Can't believe they gave this rapist his own show, on Cartoon Network of all places.

This show was incredibly comfy
I will defend tigtone to my dying breath

Tom Goes to the Mayor=kino
Tim and Eric Awesome Show=reddit

>>212010632
It was refreshing to watch a comedy that wasn't mean-spirited for once.

>>212011372
Both are extremely reddit.
>>212011330
These too.

>Space Ghost
>Aqua Teen
>Sealab (Murphy episodes)
>Venture Bros (first three seasons, before it got up its own ass with the lore)
>Rick and Morty (first two seasons, similar situation to Venture Bros)
>Tom Goes to the Mayor (I hate Tim Heidecker with a passion, but that particular show works for me)

I had never watched Saul of the Mole Men until recently on one of those YouTube channels that show old Adult Swim/Toonami blocks complete with time-appropriate commercials, and was surprised to realize that Trey Parker performed the theme song.

>>212011597
>I hate Tim Heidecker with a passion
why? he consistently makes funny stuff

>>212011639
1) Tim and Eric Awesome Show did irreparable damage to the block that it has never really recovered from
2) He’s a petty and vindictive asshole who hides behind the “Aww shucks, I’m an awkward funny man” persona, and was into the “hyper-aggressive politics” before it was mainstream

>>212011733
His politics are retarded, but aside from that I think he makes such great stuff I couldn't care about the Adult Swim TV block drama or his womanly behavior. I mean look at On Cinema, that is high art and I won't let anyone tell me that because he's retarded politically and socially that his comedy sucks lol.

>>212011597
it's so sad how the first two seasons of rick and morty were really solid and it has just sucked so hard since then. whatever happened in that huge break between seasons 2 and 3 absolutely killed the show.

>>212011803
I’m talking he opened the door for Adult Swim to stop being about surreal comedic animation (and Futurama reruns), and just became a depository for cheap and low-effort, live-action, alt-comic “ironic” comedy that’s funny because it’s not funny. Heidecker was the vampire, and Mike Lazzo was the idiot who invited it in.

frisky dingo is the funniest

>be tim
>read this thread

>>212011923
How is it his fault that Adult Swim made bad programming decisions following Tim's successful shows? Not everyone can do this style of comedy and, as you mentioned, tons of posers attempted to copy it and failed miserably.

>>212012019
because he's a white non-jewish guy that went locally to temple university at 4k a year tuition. he has a lot of power

>>212011809
I don’t know how much of it is true, but I’ve always heard that Harmon hired on a bunch of new writers between season 2 and 3, most of which were women.

Season 3 was also when it went full-on mainstream. I had never even heard of the show until shortly before season 3 started. I will also forever maintain that Szechuan Sauce situation, which I will forever maintain was the bucket of cold water in everyone’s face, and marked the point when it stopped being cool. It’s like a rock was turned over, and everyone got to see how annoying and spergy the fanbase was.

>>212012018
lol

>>212011514
I NEED a cute paranoid prepper gf bros

I’ll be honest I always hated the adult swim originals and only tolerated them because they aired before the anime

>>212012176
big o was the indication i should go to bed. also wasn't saturday the anime block?

>>212012078
i've also heard the same. seems like a very harmon thing to do since male feminists love to over-compensate and self-destruct, ESPECIALLY after they got caught doing something that completely contradicts their entire ethos. never trust people that make feminism, politics, or sexual identity their entire personality.

>>212012019
He’s patient zero. That would not have happened without his involvement, and they continued to make more and more of that slop. It’s not like they did TGTTM and Awesome Show and then rode off into the sunset. They altered the ecosystem and then squatted on it, and continued to feed off it.

>>212012212
Big O is kino anon

I like R&M before it disappeared up its own ass, but I always felt it didn't belong on adult swim. In my eyes [as] shows should always feel crude and light on continuity.

>>212012212
they shifted the anime blocks around all the time. I remember being heartbroken when I found out they were going to start airing Inuyasha late during weeknights instead of Saturday night because I was like 10 and couldn’t stay up that late

>>212012233
It never struck a chord with me, maybe I was too young while it was airing but it gave me the same vibes as teen titans or the last airbender where it was a “wannabe” anime (although in this case it actually was Japanese)

>>212011274
The man did his time

What did I think about this?

>>212012356
we don't know what we don't know, I forgive u...

>>212012397
worth checking out in 2025 as a grown man?

>>212012233
i gave it plenty of chances it just didn't click

the only people who hate squidbillies are city slickers

>>212012471
I think so. It's noir-esque and interesting.

