Grandma Addams is a full on witch.

They also drink poison and get electrocuted for fun. Plus things like the bear rug and other things in the house that point to something supernatural being involved.
Uncle Fester has electrokinesis abilities.
It is implied that those abilities are the result of having undergone electroshock treatment countless times, not being of otherwise spooky origins
Considering it doesn't work like that, I think it still counts as supernatural.
Oh you know that for sure? Have you given someone electroshock therapy until they either died or operated like a permanent human battery? Where's your empirical evidence, sir!?
I think I just classify it as “fantasy” and leave it at that
I'd argue supernaturality is the defining characteristic of fantasy.
Plenty of fantasy lacking a supernatural element
Like what? What makes them fantastical?
Mediaeval setting 🤷 often advertised as fantasy without magix or dragons
Depends on the fantasy, imo. There are many fantasies in which supernatural things are actually quite natural within the setting.
Obelix type shit
This sounds like something Hideo Kojima came up with.
In Wednesday, Gomez used to have those same powers and Pugsley has them too.
Wasn't the original Thing just a weird guy living in their house?
Yes. Very first Addams family comic, Thing is the guy at the top of the stairs.

Bearded Lurch looks weird
The most transgressive thing about the Addams family is their actual love and devotion to each other.
My hands aren't disembodied, but they have minds of their own.
Shared this show with my dad, appreciate the positive memories today, thanks!
