Cartoons for Adults

I was babysitting my nephew the other day and he had control of Sky, obviously, and as I was sat there watching these kids cartoons, I found myself strangely enjoying them. It got me thinking, cartoons are a lot more tailored towards entertaining kids, but with a bit in there for the adults watching. You know, you laugh when he doesn't and get the look...

I was enjoying The Regular Show, Futurama, and obviously there's The Simpsons. Plus, films such as Up, Flushed Away and the like, all fall into this category.

So which cartoons that entertain kids and adults alike do you enjoy?

The Regular Show and Adventure Time are two of the best cartoons to come out in a long time they are hillarious especaily Regular Show, the comedy, the weirdness its like a Ren and Stimpy for a new generation.

Also Avatar the legend of the Air Bender (not the one with the blue guys) and Generator Rex have to get a mention

Ice Age

Must admit, I find myself looking to see if The Regular Show is on when I'm the only one watching! ha ha.

I tag it before the kids do these days the one with the unicorns was the best by far

the new thundercats on Cartooon Network.

Amazingly, Spongebob has it's fair share of adult references.
Anyone see the episode with the Monkees Davy Jones, playing Davy Jones owner of the locker?
How many under 10s would get that reference?

Haven't seen that episode but agree Hoggy_Bear.

I think Futurama is the same. There is an episode where the insanely funny Sapp Brannigan is trying to woo Leela. Some serious adult humour in that one!

Or the one where the ruler of Omicron Persei 8 (sp?) wants to harvest and eat Fry's 'lower horn'

There is a lot more Adult humour in kids cartoons now i went to see Madagascar with my son , and theres a bit were something goes wrong and the lion says " Sugar Honey Ice Tea " my son couldn't understand why i was laughing .

Actual kids cartoons I love Phineas and Ferb .

Kung fu panda 1 and 2 pretty good.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Despicable me
Rango

all good films for kids and adults

Don't watch many cartoon tv shows apart from South Park and Family Guy

I actually dont mind watching sponge bob. Its actually quite clever and stupid at the same time.

My favourite episode has to be the one with doodlebob in

Have they run Archer on British television yet?

Looking back, Animaniacs had loads of things kids wouldn't get!

Goodnight everybody!

The Life and times of Tim. A show meant for adults and not suitable for kids!

It wasn't from a cartoon but i was watching the den (on RTE 2) once about 10 years ago and the presenter (Damien McCaul) was talking to the two puppets (sockey and dustin) also on the show. I think he was reading out jokes sent in by the viewers.
But when he finished sockey said " I will tell you a joke................ Damien's wages."

Thought that was very funny.
