special about this, why do people like it? " "This makes no damn sense. Why should I care about a stupid, good for nothing, waste of time like this." and "It's just a bright and colorful distraction for kids under the age of 6. I can't stand watching this brain numbing any longer."... WOW. Just WOW. This show isn't the problem, they are. They want action immediately, and aren't willing to spend brain power to try to figure out the mystery behind all of this. The story behind AT is much more complicated, deep, mysterious, and dark than Gravity Falls could ever dream to be. Ya know why? Because girlfriend doesn't take place after an atomic, nuclear warfare. That's why.

Another show that kicked off this decade. This cartoon was the very FIRST that I grew up with. It takes mundane situations and makes them surreal and zany yet fun. However, that formula has been fairly overused, but when you have a variety of unique characters it can still make the show interesting. The character's misadventures and stories do get touching and amazingly funny at satire, but some can also be redundant with pointless filler. But despite its flaws, Regular Show had a great run and I will cherish it throughout my adulthood forever.

Cartoon Network classics were amazing, however this show blew all of the people away. The show named Regular Show. It became the most popular Cartoon Network cartoon. Everyone loved it, because of the awesome humor, cool lines, and amazing action. Even the characters were amazing. More than 12,000 people loved the show so much. Reason being is that comedy is one of the most popular genres worldwide. The next cartoon isn't from Cartoon Network, but on FOX.

It is the smooth delivery and character development that makes this show enjoyable to watch over all others. While with each new episode most shows seem to reset situations or continue a story line, Regular Show implements scenarios that end in each episode, but still will carry weight later on in the next. We watch as these experiences begin to weigh the choices of the characters and make them all the more enjoyable. Well done.

Regular Show is such a refreshing and entertaining cartoon. It's very consistent with good episodes and doesn't have a lot of bad ones. Too underrated and in my opinion, it's better than most modern cartoons with the exception of Steven Universe. I like most of the characters because the all have different personalities to make the show more likable. I recommend this awesome cartoon for anyone because it's something people can watch at all ages.

If you haven't watched it yet, your missing out. Seriously. A refreshing twist on the usual Lego animation style, awesome characters, and a refreshing and fun plot. I swear I never thought I'll be attracted to a monkey, but here I am. The first time I saw Macaque, I swear my screams reached the heavens. The villains are awesome, the main characters are beautifully designed, and best of all, the fight scenes are too good. If you haven't watched it yet, I urge you to give it a try.

Futurama is what every cartoon should strive to be. The fact that it is currently at 11 on this list is upsetting, this deserves to be in the top 10. It is better than The Simpsons by a mile, in every way. And it didn't outstay it's welcome unlike other cartoons.

This show is all around hilarious. It has the awkward working situations and romances of The Office and Parks and Rec, the surreal adventures of rick and morty, and the tone of the Simpsons. Mix all of that in with with some of the greatest characters in cartoon history (I.e. Bender, Zoidberg) and you've got the greatest cartoon ever. Sure, Looney Toons is awesome, but come on, compared to nudist scammers that want to rob the world of everything valuable by getting bender to go back in time and steal them using a code that breaks the universe is just plain hilarious.

I like this more than The Simpsons and Family Guy because:
1. Unlike in The Simpsons, the characters don't all look like they have hepatitis (though it did make Homer Simpson more iconic)
2. While it can be cruel at times, unlike Family Guy, it isn't like this all the time, and there isn't really any unnecessary violence.
3. Unlike in both Family Guy and The Simpsons, the show didn't overstay its welcome, and while the last season was kind of lackluster (though it had its gems of episodes), it was still great, and it wrapped up the show pretty nicely.
Vote this to #1!

Wow, there is no comparison to this show! It's surreal story-lines, hilarious jokes, and crude but likable characters, make for the greatest cartoon of all time. It's more of an adult show, but it isn't super inappropriate so kids around age ten or eleven can still watch and enjoy it. Hands down, my favorite cartoon ever.

