Am I in the right thread?



ADULT SWIM COMEDY REPORT CARD -

Home Movies:

Episode 304 - "Improving Your Life Through Improv" (or "Sensitivity"): Retroscripting seems to be making a comeback. A great episode. Not as great as last week's, but still way up above season 2. And we now have a name for Ken's kid. And of course, the ending! LOL.

GRADE: A-

+ Walter and Perry at their best!
- The song seemed like extra padding for the episode.


The Oblongs:

Episode 226-004 - "Pickles' Little Amazons": Best episode yet! The opening had a lot of great gags. It kinda went downhill from there, but still maintained a good hold on the plot. I feel sorry for Pickles, but at least she didn't suffer Pristine's fate.

GRADE: A

+ Beth gets more attention than she normally does.
- Pickles line "No matter how gay it is!" really didn't need to be there.


Mission Hill:

Episode 3950-02 - "Great Sexpectations" or "Andy Joins the PTA": This episode was, well, I don't know what to say. Great fun for fans of online games. Poor Andy and Kevin.

GRADE: B+

+ Kevin's game, and George's computer issues.
- Jim goes underused.


Nikki and Peg

Episode 3: Is this a serial or something? Anyway, why'd they wait so long to air more episodes? It's better than the babies shorts though.

GRADE: C+

+ I like how the thumbs were always present off the sides.
- Needs more background.


Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law

Episode 2202 - "Death By Chocolate" (or "Unabooboo"): Twas an ok episode. Better than the previous week. Already did the good thing bad thing.

GRADE: A+


Sealab 2021

Episode 2108 - "All That Jazz" (or "Jazz Cola"): 2nd favorite Sealab episode ever! The ending was pure gold.

GRADE: A+

+ Ben the scorpion vs. the Toaster robot.
- They could've detailed the new backgrounds more.


ATHF

Episode 2101 - "Space Conflict From Beyond Pluto": CN Programming must really like this episode. But then again, so do I. The room ver ve melt people. Already did the good-bad.

GRADE: A


The Brak Show

Episode 2202 - "Bully": One of the better Brak episodes. Not to mention it has its own level in Headkicker 2: The Final Kick!!

GRADE: B

+ Oh my God! Actual tertiary characters!!
- Brak's lines are boring and predictible.


Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Episode 33 - "Woody Allen's Fall Project": IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE THIS EPISODE AIRED!!! OMG!! I MISSED IT SO MUCH! Anyway, great great episode. James Kirkonnel seemed like he was desperately not trying to laugh. Andy Merrill and Gus Jordan imitating the animations was great, not to mention the bad lip synching!

GRADE: A+

+ Live action Space Ghost and Moltar.
- Could've chosen better episodes to re-enact.


Hanna-Barbera Babies

Episode 2: Again?! Agh.

GRADE: D

[noclist]

Home Movies

Not a bad episode. I think the other season 3 eps were better (especially the first one and last weeks) but this had its moments. The sensitivity play was pretty funny when they played the freeze game and the video at the end with baby Brendan was great too. A lot of the stuff was kind of rushed though and they didn't stick to the story lines they started. Why did Junior just spontaneously invite Brendan over to dinner? Pretty solid ep with just some minor details getting in the way of a better grade.

B

The Oblongs

This one was pretty funny. I hadn't really liked the show that much but this one made me laugh a few times. I'm going to give it the same as Home Movies tonight.

B

[KingKoopa]

Home Movies - HM Season 3 rocks so far, and this is no exception. While it's not up to last weeks, it's still a great episode. The best parts were the ending and the impressions. A.

Oblongs - After two tolerable episodes, we get this crap? I don't know what I should expect from this series, but I've said it every week, this crap makes me miss Baby Blues. F.

Mission Hill - I already reviewed it, I love the beginning alittle more than the end of the series. Another A.

