Adult Swim OPO

also OMG at all those new shows that all sound fucking horrible

BAD GUYS – Design. Marketing. Looking fresh to death. These are things that are lost on modern-day terrorists, but one man is going to change the game forever. Bad Guys is a quarter-hour animated series about a bombastic, megalomaniac terrorist and his upstart terrorist organization; and their quest for global domination. World Governments and Fashionistas your days are numbered. Created by Paul Scheer (Fresh Off the Boat, The League) and Nick Giovannetti, produced by Bento Box.
UNTITLED MILLION DOLLAR EXTREME PROJECT – A live-action quarter-hour sketch show in an almost­present­day post­apocalyptic nightmare world. Created by Million Dollar Extreme.
NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE – Mr. Neighbor’s House is a children’s show hosted by Brian Huskey (Childrens Hospital, Veep). He’s like any other host of kids programming, except that he is barely able to contain the suppressed rage boiling underneath his quiet demeanor. From the safe confines of his home, he throws to various “educational” vignettes: puppets, animation, stop motion, spoken word and mixed medium elements that all blend together into one 15 minute show… that is NOT for kids. Created by Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas (Childrens Hospital, The League), and Jesse Falcon, who also serve as executive producers with Rob Corddry (Childrens Hospital, Hot Tub Time Machine).
BALLMASTRZ 9669 – Thousands of years in the future no one cares about traditional sports anymore. The only game that matters is THE GAME, and the new breed of heroes that play it: BALLMASTRZ. Inside giant battle arenas the size of a small city, teams of Ballmastrz face off against each other using their own hyper-creative artificially intelligent combat weapons to attack, defend, and score. These are the BALLS. Obstacles and challenges test the physical, mental, and psychological limits of the players while entertaining the masses. The player or team that masters their Ball will master The Game in the most spectacular action sport ever played. This quarter-hour animated series is created by Christy Karacas (Superjail!) and produced by Titmouse.
APOLLO GAUNTLET – Trapped in another world, a cop from Earth can finally fight crime the way he wants after acquiring talking magical gauntlets. Animated quarter-hour pilot created by Myles Langlois and produced by Six Point Harness.
BUBBLEGOOSE AND JUICE – Two best friends, a neurotic “Bubblegoose” and slacker “Juice” sharing a tiny no bedroom apartment as they try to maneuver through an unpredictable, supernatural, bizarro world, while still keeping up with the latest kicks. This quarter-hour animated pilot is created by Carl Jones (Black Dynamite).
HOT STREETS – FBI Agent Mark Branski and his partner David French investigate supernatural phenomena, secretly aided by his niece and her cowardly dog, Chubbie Webbers. There will be alien invasions, government conspiracies, monster infestations, and more.

Produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
CREATACEOUS CALIGULA – Los Angeles has been crushed by a title wave of radiated water. From the depths of the La Brea tar pits comes out a gang of dinosaur freaks led by a T-Rex Caligula. They want to take over mutant Gross Angeles and destroy anything in their way. This quarter-hour animated pilot is created by JJ Villard (King Star King) and produced by Titmouse.
DOBLE FRIED – Doble Fried is a 6-pack of carnival freaks who run a low-rent amusement park smack drab on the border of Mexico and Not-Mexico. Whether it’s 4:20, beer-thirty, or crazy clown time, these dudes are constantly trying to scam money and score lady lizard honey. It’s a rickety roller coaster ride from the deep fried, clogged heartland of our failure. This quarter-hour animated pilot is created by Matt Furie and produced by PFFR.
FISTHEAD – The relationship between two brothers is put to the test, as one, a loose-cannon action hero with a fist for a head, indiscriminately destroys not only villains, but his normal brother’s life as well.

OMG! EARTH – OMG! Earth is a quarter-hour stop-motion animated comedy series featuring small plastic action figures going on larger-than-life adventures in the real world.

Produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
THE POUND HOLE – The Pound Hole is Adult Swim’s first ever late night dance party; a contemporary Soul Train. Think The Grind meets Project X, where DJ Douggpound (played by Doug Lussenhop) remixes both the audio and visuals of this club into surreal, and sometimes violent, but always danceable situations. The Pound Hole is a live-action quarter-hour pilot created by Daniel Weidenfeld (China, IL), developed by Weidenfeld and Lussenhop (Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Portlandia), and directed by The Daniels, the VMA award-winning directing duo of DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s Turn Town For What video.

china, il the musical episode starring cat power as a gorilla was fantastic

There's a Parasyte anime in 2015?
The animation itself is a bit lackluster, but they updated it a little bit to match the times - the main kid is listening to music on his phone, he uses the internet to try to figure out what the parasyte is, etc. Unfortunately, this also means DUBSTEP ACTION MUZAK for the first fight scene.

huh, i am into that!

ok this is maybe the better thread to bump w/ this exciting new brad neely news:

https://vine.co/v/5uwEllPL1zB?video=1

unsettling and bad in a way i can kinda watch!

new brett gelman special is great obv

I always liked Sam Hyde and was pretty disappointed to find out he was a Nazi, so fuck him

this is the shit currently stickyied on their subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/altright/comments/5ddtrq/i_understand_now/

jesus christ

Still can't square Paradigm Shift 2070 with this shit

I guess we'd best beware of anyone being edgy

I mean I'm kind of assuming Jonathan Pie is alt-right

sorry apparently that reddit link is from the alt-right board. idk why i thought i followed it from the mde board... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It'll be great when PFFR turn out to be alt-right

or whatever the gradschool version of the alt-right is

no way in hell PFFR is alt-right

let's hope not

they did spawn the THAT'S RACIST gif after all, and the white people song

feel disillusioned with satire rn though

that was satire. they also did a sketch that started out making fun of homeless people, then it turned genuinely sad. made me feel like an asshole for laughing at the beginning. that was pretty righteous.

proposed policy: ban "adult" cartoons

let's do this. or not

over my dead body

I definitely would not characterize Wonder Showzen as alt-right; if anything it would be much more popular now due to its bone-deep hatred of capitalism and political decorum

well obv but let's hear the prosecution xp

wonder showzen is obv dirtbag left yeah

Where was the ums post pulled from?

weinstein thread

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
