What happened to those nice tame adult cartoons? Daria, Duckman, Beavis & Butthead, The Critic, Mission Hill, The Oblongs, Home Movies. Now when we get adult cartoons, they end up being Family Guy rip offs of, "Look how offensive we can be!!!" with shit like Mr. Pickles, Brickleberry, fucking Sausage Party.
Why'd adult animation get so extreme? I imagine if a Duckman-esque show were made now, it would get decent enough ratings.
Non comedy-based adult cartoons were never really a popular thing, unfortunately. The closest thing we have to it right now is probably Venture Bros.

Decent ratings wouldn't be good enough.
REMEMBER THE 90'S?

OP you have a confusion with Comedy-Drama and just Comedy.
because most of the shows you have quoted are actually comedy-drama shows.
The explanation is very simple, the 90's were just more PC than the 2000's, so the adult shows were more soft and also in most cases they put drama on, so you have comedy-drama shows, with more serious subjects than just simple-minded humor for fun, with your drama feelings'n sheit.
the comedy-only shows were basically toilet humor like beavis & butt-head or south park, in the 2000's they just goes more far because they had more liberties than in the 90's.
also i don't understand why you complains if some shows want to shown how offensive they are, cartoonists literally always did that, the most obvious exemple was the movie "Fritz the cat" on the 70's based on underground comix who did the same thing, most of times it's a question of context or standards of eras, where the show take place? in what universe?
and the 2010's are actually very PC, so complaining about trash cartoons it's pretty stupid.
american cartoon are also pretty involved on comedy since their creation because of their strong vaudeville influence.

tame = little to no blood?

Death of cable channels, all those cartoon existed for fill spaces in cable channels but today cable is dead.
And people dont pay Netflix for watch talking animals how hard is life.

This is naive. Cartoons have historically been significantly more expensive to make per minute than most television shows. They were never filler.
>>84521650
the 90s were a problematic and triggering time.
>>84524600
This artstyle is disgusting anon, spoiler that shit next time
>>84524600
There's no discrimination in today's media? So why transfags complain so much?
>>84521650
EVERYTHING WAS BETTER IN THE 90'S
>>84524600
To be fair, I am glad some tropes from the 80s and 90s have gone away.
Looking at you, revenge of the nerds.
>Wearing a mask and pretending to be someone ells in order to have sex with somebody who thinks you are someone ells.
>Secretly Videotaping an entire dorm-room of college girls and distributing pictures of them.

Because this piece of shit gives me cancer.
