I went to a funeral the day this aired. When I came back, I was thrilled. You have to kill this? I'm sad.
"Ren Seeks Help," "Stimpy's Pregnant." Don't even.

Don't watch "Ren Seeks Help." For the sake of your own sanity, don't watch "Ren Seeks Help."

Way worse than a horror movie - just disgusting, scary, and disturbing.

There was a man who was arrested for murdering his neighbor. Apparently, he worked on this TV show. There was an episode where a character was obsessed with organs, and so was this man.
The episode of Invader ZIM was shown on his court day, and it was believed to have inspired the murderer since he was so obsessed with organs.

The show follows a timid pink dog named Courage who lives with an elderly couple in a farmhouse in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas... read more

Courage will go down as one of the creepiest kids' shows ever. But that's exactly what made it so awesome!

Disturbing for a child but one of the greatest "children's" TV shows that pushed the boundaries.

This show was a bit creepy, but I still like it.
Mr. Meaty

Mr. Meaty is a Canadian-American television series created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley. The show centers on two lazy teenage boys, Josh Redgrove and Parker Dinkleman, who work at a fast food restaurant inside a shopping mall.... read more

It's not even the design of the puppets that makes this disturbing. It's the horrifying humor they use.
There's one episode where Parker gets a tapeworm that launches out of his mouth and eats whatever is in front of him. They lure and yank it out, then sell it to an Australian guy who puts the tapeworm in his own stomach.
There's also an episode where Josh ditches Parker to go to the movies, so Josh constructs a puppet made of meat that he names "Hammond" to make Parker jealous.

I loathe this show. So unfunny, time-consuming, and gross.

Seasons 1 to 8 were the best seasons. Seasons 9 to 14 are disturbing.
Teletubbies

There was a moment in the show where Sanjay and Craig were throwing up into each other's mouths for an uncomfortably long time. I actually threw up myself after watching it.

This show is so inappropriate. Have you seen the part where Sanjay licks the tongue in the tongue taco? Ugh.

It got better as it went on, but some of the earlier episodes are downright disturbing.

When I was younger, I watched the episode with the demon cat, a cat with gaping black eye sockets and a mouth of razor-sharp teeth. I was instantly scarred for life and still have nightmares about it today.

Not to mention there are a lot of copyright characters that look like the originals. Of course, it's inappropriate. It's not even for kids.
Very disturbing to me.

Unfunny jokes, unlikable characters, and an uncomfortable amount of gore and sex scenes. Yep, this show's pretty much the worst.

I'm in the middle of Asylum right now. It's so creepy and disturbing. I'm on Anne Frank Pt. 2.
Murder House wasn't really that bad. I've also seen episodes from Freak Show, and it's so creepy.

Come on! It should be in the number one spot. The opening credit scene alone could beat all the shows on this list.

I find this more disturbing than Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Just cancel this show. I watched the first episode and I already changed the channel.

Breadwinners can only be explained in one word: disturbing. You should watch Jackoon's video where he reads a fanfic about this show. It's downright disturbing.
Happy Tree Friends

It's very cute and fun until you see a bunny with half its skin missing and its bones crushed, stuck in its intestines.
