Top Ten Most Disturbing Animated Shows
The Top Ten
Courage the Cowardly Dog is an American animated horror comedy television series created by John R. Dilworth for Cartoon Network as part of the network's Cartoon Cartoons block. 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.
This is no doubt the scariest and creepiest cartoon network comedy show, also very weird one as well( top 3 probably).. The atmosphere is pretty tight, helped a lot by the colors and art style. The storylines and the character are also pretty dark and scary. And the endings are many times "sad/bad endings"... Something that you rarely see in cartoons, similar with batman beyond from this point of view.
Also the best ever CN comedy series after spaced out, with only adventure time contending.
Sanjay and Craig is an American animated comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016, for three seasons and 60 episodes. The series is about a 12-year-old boy named Sanjay Patel who owns a talking pet snake named Craig. 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.
This show is creepy. Craig kind of looks cool, but the rest of this is so disgusting. What is American television coming to.
This really should be number 1.
Scream day, going inside a digestive system, picking their noses and eating it, etc. it's all disgusting along with Breadwinners.
This show never ends
Happy Tree Friends is an adult animated flash series created and developed by Aubrey Ankrum, Rhode Montijo, Kenn Navarro and Warren Graff for Mondo Media. The only show to make me actually worry about my life, it's a slapstick but instead of the big ladder, it's a stick with spikes, and a lot of other "fun" creative deaths, it has a huge fanbase, but it's made me very very sad, avoid if you're young or weak to gore
Parents beware, one of the goriest cartoons, this show Is definitely not for anyone under the age of 12, or really anyone who doesn't like seeing blood, because there's a lot of it.
It is so messed up and very disturbing
I mean bunnies getting stuck in a tree hanging by its eye
This show is bull crap, It's shown as a kids show but has people getting DECAPITATED and giant thumbtacks getting stabbed into their heads, NEVER ever watch this show, no matter what, it made it onto the evolution of cartoon violence list twice, for 2003 and 2009, thank god it ended last month
"I love it when the red water comes out" that line literally had me up for 3 days straight and had to go to the doctor's for staying up for that long. It's creepy yo
Really weird, there's an idea that he's radioactive and it's easy to see some of it is in his head. Though he's lonely so it makes sense he has imaginary friends.
This is just about the creepiest show out there. Salad Fingers talks to inanimate objects and actually enjoys to feel pain.
This guy had an orgasm stabbing his finger with a needle. How is this not number one.
Breadwinners is a 2014 animated comedy television series produced by Nickelodeon. It is about the adventures of SwaySway and Buhdeuce, two ducks who drive in a rocket van delivering bread to their customers. This proves that "animators" today want to make kids dumb and learn about butts... Such a disgrace
2 Retards delivering bread...
Gross, gross, grosser.
Shake your ass? like what
Mr. Pickles is an American animated television series created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart for Adult Swim. The series revolves around the Goodman family, especially their 6-year-old son named Tommy and the family's border collie, the demonic Mr. Pickles. The series was picked up for 10 quarter-hour ...read more. Brother just showed me this show should be number 1 and should when a Emmy
No dip its disturbing! The most disgusting and messed up cartoon ever created! Deserves to be number one
This is not helping my already strong fear of dogs...
This should be number 1!
South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. The show is about four boys, who are Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and their adventures in South Park, Colorado. Blood and gore and woodland creatures that give birth to the anti-christ is just plain creepy.
Too much controversial stuff, shouldn't have even been made.
Sometimes American's are really bad at comedy, this for example.
Nah it is not disturbing at all. Cthulhu did creep me out, though.
Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR. 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.
That one episode where he steals kids' guts scarred me for life. Bonus points for the chicken costume episode and the one with the fast food pig. So disgusting I hate it
From Old School cartoons, Invader Zim is the most messed up, even more than Courage, no doubt.
Adventure Time is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio)—a dog with the magical power to change shape ...read more. 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
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
I can relate to ren in ren seeks help I can get like that sometimes.
I strangely find that this show actually has some hidden beauty in it. I especially love the episode Ren Seeks Help. I've also seen and love every cartoon others deemed as "disturbing" on this list.
Episodes like Naked Beach Frenzy or Ren Seeks Help do count in deed.
Ren Seeks help legit ruined my day when I watched it...
The Contenders
Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter (Idiotic Dad) and Lois (Nagging Wife), their children Meg (Socially Awkward Daughter) Chris (Idiotic Son), and Stewie ...read more.

