movies/tv Adult swim makes me uncomfortable

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

Alright, first off, I like Adult Swim...well some of the shows like Family guy, American Dad...and that's about it...oh and the Saturday night anime Toonami. But what makes me uncomfortable about Adult Swim you ask?? THEM COMMERCIALS!!! Yes, some of the shows on Adult Swim are weird too...like Squidbillies...Aqua Teen..Tim and Eric Awesome show, etc. But like, the commercials are so odd. Like last night it kept showing that damn commercial of them kids in clown make up that looks like its 70s quality, or them BADLY animated commercials..

 

So tell me, what commercial on there makes you question, feel uncomfortable, or basically change the channel xD ??

The only thing that made me uncomfortable on Adult Swim was, well a Robot Chicken episode where Pacman and Ms.Pacman were going around in a circle like in the video games. Then, out of  nowhere Pacman is humping her and she barfs.

I was like, O_O.

[RippedOffMattress 314]

I never usually feel uncomfortable with Adult Swim. I love surreal shit like Squilbillies, Tim and Eric, and Aqua Teen, which is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen! The bumpers are hilarious as well.

 

Although, I despise shows like Family Guy, American Dad and the Cleveland show. They are the shows that make AS uncomfortable for me.

 

I guess you and I are completely opposite on this. 

[Yes-Man 597]

Yeah, pretty much the reason I don't watch FG on Adult Swim. I watched an episode of Squidbillies and Robot Chicken, and both were equal-parts disturbing and funny.

The problem with adult swim is that they're trying too hard to appeal to the stoner crowd, the whole network has gone downhill, the only thing keeping it going to me has to be Metalocalypse, if it wasn't for the reruns of family guy and american dad I can't understand why anyone could possibly keep watching it. Also fuck American dad and Family guy...

 

Now they've gotten to insulting their viewers in their "bumps", they've given up...It's sad but kinda funny at the same time

Adult swim was good back in the days when it still had space ghost from coast to coast and some of the better anime.  They unfortunately sought the edge on a low budget and fell off it.

[Betez 1,734]

Yeah, I know. The commercials are SO out of place. Mostly I've just seen the ones with white text on a black background saying random weird things. What are the people at Adult Swim thinking? I really want to know.

@@Sugar Sprinkles,

shit I had no idea what adult swim was so I thought you literally ment that you felt uncomfortable swimming with adults. I was like.. "Why is this in movie discussion?! o__o"

 Boondocks is one of the most uncomfortable shows for me. I don't care for most of their other ones like Tim and Erik, Squidbillies ,those types though. The humor just seems really dumb. Whereas on the otherhand I do like Family guy and American Dad (depending on the episode. I liked when they had more anime on  

[ReGen 1,466]

Pretty much the only reason I even watch it is for King if the Hill, The Boondocks, Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I don't really care much for the other ones and the commercials are really just out of place.

I personally loved Adult Swim's Bumps from 2008-2010. They used a lot of my favorite music groups songs, usually WARP material. It was nostalgic and melancholic and went well with the evening mood.

 

I don't even know what they are like now.

[Rudolphin 76]

Probable the only show that is uncomfortable for me is Squidbillies, I just can't stand that show, every other show Brak show, Sealab, ATHF, all of these I can stand Squid though I guess I'm just not into that deep southern redneck style theme stuff. 

[Starflower 323]

I only watch Adult Swim for their good Anime shows and Family Guy. That's basically it. All the rest (well, with the exception of The Cleveland Show and American Dad) are pure crap and I'm just not a fan of it. I tried watching NTSF:SD:SVU but I didn't find it funny personally. Not my cup of tea.

How unfortunate, I absolutely love [adult swim]. I love Squidbillies, AQTHF, and all the like. I actually absolutely adore Tim and Eric Awesome Show!! I don't like Family Guy or Robot Chicken, it's low brow humor and it's so relentlessly mundane, it's so vanilla compared to the other wonderful shows.

 

I can't believe you don't like the commercials, they're so bizarre and great! Ah, I guess my humor is just weird.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I find nothing odd about Adult Swim or its commercials. I actually love them. I guess thats what happens when you stare at it EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. :|

 

But yea, I find nothing uncomfortable about any part of it. I usually laugh at them actually.

 

And all of the bumps make me giggle usually.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

I like Adult Swim..... anyone catch the Robot Chicken where they did the Apocalypse Ponies?..... Funneh as hell man.

 

The commercials seem fine, but then again, i usually just skip over them

Well Adult did have that intro with the old people swimming... Kind of a weird intro if you ask me

Still love that song though. I kind of miss that intro now.

That's the only one that really made sense, haha. It's because (in case anyone doesn't know) back in the olden days when people went to the public pools there would be a time when the life guard would declare "adult swim" which meant all of the kids had to get out of the pool and only the adults could swim for a period of time.

 

For the channel it's a reference to the fact that shows at that time are not intended for the daytime younger viewers.

 

I used to love adult swim. I do still watch some stuff on it like Robot Chicken, Family Guy, etc, but the bumps have certainly gotten stranger and stranger over time. I hate the talking orange, the weird clowns, and some of the others.

 Just in the olden days? Nah man, they still do that at the local pools where I am.

 

And the only time Adult Swim is uncomfortable for me, is when I'm watching with friends/family and NSFW starts flinging itself (metaphorically and literally) everywhere. Seriously, I hate when I'm watching a movie with my parents and "BOOTY bOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKING EVERYWHERE" is... everywhere.

Oh, I know (and knew at the time when it was still shown) but I still find it kind of strange. I mean it was a scene of a bunch of old people swimming; I would think "what in the world am I watching". But yeah I agree that it's really one of the only ones that made sense which is why I miss it a bit. The commercials now are just weird in a mindless way like a hippo laughing like Peter.

 

I don't really watch Adult Swim that much anymore; I just catch the occasional rerun of Family Guy or the Boondocks. That's pretty much it.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I know what your saying there Adult Swim does have some pretty awkward shows.... And I am not to big a fan of family guy or american dad for that matter I think they copied the simpsons way too much. But I remember AS used to show FLCL and Fullmetal Alchemist two animes that I adore. Now that Toonami has returned I think that is reason enough to watch it some times.

Ok enough is enough if you people can't see that this has far less to do with "stoners" and more to do with subliminal messaging then I will pray for you...I just watched one with Arabic dialog and a spinning circle of sand that was OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE ME AND THE WORLD for God knows what reason following that we had a deeply disturbing satanic voice talk about how he was going to rule me and burn my flesh I MEAN REALLY  and if these are just harmless commercials what product are they advertising??? No brand no words on the screen COMMERCIALS HAVE A POINT TO SELL THINGS....THESE HYPNOTIC BREAKS HAVE NO POINT EXCEPT TO MIND FUCK YOU!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

I used to stay up late during adult swim as a kid, because for obvious reason, anime.
