Adult Swim OPO

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?
