I'd be more excited of it was season 2 of Undergrads.

Oh, and if this was 2004.

That's a show I haven't thought of in a long time. I don't want to rewatch and destroy my nostalgia for it. I feel like it didn't age well.

10 Year Old Tom is a new show on HBOMax starting September 30. It follows the character Tom, voiced by Steve Dildarian, a 10 year old kid who is forced into the strangest situtations by the adults around him. Steve Dildarian was the creator of The Life and Times of Tim, one of the funniest shows ever made that no one watched. Even though it aired for 3 seasons on HBO its not on HBOMax so your best bet is to find episodes on YouTube. Dildarian desrcibed The Life and Times of Tim as taking a normal guy and confronting him with as much conflict as possible. Some clips from it

It also stars Nick Kroll as Stu, the gooniest mother rucker in media

Nick Kroll as Stu in The Life and Times of Tim is an amazing performance. You truly believe he is every bit the sad and broken man that he is. I wish I could find the clip of him being shut down by old dock workers in a pub when he plays "Who's hosed up the most?"

loving outstanding. Everyone who gets a chance should watch it.

Here's the entire first half of the first episode of season 2. Each episode is split into 2 parts that are self contained stories.

The entire first season of 10 Year Old Tom is up on HBOMax and after watching the first episode this is just the Life and Times of Tim. Same absurd situational comedy except now instead of an adult being pressured its a 10 year old kid being pressured to do steroids by his bus driver.

Anybody who is on the fence with 10 Year Old Tom just needs to read the episode title "The Principal is Banging My Mom." I'm literally struggling to get through this episode, its just too god drat ridiculous.

Edit: Mother fucker just said "This dude is giving it raw to your mom and all you're getting is free pencils?!" Just god drat this show is too good.

Edit 2: Ask google how to stop our principal from banging moms.

There was an entire season of a Birdgirl spinoff show. Although outside of Judy Ken Sebben they didn't use any Harvey Birdman characters.

The closest they got to another Hanna Barbara character was a female version of Morbo The Mind Taker.

The show had potential but it just never grabbed me. I think some of that was the animation style looked really rough and cheap, and not in the charming way Harvey Birdman was.

What were you thinking of in particular, because I didn't get the sense of that for the most part tbh.

I think it was the heavy lines and something about the character models and how they moved just seemed wrong. It felt like they were trying to do low budget instead of being low budget because they had to. I know that might not make any sense but its something I can't put my finger on. It just seemed off...

I had a friend that loved that show and I tried watching an episode with her but couldn't even make it through one. I think she mentioned something about how she could relate to all the puberty stuff and I guess as a woman there isn't much media that deals with female puberty with any kind of good natured humor. Maybe it just hit a niche no one else makes media about so its good just because there is no competition.

Since I'm not resurrecting a dead thread with this post I want to say anyone that hasn't seen Smiling Friends needs to rectify that. I was apprehensive of it but I'm glad I gave it a shot since its hilarious.

Watch the first episode and if the scene of when they meet their first client doesn't get you turn it off, its not for you.

Yeah I don't really see a way to reboot Johnny Bravo and not get a huge up roar. One of his defining character traits was "unbelievably horny sex pest" and if you took that away then its not Johnny Bravo. I loved that cartoon as a kid but I think we just need to let it stay dead.

hot take but that feels like alot of animated/sit coms for a while. every couple bitterly hates each other and then once and awhile have make up sex. it took rick and Morty like 4 seasons to drop that plot line. its kinda sad when the most wholesome relationship in an adult animated thing belongs to an online cartoons about daemons from hell that work in a murder company. I am sure there are others obviously but thats from my knowledge.

This is another way in which American Dad is superior. Stan and Francine truly love each other and they did a whole episode where they both learn they are shallow as all hell but that's ok because their shallowness fits with each other. There are still episodes where their marriage is tested but it never seems mean or vindictive like other shows.

