That's my Bush was great. Truly the greatest tragedy of 9/11 was the cancellation of that wonderful show.

Best episode.

It was actually cancelled 5 months prior to 9/11, the final episode airing three weeks after the Lone Gunmen pilot where they prevent a conspiracy to fly remote-controlled commercial aircraft into the world trade center.

I think KID Notorious was pretty terrible.

I mean, it says something when you're the worst of the SpikeTV ghetto-Adult Swim Ripoff animation block that includes Striperella
I remember this, it was right after TNN became SpikeTV (the second time, since the first launch was delayed when Spike Lee frivolously sued them for taking his name or some dumb poo poo). I think there was Stripperella, the horrible Ren and Stimpy reboot, and one or two other equally awful "edgy" "adult" cartoons.

Anyone remember Brickleberry? It's like they took Family Guy and surgically removed any hint of awareness or energy from it. It tried so hard to be offensive at every turn and managed to be as outrageous as a bowl of unseasoned gruel. That it lasted three seasons is incredible.

I haven't seen Allen Gregory, so I don't know how they stack up.

I recall someone saying the reason Young Frankenstein was so good was you could tell that Mel Brooks loved the original. With Space Balls you couldn't.

spaceballs felt like an aging Mel Brooks was thinking "The Star Wars! We have to do the Star Wars! That's the thing the kids want! That puts asses in seats!" and then he watched maybe 20 minutes of empire strikes back and he came out of it with Yogurt, pizza the hutt, and the schwartz. It's bad. Im glad he could turn it around and give us Robin Hood Men In Tights which was my go-to bored kid/preteen movie for years.

Brickleberry was bad. I made it through a few random episodes, but it was very bad, and somehow it didn't get cancelled. Hell, they might still be farting new episodes out for all I know. But there's a difference between Brickleberry and Allen Gregory. Every once in awhile, Brickleberry made me laugh. It wasn't often, and not enough to justify following the show regularly, but it was good for a giggle or two here or there when they weren't tripping all over themselves looking for a new way to be offensive for the sake of being offensive. One or two good laughs per episode that I saw: that was Brickleberry. The trick was being able to stomach the bad crap they troweled out before, between, and after those giggles.

Allen Gregory didn't have that. It was not funny in the least, and the thing is, you could tell where they intended for you to laugh. You could tell what was exposition and what was supposed to be a jibe, a joke, a little turn or phrase calculated to make you laugh. But it never once worked because it was all so awful, so mean, so horrible.

I hated Brickleberry on Allen Gregory levels. It really was pretty loving bad. The animation style was so obviously a terrible Flash quasi-ripoff of Family Guy and the humor... there's a reason why Tosh was the selling point for it.

My finest hour as a college newspaper critic was getting to interview Tom Kenny for an article when they were first selling Brickleberry (he complimented my question about Adventure Time melancholy and backstories, which was a :smile: moment). They gave me access to the pilot before it aired, too. On the front page of the entertainment section, I ran the interview with a "review coming tomorrow!" disclaimer. The next day, the "Brickleberry" review got a big fat bold-print F. It was cathartic.

Ugly Americans was really hit-or-miss for me, but the episode with Abraham Lincoln is loving wall to wall comedy, it is flawless.

Okay, I just went and watched most of an episode of Brickleberry, and it was pretty painful. Besides the punching-down awful-people-with-no-comeuppance aspect of it, drat near every joke has its punchline delivered immediately after the setup, which gets old by about the third one.

Ugly Americans had some fairly tepid moments in between some really good ones, but that's never seemed good enough for Comedy Central. I imagine that can happen when you have no shortage of animated comedy pilots to try developing.

I feel Ugly Americans could usually have done more with its premise than it did, but when it was on, it was loving ON.

Ren & Stimpy got pretty lovely after the second season, but I have to admit that "I Love Chicken" from season 4 is still one of my favorite episodes. I guess there were some other gems there as well, but that's the first one that comes to mind.

I wouldn't call Ugly Americans amazing, but it was good more often than it was bad, and dammit the female lead was... well, you know. She was easy on the eyes. It had an OK premise, but it was hit-or-miss with me. That said, when it was hit, it was hit.

Brickleberry... yeah, just not good. I didn't hate it as much as Allen Gregory, but I hated it, and I hated Daniel Tosh for making me want to give it a chance. Nitpicking which show was worse and why, though, is a bit like trying to decide which kind of diarrhea you hate more--is it the runny kind that keeps you on the toilet for an hour of on-again, off-again poopissing, or is it the projectile variety that hits you all of the sudden and some of it ends up on the back of the toilet seat because you couldn't get your pants down far enough? Or is it the kind that you are 100% sure is just a fart until you are 100% sure it's not?

One of those might make you laugh for a moment or two. Probably when you're thinking of something to tell your wife, who will want to know why there's a round spot of poo poo in your drawers. Good for a giggle. But it's still the worst kind of poo poo.
