Adult Swim

I'm interested in knowing how many Oddworld fans are also Adult Swim fans or foes. Please let me know how you feel about it and your favorite shows from it.

@d1t $W!m !z D@ R0X MY S 0x!!!!!!!!!!11one

But seriously, I love AS. I watch it every sunday, and whenever I'm awake on weekdays.

And I love them for putting on FLCL, which is not only my favorite AS show, but my favorite series ever. Aqua Teen Hunger force is another one of my faves; SeaLab 2021 and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at law are also hilarious. Big O was pretty OK...

Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Brak Show. they are the only thing funny on my television.

Adult swim is great.

I've been in ****ing love with their text-humor campaign thing. Very amusing.

Family guy, home movies, aqua teen hunger force.

All I really watch on adult swim. I watch the brak show on occasion, though it's usually only the last few minutes due to my poor timing.

Sadly, I do not have cable, so I cannot watch Adult Swim...I'd pay for cable if there were some other decent shows on, but everything else is crap...

But Futurama...whoa. I love love LOVE this show. My favorite show of all time. It has such a great sense of humor that has never been done before, yet it's perfect. The writers also are pretty damn smart.

Forbidden Paradise · #6 09-09-2003, 04:32 AM

I like futurama, but because I watch the simpsons too much it sorta ruins it for me. I love family guy, because it has so many plots I can relate too.

Facsimile · #7 09-09-2003, 07:49 AM

We don't get Family Guy and Futurama on it here. We only get the quater hour shows. But they are damn funny. But now one of the nights is filled with anime. Oh how I hate anime.

Fez · #8 09-09-2003, 04:55 PM

we dont get that kind of thing in Britain, and even if we did, i would'nt get it, i dont have sky!

Nath · #9 09-09-2003, 05:32 PM

We get Family guy and Futurama on Sky One, but i've never heard of the other programmes.

OANST · #10 09-09-2003, 08:17 PM

I have not missed an episode of sunday night adult swim since the day it started. My favorites are the Williams Street shows. I have the entire set of space ghost action figures and I am soon going to get the aqua teen plush dolls. Long live adult swim and anime is teh s uck. I like the anime but that cracks me up everytime they put it in the cards. I want to get the shirt.

Sekto Springs · #11 09-09-2003, 08:17 PM

AS is boss, zombies, awesome, hot, bitchin' and all those other ridiculous compliments.

fav shows (in order from favorite-ist to least favorite-ist):
FLCL (all the way babay)
Family GUY (i love Stuey)
BIG 0 (i like batman so heck)
FUTURAMA (ive always loved that guys humour)
Brak show (zorak rox)
Aquateen (very stupid humour)
Havey Birdman (i like the variety of old characters they mix in)
Blue Gender (kinda lost it)
Trigun (not into westerns)
Lupin (this i find very stupid)

OANST · #12 09-09-2003, 08:19 PM

I am glad that you share my dislike for Lupin.

Sekto Springs · #13 09-09-2003, 08:22 PM

yes i am not into that art style of anime, nor do i like the plots

OANST · #14 09-09-2003, 08:25 PM

The show is really just not funny. There is still a lot of great shows on as though.

SeaRex · #15 09-09-2003, 08:27 PM

You can't dis Trigun, ss. Do so, and I cut you. I CUT YOU GOOD!!! My opinion is infallible!

Lupin may be crappy, but it was a breakthrough anime at the time... you gotta give it that.

YOU'RE WRONG!!!

Yeah... add Family Guy and Trigun to my list. I loves them like I loves fried chicken.

MrBoj · #16 09-09-2003, 08:29 PM

THE EVIL MOKEY THAT LIVES IN MY CLOSET!!!!

....but he wasn't always evil.....

Sekto Springs · #17 09-09-2003, 08:33 PM

yes i remember that scene...LOTS O" LAUGHS good shows, they will always stick with me

Dipstikk · #18 09-09-2003, 09:02 PM

I'm the bad one because I stay up and watch it.

But NOBODY TELL NO ONE! I like my schedual.

I kinda like Inu Yasha, even though I hear the majority of the show's fans are female. But there are a few guy fans, an' I'm proud to be one of the five.

...five-hundred...