Mr. Meaty is a Canadian-American television series created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley. The show centers on two lazy teenage boys named Josh Redgrove and Parker Dinkleman, who work at a fast food restaurant. 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.
This isn't animated, they're puppets.
Uncle Grandpa is an American animated television series created by Peter Browngardt for Cartoon Network that premiered on the network on September 2, 2013. The series is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same name from The Cartoonstitute. Uncle grandpa is a molester, enough said

The Mighty B is an American animated television series co-created by Amy Poehler, Cynthia True and Erik Wiese for Nickelodeon. The series centers on Bessie Higgenbottom, an ambitious Honeybee girl scout who believes she will become The Mighty B (a superhero) if she collects every Honeybee badge. This show was nostalgic for me, but now that I look back I realize one episode I remember that when I was a kid, I thought was really messed up
Robot Chicken is an American stop motion sketch comedy television series, created and executive produced by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich along with co-head writers Douglas Goldstein and Tom Root for Adult Swim. 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
Robot Chicken is Awesome!
Messed up I saw it when I was 10
Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. This show can be disturbing at points, but Like Courage the Cowardly Dog it's the good kind of disturbing
The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. "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.
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
There was a banned episode about the duo and a fat man smoking!
This is already on the list stupid.
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is an American animated television series created by Thurop Van Orman for Cartoon Network that premiered in North America on June 5, 2008. It stars creator Thurop Van Orman as the voice of Flapjack, a naive young boy who was raised by a whale named Bubbie and ...read more. 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
That episode where everyone got bit by Flapjack's rat was beyond disturbing! I had nightmares about it as a kid for a week!
Rabbids Invasion (French: Les Lapins Crétins : Invasion) is a French/American animated television series which premiered on August 3, 2013, on Nickelodeon. The series began airing on Nicktoons during its second season in late 2015. On June 23, 2017, the series finale ended during its third season. ...read more. Rabbids are overused.
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is an American animated television series developed by Klasky Csupo for Nickelodeon. 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.
Aaahh! what is that?! My eyes are bleed!
Beavis and Butt-Head is an American animated sitcom created and designed by Mike Judge. The series originated from Frog Baseball, a 1992 short film by Judge originally aired on Liquid Television. 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.
Oggy and the Cockroaches is a French animated comedy series produced by Xilam and Gaumont Film Company. This show is as disturbing as happy tree friends. Only no blood and veins are in it.
They had a picture of a naked lady in one episode.
I don't understand why people find this show scary or creepy, it's really not. This is however a weird show in the sense that there is nothing like this out there, combining weird, flat humour with a serious set up makes this a unique show that is very underrated. What makes this show weird and unique is the fact that is actually serious though it's comedic. And also the comedy is very different from what we saw before. However it is not and never was disturbing, scary or creepy, just unique and weird.
This show has toilet humor
CatDog is an American animated television series created by Peter Hannan for Nickelodeon. The series depicts the life of conjoined brothers, with one half being a cat and the other a dog. 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
The nightmare episode was disturbing enough. Especially with the "the end" sign covered in blood!
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (also known as Billy & Mandy) is an American animated television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network, and is the 14th of the network's Cartoon Cartoons (albeit namely when it was part of Grim & Evil; the show is considered separate from Cartoon Cartoons ...read more. One of the most disturbing, scariest and creepiest shows I have watched as a kid. Don't know for sure how it holds up today, but I had a decent age when I watched this show, so I guess is still one of the most disturbing kids shows up there.
I loved this show as a kid and I still love it now, but that to me when I was a kid was like the conjuring to me now it was satisfyingly creepy
This show scared me for life as a kid. Just watch it for yourself and see what I mean.
This show is just utterly disgusting. I cannot watch it while eating a meal
The Brothers Grunt is a Canadian-American animated comedy television series by Ed, Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci that originally aired from August 15, 1994 to April 9, 1995 on MTV. (Reaction to watchin this)

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is an American animated sitcom created by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro for Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. 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.
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!

Elfen Lied is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Lynn Okamoto. It was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump from June 2002 to August 2005, with the 107 chapters collected into twelve tankōbon volumes. I hated the scene where the three boys beat Lucy's dog to death. It was so cruel, and then lucy got mad and killed everyone.
This one of the most disturbing shows out there even worst than adventure time.
Plain disgusting!
Other teen thought it was cool...
It's so sick!
This show should be number one. It may be anime but it's a s disturbing as they gey. It's about a diclonius(which are these expeimental clones of humans who are usually tortured by human scientists in the future)named Lucy who has escaped from her lab and she is depressedand in order to ease her depression she kills humans but most notably she kills people who are happy like families. This series has more nudity than any other anime besides ninja scroll.

I saw two episodes. It was okay. But what I heard about it, it is the WOR$T
Mega Babies is a Canadian animated series created by the Tremblay brothers, Christian and Yvon, who previously had made the H-B's show SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. This is an early Elsagate cartoons. StiffViolence, toilet humor and more materials way to beyond PG entertainment. This is Rugrats + toilet humor Mega Babies is like a ball of rolled up dough and Rugrats is a finally baked and toasted delicious Bagel
I swear, the creators of this show literally have a fetish for using literally as much gross-out humor as humanly possible.

This show has got have one the ugliest characters models in shows period. Also the fights, are not cool, seriously who wants to see a animal's butt get kick by some humans. Now that's ANIMAL ABUSE. Also they can't even make a realistic rabbit or lion. And yes, it's horrible and I've seen episodes of it.
That is one dumb move right there for Cartoon Network! They decided to put a crappy superhero show that was made by Germans! Thanks a lot, Hitler! Can't wait till this distrubing show gets cancelled soon!

Over the Garden Wall is an American animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. This show was one of the creepiest Cartoon Network shows I've ever seen. It plays on depression and quite frankly should be played on adult swim, not the kids channel.

Made me have nightmare
