"How the hell did they get away with that?" moments in children's TV

Animaniacs: The Thread.
Isn't there a joke about a kid saying she's an unwanted child or something as well?
Found it. Holy shit, the Professor's reaction.

Something about seeing another Ed, Edd, n Eddy universe character (the drive thru dude) really creeps me out.
I'll never understand why "you were an accident" has been used in the media as some shocking, traumatic thing to say to somebody. "Your parents loved each other very much and sometimes condoms break" is not really something I'd be upset about.
Hilda season 2 has had some crazy shit.

Wasn't the character of Minerva Mink from Animaniacs specifically designed to be this.
But the censors caught on?

Uh.... what? Did Carlos just get jizzed on by a fish?I get that it's educational, but...
Not intentionally kids tv but toonami used to show Tenchi Muyo &tenchi in Tokyo in 2000. I was 10 and learned about harems
Technically it's anime and there's a tendency to get away with more, but when I was young I was really shocked that they didn't cut the following out of the third season of Digimon in the English TV broadcast when Jeri trying to choke herself because she feels so worthless that she can't imagine being alive. Like obviously as an adult you know you can't choke yourself to death but depicting a child being so in despair that she would try is like was intense as a kid. And that it was kept in.
Is Watership Down even a kid's movie? I always presumed it was intended for adults.
Simpsons isn't a kid's show. It was or is a primetime Fox show in the same vein as Family Guy.

Is that why the plugged was pulled? Not the audience that Nick wanted.
WTF. I find this more disturbing than some R rated movies I've seen.
The Buffalo Gals from Cow & Chicken is one example (a female motorcycle gang that breaks into people's homes and eats their carpets). For some reason that episode was only aired once.
Felidae is another, but not sure if it counts as children's film:

No. I loved it, it's one of my favorite movies. I love my criterion collection Blu-ray.
...and I don't honestly think there's anything in it kids can't handle: this is what happens when animals fight. The other two adaptations being weirdly bloodless didn't work as well.
I've never seen Inhumanoids before but this looks pretty awesome plus I think I hear a couple voice actors I know from Transformers
neat
Was always surprised they made a Starship Troopers kids cartoon and how bloody and gory it was with the bugs. Great show though, would recommend it
I recall Inhumanoids having plenty more disturbing stuff than just that clip. Didn't D'Compose regularly mutate victims into undead monsters?
Can we add the War of the Worlds tv show to the list? It was on Saturday mornings after cartoons and before lunch, and had some nasty fun body horrror vibes going in with it.

I don't remember much from Digimon, but based on what little I do remember, I get the impression Tamers was one of the most fucked up seasons and I think Jeri's character had to do with some of that.
TMNT 2003:
Leonardo cutting off Shredders head.
Baxter Stockman showing up every week missing a body part courtesy of Shredder, and eventually ending up as basically a head in a jar.
Not to mention Baxter later getting a cloned body that slowly rotted throughout the episode.
TMNT 2003 was wild.

This one is pretty fucked up. A show called Tottie: A Dolls House started to air in the mid 1980s. This was a stop motion show and already looked creepy enough. However they introduced a doll called Marchpane who was evil as fuck. Here's a taste of this episode:
Literally showing one doll burning another out of cruelty.
Era isnt letting me add videos for some reason, but heres a vid showing the tv show.

Powerpuff Girls was full of this kind of stuff.
Not the highest quality video, but good enough I guess.

Davis from Digimon Adventure 02 was a very horny little boy. I remember my eyes widening in surprise as a kid when I heard it.
This show is great! Shame it never took off like some others, also Chowder
Shadow Raiders: War Planets, a 90s CG cartoon from the makers of Reboot and Beast Wars. It's effectively a cosmic horror story for kids, because the "villain" is a massive metal planet that's completely invulnerable (and I mean literally, it has a planet chucked at it and flies through a Sun without a scratch), and moves through space consuming other worlds and wiping out whole civilizations. It never speaks, no one knows what it is or where it came from, and the overarching goal of the protagonists in the series is just to escape from its path. Its "drones" it sends out are more regular villains that speak and interact with the heroes, but the Beast Planet itself is pretty hardcore.
In general the show features a lot of character deaths and a grim tone not unlike the later Battlestar Galactica reboot series. Even the ending of the series is quite grim tone wise:

They get lucky with some warp technology that teleports the Beast Planet to another galaxy, so they're all finally safe....and then the final scene of the series shows another planet about to be consumed far away, so it's left still out there rampaging, for infinity.
