In the ’90s, Cartoon Network was home to several incredible off-kilter and sometimes lewd cartoons, many of which would certainly raise more than a few eyebrows today.

Sonic the Hedgehog‘s 3D video games have varied in quality throughout the years, with few of them ever achieving the same success as the Blue Blur’s side-scrolling adventures.
