Comedy

Strange

A gleefully absurd animated comedy where God and Satan are reincarnated as talking cats forced to coexist in a human household. It's irreverent, silly, and deeply committed to its ridiculous premise—like watching someone's fever dream about cosmic warfare played for laughs. Perfect for anyone who loves animated comedy that swings for the fences.

If you liked this

Hazbin Hotel2019

Similar irreverent energy mixing theology with comedy, sharp character writing, and willingness to be weird without apology. Visually inventive and genuinely funny about the absurdity of redemption.

But The musical numbers can feel forced, and the earnest moments jar against the chaos. Dense mythology that demands attention.

BoJack Horseman2014

Animated comedy with a cynical edge, absurdist humor nested in real emotional stakes, and a world where outrageous premises are treated seriously. Sets a template for what adult animation can do.

But Darkly depressive at times. Early seasons can feel thin before the show hits its stride. Not always funny in ways you expect.

Scavengers Reign2023

Adult animation that commits fully to a bold, weird premise without winking. Visual storytelling, strange creature design, and comedy that emerges from character and chaos rather than punchlines.

But Quite serious and occasionally bleak for long stretches. Less interested in traditional laughs than in creating an unsettling atmosphere.

The wildcard

Something you would not have found on your own.

Little Demon2022

Demonic family forced into quotidian domestic situations, playing the cosmic against the grocery run. Both ask: what if evil lived with you and had to do chores?

Animated series where the Antichrist's daughter navigates middle school. Genuinely dark theology played for comedy, character-driven, visually sophisticated, endlessly creative about household life with supernatural stakes.

But Only got 10 episodes before cancellation. Darker tone than most comedy, which some find exhausting. Requires buy-in to a very specific premise.

Big Mouth2017

Animated comedy about ridiculous characters in absurd situations. Shameless, anarchic, built on character voices and rapid-fire jokes about the mundane meeting the surreal.

But Crude to the point of exhaustion. Humor is extremely broad; if you don't land on its wavelength early, you won't find it later.

Inside Job2021

Comedy about impossible hierarchies and cosmic nonsense in an animated workplace. Weird, paced fast, genuinely inventive in its premise execution. Short and punchy.

But Cancelled after one season. Unresolved plot threads and a sense of incompleteness. Conspiracy humor can feel thin without proper landing.

Disenchantment2018

Animated fantasy comedy with dark edges and character-driven humor. Groening's signature style applied to a world where the outlandish is normalized, with surprisingly warm character dynamics.

But Inconsistent quality across seasons. Can feel like it's coasting on premise alone. Later seasons struggle to justify their own existence.

Paradise PD2018

Adult animated comedy that's aggressively committed to being crude and offensive. If you want comedy with no safety rails and constant escalation, this delivers.

But Often mistakes shock value for humor. Premise-dependent in the worst way. Frequently more exhausting than funny.

Pantheon2022

Sci-fi animated series with wit and imagination. Deals with technology and consciousness through a comedic lens but with real stakes underneath.

But Tonal shifts between comedy and drama can feel jarring. Second season lost momentum. Requires patience.

Q-Force2021

Irreverent spy comedy animated series that commits to its absurdity. Fast-paced jokes and a willingness to parody spy tropes without getting bogged down.

But Cancelled after one season. Not all jokes land. Can feel like it's trying too hard to be provocative rather than actually being funny.

All Hail King Julien2014

Both are comedies built on taking a core ridiculous premise (a lemur king, fighting cats) and drilling down into what happens when you just commit fully to its logic without apology.

Absurdist animated comedy series that takes a minor film character and builds a surreal, anarchic world. Weird voice work, commitment to bits, comedy that values strangeness over structure.

But Intentionally chaotic—narrative coherence is not the priority. Humor is very specific; if it doesn't click, it's agonizing. Not for anyone who needs plot.