In the 21st century, where cartoons are getting more developed with plots that even threaten to outwit anime, Steven Universe should go straight high along with other great shows like Gravity Falls. Steven Universe handles some great issues in society, such as dictatorship and individuals being pressured. It has creative character designs, beautiful pastel animation, awesome story lines and plots, and most importantly, the emotion & link between the characters. If there is one thing Steven Universe taught me, it's that "perfect" doesn't exist. No one is perfect, and yet we get along with it, and are happy with it. This is the masterpiece of modern cartoons, and even more, the important lesson upon the modern universe.

Steven Universe might look like another run of the mill, bland cartoon where the perfect, invincible Gems are always happy and there's sunshine and rainbows The End... At first glance. Don't judge a book by its cover. Steven Universe is a wonderfully thought out show. It deals with problems such as (but not limited to) growing up and losing a loved one; all in a gentle manner that's appropriate for kids and adults alike. It shows that anyone can be strong, in their own ways. And despite Steven Universe's darker backstory, it still manages to be VERY funny. If you haven't given this show a try, please give it a chance.

Steven universe is literally one of my favorite cartoons of all. When I first found out about Steven universe and how much attention it got from social media I thought this was going to be another boring, dumb overrated cartoon network show... But man how wrong I was after watching some episodes of season one and two, Steven universe is a literal masterpiece, it has the most amazing well developed plots and character along with catchy music played by the creator Rebecca sugar I've seen a lot of cartoons but this one is just gorgeous (p. 's yes I know the Fandom is quite atrocious at times and I know that's what drives people away but, please give this show a try)

I watched the first episode a few months back. I thought it was going to be a dumb show about dumb things. A few weeks later, I was on live T.V. when I saw Mindful Education and wow was I wrong. I started watching all the episodes in order and now there Is only 1 episode that I extremely hate (Cough, Rocknaldo, Cough) It's deals with things no other kids cartoons even thought about doing. Take darker subjects, Maximum Capacity, Full Disclosure, Wayside Motel, Keeping it Together etc. And I love Peridot. Peridot is the best! Make this number 1 you CLODS! Steven Universe also has some really amazing songs. Here comes a thought, Full Disclosure, Stronger than you, Do it for her etc. The show is the only good show on air on CN right now, I host Really hope it doesn't go downhill.

By far the most incredible show ever made. As I get older, I'm introduced to more and more shows. But Teen Titans will always remain my favorite. There's noting like that first show you become obsessed with when you're young- when no show could ever be the same. I love how you can really connect with the characters. Robin and Starfire were always my favorites. The GO version is completely different, and is shown for different reasons. Sometimes I watch it. Not just for a good laugh, but also for something more. I watch the show to look for clues hinting back to the original. In hopes of Robin and Starfire's relationship. I feel like maybe the creators don't show this stuff in hopes we will keep watching and waiting. It was very clever of them. But still the original will always have a special place in my heart. That's who the titans really are to me. That was my childhood. So I'll keep waiting, and hoping. This cartoon was too good. Who knows, maybe Season 6 will come some day!

A lot of shows on this list are amazing cartoons. Ed Edd n Eddy, Futurama, Courage, Scooby Doo, and so many others defined my childhood. However, this one is just something else. The characters were exciting, each with their own personality that developed throughout the course of the show's entire run. GO is decent and I'm glad the newer generations can have their own Teen Titans. But nothing will compare to the specific flaws and skills of each of these characters and the lessons they taught me

This is an excellent show. I loved the final season where it was the Titans and an army of heroes vs the brotherhood of evil and all the villains they ever fought. All of the action, the story, and characters were all just so much fun to watch. My only problem was how they ended the series, leaving us with no clue how Tara is alive.

Personally, one of the BEST cartoons there are! With a detailed plot and amazing characters you really get to know, how can you not fall in love with the animation style and characters! I'm sad that it's so low down the list when (to me) it beats quite a few of the cartoons above.

