What show/cartoon has a messed up premise the more you think about it?

For example the cartoon from the early 2000’s “My Gym Partner Is A Monkey!”; Adam Lyon is a human boy sent to an animal school because his last name is Lyon. Now he has to go to school with snakes, alligators, bears, sharks, etc.

Also another premise of an early 2000s show “The Fairly Odd Parents” about a boy with neglectful parents and an abusive babysitter being granted unlimited wishes but only under the stipulation that he remains depressed, and any wish or memories of his time with the fairy god parents are then wiped from him, essentially leaving him with no childhood memories but negative ones. Yeah he did wind up keeping his fairy god parents but what about all the other kids with fairies? And what about it he didn’t?

Anyway, what are some you could think of? Hope everyone in your lives is happy, healthy and alive. Have a great Saturday.
