Adult Swim OPO

I've been watching Relocated at the website every week and it just keeps getting better.

haha I mean Delocated

RIP Frisky Dingo my favorite show ever pretty much

lol relocated. i tried the 1st one wanting to like it and didnt laff much...will give it another go. yah frisky dingo is the shit

Mighty Boosh coming soon!

Totally loving Delocated so far.

i've been spreading the frisky dingo gospel for like two years now to mostly blank stares. i think both seasons are out on DVD now, so i'm thinking of reinstating sunday night tv night and making everybody i know watch it.

need to check out delocated.

Frisky Dingo is seriously fucking dope stuff

shoulda been hueg

prob my OPO, with home movies not far behind.

It should have been enormous. Like Arrested Development, probably too intelligent and convoluted for mass-market tastes. I reckon it's one of the 5 best TV shows I've seen.

tell me more about what the normals can't handle, brainiac.

oh come on, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! kicks everything else in the ass.

I don't think Frisky Dingo was nec. too smart for TV - it's actually more accessible than a lot of Adult Swim shows. In a way I felt like it was the logical conclusion to what the adult swim people have been working at for a long time.

It did share Arrested Development's problem in another way - a linear plot and jokes that built on each other episode to episode. So if someone started watching at episode 8 or whatever, they a. won't have any idea what's going on or who the fuck that muscular monster dude is b. aren't gonna find the funniest jokes funny.

Horrible, horrible model for attracting new viewers but at the same time Frisky Dingo without those things would prolly suck.

yeah, that's probably a better way of putting it - both shows are accumulative and require dedication, which is more than quite a lot of people are willing to give. agreed it was more accessible than other Adult Swim stuff - it's basically their huge juggernaut animated sitcom spectacular, where the experimentalism and iconoclasm of their more nuggety stuff gets fleshed out into a genuine narrative

Xavier: Renegade Angel is the best shit on that shit right now. Fuckin, guy has a snake for an arm. Nothing is funnier, nothing is better.

a baby-eating snake.

Frisky Dingo was basically what the Sealab team moved onto afterwards, right? The end of Sealab really kind of petered out in quality, and I only saw one or two eps of Frisky Dingo and was pretty confused as to what was going on. Maybe I'll give it a try on DVD at some point.

Right, it was the Sealab people and the shows were on the same wavelength. And honestly, I like Sealab...but in retrospect it's like early demo tapes vs. the awesome fleshed out band.

also: scion tc episode is like my favorite moment in human history

Haven't seen that much AS stuff, but Venture Bros is seriously hard to beat.

oh man, I loved Sealab, but I don't think I've even seen an episode Frisky Dingo. might have to check that out.

also: kind of hit-or-miss, but when it's firing on all cylinders, Superjail is one of my favorite things in the world.

i thoroughly enjoyed sealab, but frisky dingo is some next level shit. i definitely recommend watching it in order from start to finish. i probably only got into it because the whole first season (or like more than half of it) was up on youtube for a while. also, killer mike!!

Does anyone like Look Around You?
That's when my tv goes off.

Right now the best is Tim and Eric Awesome Show
but the opo all time is Home Movies, duh
(ok I've only seen one episode of Frisky Dingo so I guess I'll have to seek out some more)

We can't ever go back to Arizona!

"Home Movies" - the idea of an 8-year old Ed Wood is irresistable, and H. Jon Benjamin is some kinda god. (Too bad he's wasted on the occasional "Family Guy" ep.)

Frustraing: Teletoon eliminating Brak and Space Ghost and Harvey Birdman just when I got into 'em, grrr.

Jon Benjamin is also fantastic in Lucy, Daughter of the Devil

...dunno what that is :(

it's by one of the creators of Home Movies

First two seasons of Sealab are my OPO.

"Save if for Queen Doppelpopolous."

can I only pick none?

c'mon there's a lotta bullshit on Adult Swim but you're saying you dislike every single show?

I can honestly say I actively dislike every single show except maybe Home Movies.

Uncle Gabby and I weep for you.

then one you would pick is Home Movies, fuckin' duh.

Venture Brothers is pure genius. i think all the newer spazzmo stoney cheap shit is godawful, tho, so i never watch adult swim anymore.

I still watch Family Guy and have started rewatching King of the Hill, plus Venture Brothers and Metalocalypse are both great.

My OPO is Bleach, though.

Snake 'n' Bacon (based on Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle) is the best thing on Adult Swim in ages.

Not as good as Freedom 'n' Ethan.

Finally got around to watching the first season of Frisky Dingo on DVD. A lot of pretty funny stuff, and way more ambitious than Sealab - I tried watching when it was on the air, but caught random eps and the show's plot/characterizations are already kinda confusing without watching them out or order.

I have to wonder though - between all the obnoxious Chinese stereotypes in this and the godawful Dickesode and "Shake turns black" episodes of ATHF when did adult swim go from hilarious surreal comedy to crutching on sub-Mencia-level racist "humor"? Really kept taking me out of it. Even the third episode of Archer that just aired was one of those bog-standard, obviously-written-by-lame-white-dudes "diversity in the workplace" plots. It's enough for me to not bother going to the second season of FD.

I dunno, I never took frisky dingo's humor to be racist - self-aware references to racial stereotypes isn't off-limits imo

regardless, I can't think of any of that stuff in the 2nd season and highly recommend it

and there is a difference between this and 'ironic racism' (one's still a joke about race vs. and one's a joke about racism)

minus one 'and'
