imagery so viewer discretion is advised

cartoons that might not have ever
happened if not for Ren & Stimpy and
their wacky adventures good judgment

subjects this animated TV series
straddled the lines of what cartoons

from politics to pop culture or swaying
their celebrity guests hosts to let go
of their fears of offending others and
urging cast members to fully commit to
their characters this Lauren Michaels
creation remains a Saturday night TV
staple while it might be at its most
controversial when unscripted like the
ad-libs by cast members guests or
musical performers during the live
broadcast there is no denying that SNL
as a whole is a worthy entry here
Asian American job we’re glad to hear it
because we had to have a lot of
sensitivity meetings about her she was
very tricky number seven Chappelle’s
Show they painstakingly buy me Samuel
Jackson it’ll get general arguably one
of Comedy Central’s most famous series

tool and comedian Dave Chappelle in hot
water when it was on the air but nasty

number five beavis and butthead lamb
don’t make me use this their laps and
physical appearance are as famous as
they are controversial they’re
everyone’s favorite delinquent teens

this animated sitcom followed the two
titular characters doing basically
whatever they wanted which included
lighting things on fire
dropping bowling balls from rubes and
talking about putting firecrackers up a
cat’s butt all of which were replicated
in real life you know I’ve always been
interested in young people hell I even
made one he did it with a chick on that
magazine cover since such behavior
allegedly led to casualties it also
garnered the show much criticism with
beavis and butt-head idiotic humor being
accused of poisoning the minds of
younger viewers you I’m hold me and for
my hey there will be more among holes

puny little pilot left and a fabulous
flame it is the TV series followed the
day-to-day lives of men who are openly
gay and needless to say it raised much
discussion and reproach specifically
from religious groups
strong as groundbreaking as it was
controversial we are as folk will go
down as one of the most controversial
shows of all time for fun that’s all it
was with its North American counterpart
on Showtime also garnering its share of
