I distinctly remember Cow and Chicken slipping a joke about "chicken milk" at one point, at least in my translation.
Imagine when I pondered the implications a decade later.

Rugrats and Invader Zim are pretty good contenders as well. In Zim's case, they blatantly ignored the radar and did just about whatever they wanted anyway.

This entire episode was basically full of innuendo. It starts by being called "Members Only" and proceeds from there.

@Japanese Teeth: i couldn't even get past the first minute of that. "Bring thy manhood against mine own, so that we may see who has the upper hand upon the measurement stick!"

I think it contributed to its cancellation: It caused its Periphery Demographic to COMPLETELY overshadow the target demographic due to the sheer audacity and Nickelodeon didn't have the balls to make a separate cartoon block similar to [adult swim].

It's actually pretty easy to get innuendoes past the radar.
Violence, on the other hand, tends to be harder due to more stiff standard.
See what I did there?

I remember an episode of Cow and Chicken that involved a gang of female bikers. They were notorious because they would "break into your home and eat your carpet".

That's how they rolled in the 90s. Kablam was also very good about jokes, though they were a bit more tongue in cheek about it.

Seriously, 90's cartoons were basically a long string of "how much crap can we get away with". I mean, I'm aware that modern cartoons do a fair bit of it as well, but you'd never be able to get away with stuff like the "finger Prince" joke in a cartoon aimed squarely at kids. Even stuff like Adventure Time is aimed at a slightly more mature audience than Animaniacs was.
