Top Ten Most Disturbing Animated Shows

I love this show so I guess I am a disturbing little girl who will show up in your nightmares or maybe courage is great and I surrounded by crazy people

Most of the shows on this list are on Adult Swim. I'm thinking this list should be made for kids' animated shows - that's what makes it even more disturbing. Courage the Cowardly Dog.. I grew up with this show. Creepy as hell. Especially the "Return the Slab" and "Freaky Fred" episodes?

I was so scared of this show when I was younger. Some of the episodes were just plan disturbing and surreal. I don't know how they got on Cartoon Network.

I remember how I used to love Courage for this show's creativity... even though I was really young when that show was still there, so I was terrified of it, and to be honest, I still am. - redhawk766

I remember there was this one episode that I never wanted to see. But I remember it was disturbing like hell

The dark harvest episode alone probably gave it this spot.

From Old School cartoons, Invader Zim is the most messed up, even more than Courage, no doubt.

I love the dark humor and plot lines in this show. I mean, Zim has attempted to murder Dib at some points. That is terrifying, mainly because Dib is my favorite haha.

Episodes like Naked Beach Frenzy or Ren Seeks Help do count in deed.

Ren Seeks help legit ruined my day when I watched it...

CRAZIEST SHOW I EVER WATCH! I thought it going to be in the top 10.

Ren Seeks Help ruined life for me - redhawk766

This show scared the hell out of me as a kid! It was so creepy!

This show honestly scared me as a child.

The characters look terrifying, and the plots are horrible. Enough said. - Powerfulgirl10

SO CREEPY! NEVER WATCHED​ IT!

There were some real screwed up moments in this, like ren saying "I could kill him, with these hands, but I love him" or don't wiz on the electric fence but it's still great though

"Adult Party Cartoon" is already on the list but that and the Nicktoons version of "Ren and Stimpy" are two almost completely different things stupid.

This is already on the list stupid.

Stupid cartoon.

It is so messed up and very disturbing
I mean bunnies getting stuck in a tree hanging by its eye

Don't let the cute, cuddly creatures fool you, this show is like Conker's Bad Fur Day. Flippy holds a Machete covered in blood, and soon the forest will be covered in blood and guts.

Me and my sister had no idea what this was besides what Netflix said. Watched it. It became Jeff the Killer. - sdgeek2003

When I was at least 10 or 11, all my friends kept on saying, "Watch Happy Tree Friends, it's funny. It's pure blood, but it's really cool! " To this day, I have regrets - redhawk766

Blood and gore and woodland creatures that give birth to the anti-christ is just plain creepy.

It's not a kid's show. Just to comment, I had to vote (I didn't want to). Not, it went from number 3 to number 2. Sorry... - bunnyluv070

Too much controversial stuff, shouldn't have even been made.

Nah it is not disturbing at all. Cthulhu did creep me out, though. - Extractinator04

Never heard of this, but the guy on the bottom left looks like Pop Fizz, the guy at the top looks like Eye Five, and the guy on the right looks like he has a dildo for a head. - Extractinator04

Aaahh! what is that?! My eyes are bleed!

A kid and a dog in a universe where everything is possible. But all these random possibilities are creepy and disturbing mostly the song that plays at the end.

It's REALLY disturbing, there are creepy scenes and everything is connected in a dark way. it's very hopeless, as the characters all lose their sanity / humanity. also, it's hopeless in the sense that the world can't be rebuilt, there is no afterlife, and there are mutants everywhere that will try to kill you.

I don't really think this show is that disturbing. Except that episode where everyone disappears, that was a nightmare fest. And where the witch turns into an apple and when the other witches eat it there are BONES in it. Creepy. But mostly this show is silly and funny - SammySpore

Really? People think Adventure Time is disturbing? Compared to Courage the Cowardly Dog, South Park, Ren and Stimpy, CatDog, Sanjay and Craig and a whole lot of other creepier shows? Honestly, this show is weak compared to them - TwilightKitsune

I just hate it what can I saw. Its stupid and it makes me feel like the younger kiddos will grow up with some mental problems.

Lord hotcakes was one of the scariest parts of the show. He looked so dang creepy!

The ugly close ups of the characters and strange voices always freaked me out

Nah it is just dumb, not disturbing. - Extractinator04

Uncle grandpa is a molester, enough said

A show with pedophile references. Enough said. - redhawk766

This show is terrible. - Powerfulgirl10

The Pedophile Show - Extractinator04

Dolls that kill each other, blood and gore.

When I was about 7-10, the intro disturbed me. I was so frightened by the scientists eyes and just his animation

Messed up I saw it when I was 10

I have seen some, yeah it is disturbing. All of our childhood characters are killed but I always laugh no matter what. #SUCKMYROBOTCHICKEN - Extractinator04

Brother just showed me this show should be number 1 and should when a Emmy

Genocide caused by a DOG

This should be number 1!

This show is terrible - ChuckECheese

Where does the cat and the dog potty at because they need butt-tucks and genitals to poop and pee with? Using their mouths are a lot gross compare to Johnny Knoxville's Jack*ss!

The Splat actually made theories about that on Bark Week. Literally. - Powerfulgirl10

That's what peter griffin described catdog. "That would be like a living hell brian! "

The animation is enough to give you nightmares

It's weird, but good. - Powerfulgirl10

There was an episode where they stuck their tongues in each other's bellybuttons and started eating the lint and sloshed it around in their mouths. - Seddeu

This show is creepy. Craig kind of looks cool, but the rest of this is so disgusting. What is American television coming to.

Breadwinners, Teen Titans Go! Your new sibling is here! Sanjay and Craig! - mayamanga

So weird

While a very funny show, most of the time, it's a creepy as Hell.

There's an episode where the Aqua Teens go on vacation and Carl has to baby-sit Meatwad's dolls, AND HE GETS HIS SKIN RIPPED OFF!

Yeah, screwed up show. But great. - MattBoo

Totally disgusting. Should be number one.

I'll never wanna eat at McDonald's again with taliking skakes, fries and a meat ball that hasn't cook over a year! Gross!

I really like the animation style and the look of the characters besides the two main, also the characters are actually seem to be like real world people and are quite well thought out, all except the two main. Yep, they are pretry disturbing.

Get this one off the list! Beavis and Butthead is funny! (You spelled beavis wrong. )

Keep it on the list, American's fail at humour.
