I hated what little I saw of Demetri Martin's show, but I didn't really watch enough of it to make a fair judgement and I don't plan to.
Drinky Crow sucks purely because the jokes are predictable and lazy.
"Okay, guys! Ideas for Drinky Crow! Um... he gets drunk and gets into crazy shenanigans! BRILLIANT!"
And I personally believe an actors delivery of certain lines is very important too. In Drinky Crow, there is no spirit behind the VO work and it falls just short of "suck". How many lines in ATHF would have just been irritating if Dana Snyder wasn't kick-ass?
Mind of Mencia is definitely high on the list of suck. Mencia has no mind, so to title the show "Mind of Mencia" should be a dead giveaway of what you're in for.
There was a period in my life where I just stopped watching telly for like two months. I flipped it on one day right as Adult Swim was starting and watched their most recent line-up. I can say with fervor that almost everything I watched that night left a taste of stale ass in my mouth for days afterwards. Mighty Boosh, Fat Guy Stuck in Internet, Drinky Crow, Xavier Renegade Angel, and new episodes of Family Guy were what welcomed me with a big fat "Thats what you get for thinking television would get any better!"