South park, SpongeBob, samurai jack, courage the cowardly dog, and this and you got yourself the best era for cartoons, the 90s! As a 90s kid I had to give it to this show because of how much as a kid you could relate to this show. Going out and playing with your friends and getting into trouble in your neighborhood was part of being a kid. Unless you're a late 2000s kid then this show won't relate to staying inside all day playing Minecraft and watching adventure time while being on your 700 dollar iPhone with no way of interacting with other people other than Facebook and twitting them ha! Truly sad, but give them like 10 to 15 years and they will see their kids become anti social and hermits and will see what the 90s kids were talking about. I imagine the year 2030 to look a lot like the fatass people in wall e.

This is one of the best Cartoon Network shows, by far. Easy choice. I really relate to Ed, being so derpy and loving buttered toast. Edd is also really funny, and has my favorite voice actor. Eddy is a funny character that has funny schemes, but he can get really mean and annoying every once and a while, and so can Edd. Ed was the one I never didn't like. Rolf, Jonny 2x4, Nazz, Kevin, Jimmy, Sarah, even the Kankers were really fun to watch. Plots and humor were top notch, and that makes it really awesome. Danny Antonucci must be a genius!...MeoMeo

This show is certainly a masterpiece, and remains one of my favorite cartoons of all time. However, I think it is worth mentioning a couple of bad things about this show

-The animation itself is kinda disgusting (though it works out well with the settings.)
-Sarah, just Sarah. I get she is meant to be the brat, but she should be a little bit nicer to her older brother
-season 5, while still being a solid season, had a couple of downright horrendous episodes like smile for the ed.

That's literally all I have to complain about. The rest of this series is pure gold! The characters were hilarious, the voice acting is pretty darn good, and it is so easy to rewatch episodes. Also, it didn't last too long or get cancelled way too soon like most of the good shows did (teen titans, fairly oddparents, etc.) the big picture show ended it with a bang! While I do wish it was still airing, I'm glad it ended when it did since it could have easily lost its magic if it stayed much ...more

These guys were my best friends growing up, taught me to be creative, sociable, and funny in my own way. This will forever be my favorite cartoon no matter what and I hope one day they'll make a remake of the original show because this was a one hit wonder no one can compete with at all, straight up.

Why on earth is this not in the top ten. Sure it's like War of the great cartoons but everything it does is awesome. The theme the plots the characters (especially Gumball, Darwin, Penny and Patrick) Are all pitch perfect. And the only reason this actually manages to beat SpongeBob SquarePants is because squidward is the only character I actually like in the show and just to make it clear, These people have all saved their town at least once. Homer saved Springfield by stopping a bomb with Bart and ended the simpson Griffin grudge. SpongeBob saved bikini bottom once and the Krusty Krab numerous times. But gumball has saved lots of people and made them feel better about themselves. Like when Penny revealed her true form and Gumball had to convince her she wasn't a monster. And has been saved more times than I could count ever. So I think the reign of SpongeBob should end and to me, This is the new champion. Note:Only show that's better is Top Gear.

What? 20th place? I seriously hoped they'll put it in the list. It's my number 1 show and it's much better than SpongeBob! Cute characters, jokes for both adults and children, family-friendly content, realistic backgrounds, realistic situations...this show is the best in my opinion. Even though season 1 was a bit bad, seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 are awesome. The show beats some standards we often see in cartoons: dumb parents (FairlyOddParents, Billy and Mandy), naughty brothers (even though Gumball is a bit selfish, Darwin is always there to show him the right way), comedy based on fart effects and pranks...I rate this show 10/10. It's the best show ever!

An absolute work of art. I loved every second of it, and every joke was smart and well thought. Sometimes I would go on laughing forever. Every plot if either cute, adventure-ish, or absolutely hilarious. Gumball is a great character because he is just SO relatable, and he has his flaws. Darwin is nice, but sometimes too nice, and that's his flaw. Anais's smart remarks are funny, Richard's jokes are comedy gold, and Nicole is one of the funniest characters with her anger and all. I love Gumball and Penny, especially in 'The Shell', and each character has made at least one joke that's made me laugh, and all in all it's just beautiful.

