I love them all but its like, how did this shit get on TV and then anywhere near children lmao.
The Brak Show was on Adult Swim along with a lot of other cartoons aimed at adults. I seriously doubt Happy Tree Friends was grouped into children's programming, but I only know that from the internet.
Fairly Oddparents & Billy and Mandy both had stuff that might be heavy or scary if you think about it, but the surface level stuff had enough humor involved to make it less intense than it could have been. A lot of shows for kids have more complex stuff that goes over kid's heads.
Hokuto No Ken, not because it's particularly unhinged but because in France it was programmed in the morning cartoon segment with dragon ball etc... it was so out of place that the dubbers had an obligation to tone it down in the translations and add jokes and puns.
It went about as well as you would expect, just a layer of absurdist humor on top of the ultra violence and gore...
Yes!

Calabash Brothers ( the original from either the 70s or 80s, can't remember which decade ). Still looking for the series that came after ( and also the 2010s version ) with ENG subtitles just to see how insane they are in comparison.
Original contains death in a couple different ways at least, and some weird scenes like one of the characters losing their powers by essentially having magic strike his eyes or 2 characters that look like minors ( but probably aren't ) getting drunk and passing out off of magically conjured wine.