Same with Jeff and Haley. Sure they piss each other off but they are good for each other and genuinely care. Ending that plotline by just marrying them already was the best move they made for both of their characters.

One of my favorite parts of the "7 Fires" episode is when Roger has time to explain to Francine about how she is meeting a character of his to prepare her for the reveal. Even mentions how its nice to finally see someone off instead of just appearing as whoever he is being.

The Nebuchadnezzar wine gag in that episode is unbeatable but Roger warning Francine is a nice touch.

When they get aware from Quagmire being a sex creep and instead focus on his complete lack of tech knowledge or even what tech is is when I laugh. Him finding out about internet porn was a good gag even if it led into the story of him meeting him but a woman that takes it way too far.

When he learns about Tinder and is being told how to use it hit WAY too close to home for me. Everything else not so much but that stuff... ouch.

I can also mention I gave up on Family Guy and would just see newer stuff randomly on Adult Swim or whatever whenever they did the season where they either tried being serious with no comedy or just straight pitch black comedy that didn't land. The episodes about Quagmire's sister being abused and Joe's son coming home AWOL from Iraq were the one two punch that made me "nope" out.

It takes the show's best feature, Spear & Fang's unbreakable bond, and uses it to twist the knife in both of them.

I spent the entire last fight knowing how it was going to end but praying I was wrong. I wonder if next episode will deal with the fallout of it. Fang was looking like she wasn't doing well.

The romance between Fang and the male was one of the sweetest I've ever seen. How is this show so good at showing emotion without dialog.

The best part of that was them getting drunk off of fermented fruit and flirting. Then falling asleep next to each other under the stats. loving romantic as all hell.

It has its own thread although it doesn't get a whole lot of traffic. It doesn't really have those twists and turns to drive it and someone can only say "This show is god drat beautiful" so many times.

Does Family Guy still have the old next door neighbor who is a pedophile? I had a friend tell me a long time ago that only Seth Mcfarlane is skilled enough that we will laugh at an obvious pedophile. I'll admit it was a little funny at first but very quickly wore out its welcome.

I also hated the episode where they "redeemed" him by having him fight someone he has the moral high ground on, a pedohpile that is also a nazi.

Also when it comes to making a pedophile funny or humanized no one will beat the Venture Brothers. Sgt. Hatred is still one of my favorite characters and I'm so glad he got the help he so desperately wanted.

I think the venture bros is also uncensored which in the DVD commentary they always are baffled at since the censor bar was the punch line in all these scenes and the dick is really poorly done.

I thought it was the other way around where they were always shocked at how well the dick was animated even though it was going to be behind a censor bar. I think at one point they mention how they can't get good animation for a car that is in the center of most shots in the episode yet they just mention a penis and the animators give it the smoothest and best animation of anything in the episode.

I would argue Tales From The Tour Bus is also a great animated show with bad animation but that's kind of cheating since they are animating the insane ramblings of country musicians from the 60-s70s in season 1 and funk musicians from the 70s-80s in season 2.

It did show me Bootsy Collins is one of the coolest people to have ever lived and that "Outlaw Country" musicians did just as much horrible poo poo as gangster rappers.

There's supposed to be checks and balances. Someone is supposed to watch this. They knew how bad it was, and still put it on the air.

Royal Crackers looks like a bog standard adult comedy cartoon. With the same stupid jokes and unlikable characters. It's hard to really feel anything for it because it feels so generic.

Back in the early Aughts Comedy Central tried to compete with the emerging powerhouse of Adult Swim's Sunday Block. They played a block that consisted of things like Gary and Mike and Duckman, but the one show they recycled from MTV was Undergrads, which IMO is one of the best depictions of college life on television in that time period. The show still holds up, too.

I mention this because my downloads of Undergrads are all Canadian in origin, having been shown on Teletoon according to the credit liner cards or whatever you call them.

Undergrads was such a good show that died before its time. I still laugh at the exaggerated frat boy stereotype Rocko(?) not knowing what water is.

I also have never gone to college but even I could tell it felt real.
