What are your favoriite shows on adult swim?

yeah, i love awesome show, some of the best comedy i've seen, but i understand why some don't like. another is Xavier: Renegade Angel. its really ****ed up, but it blows my mind and sometime has me pissing my pants laugh

favorite lines

Xavier "I'm in love with justice"..."Haha your in love with a blind chick"

Awesome show "SPAGETT!!!!!!!!!" "I WANT TO GO ON A HORSE AND BUGGY RIDE!"

I love that they're showing King of the Hill now. I watch it every night. As far as Adult Swim originals...Metalocalypse, Squidbillies, Aqua Teen, Home Movies.

Venture Brothers owns this thread.

I also enjoy Metalocalypse and I used to be into Aqua Teen but lost interest over the last couple of seasons. I really miss the opening segments with Dr. Weird.

I'd like to see them put Sealab back on at an earlier time... it was so brilliant twisted.

I think I'm in the minority of people who actually like Tim & Eric.

Superjail is another one. Great show, even better stoned.

I accidentally caught Xavier for the first time a few nights ago. Twisted.

My favorites are Tim an Eric, Venture and Mighty Boosh.

Venture Brothers is the best show on television, period.

My other favorite Adult Swim originals-

Superjail, Perfect Hair Forever, Harvey Birdman.

I forgot about Superjail. There needs to be a 2nd season.

Aside from Robot Chicken and Venture Bros I'd say Metalocalypse is one of the most popular no? Would anyone recommend it?

I've only just got into the Venture Bros. and it's astounding. I've only now watched the first two seasons but it's probably my favorite TV show right now.

People who don't think Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is funny are boring people who have a boring sense of humour. Most of the time they'll be able to wring laughs out of Family Guy.

As for other shows? Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Sealab, The Brak Show, Robot Chicken, and yeah, I gotta get back into The Venture Brothers.

I love it, but I can honestly see how a lot of people don't find it funny, some people just don't like really odd bizarre humor, it is very surreal and awkward, and some people just don't even get it. The show is genius.

ATHF
Tim and Eric
Robot Chicken
Venture Bros. until I lost track of it around season 3

I have pretty bizarre tastes sometimes, but I couldn't make it through an episode of Xavier. It was just strange to the point of being grating.

Metalocalypse has been a big hit for the network, so yes, it's one of the most popular. If you aren't easily offended, it's a reasonably funny show. It's much funnier, however, if you're a fan of extreme forms of metal.

King of the Hill and The Venture Bros. are their only shows that are great. But I'll watch The Boondocks, Home Movies, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force when I catch them on.

I can barely stomach most of their other shows.
