I can't find the reference, but someone found the place they were sourcing the equipment at one point

So I know this is smiling friends but like I’ve tried watching that and hated it. One episode probably?

Does it get better? It’s awful popular..

It's a lot like the mid-late 90's non-Beavis and Butthead MTV animation in that it's unapologetic about its poor animation and art or its completely unhinged premise. It doesn't get better, but if you let yourself get into its groove you will become more open to it and enjoy it more.

But it won't become more like something else.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, nah.

If that’s just what it is I’ll keep it as an entry in my server but I’m not gunna watch it myself.

Thanks for the info :)

Your code may suck, but your reviews are fantastic.

[–] bfg9k@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It's definitely not for everyone, it appeals more to people like me who have been watching dumb YouTube cartoons since 2007 and leans into the 'lol random' style of comedy. If you aren't enjoying the first ep it's probably not for you.

It’s great if you like stoner Adult Swim stuff. It was a breath of fresh air for those of us that missed things like Superjail!, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc instead of endless Family Guy reruns and shonen.

Do you like "off the air"?

I really like it.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I spent most of college stoned and watching it. Great times. Also love the weird ads series.

[–] DominatorX1@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 days ago

It's so pure. No narrative. Just wiggling colorful stuff in my face.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It's a weird brand of comedy. Watched one episode with my wife, and while I enjoyed it, she said she wasn't nearly high enough for it.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Popular? This is my first time hearing about it

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So something can't be popular just because you haven't heard about it? It's immensely popular, one of Adult Swim's biggest hits ever.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Of course I'm not saying I'm the arbiter of popularity. Comment sections are for sharing personal experience or opinion. I hadn't heard of it so I said that.

I will say I've at least heard of most popular things, but that's clearly not an absolute fact

I HEREBY DECLARE MYSELF AS THE ARBITER OF POPULARITY. MY FINGER IS ON THE PULSE OF SOCIETY. I AM BECOME THE TARGET AUDIENCE.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You got me! Nice avatar, btw.

He’s playing a character in that. One that’s fun, but still. I met him once, nice guy who understandably doesn’t like all the trappings of celebrity. A lot of people take it as being aloof or condescending, but he was just a dude.

It’s such a good show. Alton Brown does such a good job. They have another one now I guess with someone who is very much not Alton brown and it’s sad.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

Altdom Brown
