Uh, those attractive ladies are comedians and most everyone involved is part of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe. Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, and a bunch of the Parks and Rec crew are part of it as well. If you watch a bunch of comedies you will see these people pop up over and over again.

Well, I think Parks and Recreation is pretty bad as well.

Its the type of humor that appeals to high college students. The superiority part happens whens its a pretentious college student.

And yes i hate Tim and Eric, all their shows. TGTM had a sort of story going but it was that same stupid absurd for the sake of being absurd then milked and strangled to death humor. I hate their shows because they took precious time slots away for better shows, like Sea Lab.

It doesnt matter anymore its gone now, its gone. We are safe again.

Congratulations, you made incredibly shitty assumptions and assertions.

I absolutely loathe Demetri Martin and his type of humor but I wouldn't say he's shitty, people don't know the difference between not liking something and something actually being bad.

Tim and Eric have a unique style, what they do is pretty singular. Little Dancing/Danson Man is probably my favorite thing on Adult Swim ever.

I honestly think people that say this type of thing watched it a few times, thought it overly awkward, and stopped watching. Saying the entire Awesome Show series is unfunny is such a haphazard thing to say.

Round 2 is over, a little closer than I thought it would be. Squidbillies loses with 40 votes, next closest was Tom Goes to the Mayor with 28.

Tom Goes To The Mayor

This show I never got. I know that your supposed to listen for the comedic parts and not watch for them, but I get tired of looking at blue people just standing and talking. The only movement they mostly had was just various poses, and the ever so often weird face. I never got through a full episode but when I usually saw it when I woke up I never cracked a smile. Most of the time I was scrambling for the remote because I didn't want to watch it.

So their's my explanation.

Of the remaining shows that I've actually watched, Robot Chicken. Why are people voting for Venture Bros or Frisky Dingo?

There will always be exceptions, but i'm confident in that particular assumption. Go back and look at the locations of their live tour dates during their AS runs. It's not even a stretch considering the general AS viewer base.

While you are calling people on shitty assumptions and assertions also include the "people just don't get it crowd."

I like T&E, but my vote is Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Mostly to piss off Robot Chicken haters, and I don't even like it.

People hated Squidbillies more than Tom Goes to the Mayor? Wow.... at least Squidbillies had a few funny lines.

After Robot Chicken (lot of hit and miss and it seems to be the next show to be voted off after TGttM) gets booted it's gonna be like picking from my children who gets to live and die. So many great shows, but only one is allowed to be raised into godhood.


Anyway, Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Terrible show that i was made to sit through for far too many episodes.

I'll be the first to admit that both of those shows aren't appealing to newcomers. Frisky Dingo has a few too many obscure running gags, and Venture Bros has a lot of recurring characters plus Doc Hammer and Christopher McCulloch's comedy style takes some getting used to.

Superjail. It just never hit for me. I'm not a big fan of some of the others either but this one sticks out to me the most.
