Do you still find adult swim stuff funny?
>>
>>70298693
Sealab is hilarious anon.
>>
Why call it "adult swim" anyway? What does it mean?
>>
>>70298693
Still? No. Did I once? Yes. Now, I'm really into netflix! :)
>>
Sealab and ATHF are a PhD course in comedic timing.
>>
>>70298744
Public pools had adult swim periods where kids weren't aloud. It's probably referring to how the audience of Cartoon Network is children but they're mostly asleep during AS airing time
>>
>>70298757
This tbch familia. Only shows that I can recall liking from AS, Robot Chicken had some good stuff too.

>The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults.
>>
Mike Tyson Mysteries is pretty good, so yes.
>>
Harvey Birdman is one of the funniest shows out there.
>>
>>70298794
This was definitely one of my favorite episodes
>>
>>70298863
Forgot about that show too, that was another one of my favorites, along with frisky dingo

Guess how I know you're ashamed to take off your shirt?
>>
>>70298776
I remember an old Adult Swim bumper that said:

"Adult swim is for people over 18 only, or for minors who are cool and won't narc on us."
>>
>>70298916
Maybe he isn't from the U.S. and they didn't have adult swim at their pools?

But, I'll bite, I'm guessing you said that because you're projecting and you yourself are ashamed to take your shirt off?

Sealab, Harvey Birdman, and Spaceghost are the holy trinity.
ATHF is pretty hit or miss, but when it lands it can be fucking great.
Metalocalypse is kind of an acquired taste imo but Iove it.
The insane shit that starts airing at 3 AM (Infomercials and Off the Air) is amazing. Only avant-garde TV kino I know of.
Robot Chicken is mostly trash, same with McFarlane apart from American Dad.
Squidbillies and Your Pretty Face are irredeemable dogs hit. From what little I've seen Mr. Pickles appears to be that also.
And then there's anime.

...so yeah. It's pretty funny.

harvey birdman isn't funny

Mike Tyson Mysteries is hilarious. No idea what else is on it though, I just download that and haven't watched anything other than sports, Netflix, and Hulu on my TV in like a year.

>$200 cable bill
>No idea what was even on TV in the past week

Welp.

Yes, in a bittersweet, nostalgic sort of way that makes me remember all the fun times I spent watching fun late night tv with my bros scarfing taco bell and just being young and hopeful about everything. But now we're all grown up and moved on and everything sucks.
>>
>>70299961
I admire the creativity and dedication of its animation but I'm not particularly interested in the blood-n-guts-for-no-reason goregasm type stuff. Some of the more adventure-themed episodes were alright though.
>>
No, I'm not a fedora.
>>
>>70298693

I do a yearly viewing of ATHF, Sealab and Harvey Birdman; stuff like Harvey Birdman gets funnier each time.

Venture Bros is probably the only "ongoing" series that I bother to watch.
>>
IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR ME

Holy shit I didn't even know about these feels.

This episode must have made up 60% of their original time slots.

That song is so fucking catchy and good. I looked up the band and none of their real songs compare.

No. Stroker, birdman, perfect hair, sealab, space ghost and home movies were the rights shows for the right time. Original, more mature humor intended for kids who grew up watching cw who were becoming older. The humor didn't pander, it was perfectly in touch with the feelings of the kids it was taking to.

2000-2003 adult swim is a fucking anamoly. It was the perfect idea, with the perfect shows for the moment in time.

It's 90% shit now. It doesn't have its finger on the pulse of its audience, and it became too widespread in society. Adult swim is like the 4chan of broadcast tv
>>
venture bros is always good for a laugh

Sad. Too bad most of us didn't make the third phase jump. I wonder where we would be if we had.

I really loved the bumps they had. I remember there was one with a clown head attached to some giant steel cube being lifted up and it always gave me the creeps.

I like the infomercials.

yes, it's the only comedy I like

are you implying that the humour is adolescent? because i'd say you'd have to be intellectually bankrupt to not have an absurdist mindset

I like most of it, but I've never been able to grasp why Aqua Teen Hunger Force is meant to be funny.
