In one episode a penguin humps the dogs face, completely out of nowhere. I don’t see why this was put in…

It seemed to me that someone had given the writers some LSD and said they could stop taking it once they’d finished writing the script.

Even Chris Morris makes more sense!

“Forget it Jake (and/or Finn). It’s Chinatown.”

I think my favorite thing right now is the whole world being post apocalyptic. It beats out Fallout as the best nuclear wasteland to hang around in, I’d say.

Anyway, because of that lens through which I was viewing it, the episode City of Thieves was absolutely heartbreaking. It felt like “What the fuck kind of moral is this father trying to convey here? Is he trying to run a campaign that is his version of The Killing Joke?” I didn’t watch the show for a long time after that and it took me a while to stop thinking of Jake as secretly running the whole show, the whole thing not being a morality play for Finn, etc.

Are you aware of Regular Show however? It capture that same sort of anarchic throw-away story spirit but without any of that sweetness that can eventually be corrupted by a bad interpretation of an episode.

The gender one? Not great. But the second one, wherein Bender gains access to a duplicator machine, is quite good!

Seen some Adventure Time before, but binging now.

It’s still great. Also weird.

Also, yeah. Newest Futurama looks bad.

I was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to live up to the high bar set by the pilot, but such fears were delightfully unnecessary.

It is a fantastic show. And I want Cartoon Network to shut up and take my money.

I didn’t even think it was a pilot, just a single cartoon they made. It’s cool that there are others :D
