With 734 episodes to their name, The Simpsons is currently the longest running scripted series in the history of television.

A notable accomplishment, considering it's a prime time animated series.

While The Flintstones demonstrated that animation could be equally viable in prime time as it was on Saturday mornings, The Simpsons demonstrated even further that animation was not just for children.

Indeed, The Simpsons no doubt paved the way for further animated series catered toward a more mature audience, including South Park, Archer, and Bojack Horseman.

Unlike The Flintstones or The Simpsons, these are shows which are most definitely not for the whole family to enjoy, but rather for parents to tune into after putting the children to bed.


One Redditor was curious to hear what people considered the best animated shows geared toward a mature audience, leading them to ask:
"What's your favorite animated adult show?"

"'Hellva Boss'."

"I don't like the fandom they kinda did the same thing 'My Hero Academia' fans did and made it cringe to like'." - Reddit

Don't Be Fooled By The Title...

"Morel Orel."- Novel_Solvings

One Can Only Hope The Future Will Be This Funny

"Really fond of 'Futurama'."

"It gave Matt Groening the opportunity to explore new ideas and go in a direction which network executives wouldn't allow for 'The Simpsons'."

"'Simpsons' got kind of old and tired and way too formulaic.'

"I really appreciate 'Futurama' because it also gave them the opportunity to have a more solid continuity from episode to episode."

"It's less of a weekend cartoon and more of a tv series."- OleviaCaywood·

A Pre-Historic Masterpiece

"Primal."- FloridaFlamingoGirl

"Holy Sh*tsnacks"

"Archer."- WhenTardigradesFly

For a genre most frequently associated with children, it's truly amazing how an animated series can be as or more moving, funny, and frightening than any live action series.

And for all those accusing the The Simpsons of getting stale or tired, I ask you one simple question.

What would Halloween be without Treehouse of Horror?

We can all agree that some social media trends are fun and harmless, but most of them are pretty ridiculous and either inconvenient or hurt people.

There have been a few escalator trends over the years, mostly one person confusing someone else by touching their arm, passing them a note, or even flirting with them.

Mormon Church Accidentally Spotlights Gay Mormon Fashion Designer—And People Can't Get Enough

A Mormon church tried to stay hip and garner new followers by promoting a fashion line, only to prove to all of us that we're really not as different as the prejudiced people among us would like us to believe.

Let's unpack this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an Instagram account over at @churchofjesuschrist. They regularly promote members of their community, demonstrating what they do, how they give back to their community, and how their religious testimony ties into their mission.

David Brouillette, the ICE agent who fatally shot Joan Durán Guerrero four times during an attempted traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, earlier this month, has sparked outrage after unearthed audio revealed he once left a voicemail for his ex-wife threatening to slit her and her female family members' throats.

In an interview with NPR, Ashley Brouillette shared a profanity-laced voicemail her ex-husband left on Nov. 28, 2025, shortly after she filed for a restraining order against him. The recording, obtained by NPR, captures him speaking with slurred speech before ending with a threat that she and the women in her family should have their throats cut.

Lauren Boebert Dragged After Making Bonkers Claim About Moon Landing Before Correcting Herself

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she told a MeidasTouch reporter that she believes the moon landing was done in an "Amazon warehouse" before quickly correcting her own mistake.

July 20 marked 57 years since the Apollo 11 mission astronauts landed on the Earth's moon. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
