Man, this cartoon's just...DAMN.

:D

"And before you ask "What's so weird about this one cartoon" here's Dantes description:

The cartoon itself was kind of silly—basically the real King Arthur and his knights get captured and imprisoned in crystal, so Merlin summons a football team from the future to pretend to be the real deals while helping to rescue same real deals. It meant there was a lot of "we don't talk about it" kind of stuff, like Gwenevere thinking future-Arthur is current-Arthur and you just have to wonder "well, wait, did this football jock actually get to bang Gwenevere? Or was she too busy being a Jewel Rider at that point in her life?""

World Of Quest, Gravity Falls, and The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack are filled with WTF in general, but as far as a specific moment, I have a three-way tie:

From World Of Quest, I'm going with the carney who's face is part butt. I jokingly call him Assface.

From Gravity Falls, the whole thing with Mabel and the Smile Dip. It looked so trippy it was hilarious.

From The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack, the episode where K'Nuckles sets off in search of his "sittin' muscle". Hilarious partially because he seemed to have a strong aversion to simply saying butt and partially because he found it frozen in an ice block in a mountain.

I don’t even know anymore.

Courage the Cowardly Dog... Just... Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was full of them and I loved pretty much all of it.

Friendship is Magic also had one of my favorites with Twilight's breakdown in Lesson Zero. It's still one of the funniest moments in the series for me.

Raah gonna lock this thread...

Hmm, Regular Show definitely had its fair share of this(fighting zombies while a zombie movie is going on, fusing together to win a game tournament).

For me, it would definitely have to be in the film Beavis And Butthead Do America where Beavis eats a cactus and starts hallucinating. What follows is fucking awesome.

When it comes to the "main stream", Invader Zim is pretty much WHAT THE FUCK the show.

The first episode of Invader Zim I ever caught when I was younger was Bolognius Maximus.

After that, very little could cause me to WTF. The only other thing I remember off the top of my head was pretty much every Crosses the Line Twice scene with Dr. Barber in Flapjack.

[up][up]Bolognius Maximus was the first episode of Zim I saw too. I believe my first reaction was "WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN—" and turning off the TV after a minute. I only got more squicked when the goth girl in my high school Creative Writing class did a report on Jhonen Vasquez, and mentioned that he also did Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. Before I first saw Zim, I had seen some JTHM panels on her writing folder, and had just about as big of a WTF moment. Once I found out who Jhonen was, I swore off Zim for ages.

It took me a good 7 years to finally rewatch it and say "Oh, I get it now."

Rocko the antropomorpic wallaby enters Heffer's bovine body in Rockos Modern Life to resuscitate his best friend from eating a chicken bone (I can't remember the exact episode though). After that, little surprised me anymore.

(The '90s had wacky cartoons :D)

I remember that King Arthur cartoon!

One of my biggest WTF's comes from this weird movie called Cool Town or something. It had Brad Pitt in it.

The Ren and Stimpy Show is the first thing that pops up when I read the title.

Some of the old cartoons they showed on The Acme Hour on Cartoon Network way before it became all Adult Swim at night. I remember being rather baffled by one jazzy little thing about "the bear who wasn't a bear", for the life of me I can't remember what the title was but it was so wonderfully strange.

Since we are talking positive WTF moments, I'll have to go with My Life As A Teenage Robot, which I assumed was just a satire of Anime and Teenage Girl TV shows (and it is) but also turned out to do homages (and good ones too!) to early 20th century cartoons, such as Flash Gordon, Dr Seuss and even Little Nemo In Slumberland!
