While an accurate assessment that the [adult swim] "original comedies" have low production values and aim for cheap laughs, they're well liked, and [adult swim] can afford to make hoards of new episodes to keep people interested. As long as they do well, they will never go away.

Those shows are more a product of internet conditioning, if anything; I doubt that, had websites like SA, EBW or NG not existed, they would be popular at all.


Don't credit Ebaum's world with anything; all they do is steal content. Not a single thing on Ebaum's was created by anyone associated with the website.

[OT] Not only do they steal things, they slap their name on it and don't remove it from their site when asked to by the creator of the clip or whatever is on there.

Newgrounds has a flash clip about Ebaums that everyone should see.

I've heard people who talk crap about the original shows aired during [as] on the adult swim forum get banned permanently. My friend started a topic about how much Squidbillies suck and how everyone should stop watching it, and he told me he got banned. Yet they run that stupid story on their front page about [as] fans embracing saved by the bell, yet it's people talking crap about them airing it to begin with.

It's happened to me before, but on a different forum concerning a different program shown on different networks. It's why I quit posting on "official" forums to discuss matters regarding the program it essentially is there to promote.

It's fairly common practice to ban people for bad mouthing products on official message boards. In part it's because people like to complain [a lot] and they can very easily be flooded by crap. Of course, the other part is the whole not wanting to look bad thing.

As far as [as] in house animation... Aqua Teen Hunger Force makes more money and gets higher ratings than the anime. The sad fact of the matter is that they're far more popular. Wanting them to drop them in favor of anime is wanting them to drop more popular shows for less popular shows in order to lose money. Don't expect that any time soon.

I don't know what kind of joke as is playing but it is some kind of joke, they changed their bug to

[crappy 1980's live action tv show network]

So they do realize how stupid a move this is, but that never stopped them before, they played Boo Boo runs wild every night for weeks, someone must find this kind of stuff funny, probably the stoner crowd mentioned earlier.

Saved by the bell > dubbed anime

Not that I don't like dubbed anime, because some dubbs i actually prefer to the subs. I would just rather watch one of my favorite shows as a kid than a dubbed anime.

It's just meant as a joke anyway. But still it will probably be one of the highest rated segments for them.

I think it was a genius move. Heres to california dreams being next!

The A.C. stands for abnormally cruel!

And that's the reason why I leave my TV on G4 when I go to sleep at night. They show it 2 hours in the morning on TBS. I'm sure drunk college kids can get their fix there.
