Top 10 TV Shows that Most Look Like They Were Made by People on Drugs

Some shows do not simply ask you to suspend disbelief. They grab disbelief by the ankles, spin it around the room, and launch it through a wall made of neon nonsense. One minute you are watching a cartoon animal talk to a child, the next you are questioning every programming decision ever made by a human adult with access to a budget.

This list is for the shows that feel too loud, too strange, too sugary, too gross, too surreal, or too aggressively weird to have arrived through ordinary creative meetings. Maybe the result is funny. Maybe it is horrifying. Maybe it somehow lands right in the mysterious swamp between genius and garbage.

You are not here to prove anyone actually needed chemical assistance to make these shows. You are here because something about them makes your brain lean back in its chair and say, "Nope, normal people did not storyboard this." Vote for the TV shows that most look like they were assembled during a fever dream with commercial breaks.

The Top Ten

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 found this show so weird that I quit watching after episode one. I felt like I was having a weird dream!

The people at Cartoon Network had to have been on something to think this show was a good idea.

The most confusing thing about this show is how it got onto television. Why would Cartoon Network ever agree to put something this ridiculous on TV? I just don't get it. This show is just plain stupid!
Beavis and Butt-Head

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 that originally aired on Liquid Television. The show became a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s and was revived for new seasons in 2011 and again... read more

My dad likes this for some reason. Really? Worse than Dora the Explorer!

In my opinion, the main characters are on drugs.

Gosh! The name brings the whole thing down!
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 Random! Cartoons and Frederator Studios. The show aired as a preview on October 12, 2009, and officially premiered on November... read more

I watched this when I was younger. Now I look back on it, and I'm so shocked that I even liked this show.

Definitely Nickelodeon's second-worst animated show, behind Breadwinners.

What is even going on with this show? I think it's total nonsense, to be honest.
Teletubbies

Teletubbies is a British preschool children's television series created by Anne Wood CBE and Andrew Davenport of Ragdoll Productions. Davenport wrote all 365 episodes of the original series, which first aired in 1997.
The rights to the Teletubbies brand are currently owned by WildBrain, a Canadian... read more

You probably find them creepy because of their dark eyes. The creator was not schizophrenic. The show is a bit sugary sweet. Add some adorable babies called the Tiddlytubbies, and it gets even more so.
Even though they behaved like toddlers, the creators of Teletubbies also made Rosie and Jim, Tots TV, and Brum in the 90s. They could've brought back one of those. They're better shows in my opinion.
Maybe Tots TV. The cottage turned into a right dump.

Under 18 should NEVER watch this show. The pancake slime they eat will scar anyone younger for life!
Mr. Pickles

Mr. Pickles is an American animated television series created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart for Adult Swim. The series follows the Goodman family, particularly their six-year-old son Tommy, and their border collie, the demonic Mr. Pickles.... read more

Who'd honestly make a show about an "innocent" dog that's secretly satanic and rips people's guts out?
Mega Babies

Mega Babies is a Canadian animated series created by brothers Christian and Yvon Tremblay. The duo previously worked on the Hanna-Barbera show SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron before launching Mega Babies, which focuses on the wild adventures of three infant protagonists.

This is the worst show ever. This show is trash, like a mix between Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, and Powerpuff Girls in a blender.
Pee-wee's Playhouse

I'm pretty sure Pee-Wee was on drugs, then and now.

Seriously? Even the name sounds stupid!
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

Who buys a talking snake that farts? Sanjay, goofball!
H.R. Pufnstuf

H.R. Pufnstuf is what you would get if the creators of Dazed and Confused met the people at Sesame Street.

Any show from the Krofft Super Show looks like the creators were on drugs.
12 oz. Mouse

12 oz. Mouse is an American adult animated television series created by Matt Maiellaro for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim. The series combines surreal humour, black comedy, psychological thriller, mystery, and action elements, and revolves around Mouse Fitzgerald, nicknamed... read more

It looks like animation from ecstasy-addicted 5-year-olds.

It looks like it was made by a 1-year-old on drugs.

Looks worse for design than Peppa Pig!

The Newcomers

?
Blippi

Blud was definitely high when he made it. In one episode, he said, "Where's the monster truck?" or something like that, and he didn't even look behind him for a second. Unless you either tell him or start questioning your sanity, it makes no sense.
If you have your audience doing something like that, it's a sign of strange or impaired behavior.
?
Larva

I stopped watching this show. The show is literally about larvae trying to survive in a sewer, then a big city, then an island (yes, I watched the island part too). What was South Korea thinking when producing this?
Can we not ignore that this show is so unrealistic? Period. Not one "person" on the show evolved into a butterfly or anything. When they did try to evolve, I could tell you some things, but you're going to have to find out on your own.
The last part was the larvae turning into butterflies, only to still be larvae with big ears.

The Contenders

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

Thank God this show is on the list! This show might even be worse than Sanjay and Craig. The show has no point. It's about ducks who don't even look like ducks and twerk through the whole episode! What was Nick thinking when they put this poop on there? I hope this show is canceled in the future.

