Animation Domination High-Def has been cancelled.
Did anyone here enjoy this block? What was your favorite show? Best YouTube short?
Never saw anything on it, what did it have?
I couldn't find any articles that mention the recent cancellation. the ones i did read were about it being taken off of FOX and being moved to FXX.
Here is a screen of the voice in the Scientifically Accurate animations saying She and the rest of the crew have been let go and ADHD was cancelled.
>>82012320
It wasn't good. The most interesting thing was the Major Lazer cartoon and that was mainly just for the music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipumt_rWvHo
>>82012341
Here is the line up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation_Domination_High-Def
Stone Quackers was amazing and definitely the best.
>>82012460
At least she still has work on Whose Line Is It Anyway.
>>82012514
>>82012671
I though Stone Quackers was great and by far my favorite. It was made by Ben Jones. He made Problem Solverz for Cartoon Network, although Stone Quackers is nothing like Problem Solverz. The Blue Velvet parody episode was the best.
At least it was cool that they used Lightning Bolt for their intro.
So it appears that most, if not all, of the ADHD lineup is free to watch on hulu.
I highly recommend Stone Quackers (it sounds like a stoner shit but they really only reference drugs once, and its a Tylenol joke.) Or Lucas Bros Moving Co.
I like this short even if it's trashy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJqAkGTVQFc
>>82012320
I liked AxeCop.
I liked most of the shows on it but it seemed like another one of those "doomed to failure" fox ideas.
So every show has been canned? No Major Lazer Season 2?
:(
Wow I can't believe a block that showed the exact same episodes over and over for a year got cancelled.
I liked their shows but come on.
>>82013147
Micheal Bays Evangeline was my favorite https://youtu.be/FckkZihQUaU
they even got Sick Animation to do a couple shorts https://youtu.be/gB1SoF0FLfA
>>82012777
this, stone quackers is hilarious and great >>82013104
also this is great
and axe cop and major lazer
and the one with the loli
>>82012320
Fuck, my GF and i bonded over Stone Quakers on our first few dates. R.I.P
May they pitch things to Netflix and get some pick ups. Fucking hell Fox pushing theilr bullshit "Simpsons and stuff" Channel.
Axed the Cassius and Clay post Apoc Lady Dukes of Hazard show in leu of more bullshit comedian glamour fluffer projects. FUCK THOSE PIECES OF SHIT
>>82012320
I liked Lucas Bros.
Scientifically Accurate was also good for a laugh now and again.
>>82013147
>that qt ant
mmmf
>>82013300
it would appear so
>there will never be a sequel to STUFF THAT DOESN'T FIT INTO OTHER STUFF
>>82013679
>>82012320
A lot of comfy memories of watching it after smoking some weed and falling asleep to some Axe Cop.
Dottie was a QT
I really liked Golan and even for just the loli although she was like 80% of it.Second season was better even if it had a worse VA for Dylan.
I only saw one or two episodes of Lucas Co but it was pretty hilarious and I've been planning to watch more.
High School USA was a guilty pleasure but pretty shit.
Axe Cop was boring because a show being surreal or having non-sequiters 100% of the time is never funny. It loses the punch of being weird when that's all it is.
The YT shorts were mostly shit with a few gems but most were still good for a chuckle at least.
I've heard good things about the others. I'm mostly dissapointed that a new animation block was cancelled while Anim- SUNDAY FUNDAY is still running strong even though the only good cartoon on it is Bob's Burgers.
>tfw Wikipedia has finally updated Golan's page to say 2013-2015
>we never even got an announcement
>just gradual acceptance of it being cancelled
>>82014455
>we never even got an announcement
>just gradual acceptance of it being cancelled
thats how shit FOX is. They won't even tell you a whole animation block, let alone a single show on their main channel, has been cancelled.
So did anyone ever find the rats off to ya shirt i hid in major lazer?
>>82014818
Do you wanna know? DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW?no
>>82015122
BIG FAT DISGUSTING OBESE WRISTS
