Hammerman

MC Hammer was the biggest rapper of the ’90s who starred in his very own animated show where he fought crime with magical church shoes. No, seriously, this happened and it was amazing.

The Adult Swim classic punched society in the face with hilarious cultural commentary and brilliant satire that will certainly be relevant forever. (Netflix is actually removing the series despite an outcry from fans)

This technically isn’t a show but the action-adventure flick about a white blood cell policeman (voiced by Chris Rock) battling a deadly virus is a lovable cult classic.
