Top 10 Most Inappropriate Kids Shows

We all know kids will watch anything on TV, but here are some shows that are not even kid-friendly once you think about it.

The Top Ten

Sanjay and Craig

Sanjay and Craig is an American animated sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016. The show ran for three seasons and 60 episodes.
The series follows a 12-year-old Indian American boy named Sanjay Patel and his best friend, Craig, a talking pet snake. They go on surreal... read more

How the hell does Common Sense Media (CSM) think this show is appropriate for 9-year-olds? Say what you want about the original Ren and Stimpy (NOT the Adult Party Cartoon, CSM thinks the original show's iffy for 13-year-olds) and Rocko's Modern Life (CSM thinks it's appropriate for 11-year-olds), but this show makes the new SpongeBob episodes look like Sesame Street! I honestly think The Simpsons is more appropriate for kids than this show! I saw The Mysterious Mr. Enter's review on the episode "Fart Baby" and the episode was all about the lamest fart and pregnancy jokes I have ever seen. The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Junior was funnier than this! If this is what kids nowadays love watching, I have seriously lost hope in all of humanity.
Breadwinners

Breadwinners is an American animated television series created by Gary "Doodles" DiRaffaele and Steve Borst for Nickelodeon. The show originated as an animated short created in DiRaffaele's apartment in Studio City, Los Angeles, in collaboration with Borst.... read more

It was between Sanjay and Craig and this trash. At least Craig is fairly entertaining (Sanjay is a stupid brat), but these two frog-looking ducks are the absolute pits! This disgusting pair's back catalog should be put in an incinerator. Did someone actually get paid for dreaming up this pile of dog poo?

Oh boy, this show is absolute garbage. At least Sanjay & Craig improved over the next 2 seasons, but this abomination didn't. Also, those aren't ducks, they're green blobs that shake their butts.

The creators and Nick both need to understand that butt jokes and fart jokes aren't the way to attract viewers. Good jokes attract viewers, popularity attracts viewers.
The Ren & Stimpy Show

The Ren & Stimpy Show, often referred to simply as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. It originally aired from 1991 to 1995 and is known for its surreal humor and controversial content. The series centers on Ren, an emotionally unstable... read more

Ren is very mean towards Stimpy. The dog's voice and accent in the first two seasons were annoying and thick. Not appropriate for autistic viewers.

The Nickelodeon version is sort of inappropriate because it involves homosexuality and inappropriate jokes. The Adult Party Cartoon, I think, is better because I'm an adult, but it is more inappropriate. The Adult Party Cartoon is more inappropriate because it involves women in the shower and naked women's breasts. The thing that sucks is that Adult Party was cancelled in 2001 and only ran for 2-3 months.
6teen

6teen is a Canadian animated sitcom originally produced by Nelvana, with its final season produced by Fresh TV. It premiered on November 7, 2004, on Teletoon. The show follows six teenage friends as they navigate adolescence while working part-time jobs in a shopping mall.

This is more of an obvious example. Some of the episodes were a little bit too much for American and Cartoon Network standards, that some episodes of the series remained unaired in the US. This is due to its mild swearing and some mature themes and jokes.

It was pretty inappropriate for a kid's show, with semi-frequent sex jokes, and a little bit of swearing every now and then.

I saw some of the main characters naked.
Regular Show

Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series follows the lives of two friends, Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a local park and often find themselves in surreal... read more

This show is stupid and is for perverts. It is bad for all ages because it involves hitting on women, which is disrespectful. The show is also inappropriate because, in the episode about solids, Rigby made Mordecai do something inappropriate and childish. This show shouldn't be on TV.

Season 1 was trying to teach kids cuss words. If you listen to the first episode "The Power" very closely, then you will understand what they were really trying to say. Other than that, the show is still far enough for kids.
Dora the Explorer

Dora the Explorer is an American animated preschool educational television series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes, and Eric Weiner that originally aired from 2000 to 2019. The show follows Dora, a young Latina girl, as she embarks on adventures with her monkey friend Boots.... read more

This show teaches kids to run away from home all day every day and the parents won't care, and get them in jail for child abandonment and neglect and still be happy.

She needs to go exploring for a pair of glasses. She was all like, "Where is the rainbow, do you see it?" And it was literally right in front of her!

Ever noticed that Dora the Explorer (the girl) and Internet Explorer (the web browser) take 20 minutes to do a simple thing?
Total Drama Island

Total Drama Island is the first season of the Canadian animated television series Total Drama. It premiered in Canada on Teletoon on July 8, 2007, and in the United States on Cartoon Network on June 5, 2008. It parodies reality television shows by placing animated teenage characters in exaggerated survival... read more

According to Common Sense Media, it says the show is for ages 10+ (well, that is at least their recommendation). I first knew what this show was since I was ten. I have watched a few clips from the show. There were inappropriate scenes, but I wasn't that offended or anything because at age ten, I was able to deal with puppetry and all the stuff. I was also okay with a few swearing scenes since they were bleeped out.