I liked stone quackers, that music video for that y4cht song and the hbo Ppg short
Wait, so this thing was more than just a YouTube channel putting out lowest common denominator musical animated parodies?
All I remember is everything became a sex joke in every video.
>ugh, we have the worst cat.
>well. i guess.. nothing left to do but to kill it.
>>82015537
They used those as shorts between the actual shows which had a little more substance. Most shows were chuckleworthy though not the most substantial. Best was probably Major Lazer which was pretty good but personally felt could be given some more meat. The biggest downfall was no fucking content, they'd constantly replay the same handful of episodes, for months on end. It's really a shock it took this long to cancel ADHD. The only thing probably keeping it alive is FXX is a fucking content desert. The channel is obviously a syndication dump but it seems they only had the idea of syndicating the Simpsons and everything else was an afterthought.
>>82015833
Basically this. Simpsons for 20 hours a day 5 days a week. They kept playing a same 5 shows over and over once a week for 3 years. since it was FOXs creation it was bound to die. at least Stone Quackers, Major Lazer, and Lucas Bros were pretty good while they lasted.
>>82015833
The only thing it has now is Always Sunny, which just wrapped up a season a few weeks ago.
>>82016857
why in the hell did the put always sunny on FXX? is FOX literally retarded?
>>82016947
It was their biggest show on FX, so naturally it was the best way to advertise their new channel.
If only it had ANYTHING MORE THAN JUST ALWAYS SUNNY.
>>82012320
fuck. i love axe cop, lucas bros, and those cute songs about 80s pop culture and cats and shit
This is sad... The only shows that truly deserved cancellation were High School USA and Axe Cop.
Major Lazer, Golan the Insatiable and Lucas Bros were meh but still pretty enjoyable.
I will literally pay out of pocket for Stone Quackers to get another season. Anime references + Bug + Barf + John C Reilly = good show.
Very sad. I guess Adult Swim just has the Late-Night Cartoon market cornered with their infinite Seth MacFarlane reruns...
>>82015833
the shorts were like, the tumblrest thing -ever-
and yet i absolutely unironically loved every one of them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ58M1sAaWY
>>82017426
>John C Reilly
why the fuck didnt anyone say that? all this time i've been like.. do i really want to watch stone quackers? it doesnt seem to have any appeal but people keep praising it
>>82012320
wait, it was a show that aired on tv? I saw some episodes on youtube, and it seemed like such a stereotypical youtube amateur animation, something that once would have been on newgrounds
aw, thats a shame.
I always watched it on tv whenever i got the chance.
loved Lucas Bros. and High School USA
>>82017426
I agree %100 I hope Ben Jones is able to continue it somehow. i just want one more season.
>>82017622
John C .Reilly was amazing as officer Barry. The whole cast was great. t.b.h. i don't have the most vibrant vocabulary so i can't tell you why i love it so much. on the surface i doesn't look like much but the characters and their interactions with each other are what really make it shine and stand out from the other shows. The characters really do have more depth to them than what you would expect out of a midnight comedy block.
>>82017937
the youtube animations are just filler, but good filler. the actual shows are free on hulu. i recommend Stone Quackers, Major Lazer, and Lucas Bros Moving Co.
>>82018310
>>82017937
and Golan the Insatiable. that actually got 2 seasons.
>>82018104
The Lucas Bros themselves were the worst thing on their show. All the supporting characters were great though. I would have loved a Jake the Snake spinoff. The Lucas Bros were very pissed when I voiced that opinion in the comments of the previews of one of the first few episodes. Oh shit, African roommate and Jake the Snake move in together, that is something I would support on a kickstarter or something.
>>82018403
S2 sucked
>>82018403
>>82018663
for god's sake it's not season 2
it's a network-TV remake of a series of cable shorts. you might as well call the tracy ullman shit season 1 of the simpsons

