Who else Hates Aqua teen Hunger Force?

[Flying Grayson]

Personally, I think it sucks. It is the most stupid show on adult swim. It may have its moments of humor, but it still just doesn't compare to the other shows.

[joker]

i get so pissed off when its on in place of harvery birdman. i hate that show!

[Maxie Zeus]

The designs are a big part of it. They don't make sense: They don't do anything with them.

The scripts don't salvage it, either. Last week's ep (with the Moon creatures coming down) had a nice satirical edge which reminded me of "South Park" (on an off day, I'll admit), and this week's (with the Rainbow machine) was surreal in a "Freakazoid" kind of way. But it doesn't go far enough in any direction, and winds up just being stupid.

[Jimmy Kustes]

The first one wasn't so hot, but you might not have given the last three a chance. Shake is just too funny.

This is the Master Shake signal, it stays on my lid! It's the Master Shake signal!

[Calhoun07]

HATE IT!

I try to watch it from time to time but have to turn away. It's just too painful. I want more Harvey Birdman! That's the only other series I am as excited about as the Brak Show, but I have only seen two episodes of it. When are they going to give us new Harvey Birdman?

I'm also missing Harvey Birdman, especially since I've only seen one! So far that's my favorite of the ones I've seen, and so naturally that's one in short supply. :rolleyes: :mad:

[JustJack]

Bad enough we have to sit through an HOUR of Home Movies(Not a bad show...but an HOUR?!?!!), but then we have to sit through 15 minutes of pure crap, just to watch Sealab! & Sealab is one of my fav's!

15 minutes I have to stay up late..
15 minutes I could be sleeping...
15 minutes I could be watching something else, but I dont want to risk missing any Sealab...
15 minutes I hold a gun to my head...
15 minutes of my life I want bac...ah..who am I kidding? I'd just waist 'em anyway....

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Sucks!

[Trent Lane]

NOOOOO!!!!

This is one of the few shows on Adult Swim that I like! Me and my friends'll joke about it at work. I think it's funny, but that could be because it doesn't take much for me to laugh... that whole elementary school sense of humor...

[Vigo Sprax]

I like Aqua Teen Hunger force, its pretty funny in my opinion.

[Imajine]

Ugh... I despise Aqua Teen Hunger Force! It's boring and I don't really find it all that funny... Harvey Birdman is so much funnier. That and the Brak Show! Brak and Zorak are da best! :D
~Imajine, who has found another obsession

[Flying Grayson]

I'm glad others think that Harvey Birdman should take the place of Aqua teen. Its just hilarious.

[killercroc]

Cowboy Bebop and Harvey Birdman are the only shows I like on the line up. The one with Jonny Quest was a classic! Home Movies has about two laughs per show. They're already showing reruns of Space Ghost.

I have to admit the Maternal Clock episode of Sealab was pretty good, though.

Too bad they didn't get Robert Smigel to do a show!

[Calhoun07]

Maybe Cartoon Network could hire some of the animators leaving MTV? I'd hate to see them out of work for long.

[Killtacular]

Adult Swim's budget is only 25 grand per show, so it'll take a while before you see any shows with actual animation, instead of limited.

Oh, and this made me chuckle.

It is the stupidest show on adult swim.

"Stupidest" isn't an adult word, little Billy. It isn't even a REAL word. You come off as an 11 year old to me. The correct usage is "most stupid".

Mmm. I have to swing to Flying Grayson's defense here. "Stupidest" is correct.

[Killtacular]

Stupid, at the very least, should be dealt in this fashion: Stupid, More Stupid, Most Stupid. Even then, it's more grammatically correct to say "dumber" and "dumbest" in place of more and most.

Example:

Jimmy is more stupid than Jill.
Jimmy is stupider than Jill.

Which one looks correct?

[DR. BELCH]

--I'd have said "most insipid. "Stupid", however you conjugate (or is that just for verbs?) it, feels too weak to cover my dislike of ATHF. Birdman is great, and Sealab and Brak have their moments. But Shake is too greedy and vain for his own good, Meatwad is too stupid to live, and the actor doing Frylock sounds bored and wasted in such drivel. And where the devil do they get that name? Aqua? outside of their fat obnoxious neighbor's pool, they don't go into water or perform undersea missions...Teen? they don't appear to be any sort of adolescent I know...Hunger? they're food, so they aren't starving...and three is a pretty puny "Force".

Well, I can only appeal to the American Heritage Dictionary (http://www.bartleby.com/61/76/S0827600.html), which lists the comparative and superlative adjectives as: "stupider" and "stupidest." We may of course quarrel about style, but the correctness of the -er and -est formations does not seem to be in question.

Since when did this thread become a "Grammar Duel"?:p

Well I have never had completly correct grammar. and I live in Kentucky, no one uses correct grammar, even if they dont' realize it.


Thanks Maxie Zeus for defending my grammar.

I've gotta say that sounds like a personal attack to me, you should try to find a way to build up your ego that doesn't insult others. And besides, you were wrong!

