Top Ten Comedic Cartoons That Should Have a Serious Episode

This is a list of cartoons that should have a serious episode instead of the usual humorous episodes. The episode could still have humor, but it is taken more seriously than usual.
The Top Ten
1 Teen Titans Go

I agree, the original Titans were serious but not this one. All they do is sing lame songs, eat pizza, sit, do stupid dancing and random stuff. The animators once made a serious episode but it didn't turn out the way it should of.

Maybe more people would begin to like Teen Titans Go if they did an episode that was more serious like the old show. It would probably be a half-hour episode. Slade would be a very good choice as the villain for the episode.

Maybe this show should end up as Winx Club, Steven Universe and Mysticons to make it more darker, but somehow it tried SO HARD to be dark and serious.

There's an episode called "Let's Get Serious", but it's not that serious.

2 The Amazing World of Gumball The Amazing World of Gumball is a British-Australian-German-American-Irish children's animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network.

The show seems to be becoming darker. I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming "The Downer" is a serious episode.

3 Wander Over Yonder Wander Over Yonder is an American animated television series on Disney XD. Created by Craig McCracken, it follows Wander and his best friend and steed Sylvia. Adventurous and optimistic, Wander rides across the galaxy to help persons live freely, against the intentions of Lord Hater to rule the universe.

A serious episode sounds really epic!

4 Sonic Boom Sonic Boom is a computer-animated television series, produced by Sega of America, Inc. and Technicolor Animation Productions in collaboration with Lagardère Thématiques and Jeunesse TV, respectively for Cartoon Network, Canal J, and Gulli.

Sonic has always been known for having both serious and comedic moments.

5 T.U.F.F. Puppy T.U.F.F. Puppy is a cartoon created by Butch Hartman. It ran on Nickelodeon from October 2, 2010 until April 4, 2015. It focused on Dudley Puppy and his partner Kitty Katswell as they protected Petropolis under the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force, or T.U.F.F.

Fairly Odd Parents has had serious episodes before so why not?

6 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated children's television series based on the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. The show follows a studious unicorn (later an alicorn) pony named Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong) and her friends Applejack (Ashleigh Ball), Rarity (Tabitha St. Germain), Fluttershy (Andrea Libman), Rainbow Dash (Ball), Pinkie Pie (Libman), and dragon assistant Spike (Cathy Weseluck). They travel on adventures and help others around Equestria while solving problems that arise in their own friendships.

While the show has certainly had some darker episodes, it would be interesting if they made an episode concerning Applejack's parents.

7 SpongeBob SquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator the late Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. SpongeBob is currently the most popular show on Nickelodeon, as well as the longest running show, running for 23 years, and is beginning its 13th season. The show revolves around a sea sponge called SpongeBob SquarePants and his adventures under the sea. The show is considered to be one of the best Nickelodeon and cartoon shows of all time.

Maybe it could be about Mermaid Man's death.

I could easily see it happening later in the series.

9 Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry is an American animated series of comedy short films created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Best known for its 161 theatrical short films by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the series centers on a rivalry between the title characters Tom, a cat, and Jerry, a mouse. Many shorts also feature several recurring characters.

They commit suicide...how is that NOT serious!?

It would certainly be interesting.