This show is so underrated! It's AMAZING and needs to be in the top ten! Sure, it doesn't beat SpongeBob, but that is not my opinion. The animation is clearly better, and it beats the new SpongeBob episodes. I understand that SpongeBob is a classic, but look at the present, maybe even the future. Let it go. This show is great for all ages! It is special and unique and absalutely awesome. It is realatable and have very cute characters. I love this show! People underestimate it so much and look at all the negative things, that they forget to look at all the amazing things this show has already accomplished. I'm soon, that by a little while, it will at least be in the top 15.

An amazing show that for some reason just couldn't stay on television. Fans brought it back a few years later, in 2006, and brought back reruns on nicktoons a few years after they stopped showing those. Definitely needs more episodes, because although I love it, seeing the same episodes over and over gets old really fast. All in all, its one of the greats in the era which I consider to have come out with the highest concentration of hilarious and edgy cartoons, 97-03. Back when SpongeBob had its original writers, as well. If the creator and the writers hadn't left after the movie, I doubt SpongeBob would get any of the flack it's gotten these past few years; or if they just ended it after the movie, it would've easily been the best cartoon of all time, even surpassing this one.

Actually, I think the movie would've been a good stopping point for the series. There've been a few good episodes after 2004, but EVERY episode before the movie was a classic. Invader zim ending was kind ...more

This show is one of the best T.V. shows I've ever seen, along with SpongeBob, Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe. Infact, this might me my favorite show out of all of them. A show about an alien that it's own race doesn't like with a stupid robot who likes waffles, an obvious descise, and ONE person who knows he's an alien, it's comedy gold! Plus, the plots are hilarious. They made a guy eating waffles for 11 minutes funny. Any show that can do that is amazing. Zim is a hilarious villain that we end up rooting for, Dib makes you laugh ever time his plans fail, Gaz is... Well, Gaz, and GIR is the cutest and dumbest thing ever, witch is amazing. I wish this show was still on the air because it was AMAZING! You get stuff like Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, SpongeBob, and all of the sudden you have a show that nails dark humor. Every time it managed to get it right. They made going back in time and slowly killing someone funny because it was with rubber pigs. This show is a brilliant work of art ...more

Why isn't this higher?

This has to be one of the most creative shows of all time at it also features great 3D animation for something that has been made in 2001. The jokes were also good and the voice acting is 10/10

It's a shame it got canceled so early. I know many shows but as far as I know nothing I've seen is quite like Invader Zim. Not even Kid vs Kat, a show I grew up with (Kid vs Kat ripped off Invader Zim) I don't think there will ever be a show to have the same energy this one has.

Not really suitable for little kids unless they like dark stuff but I think it's good for teenagers and adults.

This show is a good one.

It is unique in how it is darker than many other cartoons. Like in the dark harvest, in which Zim takes humans organs in an attempt to keep his secret of being an alien safe.

It has some amazing characters!

Zim, as stated before, is an alien. He is kind if incompetent in many fields, and rather egotistical. But, he also has positive traits, being incredibly good with technology.

Gir is a defective robot that has made his way into the hearts of many who watch the show. He is a chaotic bot who is much like a child. Loud, but loveable.

Dib, a kid who (tries) to persue the paranormal. Also the only who seems to able to tell that Zim is an alien. Smarter than the rest of his race, but has some of the worst luck.

Another thing!
This. Cartoons. Humor.

If you like dark humor, this is a show that delivers. Weather it be about life, or someone being sent to their doom. There are better examples but that's what I could ...more

A big part of my childhood, Scooby-Doo is the best cartoon ever. All characters have different characteristics and personality traits that make them unique and interesting. The best thing is the humor is of good taste, unlike many cartoons today.

Scooby Doo has lasted longer then any cartoon that you have put on this list and AT LEAST deserves to be top two if not number one. The two most iconic cartoon characters in the world are Mickey Mouse and Scooby Doo and you need to respect this show way more then it has been given credit for on this list. Without Scooby on this list, it is irrelevant and just straight up garbage.

