Satire, sci-fi chaos, and sitcom mayhem, all in one adult-animation lineup
Are you in the mood for late-night laughs? Disney+ and Hulu on Disney+* is home to a range of adult comedies and animation, from long-running sitcoms to sci-fi adventures. Our guide breaks down our animated picks into three different lanes: Animated Sitcoms, Sci-Fi Comedy, and Action Comedy. There’s really something for everyone in the world of adult animation. Add these laughs to your Watchlist now, and let the cartoons do the talking.
Animated Sitcoms
The Simpsons
Debuting in 1989, The Simpsons made a weekly sport of needling American life. Homer fumbles through the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Marge keeps the house afloat, Bart scrawls his punishments, and Lisa’s conscience cuts through the noise. Over multiple decades, couch gags, “D’oh!”s, and the occasional Mr. Burns scheme sit next to surprisingly tender beats — one reason it’s become the longest-running U.S. primetime scripted series.
Family Guy, Hulu
In Quahog, Peter picks fights with a Giant Chicken, Stewie builds death rays, and Brian nurses a martini while the show smash-cuts to absurdity. Since 1999, Family Guy has used cutaways, “Road to…” numbers, and side-eye from Lois, Meg, and Chris to roast American life — still outrageous, still quick on the punchline, now deep into its run.

Bob's Burgers, Hulu
Oddball charm with sincere warmth. Just a few ways we’d describe Bob’s Burgers. Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene, and Louise keep the hope alive with optimism, song, and heartfelt adventures. It’s a show that turns their tough, relatable situations like health-inspector run-ins and money troubles into a new tale filled with positivity that we think you’ll love. Creator Loren Bouchard proves that even a slow lunch rush can create a perfectly toasted tale. (Hulu)*

American Dad!, Hulu
The homeland-security spoof turned character-driven comedy never fails to put a smile on our faces. CIA agent Stan Smith must balance household chores with national security, both of which he often makes worse! His patriotism often collides with his wife Francine’s patience, Rodger’s (his alien roommate) disguises, and a talking goldish. Since 2005, the show has continued to evolve and provide those late-night laughs. (Hulu)*

The Cleveland Show, Hulu
Cleveland Brown moves to Stoolbend, Virginia, hoping for a quieter life with high-school sweetheart Donna Tubbs and their family. Across multiple seasons, the Family Guy spinoff leans on neighbor Tim the Bear, brisk musical stings, and small-town curveballs to provide laughs. Cleveland’s easygoing style steadies the household, even when the folks next door are, literally, bears. (Hulu)*

Animated Sci-Fi Comedies
Solar Opposites, Hulu
Aliens Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse crash-land in suburban America and can’t decide whether Earth is awful or amazing. Their mission: protect the seemingly harmless Pupa that will one day terraform the planet — even as it chews the furniture. The series is executive produced by Mike McMahan, Josh Bycel, and Sydney Ryan and produced by 20th Television Animation. It stuffs razor-sharp satire, wild sci-fi riffs, and surprising heart into rapid-fire episodes. Catch up now before the final season airs this Fall! (Hulu)*

Marvel's M.O.D.O.K., Hulu
The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing faces a new foe: suburban life. After running his evil tech firm into bankruptcy, M.O.D.O.K. juggles PTA meetings, rival start-ups, and a crumbling marriage while plotting a comeback. 10 stop-motion episodes mix workplace satire with Marvel lore, showcasing Patton Oswalt’s giant-headed antihero as he learns that world domination might be easier than family therapy.

Futurama, Hulu
Fry stumbles out of a cryo tube into New New York to join one-eyed pilot Leela and boozing robot Bender. Matt Groening’s sci-fi comedy jumps from hijinks (“Roswell That Ends Well”) to heartbreak (“The Late Philip J. Fry”) in a second. Under all the lasers, jokes, and futuristic absurdity, it’s a found-family comedy with a soft heart. (Hulu)*

Animated Action Comedy
Archer, Hulu
The suave, confident, and devastatingly handsome Sterling Archer may be the world’s greatest spy, but he still has issues with his friends and colleagues who live to undermine and betray one another. Whether set in 1940s Los Angeles, the jungles of South America or the dangerous islands of the South Pacific. This animated comedy spans time and place to navigate Sterling, Lana, Malory, Cheryl/Carol/Charlotte, Cyril, Pam, Ray, and Krieger’s misguided misadventures that range from attempting to save the world from nuclear disaster to selling illegal narcotics to Colombian cartels.

Adult animation comedy strives on style, story, and satire (not to mention laughs!), and this lineup proves it. It often does what live-action won’t: deadpan office mentdowns, noir mysteries, and kitchen-sink family chaos.
