The Best Adult Animation Shows on Hulu
1. Rick and Morty
If you’re late to the party, this fan-favorite centers around the eccentric Smith family — Jerry (Chris Parnell) and Beth (Sara Chalke), their two kids, Summer (Spencer Grammer) and Morty (Harry Belden), and Beth’s father, Rick (Ian Cardoni).
The thing is, Rick is a slightly sociopathic, alcoholic-mad scientist, who drags his grandson on wild adventures through the multiverse, where they both tend to cause a lot of trouble.

2. Bob’s Burgers
In a nondescript New England beach town, Bob Belcher (H. John Benjamin) and his family live in a tiny apartment above their small family restaurant, Bob’s Burgers. Bob and his wife, Linda (John Roberts), and their three kids, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal), aren’t fancy. But what they lack in sophistication, they make up for in humor, heart, and the occasional fart joke.

3. The Simpsons
Known for potentially predicting many of the major events in recent history, the Golden GlobeⓇ-winning series, The Simpsons, is one of the longest-running TV shows ever, with an astounding 35 seasons and counting.
Why has this adult animated comedy lasted so long? Our guess is the show’s satirical take on the average American family, current events, and pop culture.
While Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and baby Maggie are a bit on the dysfunctional side, the show centers around their love for each other and the connections they make in Springfield, the small town they call home.
