“Kids” in quotations because sometimes “kids” shows aren’t really just for children, judging by their nuanced jokes.
Could be old, could be new.
I like a lot, two that stand out lately are Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and Star Trek: Prodigy.
Going back a ways, Reboot and Beast Wars. (Reboot, upon relatively recent revisit earlier this year, has a few jokes that I certainly wouldn’t have gotten as a kid nor even as a teen.)
You?


Azumanga Dioh
The Sisters Grimm
Darkwing Duck
Gargoyles
Fraggle Rock
Phineas and Furb
Animaniacs
Just some off the top of my head that I have enjoyed rewatching recently
Animaniacs? Well now that I think about it, yes.
Rob Paulsen is a fucking genius of words though, even after his throat cancer…

Starblazers.Battle of the Planets.Interestingly, these were Japanese imports that were re-edited and dubbed well. One of these days I’m going to watch the Japanese versions because supposedly they are a little more adult.I’m not sure what exactly you’re referring to, but if you find a couple relevant links, please share, I’m curious now…
I missed the “jokes” part of the original question. These are just kids cartoons I grew up with and enjoy rewatching as an adult.
Oh come on, you know Gadget Hackwrench was about one of the sexiest Disney characters…

Just as an aside, recommendations of good Japanese dubs (not a big fan of subs despite being a fast reader) are always welcome too.
Been meaning to rewatch that for a long while now.
I do love me some Keith David. Despite seeing (hearing…) him in many roles before he’ll always be Commander Anderson from Mass Effect to me first though. Dunno why, but it’s the most memorable role for some reason. (For me.)
