Post your reviews: Adult Swim Comedy (04/21/02)

[Killtacular]

Post 'em here, folks.

[noclist]

Home Movies: I love every episode of Home Movies and this one is no exception. I love how Jason shows his "homosexual" side by playing with the 2 twin kids. Brendans juices don't seem to be flowing as his movies all turn out to be cheesy musicals so the gang goes on "hiatus." Mr. Lindenson is still in my opinion one of the funniest characters on the show, firing Paula in this episode only to show up at her house and gets drunk drinking "grape death." But, by far, the funniest parts of this episode have to be the McGurk/ Lynch trip to Mexico. One of the funniest lines in season 2 would have to be McGurk saying "what is going on in Mexico?" after Lynch tells him he has a pig in his nose in Spanish.

Overall grade: A

Baby Blues: I'm not a huge fan of this show but it was a pretty good episode. The doctor character was really funny as well as the guy who checks houses for baby hazards. I still think Bizzy is one of the hottest cartoons I've ever seen.

Overall grade: B

Captain Linger: This guy is hilarious, even though his shows are only about 2 minutes long. He saves a train from crashing into a parade and then plays a kids trumpet for the remainder of the show. Good stuff.

NEW Aqua Teen Hunger Force: You can always count on this show for being funny and it didn't dissappoint. Ol' Drippy was a cool character, originating from scum on the kitchen floor that Shake wouldn't clean. In the end, he risked his life to save shake. Not as good as some previouis episode, but good nonetheless.

Overall grade: B-

Sealab 2021: My nipples are hard just thinking about this episode. While the sealab is flooding, the crew argues about their robot selves. Full of hilarious dialogue as usual, this is a classic episode.

Overall grade: B+

Saddle Rash

Shake was such a jerk in that episode, more than usual. :mad:
I felt sorry for Ol' Drippy throughout the entire episode. :(
The only true funny point was with the scene with Dr. Wierd.

I'm only going to post the ones I haven't seen before.

Home movies: only thing that made me chuckle was mc gurk getting the teacher drunk in mexico, and his random drunken comments.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: WAS HILARIOUS IN EVERY WAY. Carl cracked me up so much! Shake was awsome, so was fry lock in the start of it. Better then the moonites!

Rest was repeats (saw baby blues before on its WB airings like usual)

I still have to say that saturday night Adult Swim is the best.

[BlackTerror]

All old stuff but for Aquateam but...what the heck...

Home Movies: Pretty funny, the skat routine was great as was
Mr. Lindenson's scenes. Grade: A

Baby Blues: One of the better episodes. I agree that the doctor's pretty funny as well as the baby safety inspector. Grade: B

ATHF: It was pretty good but...begeezus what a mean spirited episode! I was waiting for Frylock to toast Shake in the end for comeuppance at the very least. Grade: B+

Sealab 2021: I've seen this way too many times to enjoy it much now but the last scene with Quinn revealing himself as a robot still strikes me as kinda funny. Grade: B+

SGC2C: Some great guests with Michael Moore, Kevin Smith, etc. but Space Ghost humor never does much for me. The stuff with Space Ghost and his intern was sorta of amusing tho... Grade: B-

[Mr. Jangles]

ATHF was excellent as usual however the question of what happened to the dishes in Carl's pool was left unanswered. This would bother me if it mattered in any way, shape, or form.

Sealab was also excellent, however i had seen it before so it didn't have that new cartoon smell i fancy so much, so i'll give it an excellent minus for being a repeat.

SGC2C had Kevin Smith. Excellent plus for the whole night just for that.

Baby Blues was an excellent time for me to make a food run.

Home Movies was good but there wasn't enough of Brendan and Coach McGuirk in the same scene. Those scenes are usually the best.

[iAmVincent]

home movies - another good episode as usual, but then again, they all are

Grade: 9/10

baby blues - meh, i dont really like this show a whole lot, and this episode wasnt an exception

Grade: 5/10

athf - not a bad episode, but still no where near as good as bus of the undead and the mooninites. i cant wait till revenge of the mooninites airs in 2 weeks

Grade: 8/10

sealab - this was a good episode. not the best, but still funny

Grade: 8/10

Well I taped everything last night as I was out of town but I did watch Aqua Teen....


