The Mario Kart reference + Batman killed me.
Not to mention Burt Reynolds. The race segment was fantastic. It had everything you could possibly want.ManaByte said:
Still, the best part of this episode was Santa calling out "Bring out yer dead!" :lol
Those quick little things between big segments are what really make the show great.

Has anyone else realized that it's perhaps the best animated show on AS?

I think I'm too old to "get" the appeal of Adult Swim, but I'm not even that old yet.
It just strikes me as poorly animated fodder for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation.
I finally caught Robot Chicken and was terribly disappointed. It's a less funny version of Twisted Toyfare Theater, which I highly suggest you at least flip through if you enjoy Robot Chicken.
The lack of Futurama love does cause me great pain though. Oh, for shame.
On the upside, it may be for the best that the series ended so that it didn't have to fizzle out, or outlive it's welcome on television.

Do they do the Dawn of the Dead mall theme at the end of every episode?

Agreed, but I don't count it. I mean original AS shows.

I thought that's what you meant but it wasn't worded that way. That being said I've laughed more when I've caught Harvey Birdman or Sealab. I do like Robot Chicken. It uses the throw everything at the wall and see what sticks kind of comedy so it's a little uneven but when it hits it's golden. It should be fresh for awile too with it's ability to spoof anything and not have to be tied down to ongoing characters as well as having only 10 minutes.

Actually, I take back when I said, since I forot about Ventrue Brothers.
But yeah, I'm generally not a fan of the throw everything at the wall comedy either, or the over-use of pop cultural references, but in this instance, it works, and they do it pretty damn well. Again, it helps if you grew up with the toy so you can related, but little things like the Noah's Ark skit shows they can make anything funny.

When I read this it reminded me how much I marked out when I saw Matt Trakker and the M.A.S.K. reference during the race. Like I said when it hits it's golden.

I have to wonder if most people who watch the show, and AS, even got that as. I sure as hell did!

Well, considering Robot Chicken *is* pretty much Twisted Toyfare Theatre (same guys and all)....

Why the hell would there only be two merpeople in the world? Did God smite everything down to pairs or something?
