Happy Tree Friends: Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow/Double Whammy/Autopsy Turvy (2006)
A genuine masterpiece of an episode (yes, seriously)
Happy Tree Friends has always been a show that never really cared when it came to plot, but that was always the point. No one knows or likes Happy Tree Friends for its stories, but what makes it so iconic is its exaggerated use of gore that becomes funnier with each episode. Heck, you could even argue that most characters go through development in the show without it being too complicated. Basically, stories were never really a factor for the show... until Double Whammy and Autopsy Turvey released.
I won't spoil much for those who haven't watched this episode yet, but every time I watch this episode I am genuinely stunned that "Happy Tree Friends" of all shows was able to move me so much. This episode has the best example of going over PTSD that I have ever seen. Flippys character was always dark comedy to begin with, but now they actually use his mental illness to show off how struggling it is for victims who struggle with this disorder.
It's such a cleverly made and hinted episode that I can't help but fall in love with it every single time. Please, if you have not watched this episode, you need to see it. It balances dark comedy and the struggles that come from mental illness perfectly without being insensitive. This will forever be (at least in my eyes) one of the greatest episodes in cartoon history, honestly up there with most high rated Simpsons, SpongeBob, and South Park episodes.
Canimals (2011)
Possibly one or the most underrated shows ever
Look, when it comes to shows, I love as much as the next guy. I'm a huge fan of Simpsons, regular show, Total drama, basically highly rated shows of that nature.... but even then, I always have considered canimals as not only an underrated classic, but probably (besides Red vs Blue and Happy Tree Friends) the most underrated show I have ever seen. Canimals is a show about several little cans that have gained lives as animals, such as cats, dogs, frogs, owls, etc. Each or the animals have their own name, personality, or something specifically that makes them unique from the rest. It's what makes the show so amazing, you can have a favourite character for a reason as most of the time, if theyre featured in an episode, they will always serve a purpose. Although, as much as I adore this show and it's characters, the only thing stopping it from being a 10/10 is that to be fair, the writing isn't exactly top tier. It's not because the canimals can't talk, but mostly because most plots may switch depending on the episode, or some episodes just end with a sad ending for no particular reason. With that said though, this rarely happens, and you'll probably find yourself still enjoying most of the episodes. If your into shows that give off the same energy as early Disney XD or something you'd see during the peak days of YouTube, you'll probably love this show as much as I do. However, if you care more about plot and character development, maybe this isn't the choice for you.
Being Ian: The Kelley Boys and the Mysterious Lighthouse Mystery (2004)
Most underrated cartoon ever?
Being Ian has always remained as an underappreciated masterpiece, and this episode is no different. It was hard to pick a best episode from the show, as they are all amazing, but I think this one takes the cake for its humor alone I've always been a huge fan of the show, because it was never out of touch, and it knew what it wanted to be, but sadly, basically nobody tuned into it. This episode is bound to make anyone laugh, and I don't possibly see how anyone could not like this show, as every character is so likeable, and everything is so over exaggerated (for humorous purposes obviously). Highly, HUGHLY recommend.
