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.

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?

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...

Seriously, what the fuck. If I didn't have the confirmation that you people had been watching it, I'd swear I just went insane.

And here's another Super Milk Chan commercial.

Maybe I have lost 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.

That was Squidbillies.

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.

They did? Ah, I don't pay attention when the bumps air. :D

I don't see why it wouldn't be ready to air though. From the looks of the previews it seemed like something they could throw together in 4 hours and then get lunch. Cold feet maybe?

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.) "

Thank you for canning Squidbillies, AS. I'm so glad I didn't have to see that shit.

EDIT: Super Milk Chan is the worst thing ever. Give me Squidbillies.

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.

Actually, I think Tom Goes to the Mayor is real... and it looks like it's mostly Dr. Katz/Home Movies banter, so I should get a kick out of it.

Animutations! I didn't notice that somebody said this.

Those are the reasons why some kids shouldn't get Flash.

David Cross? Bob Odenkirk? New Mr. Show?!?

YES! Sharko is staying. Sharko was the only good thing to come out of that clusterfuck.

Makes sense. I was going to point out that Sharko has Marco's hair on his head.