This is the best Scooby-Doo cartoon out there! I loved it! Funny, scary, and interesting, all mixed into one great cartoon masterpiece! I should be number 5 in all cartoons, 1 in old cartoons, and 10/10 on a scale of greatness. Hanna-Barbera's greatest creation is this amazing cartoon that deserves to be in the top ten! Thank you William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for making such a great cartoon!

Scooby doo has been the only cartoon that I continue to watch even now. Watching this show when I was five years old is the reason why mystery is my favorite genre today. For many people including myself 'those meddling kids' will always have a VERY special place in our hearts. Love you Scooby Doo x

If you need a reason why Courage is one of the best cartoons of all time, check out these episodes:
Freaky Fred, Courage In The Big Stinking City, King Ramses Curse, Perfect, Remembrance Of Courage Past and Last Of The Starmakers. All fantastic episodes the last three are the saddest episodes of the series.

There's just something about Courage that makes you love him. The show is definitely creepy at times but somehow the little pink pup always pulls through and makes you want to keep watching. Very, VERY unique cartoon with a vivid world in the middle of Nowhere

This is my personal favorite shows, It is very artistic and has an abstract mood and visuals. A very creative show that is loved by many critics. Plus has the saddest Series finally I've ever seen.

I only watched it when I was little. (I need to watch it again) But I need to watch it again! From what I remember it was funny but it freaked me out, but I would probably like it better now.

Family Guy is a perfect definition of my humor: it is politically incorrect, yet still not only features shock value content but also silly and goofy humor. Peter is a random and childish/childlike character who can barely say a word that doesn't seem hilariously stupid. It works because it sparks through that Seth MacFarlane is in fact an intelligent person with awesome views on the world, and is pretty much laughing at the characters and world he created, not so much with them. Family Guy may have gotten more graphic over the years, but the goofiness has stayed the same. It is the way it is delivered that makes it work so well.

Speaking of comedy, this show became so popular, it came on FOX. The name of that show is Family Guy. Why is Family Guy one of the popular cartoons worldwide? Reason being is because of the humor. But like South Park, there is some stuff inappropriate for kids. But most adults loved it, and became a worldwide phenomenon. It was crowned the most popular show on FOX, because more than 15,500 people around the world was so amazed of the show. However it's still number 5, because it stole it from one of the cartoons coming up next.

I know the newer seasons aren't God but what this show was in its first 5 seasons were incredible. Family Guy is definitely one of the greatest cartoons of all time. The older seasons are just comedic gold.

So far on this website I have been negative about the show, well that's because of the modern episodes, and they're HORRIBLE! All of the characters went downhill! However, this IS a best list so I'm going to talk about the positive aspects of the show before it got uncanceled. The humor was top-notch and the characters were likable. It also had a charm to it. Modern episodes -10/10. Old episodes 8/10.

Phone and Ferb is THE best cartoon for both parents and kids. It's characters are entertaining and the whole "did you know" aspect of each episode is great for parents who find themselves watching with their kids. It's not mindless, but still fun. GREAT show.

Even Though this show is popular, what I really liked about it was it was the only Best Bro Show (In my 2009-2014 Gen) that wasn't ruined by a girl (other than SpongeBob). I'm not being hateful, but in cool shows like Gumball and Regular Show, halfway through the show they decided to throw in a girlfriend for Gumball, Mordecai and Rigby. Which made the dynamic duos grow apart. I like how Jeff Swampy Marsh and David (or Dave) Povenmire didn't put in a lovelife with Phineas. I mean there was a time towards the end of the series where Phineas kissed Isabella. But I didn't get enraged because that episode came out the week before the Finale.

Phineas and Ferb starts the countdown, because although it is a popular Disney Channel show, but it's still not enough for the most popular shows right now. Most people loved the show, it made some of them watch Disney Channel more often. It just goes to show that Phineas and Ferb is a funny comedy, and lots of people in the world love comedy. More than 5,000 people worldwide loved the show, but the show is still in danger because it's still number 10 in the countdown.