My God after last week I was sooooo afraid that the show might lose its edge but Ole Drippy was fantastic!!! Todd Field was wonderfully monotone as Drippy and Carl was hysterical....I have never seen Frylock pissed off for an entire episode!!! And Meatwad....and his dolls...OMG!!!! It definitely was one of the best episodes..........A-


More on the rest when I watch the tape tonight

[Thundercleese]

Home Movies- I love this episode. Especially when Lynch gives the spanish lessons. I have a peanut.

Overall: A-

Baby Blues- Well, i never really think Baby Blues is funny, but i still like it for some reason, but this one was kinda funny

Overall: B

AQHF- LMFAO! I love this episode. It even topped the mooninites episode. I started to hope drippy would flip out and beat the crap outta shake, but he ended up risking his life for him. Man this episode is great...

Overall: A++++++++++++++++-

Sealab- This episode was funny the first 3 times.....but now i just don't laugh anymore. But when i first saw it, it was great, so it's a B+

Overall: B

SG- OMG this episode was the best. I love Rio Ghosto. I thought I'd never see any thing funnier, then i saw Pal Joey, LMAO.

Joey: I love beans....i mean, that song means so much to me
Brak: Yeah well you know, I wrote that sing while i was eatin' some beans
Joey: S'awesome

Overall: A+

[Sandoz]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: A great episode, way better than SCFBP. Drippy was hilarious, although his super-niceness did get annoying. Shake was even nastier than usual, but he kept me laughing. Gotta love Carl, Meatwad, and the dolls--especially the horny headless beer girl. A+

Sealab 2021: This one of my favorites, although it's been overplayed. Stormy: They're going to hunt me for sport?! A

Space Ghost Coast to Coast: Wow, I haven't seen either of these episodes in forever. After Flipmode, Rio Ghosto has to be the most random ep. ever. Having Space Ghost kill his intern ("Good one, Joey!") was classic. A+

[dawnyoshi]

Home Movies-
I have seen this one before, so I didn't really need to watch is again. This episode isn't TOO bad, but still. A LOT of the comedy I see in this show is not only weak, but has nothing to really offer. Personally, I don't see why everybody likes Jason so much. He has his moments (like last night). You can bet I'll be watching Nick at Nite though during the Home Movies hour in May since Cheers is on. :D C+

Baby Blues-
Absolutely the BEST episode of season 1! This one had me laughing my head off when the thermoneter broke. The little added jokes also ruled too, as this episode proves how the casual lesson works out the funny bone! A+

Aqua Team Hunger Force-
Good, but not great. Not that many Carl scenes this week that actually had me laughing. Frylock was funny, and as always, I can't STAND Shake. Ol'drippy was creative, but not enough to make me love the episode. Overall, better than many, but just average laughs. B

Sea Lab 2021-
Okay, did I miss something, or does this episode suck? I think it just sucks for the most part. Not that many funny scenes as one would like in a show on ASC. I tell you, if Season 2 would be like this episode, they should focus more on re-editing Outlaw Star. It would be much more pleasing. The robot jokes SUCK, may I say.
D

I noticed Saddle Rash is replacing Baby Blues next week. Figures since next week would have been funny. Oh well. More game time, less crap.
Overall: C+ Just an average week with a few let-downs.

Well, because of mommy's nagging, I only saw 3 things last night, and ergo will only review those 3 things.

ATHF: I liked this one. Meatwad needs friends who don't tell him to smoke and steal...-(._.)- Ol Drippy was great. Carl is a very very lonely and sad man. Best line; "No, keep your eyes open Meatwad. I wanna horrify you into a coma."

Sealab: A bit overplayed, but still a good episode. I wish they'd show the unedited version that the Sealab guys were talking about...

Space Ghost; Rio Ghosto I've not seen before, but it seemed like one that could grow on me for laughs (like Kentucky Nightmare did). I chuckled a few times, but I forgot when, so its probably quite fruitless. Pal Joey was...eh. I've seen better. They need to play Knifin' Around just ONE MORE TIME so I can tape it. Classic, classic.

ATHF was hilarious this week! Carl, Shake, and Drippy cheesy lines were all funny, and Meatwad's dolls. Frylock was really pissed wasn't he? A+

Best line: "Idle hands go to the genitals, and we know God hates that."- Ol' Drippy
