11 disturbing vintage cartoons that were TOO dark to be Cuphead bosses

Think the designs for Cuphead’s bosses are a bit trippy?

Even with the content already in the game with constant references to tobacco and alcohol, rather disturbing imagery, as well as the Devil himself along with a few mentions of Hell, it's surprising that this game is rated E by the ESRB.

Hey, maybe we're going back to the good ol days when Popeye would talk mad shit under his breath. Those super old episodes are hilarity incarnate.

Agree, everything in Minnie the moocher by the Fleischers is the most scary sht ever

When I saw too dark I was expecting the racist black face stuff. These aren’t all that bad. The creepiest one is that walrus thing lol. I miss hand drawn animation.

Racist black stuff = dark? No, those cartoons were just the stereotypical imagine of w/e depicted by a cartoon, so of course its gonna be amplified.... (Example, black lady from tom and jerry...wow she was black and a fat lady....woooow so 'dark' :|) Dark is something like "The Hatred" and even that game isnt as 'dark' as many other games out there.

Well it’s darker than anything listed in that article is my point. “11 cartoons too dark for cuphead” I was thinking of the old cartoons that were out of line by today’s standards. Tom and Jerry ain’t old or bad, I’m talking about the blackface stuff.

What made these cartoons so disturbing is their contstant rubber like movement and warped smiles on every evil character.

These cartoons never even tried to be cute, just pure nightmare fuel.

What if they referenced the Old Donald Duck Nazi cartoon in some form?
