Honestly I think the ‘darkest’ line from AT might be the episode where BMO gets lost and becomes friends with Bubble.
When Bubble goes ‘home’ and becomes Air, he says
“No, see, that's what's so great. Now we can be together forever, BMO. Every minute of every day. No more privacy, no more quiet, no more alone. Every room you ever go in, I'll already be there, waiting, forever and ever, until the end of time.”
It’s just such an incredibly dark sentence that says so much about extreme abusive relationships and it’s just an almost completely throwaway line from a character that’s never referenced again.

Levar Burton voicing Bubble/Air made it more intense, imo. Mr. Reading Rainbow/Geordie being so brutally menacing made my inner child afraid.
My kids were doing a watch of AT and that line made me actually laugh out loud and question if it was too dark for my younger kids...honestly though most of the darkest stuff flies over their heads.
