Yes, Eight Crazy Nights! Created by Adam Sandler, so that may or may not be one of the reasons you disliked it.

Yes! that's the one! I knew I wasn't crazy, thanks!
Some years ago I catched a glimpse of a cartoon, I thought it was a animated movie, not a cartoon series. I remember there was this man and he was talking to an old man (I may be recalling it wrong, but I think the old man was drawn in a more humoreous style than the rest of the characters, kind of like Mr. Magoo), they were in a construction site. I remember the old man gets trapped inside a portable toilet, and gets thrown down a hill. When the old man gets out he says something like "Oh, the most terrible thing! I'm covered with human feces!". I changed channel at that moment, because I did not thought it was funny, but catched it again later when the old man takes the man to a gym where there are some other guys playing basketball. The old man comes with a boy (I thing he was redhead), he is taking care of him while his mother is out (or something). The old man starts ranting about how the man can't play basketball because alcohol has destroyed his body (at this point I was like "What kind of cartoon is this?"). The man plays basketball anyway, and he convinces the boy to play with him against the other guys. Shirts versus Skins. I remember the boy starts being very shy and insecure but the man is able to motivate him and they win. The other guys are forced to eat the shorts of a fat man (because they lost the game). I remember that during the game, the mother of the boy appears and seems very happy to see him playing, but after they win, the man encourage the boy to make fun of the other guys... I don't remember what he screams, but it really shocks the mother, and gets angry to both the man and the old man.
That's all I can recall, I really disliked it, but it bugs me. I think I watched it in cartoon network (Latinamerican), and it was still too early for adult cartoons, that's the reason it got me so intrigued in the first place.
