The Hilariously Relatable World of Adult Cartoons and Mental Health

Hey there, my fellow enthusiasts of animated mischief! Today, we're setting out on a fun adventure through the quirky and unexpectedly insightful world of adult cartoons and their portrayal of mental illness. Now, before you sigh and think, "Oh great, here comes a series of existential crises softened by doodles," let’s just say, it's going to be a wild ride—and a funny one at that.

First, let’s address the elephant in the room—those marvelous, sassy adult animated TV shows we’ve all binge-watched when we should’ve been doing literally anything else. From Bojack Horseman to Rick and Morty, these shows bravely and humorously navigate the occasionally treacherous path of human (and sometimes non-human) psyche. "Adult humor cartoons," as they are fondly called, really know how to tackle the bizarre side of mental health issues with a side of humor.

The magic of adult cartoons is how they effortlessly portray heavy topics like depression, anxiety, and even narcissism. But instead of turning us into puddles of existential dread, they somehow make it all, well, funny. Take Bojack Horseman, for instance. Who knew a horse with an ego bigger than his acting career could make us reflect on our own life choices while simultaneously cracking us up? It's as if the creators took a checklist of character flaws and made it the fabric of the show. Watching Bojack, with all his flaws, struggles, and antics, feels almost cathartic.

Then, we have Rick and Morty, the best adult cartoon that questions everything you've ever known about reality, family trust, and the multiverse. Morty’s adolescent existential crises are met with Rick’s cynical genius, and throw in a dysfunctional family dynamic—it’s a recipe for relatable mayhem. This show captures the randomness and insanity of mental struggles in a manner only adult animation series can deliver. Is it all chaos? Yes. Does it somehow make our lives feel normal by comparison? Absolutely.

Another honorable mention is F is for Family, where we experience Frank Murphy's constant battle with his temper and, well, adulthood. This adult animated TV show shines a light on the inner workings of stress and dissatisfaction in a way that is as uproarious as it is painfully honest. The hilarity occurs in how it reflects the everyday battles that are all too familiar. Because if a cartoon family from the '70s can tackle their issues with a dose of humor, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us.

Moreover, adult cartoon series like Big Mouth masterfully exaggerate the struggles of puberty with such audacious candor. Yes, teenagers might seem like bundles of hormones with bad decision-making skills, but add animated humor and it turns into comedic gold. Who hasn’t, at some point, laughed at their own teenage embarrassments when seeing them mirrored back in cartoon form?

What makes these shows powerful is their ability to transform serious subject matter into comedic therapy sessions. The exaggerated scenarios offer a safe space to address mental illness without the added baggage of a therapist's couch (and the therapist's bill). That’s the glorious beauty of adult animation—it’s cheaper, more accessible, and you can wear your pajamas!

Now, shifting gears but staying on our hilarious track, ever heard of Squat! Sitcom? This series hilariously peeks into the fitness world's quirks with an unapologetic, animated punch. Watch Squat! now and join the fun at Squat Spot Fitness! The show captures the bizarre rituals and inner dialogues that come with gym life, and how they, too, are sometimes tinted with shades of mental health funnies. Who knew lifting weights could be rekindled with a laugh track?

So, folks, the next time life feels like an overwhelming carousel of Browns, Blues, and everything in between, remember there's an animated character out there, somewhere, who gets it. Whether it's a depressive horse, an omnipotent scientist, or a middle-aged dad stuck in a bygone era, adult cartoons are unmatched in their role of making the absurd, hilarious. After all, sometimes laughter really is the best form of therapy.

That's all for today’s puff piece on adult animation's take on mental chaos. Until next time, keep those laughs hearty and minds clear, or at least vaguely see-through!
