* ''WesternAnimation/GaryAndMike''

A {{Sitcom}} that is animated. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin You probably worked that out already.]] Often a PrimeTimeCartoon, and usually geared towards adults.

The NotAllowedToGrowUp and ComicBookTime tropes are the rule rather than the exception here, and animated sitcoms are especially prone to becoming [[LongRunner long runners]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo''[[note]]It originated as an animated buddy KidCom targeted towards older children. Although the show ended up being for preschoolers, it still uses a lot of sitcom tropes[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''

* ''WesternANimation/WhatsWithAndy''

[[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Although exceptions do exist]], animated sitcoms are generally known for being more outlandish, surreal, and often [[AnimatedShockComedy raunchier]] than their live-action counterparts, largely due to the animated form having none of the budget concerns or restrictions that can plague live-action sitcoms. As such, many of them also fall under FantasticComedy, but even seemingly straightforward and down-to-earth shows can take a sharp turn for the bizarre. They're also particularly susceptible to having a MusicalEpisode.

The genre dates back to at least 1960 with the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', but it exploded in popularity in the early 90's with the runaway success of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', a heavily satirical and often bizarre animated DomCom that would quickly grow to become one of the most acclaimed, longest-running, and ([[SeinfeldIsUnfunny in its hayday]]) controversial shows in television history. Following that, [[FollowTheLeader just about every television network wanted a slice of the pie]], with wildly varying degrees of success, and the animated sitcom has since become the dominant form of adult animation on television. Almost every show on this list that followed it will probably cite ''The Simpsons'' as a direct inspiration.