This show is absolutely amazing and my favorite cartoon of all time! I love this cartoon with all my heart! It's funny, creative, and every character is fun & likable. I recommend this cartoon not just to kids, but to EVERYONE! I also recommend the first 8 seasons of the Simpsons, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: The Legend Of Korra, Wander Over Yonder, Adventure Time, The Amazing World Of Gumball, Star Vs the Forces Of Evil, Lonney Toons, And Tom & Jerry if you can find them.

Honestly, I'm not generally into adult swim. I know that's kind of strange, but it's just that they're so inconsistent. They release one great show like robot chicken, and then they release Squidbillies. They release Venture Bros, then they release Mr. Pickles. But out of the shows they've released, this is far and wide the best. It has sharp, clever humor, fantastic plots (I mean, how do you beat switching dimensions because you ruined your old planet with a love potion? Why, just add parasites that infest people's memories! ), great characters and awesome action scenes. The only way to describe this master piece is Futurama meets American Dad, and they get cross bred with Invader Zim, and that result is then ate by Ren and Stimpy. And if that doesn't sound awesome, then you're weird.

Bizarre and funny. Cool and smart. Amazingly animated and the voices are great. Impressive and awesome. Creative and sometimes even heartfelt. This cartoon has deep characters and it's mysterious, like whats behind Rick's giant mind. I only just started watching this cartoon 2 weeks ago and, even though I've only seen the first season on dvd, This is my new favorite cartoon of all time. Things like Regular Show and Spongebob have nothing on this extremely good cartoon. My 2 favorite minor characters of all time have to be Dr. Bloom and Snowball. I could write a 700 page book on how much I love this cartoon. I am watching it right now. Please don't judge me on everything that I've said. Goodbye, and Wubba Lubba Dub Dubs!

If this is seriously below Spongebob and the Powerpuff Girls, I'm killing myself because this is the best cartoon on television right now. I swear, it's the funniest, smartest, and most creative show out there, and if you think The Simpsons is better, I'm sorry, but I will think very low of you unless it's for nostalgia or childhood memories reasons.

This needs to be in the Top Ten, seriously it is my now new favorite T.V. show of all time with its clever humor, great dialogue, interesting storyline and how the characters aren't too complex but the things they do and what they accomplish are complex yet clever and make sense at the same time. It is the Simpsons of our generation!

Perfect, perfect, PERFECT! A great cartoon that defies many stereotypes! First of all, when you look at the main character, you think that Star is another blonde-haired, blue-eyed Disney princess. Well, she is all that, but, move over, Sleeping Beauty! There's more to this princess! Instead of sitting in her throne and waiting for her prince charming, she kicks monster butt with her friend, Marco. And you don't see something like this too often! This show is also a lot funnier and more original than some other cartoons on today. This show is great! I highly suggest it!

First I thought this was a dumb cartoon cause I looked at random clips of there episodes on youtube a while back. A couple weeks back my internet friend suggested cartoons to me that I should watch, she brought up this one, then I said to myself
"Why not I watch the very first episode and see how it goes"
So then I did, then I thought it was pretty hilarious, so then I got more into the series and it was pretty worthy to watch! It's a good cartoon to watch, I watched it because I was bored all the time, so if your bored or have any spare time and have nothing to do in it, you should go watch this

This show is the next Steven Universe its fairly new so many people don't know about it but let me tell you that this shows first season is very promising! The show has magic, comedy, and an actual plot near the end of the season. This show got a 7.9/ 10 rating which is REALLY good and it deserves it for sure! The main character Star is an awesome character and her companions such as Marco and others are equally as fun. This show is worth your time...just get to the season 1 finale!

(Spoiler Warning)
The best Disney show I have ever seen! (Well, probably because this is the only show on Disney that I have got into by myself)
It shows characters with flaws and character development. For example, Star is a girl sent from Mewni. Marco isn't comfortable with her at first but then falls in love in the seasons 3 and 4. This should at least have a season 5, or a movie. I try to get myself into drawing art for it when I can, and this is just my opinion. Please do not hate. Also I love underrated shows. And SvtFoE; is just one of them.

