Adult Swim OPO

i was pretty annoyed at her voice at first, too, but i eventually got used to it

also the use of samuel l. jackson kinda makes up for everything

running above the influence commercials on adult swim: good targeting, or closing the stable door after the pothead has blown?

sad this bump wasnt about the eric andre show

is loiter squad funny?

Rarely?

Eric Andre show on the other hand is awesome.

Eric Andre show is next level. His character on Apt 23 is amusing but inconsequential enough that I was not prepared for how all-out his show is.

saw 2 eps on demand. it's funny. very similar to comedy bang bang, i thought, and then googled both and found that the nyt agrees:

I like Eric Andre except for the Punk'd-es

Punk'd-esque bits, which are thankfully very brief.

agreed, although I liked the Tea Party one

can't help but feel like upcoming rock'a'roni metal camp ep of metalacolypse might have a rockso appearance

re: the Punk'd bits, I liked "Touch a Stranger's Hand Day"

I thought that was the creepiest one! He's, like, seriously violating these people's personal space! I liked the trashcan "congratulations" one, where the guy gets in his face and is totally adrenaline-rushing, going "are you trying to give my girl a heart attack?!?"

My favorite use of that type of bit, though, is probably the "Cash Stall" bit in "Jon Benjamin Has a Van." Still cracks me up.

The reason I liked it was because it was the creepiest one!

Hannibal's reactions during the goofy headlines were also amazing

eagleheart this week weirdly an elaborate parody of the ET ride in Universal Studios???

RIP Delocated. Last episode airs March 7.

bummer

It's realy sad, it was a show

Pretty dark last episode

missed it, what happened?

Well David got murdered (and TB, but who cares)

new eagleheart on now

great china, il ep tnite

i feel like adult swim is really branded specifically for me + my generational cohort

I haven't been following it but I caught the Eagleheart episode about the blues. It was so OTM! Loved it.

xp i felt that way in the early years, but towards the end of the decade they just started going too far for me

Too far in what direction exactly?

i'm a big fan of that early ATHF/Sealab/Brak Show/VB era. but the humor started getting even more "out there" / weird for weirdness sake (later Aqua Teen, Squidbillies, Tim and Eric) and when they started doing live-action stuff that was kind of the beginning of the end. i remember sitting down and trying to watch some puppet show about Dracula or something and thinking what the hell happened to this block

obviously a large part of this is my lifelong fondness for cartoons and being less appreciative of the Land of the Lost/low budget 80s video/public access style they started going with with all their stuff. i guess i couldn't handle the new empires of irony

So is anybody watching Rick & Morty? The ending of that last episode, Jesus

bonus points for using "Cronenberg" as a noun, verb and adjective, too.

otm such a good show, some talk over here: i'm mr meeseeks look at me rick and morty thread

if I'm basically in the 'PFFR are gods' enlightenment phase of my televisual life, will I like this

also, The Heart, She Holler was GREAT and I don't care if I'm the only person on ILX who thinks that

You're not

that is gonna interfere with my catching up with Steven Universe reruns

their on Vine now guys!!

it's cool that adult swim is getting more and more successful, but honestly i do find it a little sad how Cartoon Network's actual cartoon programming is getting chipped away with every passing year

I am sad taht cartoons in gerenal are more half assed CGI bullshit with canned music and plots and characters

BTW I used Their instead of they're because I meant they have an "on vine"

Cartoon Network is just as guilty as most of producing a bunch of crap (see: Annoying Orange, any of their live action shows), but they're at least redeemed by "traditional" stuff like Regular Show, Adventure Time, Steven Universe. even Gumball is a decent cartoon

I do like old crap like Justice League

re: the Punk'd bits, I liked "Touch a Stranger's Hand Day"

lol but the best one is have you seen my dog? DESCRIBE HIM TO ME

Eagleheart and Eric Andre are pretty much amongst the best shows on television

King of the Hill and Sealab 2021 and Children's Hospital and Space Ghost are always great

Delocated and Children's Hospital and Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell are generally worth the time

Family Guy and American Dad and Robot Chicken and Squidbillies and Cleveland Show and Boondocks and The Heart She Holler and China Il are all utterly unwatchable for me

i kinda got into sword art online; the rest of the current toonami lineup does nothing for me

the recent season of Eagleheart was insanely good

Family Guy and American Dad and Robot Chicken and Squidbillies and Cleveland Show and Boondocks and The Heart She Holler and China Il are all utterly unwatchable for me

kinda breaks my heart to see The Heart, She Holler lumped in with the rest of these

otm. the death zone ep was best. xp

Boondocks fantastic too
