Adult Swim


No it's not pool Porn you sick perverts....it's Adult oriented animation on Cartoon Network. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out. Some of the funniest Pop culture stuff is on here. You have your standard adult animation: Family Guy, Futurama, then there is the original bizarre stuff. First there is Aqua Teen Hunger Force. A floating box of Fries with a Goatee, a Walking Shake and a ball of uncooked hamburger named Meatwad who live in a rented house in New Jersey and solve crimes....although they really haven't solved alot of crimes but that's their cover. I know you are scratching your heads right now saying "Steve...WTF????" Watch it, and make you own judgement. Hey each episode is only like 12 minutes long. Then we have my favorite: Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. Birdman was a lame Hanna-Barbera cartoon that the geniuses at Adult Swim turned into a sitcom style cartoon. Birdman is now a Lawyer : He wears his mask, and a three piece suit. His enemies are the opposing council and the Judge, I believe, is one of his many enemies as well. Funny episodes have included: The Flintstones aka the Sopranos where Fred and Co have an office in a Bedrock stripclub called "The Dabba Do". Shaggy and Scooby busted for pot possession......like no one saw that coming......just some funny crap. They also play some pretty cool and some pretty strange Anime as well as some intersting pseudo animated stuff. There are also a couple of stop animation shows. Morel Orel: A claymation spoof of the Fundy Christian claymation show Davy and Goliath. Very funny and wrong in all sorts of ways....Then there's Robot Chicken. Think Action Figures gone bad. From the mind of Seth Green (Dr. Evil's son....) comes a series of shorts about Action Figures doing bizarre and funny things. Skeletor commiting suicide, Te-La being a "girls gone wild" druken slut......funny funny.......and there "bumps" in between shows are brillant as well. A bump is something that fills the space where there is no broadcast of a show or commerical basically. The guys that work and program there are all tuned into pop culture and the current vein of what's funny and what's not anymore. They often post up viewer emails then answer them in the bump.