They don't even look like ducks. They look like ogres with orange beards who do nothing but twerk. Literally a pain.
Barney & Friends

Barney is so weird and off that he doesn't even teach kids about real life. For people who don't get it, let me break it down: He presents the world as a "fair place" where everything can be fixed with a song.
This confuses kids, since they don't learn about real-world challenges. The show only presents positive emotions and happiness. I get that, but it ignores the need to recognize other emotions. It's not accurately teaching about challenges and basically encourages kids to suppress emotions. If life gets too hard, they might not be prepared to deal with it when they grow up.
Also, the show doesn't teach problem-solving skills, which makes it harder for children to handle real-world issues as adults. Worst of all, Barney teaches kids to be overly compliant, which makes it harder for them to develop individuality or build strong identities.
Overall, Barney is not for you.
Batman

Yes, it's goofy, but it inspired a massive number of people to do good, and it brought happiness and laughs to people. Adam West was, and still is, a legend among men.

Batman and Robin was better than the sixties one.

This show we all need to forget about.
The Problem Solverz

The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series created by Ben Jones that aired on Cartoon Network. The story centers on three detectives named Alfe, Horace, and Roba who operate in the unusual and chaotic town of Farboro.... read more

Don't you dare tell me this show was not conceived and drawn during an acid trip.

Looks really trippy with its seizure-inducing animation.

The show's the problem. We are the solvers by canceling it.
Secret Mountain Fort Awesome

Secret Mountain Fort Awesome is an American animated television series created by Peter Browngardt that debuted in 2011 on Cartoon Network. The show revolves around a group of five monstrous misfits who unleash chaos from their mountain hideout.... read more

This show is hilarious, but with characters that fight the tooth fairy, who is a metalhead, the writers must have been on acid or something.

I have never heard of this show, but it looks really stupid.

One of the characters literally looks like a pile of butts glued together.
Pickle and Peanut

Pickle and Peanut is an American animated television series that premiered on Disney XD on September 7, 2015. The show was created by Noah Z. Jones, who also created the series Fish Hooks and Almost Naked Animals. It follows two best friends as they navigate absurd and surreal experiences in their town... read more

A pathetic rip-off of Breadwinners, which itself is a pathetic rip-off of Regular Show.
LazyTown

LazyTown is an English-language Icelandic children's educational musical comedy program. It was created by Magnús Scheving, who also starred in the show as Sportacus. The program was made by an international crew and featured a cast from Iceland, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

They were high on sports drugs, of course. Sportaflop would never allow the creators to have regular drugs.
Teen Titans Go!

'Teen Titans Go!' is an American animated television series produced by Cartoon Network. The show follows a group of teenage superheroes called the Teen Titans as they return home from missions and get into silly, everyday adventures. It is a revival and comedic spin-off of the original 'Teen Titans... read more

This show is really annoying. I honestly never really cared for the original Teen Titans show, but this crap is just an insult to that.
Adventure Time

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. Jake is a dog with the magical power to change... read more

It's about a knockoff of Maxwell from Scribblenauts and a dog version of Plastic Man going on missions. How much more proof do I need that this did not look like it was made on drugs? But still, this is better than the others on this list.

Unlike most other shows, this one's actually really good.

Misadventure Time is an abomination!
Ben 10 (2017)

Ben 10 is a media franchise created by Man of Action Studios and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The franchise revolves around a boy named Ben Tennyson who acquires a watch-like alien device called the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into ten different alien creatures. The series has expanded... read more
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is an American television series that aired from September 4 to December 1, 1989. It was conceived by Andy Heyward and produced by DIC Enterprises. The show was distributed by Viacom Enterprises in association with Nintendo.
Planet Sheen

Planet Sheen is an American CGI animated television series. It is a spinoff of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, focusing on Sheen Estevez, who becomes stranded on the alien planet Zeenu. The series received negative reviews from critics and fans, who criticized its departure from the original... read more

It's about some annoying Scrappy called Sheen and some other aliens traversing through a planet full of indigo clouds and suspicious penis mountains. Simply put, that sounds like what a six-year-old would make in Spore: Galactic Adventures without knowing the ropes.
Bob The Builder (2015)

Bob the Builder is a British children's animated television show created by Keith Chapman. In the original series, Bob appears in a stop-motion animated program as a building contractor who specializes in masonry. He works alongside his colleague Wendy, various neighbors and friends, and a team of anthropomorphized... read more
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is an American animated television series created by Thurop Van Orman for Cartoon Network. It premiered in North America on June 5, 2008. The show features Van Orman as the voice of Flapjack, a naive young boy raised by a talking whale named Bubbie and mentored... read more
Boku No Pico

Boku no Pico is a Japanese original video animation (OVA) hentai anime series consisting of three episodes. It was created by Katsuhiko Takayama and produced by Natural High, and the first episode was released on DVD on September 17, 2006.
