Because it was all style, no substance.

>>149031096 (OP)
Low ratings (released before the Cobra Kai/Stranger Things 80's revival) and insanely expensive voice actors.

>Why only one season?
Too expensive and not funny enough.

It wouldn't have lasted much longer, though. It came out at the tail end of the '80s nostalgia fad. 2-3 seasons max.

>>149031096 (OP)
People said it was a ripoff of Archer.
Its humor was rather similar to Metalocalypse instead

>>149031096 (OP)
It came out at a bad time. Right after, good cartoons weren't getting made anymore.

>>149031096 (OP)
It was funnier when Will Forte's character wasn't a total loser

>>149031096 (OP)
It took too long to find its footing. It did eventually find a groove, but the series was already cancelled by the time it clicked into place.

>>149031227
Will Forte was easily the single worst part about this show. I’ll give partial blame to the writers too, but his sniveling overacted cartoonish shtick did the show no favors. It’s funnier when the the actors play the ridiculous scenarios straight and let the absurdity be the joke. Will Forte tried WAY too hard to sell it and it suffered as a result.

Weren't the VA's expensive?

>>149031259
Rob Lowe? What was Comedy Central thinking?

The sealab humor was awful, would have liked it better if it was a serious show with humor instead of the other way around.

I haven't seen this show since they stopped airing it on CC, but I was left with this impression

Synthwave autists are just like gamers, esp. retro gamers, very hard to please.

>>149031611
This isn't the Archer thread.

>>149031096 (OP)
You. It was your fault. YOU made it fail. How dare you.

>>149031184
Didn't the 80's revival started with Hotline Miami?

>>149031096 (OP)
Is it like Sea Lab or Archer?

Because Comedy Central fucked the schedule, the producers wasted a ton of money on pointless cameos, and while funny it's not what anyone expected since everyone to this day still writes it off as Synthwave Archer despite not really being like that at all. These issues were insurmountable in acquiring an audience and second season.
>>149032108
Metalacolypse actually, even has a bunch of musical numbers.

>>149031181
damn

>>149031096 (OP)
People mistook it for Archer for some reason

>>149031878
It's not our fault almost no one watches cable TV.

>>149031096 (OP)
>HAHHAHA THE 80S WERE ALL SYNTH WAVE AND NEON!

Because fuck you and fuck everyone else who thinks this you under age shit posting, trash washing, easily led on by stupid memes, vacuous retard. It was a cheap Archer knock off.

>Didn't the 80's revival started with Hotline Miami?
haha....no. It was just a symptom of it.

There was definitely a claim towards '80s nostalgia during the 2000s, but the reality was that it kind of always existed. '80s stuff was still in the cultural zietgiest all through the '90s. "The Wedding Singer" with Adam Sandler released in 1998 is the earliest example I can think of that tried to do a specific setting in the 1980s. Within a few years we also got "American Psycho" and "Donnie Darko" which were hugely popular. Fox Television also tried to capitalize on the popularity of "That '70s Show" with "That '80s Show" but ended up cancelling it after 1 season. By the 2010s we were already in full nostalgia mode with wayfarer sunglasses being back in style and vaporwave and synthwave music starting to become popular. All this shit happened way before Hotline Miami

>>149031096 (OP)
should have had more Raz and Pizazz hate fucking

>>149031428
He was in three different failed shows that year lmao
Two were good (this one and You, Me and the Apocalypse) and the other was forgettable to the point that I don't even remember what it was at all.
>>149033721
>cheap
It was everything but.

>>149034525
I concur

>>149031096 (OP)
They look like cheap Patrick Nagel knockoffs.

>>149035764
That's the fucking point, retard.

Moonbeam City aired on Comedy Central in case you forgot.

>>149036800
what did he mean by this

>>149031096 (OP)
I like the show too but It's not ANYWHERE near as funny as sealab

>encounter tiger 2 at point blank range
>it fails to pen my m47 3 times
>kill it
>check hit analysis
>it bugs out and doesn't show anything
>check protection analysis map
>most of the tank covered in green
unless gayjew fixes their shitty hit analysis i will never know what the fuck happened
the only explanation i can think of is pure retardation combined with extreme luck

I will bury you so deep not even super intelligent earth worms will be able to find you

Thank you chat bot, but you're in the wrong thread.

>>149031221
hm.

If the blind critics actually watched it, I'd think they'd be surprised by how enjoyable it was.

Cop Con episode was top tier.

>>149031096 (OP)
>Sealab humor
Fuck's that supposed to mean?

Was Moonbeam City a fascist ethnostate? Why all the cop worship? Why does everyone lighten their skin with baby powder?

>>149033721
> It was a cheap Archer knock off.
Just added that to be a dick didn't you?

>>149040543
>Was Moonbeam City a fascist ethnostate
I think everyone was just naturally Nagelpeople, if you look closely even the black people were pale people.
>Fascist
Unambiguously yes, the cops literally referred to themselves as the biggest gang in town and terrorized all the gangs into not doing crime while they left for Cop Prom, they used the time to rehabilitate themselves and fix their communities, the cops promptly brutalized and killed them all for fun after seeing them dancing in the streets.

>>149040611
The white paint comes off. Some people just wear it down to their neckline, and in some instances water is shown to remove it from the face.

it only got good on the last couple episodes

>>149039906
It means "Like Archer but actually funny." The first season of Archer had Sealab humor.

>>149032055
Hotline Miami was just aping off of what Drive started

>>149035764
You’re not too bright, are you?

>>149037391
CC kills all their other animated properties for not being South Park.

>>149031096 (OP)
I kind of liked everything about it except the humor.

>>149031096 (OP)
I thought it was getting better towards the end of the season. Really could've benefited from a stronger writing. People will eat up 80s synth / Miami vice if it is done well.
