Sit down, shut up. Jason Bateman, will forte, and will arnette are high school teachers. It lasted one season with fox giving it random timeslots.

Tigtone!!!
I don't see Aeon Flux mentioned yet. The Maxx is very good too. Duckman I remember being hilarious, but I dunno if starring Jason Alexander counts as a deep cut.

All of the adult swim shows like ATHF, Brak Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Squidbillies, Home Movies, Metalocalypse, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, Sealab 2021, and probably a few others I can't remember. Also, not animated but I would put Sifl & Olly in the mix because it fucking rocks.

Fritz the Cat. Not to be confused with Felix the Cat. Fritz the Cat was, essentially, an adults only version of Felix. And by adult only I mean pornographic.
I'm also not seeing anyone mention Mission Hill so throw that onto the pile. It's hella good.
Also Clone High.

Trip tank

Ralph Bakshi made an animated series for HBO called Spicy City. It is very adult, and not something I see mentioned often.
SlackerCats - obscure, ran for half a season
Clerks The Animated Series - obscure, ran for half a season
Carol and the end of the world (Mainstream but wildly serene, surreal, and overtly human)
Moral Oral - pretty dark adult show
Ren and Stimpy - pretty dark for a kids show
I'm sure I'll think of a few more
My friend and I still quote clerk's to this day! Such a great show. So dumb, but great!
I'm surprised Ren and Stimpy made it in the obscure list. They were about as popular as anything when they were on.

Maybe the PJ’s
That one was a good one. It's a shame that's the show that ultimately brought down Vinton Studios, financially. They were the ones who did the California raisins commercials, and the M&Ms commercials, among other things.
That crash is what ultimately got Phil Knight,of Nike fame, to gain a majority share of the studio and fire Will Vinton. He then put his son, Travis Knight, in charge of the studio, and changed the name to Laika.
I had animation instructors who worked in the PJs before they were all laid off. Everyone was bitter about the Vinton getting fired. I did get to meet Vinton once too, so that was neat!
Drawn Together?
I mean that was advertised like crazy on comedy Central when it was on the air.
Same with the Oblongs when it was on adult swim. They had Will Ferrell on the show.