Even though the show was altered for American viewing, it still received a TV-PG rating. For example, there was an episode where the contestants ate beef testicles, which was changed to "beef meatballs" in America.
In another episode, Heather's breasts were shown (though blurred), and Harold saw them. There was also an episode where Owen was sleepwalking naked, but it was censored.
Despite these instances, I still like this show and consider it one of the best Cartoon Network shows.
Almost Naked Animals

Almost Naked Animals is a Canadian animated television series produced for YTV. The series premiered on January 7, 2011. It features animals wearing only underwear who run a tropical resort hotel and often get into bizarre and comedic situations.

This one was obvious. I mean, "almost naked" animals.

It teaches kids to be naked everywhere.

The name is Almost Naked Animals.
SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It has become one of Nickelodeon's most popular and longest-running shows, attracting both children and adults.... read more

This is probably the most inappropriate animated kids' show ever made. If you are 20 years old or younger, you will find this show very enjoyable. If you are much older, you will think that SpongeBob SquarePants is a very inappropriate kids' show. It has some of the dirtiest jokes and the most inappropriate messages and movements ever in kids' show history.
Older SpongeBob episodes contain dirty jokes that kids didn't understand, believing they were just quirky aspects of the show. For example, there is a scene where there's a strange-looking balloon SpongeBob has, and another where SpongeBob is caught watching sea-themed adult content. Do you see that as appropriate for a kids' show? You kids don't understand anything about SpongeBob! This should be in the top fives.
Fanboy and Chum Chum

Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American CGI-animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on an animated short titled Fanboy, which Robles created for Nickelodeon Animation Studio and Frederator Studios as part of Random! Cartoons. The show aired as a preview on October 12... read more

Disgusting and too appealing to the modern kids. It's just wrong why people like it so much.

Have you seen the episode "A Bopwork Orange?" That episode was just a little too obvious even for kids.

It is inappropriate. Also, why do people like it?

The Newcomers

Wolfoo

I HATE this show! It's a ripoff of Peppa Pig and is just so painful to watch! I can't BELIEVE I used to like this show!

WordGirl

WordGirl is an American children's animated television series created by Dorothea Gillim. It was produced by the Soup2Nuts animation unit of Scholastic Entertainment and aired as a full-length series on PBS Kids from 2007 to 2015. The show follows a superhero named WordGirl as she fights crime and builds... read more

I saw the TV-Y7 rating of this when the intro was shown, but if you're under the age of 7, I feel like you should stop watching that show.

The Contenders

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, along with his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful... read more

"Thanks, Big Man. We've all been touched by your bigness."
-Rocko
I will never know how they got away with some of those jokes.

Rocko was working as a phone sex operator.
Choking Chicken company.
Cannot think of anymore.
Uncle Grandpa

Uncle Grandpa was an American animated surreal comedy television series created by Peter Browngardt for Cartoon Network that ran from September 2, 2013, to June 30, 2017. The series is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same name from The Cartoonstitute. It features a surreal style and follows... read more

I remember in 5th grade all I heard was boys saying "Good morning!" trying to imitate Uncle Grandpa.
Mad

MAD is an American animated sketch comedy series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2013. Based on the long-running Mad magazine, the show featured fast-paced parodies of movies, television programs, video games, celebrities, and other elements of popular culture.... read more

All this show does is make fun of other shows. It should be in the "worst TV shows" because it is dull and stupid. No wonder Cartoon Network shut it down. No offense CN, but most of your ideas for a kids show are stupid.

It was funny for older kids, but I have memories of me being five and staring at the screen thinking, "Why are the ponies trying to eat us?"

It's kinda gross, so it can be on here. But please don't trash it because I actually love MAD.
Nina Needs to Go

Nina Needs to Go! is an American-British animated short-form series that premiered on Disney Junior in February 2014. The show follows four-year-old Nina as she visits various locations, such as the zoo and the beach.
Each episode centers on Nina realizing she urgently needs to use the bathroom... read more

Disney: "Okay, staff, what should we make a show about now?"
Disney staff: "Good idea." "Great idea." "Another great idea." "How about a show about a little girl named Nina who needs to use the restroom all the time? The plot will be her needing to go every episode!"
Disney: "YES."

Bro, why would Disney put this show on Disney Junior? This show is not for kids.
It has potty humor, the same plot every time, and it's just straight-up gross. Why, Disney? This show needs to straight-up die.

