I'm taking it back to my childhood. Nickelodeon had an arsenal of good shows in the 90's. Along with Ren & Stimpy, Aaahh! Real Monsters was one of those shows that pushed the limits on what was acceptable for children's television.
The "Black Humor" or "Humour Noir" style was new and innovative with cartoons in the 90's. I always enjoy the edgy, abnormal content from this series. The creativity was brilliant - from Krumm carrying his eyes in his hands and throwing them around, to Ickis being a small, timid monster then growing 7 times his size with red eyes and fangs when scaring humans.
This show really paved a way for what our society deems acceptable for the youth. Shows like Invader ZIM, Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy all added a special something to a collective of sources that helped develop my estranged imagination. The 1990's was definitely a good time to grow up and watch cartoons lol.