>>82019015

Aw fuck no more Stone Quackers? That was the only one I watched, binged that shit on Hulu, way better than I expected
Who in the world would DO such a thing?
>>82017539
oh god her boob at 1:08 who taught this person how to draw cartoon boob revoke their cartoon boob drawing licence and send them back to cartoon boob drawing school

>>82019176
Definitely the best Major Lazer episode
Although you should all just admit that the only reason you liked Major Lazer was because of Penny.
>>82012320
Golan
Highschool USA
Stone Quackerd
No particular order, but I never like axe cop or the show about the black twins
>>82019039
SEX PEST

>>82019288
I thought her art style (especially the eyes) was jarring and ugly. Like it didn't fit with the rest of the animation. Just a bad character design in general.
>>82019154
>who taught this person how to draw
i'm thinking late-90s to 00s cartoons. the ultra flat 'what is 3d i've never heard of it' school of tartakovsky, hartman, mccracken.. or even earlier, 2 stupid dogs
>>82019301
anyone who doesnt like lucas bros should give it another try and really pay attention
because on the surface it's the dumbest, most boring, brainless stoner comedy ever
but just underneath it's fucking brilliant
>>82019512
FOX had a good thing on their hands but they are to dumb to realize its potential. so they go the scorched earth route and cancel the entire thing.
Lucas Bros and Stone Quackers will sorely be missed
Still haven't watched Golan or Axe Cop
Weird how all shows and the block itself was manned by Ben Jones, but the visuals lack any pointy shapes and neon colors. Most shows and videos also have a film grain filter added to it.
Hopefully Adult Swim reruns at least a few series to renew interest in them. I'd at least like to see another season of Quackers.
>>82019795
that's fox for you
>>82019833
Ben Jones need to buddy up to people over at AS. I feel like he would really be valued over there and be used to his full potential.
>>82019833
>Hopefully Adult Swim reruns at least a few series
They won't. Feelsbadman
>>82019833
>>82020178
i was thinking the same but fox are the kind to be spitefull assholes. I also doubt Ben kept the rigt to Stone Quackers.
https://twitter.com/jonesbenjam theres his twitter. I was thinking about signing up and asking him about it.
>>82020178
What makes you say that? There was probably some rivalry going on between Fox and AS but they seem to share a lot of crew members and much of ADHD is inspired by Williams Street. Not to mention AS has reran much more obscurer shit in the past.
Axe Cop was the fucking best.
>>82020463
what's really sad to me is its creator never apparently made enough money to make doing the comic and the cartoon his fulltime job. he consistently had to give the comic the shaft on updates to pay his bills.. and now it's gotta be wayyyy too late because the kid's too old to have funny suggestions anymore.
if youre THAT big a name and you cant make it, what chance do we have?
I liked Stone Quackers and Lucas Bros.
>>82020604
Below zero, making cartoons is a pipe dream.
Now everyone is freed up to make comics again I'll be reading the new Kramers Ergot
>>82019833
>film grain
That must be why I watched almost all of them, even ones I didn't like. The grain made everything pleasing to the eyes. The harsh, solid crystal clear colors and lines of Bobs Burgers and all the other regular cartoons turn me off, even if it is a great show.
>Hey Barry! I heard your WHOLE FAMILY is a pack of WILD DOGS
One more bump. Goodnight sweet prince.
>>82017481
Isn't that made by the dude who made Megapope or that fisthead guy?
>>82012320
>no more shorts about her
What does this mean for Alex Hirsch's next show?
I just miss Golan the Insatiable
>>82023816
I don't think he was involved in ADHD was he?
It's their own damn fault for trying to sprint instead of walk right off the bat.
The whole point of this block was to compete with [adult swim], but they refused to take a page from adult swim's book. They bought a huge building off of Sunset, hired a team and were immediately losing money.
ADHD has some things going for it, it's a shame.Only satisfaction I get from this is knowing a certain bitch will be unemployed for a time.
>>82026386
people keep on trying to compete with AS, and it's like.. why? why set yourself up to lose? be smart, air your shit a little earlier, as a lead-in. the people who watch this kinda shit won't have any interest in watching the late night news or whatever
still the real problem is they didnt have enough shows, as mentioned earlier.
>>82016947
>>82017309
Now that they've canceled Man Seeking Women it's literally going to be the Always Sunny and Simpsons Reruns channel.
Has a network ever failed so hard?
>>82026453
they canceled that too? holy shit fox.
>>82026453
one good show that has very few new episodes per year, and one good solid watchable rerun? that's more than most channels have anymore. tv is dying so hard and it sucks
>>82019176
is that fucking riff raff

Rip in piss, guess there can only be one Adult Swim.

