Here’s a shocking admission…
I just don’t understand [adult swim]. I know that Wil is going to be so disappointed.
Don’t get me wrong, I ::heart:: Futurama and Family Guy. I watch every night. Even if I have already seen the episode a dozen times I will watch it. I like most animated shows… I was a huge fan of The Oblongs, still love the Simpsons, I even sit through American Dad because it amuses me on occasion. I watch a couple of episodes of King of the Hill every day.
I like off beat humor. Despite UMB’s protests, I still say that Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest movies ever. I cackle to Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
But I can’t bring myself to sit through ANY other [adult swim] shows. It is all I can do to sit through the commercials.
So my question is, what’s the appeal of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Robot Chicken? The commercials for “Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job” are painful. Clips I’ve seen of “Saul of the Mole Men” are asinine.
What type of person do these shows appeal to? I can understand the appeal of almost every other type of show on the air… even if I don’t personally care for it, I understand.
But I just don’t get the rest of the [AS] lineup.
Does that make me uncool? Am I not nearly as with it as I thought?*
