weird cartoons part I

 Lou likes taking baths as long as no water is involved.


    Lou the Cat and I, Lou the Person, enjoy watching cartoons together.

     We watch weird cartoons, "the weirder the better with an extra dash of insanity," says lou. Together we have compiled a list  of strange cartoons that we enjoy, and we would like to share that list with you. Here are numbers 6 - 10 or 10 - 6. whichever. They coincidentally are all in the 11 - minute format and were originally on cartoon network's adult swim. You get 5 - 1 / 1 - 5 next week. Now in reverse order of weirdness.

10.)  Sealab 2021

     This show is really awesome. It used recycled footage from an old horrible boring cartoon from the 70's about environmentalism, called Sea Lab 2020. Crazy adventures occur on the underwater research station which often conclude with the whole place being blown up. The first two seasons are primo.




9.)  Frisky Dingo

     This show is super awesome. It is a serial comedy with a continued story line but it is so insane that any individual episode is baffling and absurd even if you have been following the story. It is about a super villain who, having spent all of his money on the Anihilatrix, a device for launching the earth into the sun, has only a quarter million left for his evil speech of doom and ends up having to send postcards instead. There is also a super hero who is also a billionaire, and an invention competition that is won by the "ant farm keyboard" which is subsequently dipped in toxic waste and the hyper intelligent ants who were "eating RAM" escape and take over the brain of the main female character. The first season is the best but the second is good too.





8.)  The Brak Show

This show is really awesome. Its about a cat-man from space and his friend who is an evil praying mantis. There are alot of show tunes. First season is the best.



7.)  Assy McGee

This show is very awesome. It's about a butt and pair of legs who wear olive green socks and a gun holster who fights crime as a city cop. He shoots a perp in the knee who screams "Help! I need a doctor!" Assy responds by shooting him in the other knee and mumbling "Now you need two doctors." First season is the best.





6.)  Squidbillies

      This show is exceedingly awesome. It's about hillbillies who are squids. You might have gleaned that from the title. He main character Early Cuyler lives with his son Rusty and his sister Lil and his grandmother Granny. In the first episode the Sheriff come to the house for a hair styling by Rusty who is working for his aunt while she works in her meth lab. "That boy can perm!" says the Sheriff  just before he sets on fire and screams demonically while tearing his own face off. Lil realizes that rusty had just shampooed the sheriff's hair with half a million dollars of pure crystal meth. The sheriff reappears in the next scene because there are rows of sheriffs growing like corn in a field nearby. I'm not really sure which of the six seasons is best but I tend to lean towards first seasons because it is not as  polished but has a purity of purpose.



These didn't even make our top 5 weirdest cartoons that we watch on a regular basis. Stay tuned for those, dear readers.
