Rick & Morty is a television sensation! The show is turning people who never liked cartoons into fanatics and left those of us who have already watched every episode (multiple times) yearning for another cartoon to fill the void. Here a few raunchy cartoons for Rick and Morty lovers. Enjoy!
Â
4. The Awesomes
Synopsis: “From the minds of “Saturday Night Live” veterans Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker comes “The Awesomes,” an animated series about a team of superheroes. Well, not real superheroes, more like the second string. When Mr. Awesome, leader of the greatest superhero team in history, decides to retire, and most of the major players go with him, Awesome’s son, Prock (short for Professor Doctor Awesome) steps up to field his own team of crime fighters. Prock’s team includes Frantic, who is the third-fastest man on Earth; Gadget Gal, who’s really an 85-year-old woman who looks 25, courtesy of a rejuvenation ray; and the Impresario, who uses a jewel in his turban to bring to life things he imagines (though his imagination is somewhat limited). Prock and his crew take on evil while trying to restore the team’s name to its former glory.”

4. The Simpsons
Synopsis: “This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family’s religious neighbour, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.”

2. The Venture Bros
Synopsis: “”Jonny Quest” gets an irreverent but affectionate spoofing in this animated series chronicling the sometimes hair-raising adventures of Hank and Dean Venture, the not-especially-bright twin sons of pill-popping “super-scientist” Dr. Thaddeus “Rusty” Venture. Luckily (for the most part), their safety is overseen by a security guard who uses his license to kill every chance he gets.”

1. Disenchantment

It follows the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and personal demon Luci.

The voice cast features Abbi Jacobson as Bean and includes veteran voiceover artists such as John DiMaggio, Billy West and Maurice LaMarche.”