This show seemed to do something that lots of other shows would struggle to do. It was super boring at the first season or two, but after that it got better and better all the way to its end! The Jungle Movie was great and ended the whole franchise so perfectly! I just wish they would have made a scene where Arnold finds out that Helga was Cecile this whole time from the Valentine's Day episode.

Hey Arnold is one of the best cartoons I've ever known. I loved it as a kid, and I love it as a 20-year-old adult. It's full of little hints, and all of the episodes are entertraining and interesting. Kids should watch cartoons like this because I learned a lot from this as a kid.

I love watching this show! Sid is the funniest character and when he cries it sounds hilarious. I'm sad there weren't more seasons, because it could go on until season 20 something if there were.

This show should be in the top ten of the list! This show is the best show ever and I recently bought the whole series on dvd and it's amazing! This show deserves more love

There are so many comments here talking about stereotypes, which it's the first mistake, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is unique on its style. This cartoon show breaks those stereotypes most of you talk about, so that just let me know you DO NOT know the show as well, and I'm not going to tell all of you "go and watch more episodes" no, just watch a documentary about the show, it's called "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony" and you'll see why this cartoon show does not have those stereotypes. Let me tell you, if you say this cartoon show has stereotypes, then you don't know any single thing about it. By the way, one episode for all of you, "Bridle Gossip" from the season 1. I hope you enjoy it!

Honestly, most people who hate the show haven't watched it at all. They just see it as something targeted for preschool girls. And, there is some truth to that. The original show was made for that age group. The episodes were nothing more than an extended advertisement for the MLP toy line.

But that was gen. 1 MLP. The show in question is gen. 4. Gen. 4 was made to actually be a cartoon. Though, they still supported the toy line, that was never the gen. 4 creator, Lauren Faust's, main focus. She wanted to make a show that broke the expectations and cliches for all the past generations of this show.

To quote the Last Jedi, "Let the past die, kill it. It's the only way to become who you are truly meant to be."

That's what this show does. It doesn't care about where it came from or what everyone expects it to be. The story becomes something of its own telling. Unique and radiant among the countless other works.

My Little Pony- it's a show about ponies, magic, ...more

I hope it gets cancelled soon! No more bronies, no more ponies, no more MLP FOREVER! Once it gets off air, hopefully by 2020, I can party and throw fireworks everywhere and humanity will be back to normal just like the good old days! The fan base is way worse than the show and there is so much human stupidity over this horrid influence. By the way, I like old school nostalgia cartoons and non-bronies. We can celebrate the cancellation of the show that will happen soon and we will be free from this horrid pony and brony mess all over the internet and the world once and for all!

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is my favorite show ever. Even though I am 12 years old I still watch it. The show is enjoyable and is fun to watch. I am mad when people make fun of the show. It is just a show. But I just seem to fit in the brony categorie. I even collect the toys and they are amazing quality. The show does not have many annoying episodes. The show is coming to an end this year though and that is sad, but the show will end with good memory. I even enjoy the equestrian girls.

Top five favorite shows/ movies

1. My Little Pony Favorite Is Magic

2. The Hunger Games franchise

3. X-Men franchise

4. Pokemon

5. Ninjago

Ml P will forever be my favorite T.V. show.

I loved the weirdness of it. That's exactly the power of cartoons. Also it is great to learn about life in an impossible way. Great show. Until season 5, then they start to ruin it.

This T.V. Show was very awesome in the first 5 seasons, but then Season 6 they started to run out of ideas, by introducing Poof. By season 9, I lost interest, but do NOT get me started on Season 10. I hate season 10 with a passion. It ruined my childhood, a bad theme song, getting rid of the good secondary characters, and introducing CHLOE! Now I'm so glad this show will be cancelled soon...

This deserves to be higher. Though I don't like Chloe and the show's recent seasons, this show should be at least in the top 15. Honestly, I think this show is better than Adventure Time.

Dude, this deserves to be higher. It's lower than Adventure Time and Family Guy, which is weird in my opinion. I think it should be between 15-10. Very good show.
