7 Kids Cartoons That Adults Watch Too ...

Who would have thought that there are so many kids cartoons for adults out there?! I won’t lie; I have watched most of these shows on my own without any children present. Is that weird? Maybe, but who cares? There are a lot of kids cartoons that adults watch too, even without their kids around. So here are seven kids cartoons for adults to enjoy too.

1 Spongebob Squarepants

Who doesn’t love “Spongebob"?! Seriously, I know people in their 40s that enjoy watching Spongebob just as much as little kids do. It’s the kind of show that the whole family can enjoy watching together. This may seem like the most obvious choice on a list of kids cartoons for adults, but it’s a cartoon nonetheless and it’s interesting that so many adults love to watch it!

2 Gravity Falls

“Gravity Falls” is a really weird show. The premise is that this set of twins moves in with their great-uncle Stan and it seems like there are a lot of weird things happening in the town. That doesn’t seem like too strange of a plot, but when I’ve watched the show with other people who aren’t into it, they look at me like I’m crazy for enjoying it. Although it’s really weird, it’s also a lot of fun!

3 My Little Pony

This is the only show on the list that I haven’t watched. It may seem odd, but there is really a huge adult fan base for “My Little Pony.” Even more surprisingly, it’s a lot of male adults that are watching it! They say that the show sends these amazing messages of love, acceptance, and friendship, but I wouldn’t know since I haven’t seen it. I don’t judge those who watch it, but I’m still surprised by it.

4 Phineas and Ferb

I used to not be able to stand this show and now I think I love it more than my younger siblings do! I know so many people around my age (early 20s) and older than me that love to watch “Phineas and Ferb”! Who knows what it is that is so entertaining about this show, but it really is just so much fun to watch. As a reference point, my mother always says that it sort of reminds her of “Rugrats,” but better.

5 The Regular Show

I’ve watched a few episodes of this show and found it pretty funny, but could never get into it enough to want to watch more. “The Regular Show” has attracted a lot of adult viewers and I can’t figure out why. It seems that the show is aimed for an older child to maybe the early teens and yet adults are tuning in! It has some pretty odd-ball characters and it can definitely cause a few laughs.

6 Adventure Time

This one really confuses me! I’ve only watched one episode of this show and it was so weird. I’m sure that’s what people like about it, but it just didn’t draw me in. To be quite honest I couldn’t tell you what it was about if I tried. It wasn’t a bad show; it just didn’t make me want to watch more. Other than that, it was pretty funny and it had a vampire, so that’s pretty cool.

7 The Amazing World of Gumball

Another weird but fun to watch show. It seems that adults really like to watch strange kids cartoons. “The Amazing World of Gumball” is about a family where the dad is a rabbit, the mom is a cat, and the kids are a rabbit, a cat, and a fish. Other than that I have no idea what this show is about! It’s really cute and funny though, so I enjoy watching it. Now that I think about it, cartoons are really strange these days…

You’re never too old for cartoons! It may seem weird that these shows attract so many adults, but I think it’s kind of fun and interesting. Do you watch any of these shows? What would you add to this list?

nehoy As you can tell, i'ma huge spongebob fan :) watching it now

Victoria Geez, If you're going to criticize a show at least inform yourself if watch more then one episode. Adventure time is about a post apocalyptic world where Finn is the last human alive on earth. There are pretty dark and dramatic episodes featuring the war that ended their earth but they don't show them on tv because if its adult themes. The episode "I remember you" made me cry for like 30 minutes lol. In each episode you can notice squelettons of dead people and the remains of the human race destroyed. You need to watch all if the episodes to understand it's such a great series.
Stefani Watching cartoons with the kids I babysit usually leads to me watching the shows at home to find out what happens next. Pretty much love Phineas and Ferb.
valentina Hey you forgot MAD that is a good one i love it
kayla Fosters home for imaginary friends is my favorite cartoon of all times! Me and my kiddos watch it all the time!
AWP @happy bronies!
Catherin Phineas and ferb was actually a story of a skitzofrenic girl( Candace) who believed all of this was happening but when she told her mom it was never actually there and I think she ended up committing suicide 😥
Marina Oh, man. You just listed the only things I ever watch on tv. I'm the oldest of four younger siblings, so having them win the argument over what to watch just made me get hooked onto these. I love them all. :) Especially when they make references to cult movies. (My Little Pony had The Big Lebowski, Regular Show had Clockwork Orange) Love it!!
rose My 4 favorite shows are on this list. Thank you.
Johanna Today's cartoons are really weird. I kind of like the ones from the early nineties but I don't watch them often because a lot of them have something depressing about them.
Kimberlin Lots of adults watch Arthur, it's such a good show!
Delilah 5-7 all the way xD.
lucykoncurat_ A lot of characters in kids shows are based on important things like spongebob is based in the seven deadly sins
- Heather Oh! I didn't know that!
Megan Rarity is best pony.
Courtney I no longer watch any of theses shows. However I do still love Disney movies :)

MrsRJ I have 3 girls my youngest is a month old so she's not into tv lol. But my other two also watch Max and Ruby, Bubble Guppies and Team Uzoomie and I am right there watching with them 😄
happy what do they call guys who watch my little pony? i forgot...
AWP Can I just point out, that a LOT of adults who watch MLP GREW up with the original?! Nothing wrong with it! No different then rewatching any show! Except that this show is updated!
Kaylyn Regular show was originated from a short video that's on YouTube about two characters who take acid while working at a gas station. I'm convinced the whole show is suppose to be an acid trip. As for adventure time it's a post apocalyptic setting if you watch certain episodes you pick up on that. Everything in the land of Oo is the aftermath if the apocalypse.
Natasha I like watching inspector gadget, bugs bunny and tweety show, and scooby doo
Punky Regular Show is filled with tons of adult innuendoes, that's why it's so fun for adults to watch. Plus lots of references to 80-90's culture for us to enjoy :)
Melanie Adventure time is pretty good to watch I love it when I catch a new ep, but yes very weird. Regular show's characters are in their early 20s and has those jokes that only adults will get. Another is Bob's Burgers!!
