For me it’s Home Movies

    The fact that no one said the Venture Bros. yet proves it’s the correct answer.

    I have watched and loved a lot of the shows other people have brought up, but the Venture Bros. hold a very special place in mine and other people’s hearts. Incredibly funny and intelligent, and I genuinely cared about the characters and what happened to them. I firmly believe it will likely be the greatest show Adult Swim ever produced.

    For those trying to get into it, the first season is a little slow, they were still figuring things out, but season 2 onwards is all incredible.

    For those trying it,

      I didn’t come into here with Venture Bros. In mind. But that show is high art. 👍👍

    For some reason I keep thinking of Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter. I always reference that show just for how wild it gets.

      Don’t forget the ancient skits up on Brad Neely’s youtube that were the precursor for it.

      Babycakes

      Professor Brothers

      China, IL

      When I was in University, Adult Swim brought one of their “traveling carnival” things through. I know I got rid of my Venture Bros SPHINX! shirt from it, but I’ve got a China, IL pennant flag stashed away somewhere. Hadn’t even watched it at the time, binged it probably half a decade later. Didn’t mean to, but I couldn’t turn it off. Hilarious shit.

        We’re all still waiting on Queeblo 002 twelve years later. Queeblo would be so disappointed in how much a Whopper costs now.

        Queeblo 001

        Also, Neely’s Magnum Opus will always be Wizard People, Dear Reader.

    Oh there’s some gems:

    • Hot Streets

    • Lucy, Daughter of the Devil

    • 12oz. Mouse

    • Frisky Dingo

    • Xavier: Renegade Angel

    • Final Space

    • Saul of the Molemen

    • Eagleheart

    • You’re Whole

    • Joe Pera Talks With You

    • Space Dandy

    I’m hyped for Haha, You Clowns but I suspect it won’t be as well received as I hope it will be. Joe Cappa’s YouTube channel has been a staple for me for a long time.

    Also, just a note but Home Movies wasn’t actually Adult Swim original programming, it was originally on UPN which quickly cancelled it and then Cartoon Network picked it up. I love Home Movies because I love hearing Sam Seder of The Majority Report voicing Fenton Mewly.

    Also if you enjoyed Home Movies, you should check out it’s spiritual predecessor from Comedy Central: Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. First season of Home Movies even used the same “Squigglevision” animation style as Dr. Katz.

      Man, early Final Space had some rough points, but there’s not a lot of shows out there that have hit me harder.

      Olan Rogers (Final Space Creator) has never really felt like a guy who I would expect to hit a deadline… but the Graphic Novel he got going to finish out the series is supposed to finally drop pretty soon. Was supposed to drop awhile back (Summer 2024?), but it does look mostly complete now judging from progress reports. Like, we’re waiting on them to finish the soundtrack for the graphic novel? Olan is doing something weird, but man I’m willing to give it a shot.

        I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.

        Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.

        Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.

    Perfect Hair Forever

    Frisky Dingo

    Xander: Renegade Angel

    Saul of the Molemen

    Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place

    Actually, I feel like all or most of the live action shows from AS are criminally underrated. Especially the really early ones. The most popular is probably Tim & Eric: Awesome Show Great Job.

      Well underrated is what I was looking for. Robot chicken and boondocks are extremely well known, same for American Dad and Aqua team
