Worst Adult Swim Show

Oblongs.

Adult swim, before it was all week long, was the dumping grounds for the WB. Everything else, Cartoon Network made themselves.

Basically, if it's unworthy of the WB, it doesn't deserve to exist.

I don't like Brack, that show gets to me, and Reign.

Being a semi-fan of AS, I must jump in here. Out of all of AS's shows, my award for "Most Horrible Piece of Dren Ever Animated" would have to go to Home Movies. At least The Oblongs can be funny on occasion. True, Home Movies isn't an AS original, but AS is responsible for the new episodes of it. Why they frelling bothered I'll never know. The show isn't funny in any form, and the old school episodes got on my nerves with the damn shaky line animation. On Ed, Edd, and Eddy they can get away with it, because other parts of the scene stay still (thus proving the show selectively employs hold-cel animation). On Home Movies, the whole THING shakes, and therefore looks half-assed. One thing I'll credit the new episodes with is they dumped the shiver-animation style in favor of Flash.

I personally haven't found the Brak Show all that funny lately. But one show that I would say was the most underrated of the bunch was Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. There have only been a handful of episodes, but the ones that were produced were the funniest damn things I've seen on Cartoon Ntwork in a LONG while (the episode with Apache Chief and the coffee was the best 15-minute penis joke ever animated).

And I'm EXTREMELY pleased that AS has decided to air Futurama. That hilarious Simpsons-on-crack wasn't even given a chance in its first run. Shown at weird-ass timeslots and constantly preempted, I was miffed but not altogether surprised when it got canned.

I'm hoping to start a petition for AS to pick up Invader Zim. Too bad new episodes are a no-go because Vasquez doesn't want to do it anymore, but even just showing the originals would be great. Although I wonder if Vasquez's interest in his bizarre and painfully funny creation could be rekindled, since AS would allow him to get away with more.... If you're interested, you can find the first 36 episodes here.

I find the Oblongs to be quite funny, and Home Movied has its moments. But I've never seen anything remotely funny in Brak. Brak sucks ass.

Oblongs kinda sucks, but out of all the shows, I hate Home Movies the most... It annoys me.

Also, I just wanna defend Reign. I think it's pretty cool.

Oblongs and Home Movies are not very good. As was said before, it can have it's moments, but it doesn't have nearlly enough.

I really enjoy the Brak show (except for the singing), it carries out the same type of stupid comedy as SeaLab 2021 and ATHF. The staring contest episod, where all the wasps started to sting Zorak, that was hillarious. Though, if it didn't have Zorak for absurd violence, it wouldn't be nearlly as funny.

Harvey Bird Man was great stuff.

I just don't like Reign. Sorry but I cannot get into guys wearing cock-cups. I mean in Aeon Flux, it was a little more interesting but I don't think Alexander the Great would like being portrayed as the mighty ruler looking for pants. Just joking (sorry for the jokes to all those who like Reign, just messing with ya!). But I hate how Adult Swim got rid of Space Ghost and Lupin the 3rd!

How could i forget "The Ripping Friends". That show is way past awful. It a really really bad version of ren and stimpy which was only ok at best. As of today adult swim's monday through thursday line up is great except for reign and the fact that trigun's dub isn't that good. Sunday is pretty good, b/c of sealab and aqua teen, those two shows are great.
