Top 10 Movies, TV Shows, Video Games and Music Albums about People Being Driven Insane By Suburban Life

The Top Ten
1 A Clockwork Orange

Believe it or not, here's what the film's incredibly bizarre title is actually referring to: in the theatrically nonexistent prelude to the film, a certain person (a woman, if I remember correctly) that just so happened to be observing Alex DeLarge's behavior commented that he looked like an immensely ripe and lively person full of...AHEM...juice and vigor (a fruit, if you will, hence why he parades around town with a bunch of other equally flamboyant men, with all of them also wearing bondage suits in the process, and performs all kinds of obscenely kinky BDSM acts on his victims at the beginning of the film)...

but that in reality, the crushingly oppressive totalitarianism of modern society (hold on, let me just get this irritating stick out of my rear) had degenerated him into the soulless machine that he gradually becomes more and more of over the course of the film (well, up until its ending, at least, but I digress)

2 The Shining

Personally, I think that the mini-series and book handled it more realistically, but the film handled it MUCH more entertainingly.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

3 Rick & Morty Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim.

You know, one of these days, I would really like to transform everyone on this entire planet into a hideous eldritch Cronenberg abomination with melted slime and tentacles where almost every single one of its body parts should be; if nothing else, it'd certainly break up the monotony of my current life

4 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

EASILY the best non-anime-themed Nicktoon ever (Hey Arnold comes pretty close, though)

Rocko himself is one of the biggest reasons why

5 South Park 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.

One of the most boring and peaceful towns on Earth, turned into a weirdness magnet the sheer magnitude of which would make even the middle of Nowhere, Kansas from Courage The Cowardly Dog blush

6 Danganronpa Danganronpa: The Animation is a 2013 anime television series based on Spike Chunsoft's murder mystery video game, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

The game where a bunch of people are locked up in suburban paradise and are forced to murder each other left and right (regardless of whatever romantic/stalker relationships they might end up building with each other) in order to retain their suburban privileges (definitely not the first time that something like this has been done, but definitely the best execution as far as the games are concerned...heh, get it? EXECUTION? )

8 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.

You could say that Spongebob was already insane to begin with, but that's really only a minor nitpick

9 Beavis & Butt-Head

Butt-Head: Hey, Beavis, have you ever had that weird sudden urge to just continually hit something until you, like, break it and stuff?

Beavis: HMM HEHEH, YEAH, FIRE, FIRE, BURN, BURN!
Butt-Head: Uh huh huh...WE'RE THERE, DUDE.

10 Ren & Stimpy The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.

"I...I was NICE today...NICE to all those insipid...little MONKEYS...answering their STUPID letters...my HANDS...DIRTY...THE DIRT WON'T COME OFF! (screams in horror)
President...what a joke...PRESIDENT...president of WHAT?! (looks over at Stimpy) HIS fan club! HOW THEY LOVE HIM!
Look at him, lying there ASLEEP...the IDOL of MILLIONS...he's a FOOL...BLIND, SILLY LITTLE FOOL...
How easily...I could...end the farce...with THESE hands...THESE...DIRTY...HANDS! AND with THESE hands, I hold the FATE of MILLIONS...
They think he's a GOD...BUT HE'S AS MORTAL AS WE...I KNOW! JUST...ONE...QUICK...TWIST! AND IT'S OVER...JUST...ONE..."
