Best cartoons have nods to adults in them but do it so subtly, or not so in the case of animainacs, that they escape anyone but the adult that is really watching them.
heck when i was a child we had hr puff n stuff talk about a nightmare show for children, speed racer, ultra man, made up some of my earliest childhood tv. old school bugs bunnies with racists and sexist jokes in them.
lacing childrens shows with pot references was king back then also, puff the magic dragon, alice in wonderland, alot of our 70s childrens showe were fueled by cocaine and ludes.
90s take at look at batman the animated series, animainiacs, ren and stimpy was great because it was so bleeping twisted and it was on nickolodeon of all the crazy places. tiny toon adventures was good. never got into it but many loved frekazoid and think bob or someone on here did a whole piece about that show.
there were some well ahead of their time shows in the 90s but like most eras you have to sift through the garbage to find it.
being a college kid often home in the afternoons after class got to watch almost all batas, am, and etc and enjoy the heck out of them.
