    Both, but the comedy hasn't been very good as of late.

    Seeing that I only watch Home Movies and an episode of ATHF every now and then, I much prefer the anime.

    Anime. I don't like the humor on [AS] very much, except for Futurama and the Home Movies.

    I like a little of both, but I agree with Speedy Boris that the comedy segements have been pretty lame lately.

    My interests are weighed heavily more in comedy than in anime. The latest servings of anime (save for Paranoia Agent) haven't appealed to me at all. Comedy gives me some hope to look ahead to, but even my interest in that too is dwindling.

    Both are getting stale (anime staler than others), but the comedy has always been better for me.

    Currently, anime due to the Saturday night premieres. I've grown tired of Futurama, I never liked Family Guy, and the only new comedies in a while have been TGTTM and Robot Chicken. Aside from those and Space Ghost (And Birdman once it comes back this week), I don't watch Sunday at all.

    anime hasn't not been garbage in a long time so I can't say both are just fine so comedy gets my vote

    Both are great.

    On the Comedy Side: Tom Goes to the Mayor, Space Ghost, ATHF, Family Guy, Venture Bros., Sealab, Brak, Mission Hill.

    On the Anime Side: Cowboy Bebop, Lupin, Case Closed, FMA, GITS, Kikaider, Big O, Champloo, Paranoia Agent, Trigun.

    Both sides have had great shows, with very few shows I have disliked. Keep this up AS, I'm not a fan of what Cartoon Network has been doing on their side lately.

    The comedy is alright. I watch TGTTM, Robot Chicken (a little), ATHF, Birdman (can't wait for the return), Venture Bros, and a little Space Ghost. AD, FG, and Futurama are good too, but unless they are new, I don't bother that much.

    The anime side of things, totally different story. I've watched nearly all of the anime AS has put on, save for some of the early AS era stuff (I dodged a bullet by not ever seeing Pilot Candidate) that hasn't aired since then. I've enjoyed most of what they put on, so anime gets my vote.

    Well, one side can't exist without the other. It wouldn't be Adult Swim. And both sides are good. As of right now Saturday is looking better than Sunday, but overall they're about equal.

    I'm mostly for the comedy on AS, but that's mostly because I don't really like dubbed anime and I usually have watched the fansubs already.

    Futurama And FG have been played so much, I barely pay attention anymore. I enjoyed the home-grown stuff, but the pilots of the newer stuff have been piss-poor, so I'm not sure what the future holds for AS Comedy.

    As for AS anime, aside from a couple of shows that I don't care for, it's pretty good overall. I find myself watching AS more often on Saturday than Sunday.
    A smoothie would really hit the spot right now.

    I'd say both are great.
