I won't relate to any of it because the main characters have children and significant others. Bring back aqua teen. I want to watch something about a bunch of aimless freaks living off the dole.

i don't watch TV anymore but I kinda wanna watch this, but I also liked Regular Show a lot. it was the only show I continually watched on Cartoon Network up until I moved three years ago and stopped watching cable. But from what it seemed, I got out at a good time because they were just starting a dumb love triangle arc with Cloudy Jane, Mordecai, and Margaret. It was really awkward and not fun to watch. I loved everything else about RS though so I'll look forward to hearing if this is any goodGeneral Dog posted:Also Benson's dispenser had to be intentionally phallic right? totally. they'd also make lots of jokes about he'd drop his balls when surprised. Then followed it up by specifying he dropped his gumballs. Because it's a show for children, you see. The Grimace fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jul 28, 2017 |

I'm a strong proponent of the idea that censorship often makes things better because it forces creators to work around ways to get through the censorship, usually smart ways. It's one of the reasons why I didn't care for Futurama after it went to Comedy Central. You've gotta earn your laughs.

"boom goes the dynamite -- and the dynamite is my ding-dong" "butt cheeks butt cheeks butt cheeks" it's like the execs that gave it the green light and the cretins who came up with that runny dogshit are openly mocking everyone who views it it makes Drawn Together look like The Simpsons

If I had first been exposed to Jason Mantzoukas by anything other than The League, I might not hate him so much, but I guess I'll never know for certain.

Fried Watermelon posted:Does Regular Show have continuity between episodes or any long story arcs I think the only over-arching plots I remember revolved around romantic relationships. Like the bird who wanted to kiss another bird, but ended up kissing a cloud instead and the other bird got mad, and then the cloud got mad that the bird was upset that the other bird was mad. I think this went on for about 4 non-consecutive episodes.

I will shamefully admit that the part where he did the splits while rollerskating and his balls caught fire from friction with the ground gave me a sensible chuckle. Solid sight gag 8/10.

Stripper clowns? https://www.facebook.com/Clown-Stripper-Productions-220908871315947/   Edit: American Dad is definitely better than Family Guy, as they actually try to write a funny story rather than a series of random gags.

i don't ever really talk to anyone about this because the ppl i meet who are vocal about liking these shows make me uncomfortable like when your cashier is very old and keeps licking their lips and then licking their fingers to count out your change and you don't want to take the bills but you have to but christ almighty you don't want to touch their spit and you feel so sad and disgusted and even a little ashamed but my old roommate turned me on to regular show as well as adventure time and steven universe and they're all pretty cool

American Dad is fantastic but it dropped off my radar after it went off Fox, which is very unfortunate because it was really the funniest show on that entire block. Where Family Guy has just tried to cram as many random jokes as possible into what has become a boring formula, American Dad actually builds off its characters and makes amusing episodes based on their strengths and weaknesses. Family Guy's characters can change on a whim depending on whatever the joke of the day needs. Mike Lazzo is totally a jerk. I guess he must be doing something right if AS is still high in the ratings.

aqua teen was always consistently solid. the creators wanted to keep making new episodes for a long time, but mike lazzo is an idiot and told them that the 11th season would be their last whether they liked it or not the "finale" was a half-hour episode that gave the series closure, but then they had a website-only episode that was the true finale. nothing important happens in it and that whole previous episode was just meatwad watching it on tv. an appropriate send-off imo

I honestly have an easier time relating to a talking meatball than I do to people with kids, and I say that knowing full well how the meatball made friends with a monster made of condoms.