>>212011597
Saul of the molemen deserved another season

>>212012212
Initially it was, then they shifted anime all over the block.
>>212012356
>maybe I was too young while it was airing but it gave me the same vibes as teen titans or the last airbender where it was a “wannabe” anime (although in this case it actually was Japanese)
Teen Titans and Airbender were fake anime.
>>212012471
If you like mecha and film noir, absolutely. Season 1 > 2, though both are kino.

Even though they're supporting the resident pedophilic cringe cartoon guy.

>>212011330
smiling friends has so little episodes it barely counts as a show

>>212012375
It gave you the dongfidence to finally throw that ska-mitzvah you've always wanted.
Skins are moving innnnnn

>>212012375
A lot better than it had any right to be

>>212012687
>resident pedophilic cringe cartoon guy.

I don’t follow.

>>212012687
who is bro talking about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ScYz9sNaQk

>>212012297
That was also my issue with Venture Bros. It was great when it was an episodic parody of Johnny Quest and comic books, but then lost me when it started taking its continuity and lore semi-seriously.

I'm still seething.

The first few seasons of Squidbillies are redneck kino and this is coming from someone whose lived in Alabama their whole life and loves William Faulkner

>>212012676
>Teen Titans and Airbender were fake anime.
I know that’s why I hated them. Big O gave me the same “vibes” despite actually being Japanese and I know that makes me sound like a woman but I was 10 and it was boring

>>212013109
>I was 10 and it was boring
This is why I missed out on some good shit as a kid that I rediscovered as an adult lol

>>212013167
same. It’s so ass backwards that I thought Inuyasha was peak anime storytelling over something like Big O

>>212013358
>Inuyasha
don't shit talk that show, it was peak
>get my gf into anime as a highschooler
show

>>212013610
I mean it was the perfect anime for being 10-16 but in hindsight it’s really not good. The original ending theme is peak (as the kids say) and I don’t think it has been surpassed 20+ years later

>>212013873
kek agree

>>212012807
>>212012869
The creators of the show are close friends with >shadman

>>212014406
I'm gonna have to watch the show. sounds based.

>>212012375
I've have had

stuck in my head for years.

>>212014507
The show is fun yes, shadman is cringe.

>>212012807

>>212011343
The D&D movie should have been animated like this.

>>212014569
>shadman is cringe.
u dun belong hear

>>212014711
NTA but fuck off pedo, nobody likes that autist, he was just a meme but that's been literally 10 fucking years ago

move on

shadman made legitimately good porn if it wasn't pedoshit or focused on gaping assholes

>>212014902
>same generic cartoon body with silly proportions regardless of the character
It's good if you are a simple minded teenager

>>212011240
first two seasons are kino but then it starts going downhill

I have every episode of Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell and Neon Joe: Werewolf Hunter still on my DVR.

Tim and Eric exploited people and by all accounts Tim is a tremendous asshole to people in his personal life

Great style and aesthetic but the stories and characters aren't compelling.

>where it was a “wannabe” anime
It actually felt like it was aping BTAS, but humorless and no fun villains.

>>212016503
>It actually felt like it was aping BTAS, but humorless and no fun villains.
properly summarized exactly why I didn’t like it

This board is truly dead.
12 oz. Mouse is a timeless classic

>>212017142
EYE think it's a pretty funny show

>>212011240
BIZZARO!

>>212017142
12 oz mouse is a shitty show and you should fucking feel bad for watching that piece of dog shit like I get it that everything was made like dirt cheap and that's kind of the appeal of adult swim and what not a 12 oz mouse is where I draw the mother fucking line. If you can't put any more effort beyond that I don't got time for that shit. It could be a fucking cinematic masterpiece for all. I give a shit. If it looks like dog shit I'm not interested

You know fuck all of you at the same time. Like yeah it's not at the same level as the Murphy seasons. His son did the best that he could and those last season and a half or two of clap is good. It does have some really really good episodes. Are they always on the same level as 2021s like first three seasons? No, but there's actually like at least two or three episodes in that little time frame that I actually prefer over most of the stuff from the first three seasons. Like if you don't like isla de chupacabra you're fucking dumb

>>212010416 (OP)
home movies is still the best animated show i've ever watched
dr katz is kino as well

>>212012687
watched one episode of this and it was lolsorandum but not in the good way

>>212017697
I don't hate him and did like a decent amount of his episodes. Him doing it is better than 90% of the other AS shows. Murphy was just so fucking good that anyone else stepping in would be less. I am glad that we got his season.

