Late-night cable blocks and streaming catalogues built around adult humour are the richest seam to mine here, especially short-form and web-original series. Any animated series made for grown-up audiences counts, whether sitcom, satire or anthology; anime and family-friendly cartoons are excluded.

How to approach it

Work from the distribution end backwards. Picture the schedules and catalogues that exist because advertisers or subscribers wanted grown-up animation, then recall what filled them: sketch compilations, crude workplace comedies, sci-fi anthology shorts, parody dubs, and serialised dramas for adults. Once you have a handful of broad lanes, push into the edges, including small local productions, web series with a single season, motion comics, and tie-ins built on mature franchises. Breadth beats precision in this format: every plausible title that a reasonable viewer would file under adult animation is likely to be accepted, so keep listing until you have several dozen candidates and submit the ones you are most sure about. Verifying that a title genuinely aired as a series, rather than as a one-off short or a film, is the only filter worth applying.

Get a hint

Start with the schedules that air after midnight, where channels park deliberately crude or experimental cartoons made for grown-ups rather than for families.

A little more

Then widen to web-first animation: short episodes, loose pilots and studio-funded oddities that were never pitched at a younger audience in the first place.

One step further

Finally, think of genre outliers such as animated horror, war stories, mockumentaries or political satire, where the adult label comes from tone rather than from jokes.

Why these answers count

The reveal is unusually flat: of 1,731 recorded answers, 1,713 cleared sixty points, and the shape of that spread tells you almost everything. A single title took the 100-point slot, Stoner Cats, while 1,584 answers landed at 85 and only 128 settled for 60. In other words, obscurity was rewarded far more than fame. Recognisable prime-time sitcoms and long-running cult favourites pull plenty of players, so the crowd converges on them and the margin thins; a niche web series, an imported oddity or a one-season curio can score just as well because fewer people think of it first. Entries such as Agent Elvis, Acadieman, 12 oz. Mouse and Aaagh! It's the Mr. Hell Show! all sat at 85, which suggests judges rewarded anything defensibly adult rather than demanding prestige. Low scores, by contrast, look like answers that stretched the definition: children's shows with adult jokes, or titles that are films and shorts rather than series.
