For all intents and purposes, Hulu is kind of the go-to destination for adult animated sitcoms, it kinda has a monopoly on the market, what with it being owned by Disney and all. It fosters edgier content than its more family-focused counterpart, like more adult-oriented shows and yeah, a ton of sitcoms of varying quality. For animation fan, though, what sorta sitcoms are out there for you to enjoy on Hulu... quite a bit actually.
6. South Park
Comedy Central's South Park perhaps toes the line a bit when it comes to "adult animated sitcom," but it still counts, following the tales of a group of elementary school students dealing with increasingly zany situations all while serving as commentary that holds no punches and often takes no sides.
While it finds itself in controversy a lot, mostly due to some subjects the show covers, it has manages to continue getting new episodes nearly 30 years later and fosters a devoted fanbase and solid, if not offensive, humor.
5. Futurama
Futurama started back on Fox before getting canned, revived by Comedy Central, then canned again, and is now under Hulu. The premise is pretty simple; Philip J. Fry is from 2000, but is transported to the distant future and must adjust -- though he did so rather easily -- to his new life in the future.
Working for his distant relative as a delivery boy across the unvierse alongside his cyclopse love interest, Leela, robot best bud, Bender, and a whole host of other companions, this is a must-watch if you like science-based humor or nonsenical laughs.
4. Family Guy
Family Guy basically needs no introduction, it's among the shows you just think about when the topic of adult animated sitcoms pop up, it's crass, sometimes offensive, and at a time had a lot of edge. Of course, over time, that edge has been smoothed out, but that doesn't mean the show can't be funny.
Following the Griffins; an average American family living in Quahog, Rhode Island, each character has their own something to bring to the table, be it the patriarch of the family, Peter, who often breeds trouble whever he goes and wraps his family up in it, to the youngest son of the family, Stewie, whose inventions often lead to some wacky adventures alongside Brian, the family's talking dog.
All in all, it's a solid sitcom that doesn't often require you watch previous episodes to understand.
3. The Simpsons
Okay, if Family Guy basically needed no introduction, The Simpsons needs no introduction, it basically founded the adult animated sitcom formula. A simple family living in the dubiously located Springfield. Started as a short, it quickly turned into its own thing that has been running for well over three decades now.
The show follows the everyday life of the Simpsons household, comprised of dim-witted father, Homer, housewife and caring mother, Marge, wise-for-her-age, Lisa, rebelious youngster, Bart, and baby, Magie. It's been such an influencial show within not just the entertainment medium but also internet culture as a whole. On top of that, with all the episodes, you'll have quite the binge sessions if you're looking to enjoy a solid animated sitcom.
2. Bob's Burgers
While The Simpsons often throws in some zany, sometimes unbelievable, antics, Bob's Burgers is more about the little successes. Following the Belcher family as they scrape by while running their on-again-off-again successful burger joint, it's perfect for someone who's looking to just enjoy some dry humor that works. The voice casting is impeccible and the general vibe the characters give off compliment each other pretty well.
It's largely an adult animated sitcom for the everyman, little jokes that make sense for those who are working class parents who know. That's not to say, though, you can't enjoy the show if you aren't a parent, it's still a great show with plenty to offer.
1. King of the Hill
Similarly to Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill has very little zany antics, it really is just the daily life of a blue collar worker in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas. Working as a salesman for a propane company, Hank Hill provides for his family while his wife, Peggy, jumps around a handful of different jobs like subbing for the school's Spanish teacher, to which she is... not really that good at it.
Where King of the Hill really shines, though, is just feeling a lot more like the daily life of a family, it's not trying to be entertaining with wacky storylines or crazy people, it's just a show about an average Joe living life and having to come to terms with changing standards.
There's a reason, after all, this show is getting a reboot complete with aged up characters and what seems like compelling new storylines. Here's hoping, though, it keeps to the formula that made it a real animated classic.
