I most liked:

1) Linka Gets Kidnapped, Hooked on Drugs, Goes Heroin Chic and Watches her Cousin Die of a Drug Overdose in Captain Planet

Perhaps feeling that things had been a little too warm and cuddly lately, the creative team behind Captain Planet and the Planeteers decided to shake things up a bit and show their viewership exactly how they really felt about the subject of drug abuse. The episode known as “Mind Pollution” takes a very “that’s what you get, druggie!” approach to drug addiction (at one point Wheeler, while standing over a bleeding drug addict even declares “Oh yeah, well nobody made him take the drug, he did that to himself!”) and is set appropriately in Washington D.C., home of The War On Drugs. This episode centers around 16 year-old Russian planeteer Linka (“Wind!”) and a highly addictive new drug called “Bliss” which is being distributed by the rat-like Ecovillain Verminous Skumm so that he can take over the world by controlling an army of drug addicts, a plan destined to succeed considering how reliable drug addicts are in terms of showing up for things in general. The real trouble begins when Linka’s cousin Boris gets hooked on Bliss; When he runs out, he begs Verminous to give him more in exchange for Linka’s Planeteer ring, an offer Verminous refuses, saying that he’ll only settle for Linka herself, for who knows what disturbing reason. Feigning drugfreenicity, Boris drugs Linka’s snack wrap and delivers her to Skumm. The Planeteers eventually free Linka and flee Skumm’s drug-zombie army only to have the drama conclude with cousin Boris’ abrupt death scene, set ever so tactfully on the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building, teaching us that drugs can cause zombie-like behavior and deaths on top of governmental landmarks.

6) Gambit Relentlessly Pursues Rogue Through His Cajun Sexual Innuendo in X-Men

If there were any questions left unanswered throughout the storied history of cartoons released during the 1990s, “What would Gambit like to do with Rogue if she didn’t have her powers?” was definitely not one of them. To the contrary, this question was one that was perhaps answered the most times, again and again, thanks to Gambit’s implementation of such stealthy pick up lines as “you can drain my energy anytime cher, Gambit has plenty” (while suggestively charging the tip of a pool cue with his powers) and “I’ll teach you plenty of things, if you ask me nice,” Gambit left little doubt in anyone’s mind about his intentions with his object of affection. Meanwhile, innocent nerds who felt uncomfortable whenever Rogue graced the screen looked at each other, shrugged and anxiously awaited the next scene involving Wolverine carving off Sentinel appendages, secretly feeling relieved that it might actually be okay to talk to girls after all.

Really funny, however I did not regularly watch most of these shows :confused:

Man I watched all of those shows when I was a kid.

I watched X-Men profusely, even though they only played the same damn 6-8 episodes every fucking week. As far as the sexual innuendo, kids don’t get the real meaning of it, that’s why we call it “adult humour.” Did you know that Sponge Bob was originally marketed as an adult cartoon? Since its humour was too deep for kids, it became a saturday morning bit. Watch THAT show, it will blow everything away in this list.