Lupin is cool, and the Manga is even better. I'm gonna get angry eyes for saing this, but I find Lupin very fun to watch. Especially all of the real-world refrences and topical humor (which are both rare in even the mightiest of Anime.) And who doesn't find Fujiko appealing? Oh, and remember when they said that Lupin would be going Live-action? Well, it's true.
(Jim Carrey as Lupin? Good idea.)

(You may now begin the pummeling)

Cowboy bebop and Trigun have some kind of similarity, I just can't put my finger on it. I like 'em both.

And all the other Anime is great. I'm just glad there is more on my plate than Dragonball Z and Cyborg 009.

Well... they both have a western theme going for them. That's probably what you're thinking of.

Oh yeah, add Cowboy Bebop to my list. "Toys in the Attic" is my absolute favorite anime episodes ever. It was brilliant... kinda.

Yeah. This is going to be one of those topics that I post tons of meaningless crap in.

OANST · #20 09-09-2003, 10:12 PM

There are a lot of people who like Lupin. I'm not one of them but it doesn't anger me that you do. Okay people. What are your favorite Carl or McGuirk quotes?

Carl- Yeah it is a good mornin'. It's three o'clock in the friggin' mornin'!

McGuirk- which one of you kids wants to play dice?

That was my all-time fave.

Never leave lobster in the fridge. EVER.

Sekto Springs · #22 09-10-2003, 07:38 PM

i like the episode "Ballad Of Fallen Angels"

i am a fan of Inu Yasha, but it pisses me off how they wait till like the 50th episode to show Kagome and Inu Yasha gettin jiggly wit' it.

Ashe · #23 09-11-2003, 03:06 AM

Hello old and not so tasty. Our Adult Swim here is different from the one in America. At the moment we have Orphen and Trigun. They are good. But there is also this horrible show called Space Ghost or something like that. I is so bad I would always turn it off. It is supposed to be funny, but I do not find it funny.

Facsimile · #24 09-11-2003, 07:09 AM

Space Ghosts rules! That's like the only show where the silences are as funny as the talking (the other being The Office).
But then you don't have a very good sense of humour, you didn't even think George Bush as a hot chick was funny.

***Cloverfield*** · #25 09-11-2003, 10:35 AM

LOL ... I can't say I like that Space Ghost thing either. I only saw one episode though. Didn't find it funny at all. Maybe it's more a male humor thing though ... as my brother was sitting there laughing his head off, and me and my mum are like ... what's funny?

Anyways, I don't watch Adult Swim, because my brother already has all the animes on it on DVD, so I'll just watch his DVDs if I want to watch something.

Abe Babe...

OANST · #26 09-11-2003, 09:04 PM

Don't watch it for the anime then. Watch it for the williams street stuff that is on sunday nights. Space Ghost is one of them and really is one of the most ingenius shows on television. I actually get a little offended when people say bad things about it. It's my favorite show on television. Offended isn't really the right word though. More like confused. Please give it another try.

SeaRex · #27 09-11-2003, 09:53 PM

The "Gas Leak" episode with Busta Rhymes on Space Ghost was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Holy shit. I was trying SO hard to supress my laughter so I wouldn't wake up my family.

Moltar: "So-o-o-o... what is it?"
SG: "It's symbolic... shut up!"

That's thing about Williams Street stuff though, one episode will be side-splitting, and the next will be... crap. I still loves them, though. Fave ATHF quote:

Danzig: "Look, if you don't find that f*cking robot, I'm gonna be eating my cereal out of the bottom of you f*cking skull... GOT IT?!"

(Danzig leaves)

Shake: "Hey robot, you better go. Danzig... he's getting pretty pissed, you know?"
Robot: "No. I don't like him... he's loud... scary... and doesn't wear a shirt."

EDIT: Ok... so maybe it doesn't sound funny when it's all typed out. You had to be there.

Facsimile · #28 09-12-2003, 08:10 AM

I have only seen series one of ATHF, and have just finished downloading them, so next I will do two. I can't wait for Return of the Mooninites. My fave quote:

Carl talking to self: Alright I'm gonna give this rainbow thing five more minutes, and if it don't show up quick, then I am going down to the store, and get a hotrod magazine. 'cos they got the chicks with the boobs on there.

The way he puts his sentences crack me up.

OANST · #29 09-12-2003, 08:25 PM

That busta rhymes episode was seriously just unnecessarliy funny. I thought I was going to pee myself.
