Eh not really
It's not as bad as several other AS shows but it isn't essential viewing.

the original one-off pilot turned me off years ago, was shocked to realize later it had been going on for several seasons
― Nhex, Saturday, 18 February 2012 04:03 (twelve years ago) link
can't believe they went ahead with that and not Korgoth of Barbaria
― Nhex, Saturday, 18 February 2012 04:04 (twelve years ago) link
I don't watch any other AS shows but i think Delocated is genuinely one of the most imaginative and daring comedies out there at the moment. The Face/Off episode from last season was just insane. Can't think of any thing else on the air right now that would even attempt that
― Number None, Saturday, 18 February 2012 04:38 (twelve years ago) link
just watched the face/off episode, cuz i've only seen the show a couple time and why not. dgi.
think my favorite thing that's ever been on AS still = the first 2 or 3 seasons of ATHF. then venture bros and metalocalypse. that's about it.

Coffin Dodgers, a half-hour animated series from the creators of Drawn Together about a rowdy bunch of retirement home residents
we may have to do over the 'worst adult swim show' poll for this

yeah, that one does not look good.

Not surprising, as Glaser and Benjamin have done a lot of stuff together.
― Bob Bop Perano (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:21 (eleven years ago) link
Why would they let the creators of Drawn Together do anything that wasn't a profuse apology for the existence of Drawn Together?

i just learned from the av club comments section and wiki that apparently there's a fourth season of boondocks in the works. had no idea!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:27 (eleven years ago) link
wait what?
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
they dropped the ball on the voices on the boondocks cartoon so hard i couldn't even watch more than one episode of it, regina king wtf
― kitty shayme (some dude), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 04:13 (eleven years ago) link
i was pretty annoyed at her voice at first, too, but i eventually got used to it
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 04:25 (eleven years ago) link
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?

Rarely?
Eric Andre show on the other hand is awesome.
― I want L'interieur chicken, not Hausu chicken (jjjusten), Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Saturday, 9 June 2012 16:04 (eleven years ago) link
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:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/08/arts/television/the-rise-of-the-anti-talk-show.html
― Mordy, Sunday, 10 June 2012 03:11 (eleven years ago) link
I like Eric Andre except for the Punk'd-es
― polyphonic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 03:16 (eleven years ago) link
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
― Mordy, Monday, 11 June 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
re: the Punk'd bits, I liked "Touch a Stranger's Hand Day"
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Monday, 11 June 2012 10:18 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Walter Galt, Monday, 11 June 2012 13:34 (eleven years ago) link
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???

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
― Nhex, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 22:38 (ten years ago) link
Too far in what direction exactly?
― een, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 22:46 (ten years ago) link
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
