well there was a dude towards the back w/ dark hair & a beard so if that was you, I saw you. if you didn't have a beard that day I have no idea which dude was you.

Frisky Dingo is fucking excellent.

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I found another Adult Swim show I cannot stand that all my friends love: Squidbillies. Just. Not. Funny.

Ever.

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I only actually ever watch Adult Swim anymore for Futurama or bizarre anime that I find compelling but will never understand (a la Paranoia Agent).

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Squidbillies so much, especially the sheriff. That guy's voice is so familiar...

Rock Hardy, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Paranoia Agent is fucking excellent rught up until they explain what's going on, at which point it becomes incredibly irritating.

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't get Adult Swim but I agree w/ hi dere re: Paranoia Agent is good until the explanation (although the akira-esque explosion of goopy pain was pretty awesome, and Susumu Hirasawa (sp?) is a god of music)

Will M., Monday, 5 March 2007 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

The best ep of Paranoia Agent was the suicide club one!!! It was so sweet and silly.

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Also am I the only one who found Shounen Bat/Lil Slugger waaay more menacing as a little kid than as a demon?

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Squidbillies and Aqua Teen both kinda tickle me.

And there was one part of one episode of 12 Oz Mouse that I was in tears for, but other than that moment I find it profoundly unfunny.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

btw I think it is much better in Japanese w/ subtitles, the subtitling is incredibly done, the opening theme has a phonetical follow-the-bouncing-ball singalong! and "Shounen Bat" sounds so much more hardcore than "Lil Slugger".

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, the whole meltdown is awesome, but the reason for it is like the twee-est most smackable thing they could have ever come up with.

Best episodes: Suicide Club, Popular kid gets mistaken for Little Slugger, Virgin/Whore, Chief's wife rebukes Little Slugger/Chief succumbs to Little Slugger

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Bleach is fucking awesome, btw, if completely incomprehensible if you only watch it once every three weeks.

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, totally agreed. Actually the incomrehensibility of it is part of the charm, for me at least.

I can't get into EHreka 7 though.

nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

If they pronounced it YOO-REEK-AH as opposed to OI-WRECKA I would like it about a billion times more.

I will also rep for Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop until the day I die.

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

(On second thought, I would still have issues with the whole "Gecko State" thing.)

HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

two years pass...

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

billstevejim, Sunday, 22 March 2009 06:13 (fifteen years ago) link

haha I mean Delocated

billstevejim, Sunday, 22 March 2009 06:13 (fifteen years ago) link

Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Sunday, 22 March 2009 09:07 (fifteen years ago) link

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

leigh exodus (country matters), Sunday, 22 March 2009 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link

shoulda been hueg

prob my OPO, with home movies not far behind.

now is the time to winterize your manscape (will), Sunday, 22 March 2009 14:36 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

leigh exodus (country matters), Sunday, 22 March 2009 14:38 (fifteen years ago) link

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

liveblogging 'before i self-destruct' from the moon (some dude), Sunday, 22 March 2009 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link

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

voodoo brown (Stevie D), Sunday, 22 March 2009 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

iatee, Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:38 (fifteen years ago) link

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

leigh exodus (country matters), Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Duderonomy 1:69-420 (iiiijjjj), Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Nhex, Sunday, 22 March 2009 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

iatee, Sunday, 22 March 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link

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

iatee, Sunday, 22 March 2009 20:23 (fifteen years ago) link

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

chap, Sunday, 22 March 2009 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

if you like it then you shoulda put a donk on it (bernard snowy), Sunday, 22 March 2009 21:51 (fifteen years ago) link

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!!

now is the time to winterize your manscape (will), Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:38 (fifteen years ago) link

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)

iatee, Sunday, 22 March 2009 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link

"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.

Myonga Vön Bontee, Monday, 23 March 2009 04:38 (fifteen years ago) link

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

turtles all the way down (Face of Wolf), Monday, 23 March 2009 05:35 (fifteen years ago) link

...dunno what that is :(

Myonga Vön Bontee, Monday, 23 March 2009 05:44 (fifteen years ago) link

it's by one of the creators of Home Movies

turtles all the way down (Face of Wolf), Monday, 23 March 2009 05:59 (fifteen years ago) link

First two seasons of Sealab are my OPO.