>>212012078
Reminder the sazurian sauce McDonald’s YouTube guy had never even seen the show and was just farming internet drama

>>212017697
Isla de Chupacabras is the only post-Murphy episode that lives up to the first two season. That said, I still enjoy 3 and 4 but not nearly as much.

reading this thread and seeing all of these shows I haven’t thought about in 20 years is making me realize just how shitty adult swim was and is

>>212015205
says the guy masturbating to AIslop

What was your favorite April Fool's joke? For me was the ATHF movie.

>>212016972
I love when he screams something, then gets really quiet for his next life, I forget what specifically he's yelling about before getting on a bus, but he eventually stops and tells the old woman behind him "oh, after you young lady."
>>212018199
I have fond memories of staying up til 3 AM on a school night on /co/ watching the Space Ghost marathon.

Robot Chicken, S1 of Superjail, about it really.

>>212014850
>gets this mad over jokes
FBI, this guy's HDD, SSD, M.2 drive, etc

>>212016199
>he's an asshole irl
He isn't my friend; he's a dancing monkey that makes me laugh.

Since ATHF is basically on everyones list post your top 5 episodes.

Super Model
Total Re-Carl
Mayhem of the Mooninites
Larry Miller Hair System for Men
The Shaving

Surprisingly a hard list to make.

>>212018652

*everyone that isn't devoid of humor

it's retard tier gen x humor

>>212018199
either that or toonami

Robot chicken always sucked
>what if 80s cartoon but they say bad words or do the sex!

1. ATHF
2. Sealab
3. Venture Bros
4. SpaceGhost
5. Squidbillies

>>212010632
The last season of this was so dogshit because of that jo firestone chick

>>212018756
Guess I prefer the gen x humor to squidbillies & co then

>>212018652
The broodwhich, The one where meatwad has a pet snake, the bar trivia one. There's too many good ones desu

>>212018696
ATHF is a humor vacuum

>>212019015
Unknown Hinson, son. What don't ya get?

>>212019287
It really is and I feel retarded for not “getting it” while so many anons think it’s great. Even when I was like 12-16 (the shows main demographic) I thought it was fucking dumb and unfunny and found myself pretending to laugh because all of my friends thought it was the funniest shit

>>212019445
It turns out humor is subjective

>>212019757
right but SO many people in my inner circle, including here, find it to be the funniest thing ever and I’m the outlier I feel crazy

>>212019886
As the outlier most of the time I get it. Personally ATHF just hits the right point of let loose creativity that those early AS shows had. It was raw in a way and cutting edge in how certain things were presented and shown. You don't have to find it funny though.

>>212019886
Interesting. Next to no one I knew liked ATHF. One of my friends absolutely loved the hand banana episode to the point of quoting lines from it for years, but found the rest of the show to be stupid.

>>212019287
>>212019445
your humor gauges are malfunctioning

>>212014406
Oh no, not shadman, egads! *clutches pearls*

ATHF
Xavier Renegade Angel
Squidbillies (only southerners would enjoy)
Sealab
and maybe Superjail

Morel oral is good...

Every other piece of original programming is pretty mediocre. There are decent jokes in otherwise shitty shows like Assy Mcgee and Brak but they're more bad than good.

>>212019287
Which let's humor naturally fill it making it a funny show

>>212021348

Sorry I'm American.

>>212010416 (OP)
You can tell when someone has taste with adult swim shit cause they'll say something good like frisky dingo, home movies, sealab, squidbillies, 12 Oz mouse, perfect hair forever, Harvey birdman, the brak show, China il but if theyre a retard who's taste is molded by popular opinion theyll say fucking smiling friends, joe pera, eric andre, world peace, tim and Eric, Xavier, moral orel, rick and morty, common side effects.

>>212022344
Venture bros got too much hot air blown up its ass after all that and Gargantua 2.

>>212024422
I like shows from both groups. WHAT NOW?

>>212012375
The dog mayor episode may be the best thing to ever grace a TV screen. Season 3 kind of sucked though.

>>212012233
Season 1 was great.
Season 2 was mediocre.

i do wish more people liked it when it aired, but i think Dino is to blame for going off the rails and sniffing his farts with season 3 (and the ideas for the old hag being a witch or whatever was fucking stupid). as good as it is, season 2 is probably the best season, and the home movie episode in particular was the best one.

>>212024874
THE KIDS GONE CRAZY THEY'LL STICK YA FOR A SLICE OF CHEESE

ATHF when it was still ATHF.

>>212013009
I was interested in a Conan the Barbarian parody but honestly the problem was that the pilot just wasn't very funny imo. The joke was just "LOL EDGY ULTRAVIOLENCE" which really didn't set it apart from any other Adult Swim animated shows as the time, expect it cost like 100x to produce than them.

>>212017142
Worst show ever to air on AS and that is really saying something. You have room temp IQ if this is really one of your favorites.