>The shorts were hit and miss but generally good.
even when they make you mad they still make you smile
something funny about doing a parody of the obscure 60s captain america cartoon, using it to bash the shit out of america classic liberal style, and it's like.. bitch you think any other country would pay you to make dumb cartoons making fun of your country?
>>82013355
The Sick Animation ones were dope.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kUVzsZjjo0
Rainy Day (aka Black Friends) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I liked Golan.
I mostly just watched it for the goth little girl, but still.
>>82027486
in the original shorts golan was also amusing. he was like another strong bad.
in the new show some of the townsfolk were damn funny

i'll never understand the dislike for axe cop. it's not exactly the Tick but it's the closest we've had in a long time
>>82027930
Axe Cop feels like its feels like its going full throttle %100 of the time. It's random for the sake of Randomness. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, but for me personally, i just don't enjoy it all that much. I would rather watch it than High School USA though.
>>82019482
>this stupid pleb doesn't know the artstyle dates back to the 50s
Honestly, the entire block was pretty lame.
They didn't have a single show that stood up to the [as] original lineup. Not one show on the level of ATHF, Harvey Birdman or Sealab2021.
>>82028037
it's not fully random though, it's the crazy shit that comes out of a kid's head
true with the constant full energy it means there's no real investment, but as a comedy it works fantastically. it's particularly nice how there's a mix of serious hotbloodedness and totally nonchalant characters taking it all in stride
>>82028203
i'm aware of that (well more like 60s), i didnt want to mention that it was an intentional (And degraded) homage to those days. thought it went without saying.
>>82028227

>>82013104
yeah I'm surprised how little drug exposure was in Stone Quackers, which is definitely my favorite, I loved how old it looked
>>82026453
>Cancelled Man Seeking Woman
But that was a pretty good show of what I saw.
Wait, it wasn't cancelled ages ago?
I've kept it recording on my DVR but it's been repeats for what feels like a year if not more.
I'd feign surprise, but the thread's got the state of FXX summed up so well there's no point. Awful, awful management of ADHD - and the shorts they'd bust out during reruns were so few and far between that it wasn't even worth leaving the TV on as background noise.
>>82014285
Yep. Never really got the appeal of the breathy southern type until I saw Dottie.
I really wanted things to work out for her and Officer Barry, those kooky kids. At least the last episode of Stone Quackers felt like a finale, in some ways.
>>82019015
I was always impressed by how much smarm they could fit into a few seconds of animation. They made the new Daily Show seem like the Daily Show from the early 2000s.
>>82029654
It's all in the voice. Heather Lawless to be exact.
>>82026453
No they didn't you fucking idiot.
I hope they do something with the channel. or at least leave it up.

Ben Jones originally pitched a show called "Neon Knome" to Adult Swim, which was turned down. He was told that regular daytime CN might work better so he retooled it into Problem Solverz andthen they treated it like garbage (because it was)
>>82031116
It's amazing how somebody can go from Problem Solvers to Stone Quackers

>It's random for the sake of Randomness
The story is (at least, the springboard for the story) pulled out of thin air by a five year old. Of course it's going to be "random" because he's making it up as he goes.
https://youtu.be/R6pC03WRcE0
This is my fave ADHD thing for sure. It parodies two things at once and manages to be better than both
>>82019015
>That faggy Nostalgia song
It's even more bizarre when you realize it's a parody of a song from Space Brothers, but the show is so unpopular in the west that it flew over everyone's heads.
>>82034754
I like Louie but it's possibly the saddest comedy ever made.
>>82035047
Which is why it's SO good. Finding the humor in how fucked and unfair life can be is what keeps me alive.
