AND I SAY TO MYSELF
I NEED EXACT CHANGE

Sealab > ATHF > Harvey Birdman > the rest

Oh, and the best episode eva of Space Ghost is VERY EASILY the one with Bjork and Thom Yorke.

You are Jodene Sparks

You are Sealabs smart-ass communications expert. You position as radio operator is, however, advantageous. Whether in contact with your secret mountain stronghold, or selling organs on the black market, your plot for world domination is well upon its way. Perhaps the sickest mind on Sealab, there is no telling what devious plot you will be up to next.

What Sealab
2021 Character are You?

YOU ARE FRYLOCK -- A large, hovering box of french
fries, Frylock is the voice of reason for the
Aqua Teens. He is very smart, owns a computer,
and is often exasperated by his imcompetent
roomates. He does the majority of the crime-
solving for the Hunger Force, and without him,
very little would be accomplished.


What 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' character are you?

i think Home Movies is still tops for me, since I love Coach McGuirk, and i generally like any cartoon where all the characters have more than their own share of self-loathing.

This is so the only thing that brings joy to my Sunday nights, for serious.

i should probably change that.

Sparks looks AND acts exactly like my Dan

So we are getting protected when he takes over the world, I trust.

You are Sparks. You care about Sealab only because
it's full of fools to take advantage of.

Apparently I really AM Sparks.

"i'm helping! i'm helping! bizarro!"

Aqua Teen or Tom Goes to the Mayor... easy to forget how truly fucking bizarre TGTTM was in 2004, clouded by Tim & Eric's success and immense influence on the last decade in comedy, their style has been imitated and aped so much that it's not as unsettling or jarring as it was pre-Awesome Show... Aqua Teen is just a great cartoon.

Re "ban adult cartoons" I have this vague sense that there might be some kind of fucking culture wars going on over whether you like the pickle cartoon or the horse cartoon and I hope I never find out whether my instinct is correct

fwiw I enjoy both of those adult cartoons and am not going to click on the ilx thread for either but R&M is basically empty calories & so doesn't even approach South Park ito being politically rancid yet seems to have earned the ire of South Park fans for lacking a moral centre or something, BH I see all these earnest posts on fb about a show about depression and but my main takeaway is Jesus fucking Christ guys stop showing the dog fucking the woman

Again they're both good imo. As DJP said, king of the hill is even better. I'm not actually sure what the adult cartoons post has to do with rape culture, which lets agree is bigger than that

sorta all over the place there

I think "adult" meaning violence/swearing/sex was the intention, as in WARNING: ADULT CONTENT

King of the Hill is a family show

what the fuck is the pickle show

I was nostalgically watching ATHF reruns and asking myself "why did I sour on this show, it's great" and then the episode where Master Shake starts turning black popped up and I said "oh yeah, this bullshit"

xp: obv Rick and Morty but I'm going to go forward in the thread as if it meant Mr. Pickle

sorta all over the place there

idk just wasn't sure where you were going with it

Oh me neither

im fine with the idea of adult cartoons but can't stand it whenever they cross a line and retreat into "It's only a dumb cartoon!" it's as intellectually cowardly as the Daily Show going "It's only comedy"

like if you want to reference the real world and drinking and depression and murder, you don't get to play the cartoon card when things get inconvenient

otm

Do you have an example of a show being faced with this?

you can't handle the TRENCH

neither can i fwiw

I'm working from home and the theme song keeps running through my head and every now and then I turn around and look nervously at the closet behind me

I’m happy to see the Wham City folks more frequently but I feel either they have gotten less ambitious/ weird now that they relocated to LA or Adult Swim is not bankrolling anything as ambitious as the Cry of Mann,etc. and they are making do.

also, this is the best new adult swim type thing I've seen in years. the roving outdoor cats are a nice touch

you know as someone who started watching in the Aqua Teen days and figured the channel would slowly become a dump for Family Guy type shit I'm pretty amused by that

that said I can't believe they're still making new episodes of Robot Chicken in 2020, what the fuck

Watching clips of the more gruesome cartoons like King Star King, Superjail, JJ Villard's Fairy Tales and I've been really inspired by how gruesome and nasty they are (although in King Star King the mostly voicelessness of the sex workers, the bunny grinding a woman's face into the ground and Molestro was testing me a bit*) and I like that blink n' you'll miss it stuff and how often some of it flies in the face of the idea of a very fixed character model and doesn't worry about characters looking daft or ugly.

Was kind of pleased to see that Allison Schulnik and Hellen Jo are fans of Villard. I hadn't seen their work in a while and I think Schulnik is one of the best artists alive today.

*not surprising when I was checking out Villard and all those awesomely gross cartoonists on instagram that Johnny Ryan is friends with them all.

Is there much more stuff like that?
