I'm going for the extremely weird angle, not a particular love angle as I found the show a bit lame as a kid:
The Dutch cartoon Purno de Purno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o6MIJ7Iq1U
It was animated on an amiga 2000. The titular character 'Purno' in his purple spandex suit has a couple of adventures that are very weird. In the linged cartoon he's searching for a princess hidden in 'de kiettelaars' grotto' where you must know that 'kietelaar' is a Dutch word that can mean 'the one who tickles' or 'the clitoris'. In this comic it is a weird looking guy that talks with an creole accent and is tickling Purno and himself in a rather well.. sexual manner. The 'grotto' or cave is a bit vulva-looking. He is rewarded byy the princess with many kisses. Purno reflects 'even though her beauty was stolen, shes a really good kisser'
This is no coincidence, there is plenty of overt sexual overtones, with Purno once entering the vagina of a giant naked lady.
To be fair, non of those sexual references register when watching it as a kid, but when you reflect on it later in life it is utterly bizarre that that was aired on regular televison in a kids' show.

Sport Billy had a weird premise. Monchhichi was another weird one. Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea was really trippy.

The opening theme still pops in my head every once in a while.
Like right now.
That one episode where one of their rich cousins or something has a pocket dimension literally in their pocket is the one that always stuck with me. While trying to figure out if I just hallucinated that, I found the list of episodes on Wikipedia, each with a one-line description of the plot, and they are just so funny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Angry_Beavers_episodes
"Norb lives his dream of being a Lipizzaner stallion."
I can't find anything similar to what I'm thinking of, so maybe I just hallucinated it?
There were so many odd ones, but it was a great show.
I remember there being an episode where Norbert became really good at plastic surgery and went into a competition where he had to turn his subject into a photo-realistic platypus and even as a kid I was like “this show is unhinged”. -

Nails the 'weird ' brief, does it not?

The Dark Harvest episode
YEEEEAAHHHHH ULTRA PEEPI

Ren and Stimpy was doing some wild things back in the day
I'm not sure I really watched it as a kid. Loved it as a young adult. It was also really hit or miss.
I'm not even sure I'd call it a show for kids. But it's hard to top its weirdness

Not sure if it counts as a cartoon, but 'The Oblongs' still lives rent-free in my head after seeing it on Adult Swim years and years ago.
I don't know why, but I think of the Oblongs every time I see Steven Miller's head. Like Milo grew up to be him or something lol
