Round 3 ends with GAF's Tim & Eric hate overtaking the contest again as Tom Goes to the Mayor runs away with it, getting 35 votes to Robot Chicken's 13. Boondocks got 5, and a handful of 3s and 1s.

Round 4 begins, choose your least favorite of these shows and I'll tally the votes in about 24 hours.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force
The Boondocks
The Brak Show
Childrens Hospital
Frisky Dingo
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Metalocalypse
Robot Chicken
Sealab 2021
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
Superjail!
The Venture Bros.
 

I'M FINISHED!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
The irrelevancy continues as "Reference Toys: The Show" survives past all Tim and Eric content. The failure is oozing down this threads pant leg.

Again, my vote goes to ROBOT FUCKING CHICKEN.

It's usually because they're laughing at you that you don't get it.

What is there to get? It parodies television shows and commercials and adds an absurd, unfunny, twist. I can appreciate the fact that they've pointed out how formulaic and cut from the same mold most everything on television is but that doesn't make it funny. It takes skill to set up a skit that parodies a sitcom or a commercial and having the timing down so perfect that when you expect the "joke" that's a funny take on something familiar you instead get a noise or note held for an absurd amount of time (one of their favorite "gags" as far as I can tell from my extremely limited exposure). In that way it's even an absurd parody of skit comedy shows... but once again... not funny.

Round 4:

Have to vote for Robot Chicken.

I'm honestly surprised it's lasted this long. The quality of the jokes are really hit and miss and sometimes the writing is worse than any Family Guy episode. Whereas the Tim and Eric content was experimentally bad at times, at least there were risks taken instead of it being bad because it was a good premise that was written poorly.

Frisky Dingo

Not like this vote matters because I assume Robot chicken is next, but I think Frisky Dingo is just mediocre, like most of the other stuff on that list. I chose it over the other bland shows because I don't like the name.

So much Tim and Eric hate. Why?