This was my favorite show until you guys snapped me out of it. So, thank y'all for 1. reasoning with me, and 2. telling me my interest in this disgusting show was from the potty scenes. But you also made me forget the show, but I do still have respect for those who love it.
Barney & Friends

Barney & Friends is an American children's television series created by Sheryl Leach and produced by several companies during its run, including HIT Entertainment. Aimed at young children, the show premiered on PBS on April 6, 1992. It features Barney, a purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex who teaches... read more

Barney told kids that "A Stranger is a friend you haven't met". Very crazy.

Barney looks like he took steroids or something. He should go on a diet!
Fred: The Show

Fred: The Show is an American television comedy series created by Lucas Cruikshank. It aired on Nickelodeon in the United States from January 16 to August 3, 2012. The series was based on the YouTube character Fred Figglehorn and was canceled after one season.

Annoying drug user who cusses. I am glad it was canceled after 1 season.

Fred almost cusses, and makes it almost sound like cuss words.

Fred takes drugs, and so does his mom.
Marvin Marvin

Marvin Marvin is an American science fiction slapstick comedy television series. It aired on Nickelodeon from November 24, 2012, to April 27, 2013. The show stars Lucas Cruikshank as Marvin, an alien teenage boy trying to adjust to life on Earth while living with a human family.... read more

Of course, this show is bad, not only because of how stupid this show is but because this and Fred: The Show are portrayed by literally the same person.

This alien show and character are gross and boring.

No wonder this show got cancelled. It sounds trash.
The Three Friends and Jerry

Reboot it, put it on Adult Swim, translate the original to English for swearing (wow, Sweden allowed kids to watch swearing, maybe because Vikings came from there, didn't they swear?) and then make new episodes.

PewDiePie is from Sweden. This cartoon is from Sweden. The cartoon in Sweden had swearing. PewDiePie would've been a '90s kid. This came out in the '90s.

It was banned because Americans are prudes.
Caillou

Caillou is a Canadian educational children's television series based on books by Hélène Desputeaux. The show premiered on Teletoon in both English and French on September 15, 1997. It later aired on Treehouse TV, where its final episode was broadcast on October 3, 2010.... read more

I grew up with Caillou. He is cute. The first season, the second season, and the third season of Caillou are better. Yes, he was a spoiled brat in the old seasons, and I understand why people hate Caillou.
The new seasons, season four and season five, are even worse. Caillou went from a spoiled rotten brat to a dumb and stupid character.

So inappropriate! This show is so stupid, and Caillou, the bald 4-year-old brat, teaches kids to throw tantrums until they get their way.

Oh my God, please don't mention this whiny sack of crap! Every time I see his face or hear his voice, I just want to strangle him!
AwesomenessTV

AwesomenessTV is an American sketch-comedy reality series based on the YouTube channel of the same name and created by Brian Robbins. The series premiered on Nickelodeon in 2013. Both seasons consist of 20 episodes.

One of those bad shows that Nick decided to import from YouTube just for the money. There are lines in it that kids don't find appropriate.
Crayon Shin-chan

Originally debuting in Japan in 1992, Crayon Shin-chan is an anime adaptation of a manga by Yoshito Usui. The series follows the humorous and mischievous life of a five-year-old boy named Shinnosuke Nohara, often called Shin-chan, and his interactions with his family and friends.... read more

The protagonist is rude to his family, screaming at them, and exposing his buttocks to them. Not good for learning kids.

This is actually a kids' show, but they made a dub for adults, and that's the version we got in the U.S.

Yes, this is a family show over in Japan.
Kappa Mickey

Kappa Mikey is an American animated comedy series created by Larry Schwarz. It was the first original half-hour series produced for Nicktoons Network. The series was produced by Animation Collective, which also produced Three Delivery and Speed Racer: The Next Generation.... read more

Because of the frequent fart jokes.

Seems like a ripoff of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, only way more inappropriate.

I saw a clip of this show of Guano (one of the characters) pooping in his diaper.
Sym-Bionic Titan

Sym-Bionic Titan is an American animated action science fiction television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Bryan Andrews, and Paul Rudish for Cartoon Network. The series premiered on September 17, 2010, and ended on April 9, 2011. It follows two alien teenagers and a robot hiding on Earth while... read more

What about that one episode where Kimmy was twerking for Octus?
Looney Toons

Since apparently, this refers to the 2011 reboot... There was the episode where Daffy was looking for a job and they managed to sneak in a joke where Daffy was watching porn on Bugs' computer.

I watched it when I was 1 to 5 years old. This is an inappropriate show. This is basically too easy.

You're referring to The Looney Tunes Show, that's dirty compared to Looney Tunes.
Back at the Barnyard

Back at the Barnyard is a Nickelodeon computer-animated television series. It is a spin-off of the 2006 film Barnyard. The show follows Otis the cow and his friends as they get into comedic situations on the farm while keeping their ability to walk and talk like humans a secret from humans.
