What THE FUCK am I watching? I didn't think the Squidbillies show was going to be any good....but WHAT THE FUCK is this? Seriously. What the fuck. The way those super milk chan commercials seemed, I just naturally assumed that would be the most ridiculous thing on television tonight. I were wrong.
A question about Adult Swim....

Perfect hair forever was the worst thing I have ever seen... It made those flash movies with japanese songs and that guy from who's line is it anyways look like genius.
This interview thing looks better so far.
Is this stuff supposed to be squidbillies?
"When my dad got mad he beat me with a jar of turtle penises"

I guess I was expecting to see something totally different. I'm not sure what the crap they showed was, but it most certainly was not funny. These little inside-jokes they show to impress the few dozen people that work at Adult Swim just ain't cutting it...

I liked the second half... The worst part about it, suprisingly, was the one-note squid character. Meatwad, Space Ghost, and the Shark guy were pretty funny.
I actually laughed out loud when the dad from the Brak show fell down at the end.
Well... Supposedly Squidbillies is next.

Best half hour in adult swim history.

or not. And now we get a Aqua Teen repeat.
So they have been hyping Squidbillies for like 6 months, pretty heavy for the last few weeks... And then they instead produced that other crap? I wonder what really happened...

The bump said that it was not Squidbillies... It was something else instead in the place of Squidbillies.... Maybe it just wasn't ready by air time so they threw together the other stuff at the last second.

From the Adultswim.com message boards:
"Squidbillies: Biggest prank AS has ever pulled.
Appears they got bored with it early on, made those few image in the trailers, and then decided to quit and make it into a running joke for it to eventually "Premiere" and then show this instead.
BRILLIANT.
Plus we get a preview of the new Sealab character Sharko. (Which you see in the commercials for sealab that were on tonight too.) "

Yeah... The bumps pretty much said the same thing.

Ghost in the shell was pretty good... I wouldn't mind seeing another episode of that right now instead of Super Milk Chan.

I thought Ghost in the Shell was pretty poor. The dub was miserable and I didn't dig the artwork. Plus, although I wasn't entirely paying attention and that may be the problem, the story didn't seem to actually follow. Events didn't really lead to what happened next, and the action on screen didn't seem to match what was described later.
Super Milk Chan is pretty much what could have been expected from the commercials. Entirely fucked up.
With all the good anime series that could've been brought over, why am I presently forced to endure Super Milk Chan. Is this show supposed to be funny, or am I supposed to fake-laugh my way through poorly dubbed Japanese references I probably would not have found funny to begin with? I'm confused. Why I'm so upset...I...I'm going to change the channel!
Oh, this commercial reminds me. Tom Goes to Mayor looks like a fake show. So did Squidbillies, in retrospect. I don't think I believe that there will be a show that follows what we've seen in the commercials. Maybe I just don't trust those bastards down in Georgia anymore.

Those don't list David Cross, but I'm damn near postive he's contributed in some form, as has Jack Black, but I think they're just voices.
