The Angry Beavers

A scrawny, 11-year-old chicken named Chicken reluctantly watches out for his beefy "little" sister, a 7-year-old cow named Cow. The unconventional offspring of two human parents, the two young animals navigate their way through suburbia, encountering problems not only at school, but with the devilish schemes of the Red Guy, a crimson-colored antagonist of many guises whose singular intent is to make the siblings' lives miserable. If the character design and offbeat humor of "Cow and Chicken" cause viewers to recall "The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991)" there's a good reason: creator David Feiss worked on that irreverent animated series as well.

Trivia
The first Cow and Chicken short had rougher animation than the series that followed, and featured much darker themes. In the first cartoon, Chicken goes to Hell for smoking cigarettes, and is tortured by Satan while he's there. After this harsh episode, the content of the series was significantly toned down, the animation was brightened up, and Satan's name was changed to "The Red Guy".

Quotes
Chicken: Is this cartoon ever gonna make sense?

Alternate versions
Some episodes were shown in "Smelly Telly" where viewers would get cards from the Warner Bros. Stores and when a number matches on the card, the viewer would scratch and smell the odor on a certain object (i.e. the red guy, cow's gum, etc.) the episodes, when shown on re-runs, no longer have the "Smelly Telly" feature.

I Want To Be The King And Queen Of Cheese!

This is a masterpiece! It's a brilliant seven minute cartoon which achieves very satisfying amounts of filth and subversion, most of it totally under the radar. Each episode follows the adventures of sweet natured Cow, her moody older brother Chicken, and their nemesis The Red Guy, who's basically Satan and never wears pants. (He has a suitable alias every time, such as I. Ben Pantsed, Larry Lackslacks, and my favourite, Baron von Nein Lederhosen.) All three are voiced by Charlie Adler. It might not be to everyone's taste - Cow and Chicken's insane human "parents" manage to disturb even me sometimes - but I can't recommend it highly enough!