I have read some of your posts, and you seem like a nice guy, but I'd advise you that posts like the one above won't make you many friends on this board. Especially, when it's a nice guy like FlyingGrayson.

Well, it's in the past now. On another note, It's funny that you call people "little Billy." My friends call each other that, also. Kinda silly, but it cracks us up for some reason.

[Bird Boy]

yeah, I watched this show the other day, and I hurt myself trying to find out the point (I know it's supposed to be 'funny' but it wasn't). It was some of the worst crap I've ever seen...

Only shows I like on Adul Swim are Brak Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast....though, Sealab 2021 is sorta funny...

"take that subspace!"
"shut up!"
"no!"

hehe..I laugh everytime I see that commercial!

as for the word "Stupidest"..it is a word. I know for a fact. I use it all the time. IE:

That is the more stupid show on Adult Swim!
That is the stupidest show on Adult Swim!

What sounds better? :p

I thank you as well, along with Bird Boy. Who I agree with that the Brak show is a good show on Adult swim.

[Singin' Stray Cat]

I haven't seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force yet (and guessing from what I've read here, sounds like I'm not missing much) but I have seen parts of Home Movies - not enough there to make me want to see it again. >=p

Well I'll be! When the heck did that happen?? I remember getting in a lot of trouble in my jr. high english class for using the word stupider - the teacher even showed me texts that conjugated the word stupid as "more stupid" and "most stupid" and said explicitly that "stupider" and "stupidest" were incorrect conjugations of the word!

I just watch Home Movies because nothing better is on. It's sort of a long hallway into a good place...

You know, I was always under the impression that if a word had one syllable, you could add -er or -est to it, ie: lame, lamer, lamest. If it was more than one syllable, you had to use the words "most" and "more" and you were not allowed to add -er or -est to the word. Since I am not home right now (I am on vacation) I don't have access to my grammar rules book, but I will be sure to look this one up when I get home! But I recall getting the same lesson clayface got when I was in school.

As to birdboy's question:
That is the more stupid show on Adult Swim!
That is the stupidest show on Adult Swim!

What sounds better?

Ummmm...."That is the most stupid show on Adult Swim" actually sounds better.

If they changed the rules, then they got lax on English grammar. But it doesn't surprise me. Hell, Homer Simpson's "d'oh" is in the fraggin dictionary after all! And people have grown pretty numb to "ain't." Overall, people have grown numb to incorrect and lazy grammar.

Not that I am siding with anybody here or saying who is right or wrong. I just know what I learned in school!

Well, I hate ATHF myself, I've only been watching the Brak show, Space Ghost, and Cowboy Bebop.

[Don The Rodd]

Aqua Teen Force is whacked!
It is OK, but probably my least fav. cartoon on Adult Swim.
Whoever heard of a talking french fries besides Ronald McDonald and maybe the Hamburglar?

[nothing]

To me, the funniest part of the show is the disdain Master Shake shows to Meatwad. The idea is funny, but it should be a gag within a show and not a whole show.

[Flying Grayson]

I corrected my earlier post to let Matt Wilson have his way, So calm down and get of my back about my Grammar. ;)

[ZorBrak]

I love all the shows, including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, except Cowboy Bebop, considering I don't like any anime with very few exceptions (I like all the ones which "real" anime fans think suck, but I think all "real" anime sucks anyways so woopty doo) the only anime I like is DBZ,DBGT, Sonic, and the short lived Ninja Turtles anime, anyways going off topic oops, point is I hate cowboy beebop and hope it stops airing soon and I do agree Birdman is alot better but I have no complaints about Aqua Teen Hunger Force its pretty darn funny. :cool:

[Jowy Blight]

I hate cowboy beebop and hope it stops airing soon

I respect your opinion, but why don't you like Cowboy Bebop?

[ZorBrak]

well for one thing i missed the first couple episodes so i guess im not being fair but that kinda show just bores me too much...sorry....

Yep, it requires a bit more attention on the part of the viewer--CB does not evoke easy laughs or even excite on a constant basis. To some, this is unacceptable. Subtleties are not something everyone wants or likes in their entertainment. I can see why some people would prefer simple, innocent, "instant gratification" shows like DBZ and such. Others, nerds like me, prefer some of that boring character psychology, subtle plot threats, and all of that other dull stuff.

YMMV, of course. :cool:

[Zoraka]

I love ATHF! well, what can i say, i love ALL the shows on AS. :rolleyes:

[meatwad945]

UM .................. ATHF IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER AND IF U DONT LIKE IT U SUCK!!!

[Mad Scientist]

I think resurrecting old threads is against the rules, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, by the way...

This thread was made during the early days of Adult Swim, which means EVERYONE hated ATHF back then. But now they're used to it. Lay off.

That's uncalled for. I hate replying to old threads but since it's already been replied to...

[Joe Tully]

I think that this thread was made elsewhere on TZ before the AS board even existed. And many of the people in this thread don't even visit this board. So look at the dates on the posts and calm down.

In fact, I think I'll close this before we start a flame war over posts made 6 months ago.
