Editing Approved Cartoons (section)

*'''[[Adventure Time]]'''. tl;dr: A D&D nerd gets a blank check from Cartoon Network, [[skub]] ensues. Starts off [[Chaotic Stupid|random is funny]], and never really gives up on that, but slowly reveals itself to be set in a Grimdark post-apocalyptic fantasy world inhabited by mutants and whatever remains of Earth's original animal population. The main character is one of the few humans left alive. Has [[skub]]tastic reputation due to its noodle art style and the writers using it as a vent for their personality problems in later seasons until they completely forgot they weren't writing for Adult Swim. Also, [[PROMOTIONS|you want to fuck the vampire.]]

*'''Archer:''' Think "Arrested Development" meets James Bond. It's an adventure comedy about an alcoholic man-child who just so happens to be the world's most dangerous secret agent, and his equally deranged co-workers which include, but are not limited to; a sex addict accountant, a sadistic pyromaniac ditz, a bare-knuckle boxing Human Resource manager, a sassy black woman with abnormally large hands, the main-character's narcissistic mother, and a mad nazi scientist. Hilarious, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHAHEhhJisk ultra quotable], and great source material for secret agent role-playing.
** Later seasons ('''Dreamland''', '''Danger Island''' and '''1999''') are all self-contained genre spoofs, respectively a hard-boiled detective story, an Indy-style pulp adventure and IN SPACE! - and as such can be watched even without the broader context of the series.

*'''Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law:''' Williams Street dragging Hanna-Barbera into an alleyway, brutally mugging them, and rifling through their pockets for old cartoon clips. Together with its sister series Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast and Sealab 2021 (below) this is what put Adult Swim on the map for adult animation, spawning dozens of imitators and predicting the rise of the YouTube Poop years later. Can be mined for plotlines for "whodunnit" adventures in addition to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeRTo8MuTrw just plain weirdness] that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y11lxG8WM9M can inspire greatness] at the table-top.
*'''Futurama''': Where a good chunk of the original Simpsons writing team went when ''The Simpsons'' became Zombie Simpsons. Moronic delivery boy Philip J. Fry gets frozen on New Year's Eve 1999 and wakes up in the year 3000, where he's forced to be an ''interplanetary'' delivery boy and deal with aliens, robots, his mad scientist descendant, and the show getting canceled every few years. Probably the most recognizable sci-fi parody out there, has [[Futurama: Now With Dice|its own RPG]] based on the [[Toon]] system, above all guest-starring [[E. Gary Gygax|Gary motherfucking Gygax]] hisself, most notably in a full TV movie where the cast gets trapped in a [[D&D]] campaign come to life. ''"Anyone want to play D&D for the next quadrillion years?"''
	
*'''Inside Job:''' Rick and Morty rip-off about conspiracy theories. The main character is a chronically overworked, mildly insane genius working for a front company that secretly pulls the strings behind every crazy conspiracy theory in existence, all of which are true (but you already knew that). President getting replaced by a robot? That's the pilot. Illuminati, Lizard People and Atlanteans having blood orgies at the Bohemian Grove? Yup, it's here. Secret shadowy cabals managing the world in a way no one notices? That's just real life. Everyone is insane, paranoid and on the cusp of a mental breakdown. A nice break from just replaying Deus Ex to prepare for your next Illuminati/Conspiracy X/Unknown Armies campaign.

*'''Megas XLR:''' [[Tau|I DIG GIANT ROBOTS. YOU DIG GIANT ROBOTS. CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS.]] That's all you really need to know. Big robots and funny shit. It's also the [[Ork|Orkiest]] show ever made, the Gork to [[Approved anime|Gurren Lagann's]] Mork.
*'''SeaLab 2021''': Conceptually in the same vein as Venture Bros but as a direct sequel to the straight-faced environmentalist SeaLab 2020, kind of. Episodes mostly consist of reused SeaLab 2020 stock animation or just entire scenes repurposed to parody SeaLab 2020 and 90 cartoons in general. At least one episode is a literal comedy redub of a vintage episode, and roughly a third end with everyone dying in an explosion. Basically [[Space Station 13]] the series.

*'''The Venture Bros.''' An absurd parody of Jonny Quest, 60's animated shows, comic books, and pretty much every action franchise ever. Episodes primarily theme around failure (so great for 4chan) and absurd comedy. Can be [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D8aBP-JOZsU hilarious] but like Austin Powers, it's hard to appreciate the comedy of it unless you've seen the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Quest source material].