[Artemis]

Home Movies - Still on par with the rest of Season 3's episodes. Loved the impressions and the whole "FREEZE" game. A

The Oblongs - Hell hath frozen for I actually laughed at this episode. Plenty of funny gags, though I'm going to call this episode an exception because I doubt it'll becom the norm with the rest of the episodes. B

[spectre316]

HM - "Improving Your Life Through Improv. [Sensitivity]"

The third season of Home Movies has really been on target, I must say. We've had the absolute classic "Shore Leave," the very funny "Bad Influences," and now this great episode. I think watching this episode beside 201 - "Politics" really reveals how fluid HM has become in both animation, comic timing, and lines.

I could really relate to the assembly. I've seen those kind of things numerous times, and have also taken part in them. The way Brendon feels at the event would be my thoughts exactly.

The whole sequence where Brendon watches his uncut footage and writes down various notes was both completely on time and funny. Jason kept getting madder and madder... nothing could be more funny. Each time Brendon would ask for more anger, we could see Jason quickly look confused.

I must say, this episode is better than last weeks. It's not better than the now classic "Shore Leave," but great nonetheless. A

[JTurner954]

Home Movies: Funny as usual. Never seemed dull, always kept my attention, and McGurk is still funny. Why isn't this on DVD?? When Big O 2 arrives, I will change my signature to "Bring Home Movies to DVD". Overall grade: B+

The Oblongs: I do not find a show filled with hate and violence funny. I had more "heh" reactions than usual so I'll call this the best episode so far. Good to see less violence; too bad about all the hate stuff. Overall grade: F

Finally saw the ad for the new ASA show. Looks similar to Tenchi Muyo (which I liked) so I am definitely looking forward to it.

[JoelFirestorm]

Home Movies - Everything was great, except the improv song thing with the chick. That kind of drug it down. Consistently the best show currently on television.

Grade: A

The Oblongs - How many horrible reviews do people have to give before they take this CRAP off the air? My lord. Gross out cartoons are the worst product that civilization has yet to produce. Give Will Ferrell a live action show and burn the tapes of this one.

Grade: F

Mission Hill - I remember the first time this one aired, but I wasn't really paying attention and/or I didn't want to give it a chance then. I sat through it this time, and it was pretty good by Mission Hill standards. It's still leaning towards 'gross-out' cartoonism [i.e. the lipstick on the chicken], and the animation is a bit rough. I'm not a big fan of Gen Xer cartoons.

Grade: C+

-->11:30pm: Watch 'Trigger Happy TV' on Comedy Central!!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: This episode gets better with every viewing. The first time I saw it was worst, because it was the first new one in a while, and the expectations were so high. "What's the friggin' point?" - "So you can give me money."

Grade: A-

The Brak Show: I haven't seen this one yet. Hee. This show gets better with every viewing, although the one where Brak goes on tour as a R&B singer with that brain thing from his throat as his manager was the best. This episode was real good, thou.

Grade: B+

Space Ghost, Coast to Coast: Better than watching the Busta Ryhmes episode for the 100th time, I guess. It's just kind of background noise these days.

Grade: C+

[KingKoopa]

SCG2C: Hated it. This episode, while not as bad as any given episode of Oblongs or PC, was extremely boring and just had you wondering WHY. Overall grade: C-.

[Behonkiss]

HM: Better than last week's OK episode, definitely. The "pee" ending was funny, as was freeze tag and the movie. B.

Oblongs: I'm one of the few fans, and I'm glad people liked this. Definitely the best one yet! A!

Mission Hill: A surprisingly mediocre episode for such a great show. Dunno why, it just is. C.

*Took a break*

ATHF: Funny to me, hated by others. Meh, whatever. B+.

Brak: See above. One of the better ones. B.

SGC2C: Pure weirdness, and very funny in an odd way. I definitely enjoyed it. A-!

[skite]

good home movies so far and hooray sick eddy is cured :D :D :D

[czyznyck99]

Home Movies - Oh, how I HATED those assemblies during school. This episode was so funny, funny. I busted a gut at the ending. OH, man. Hey, that's really the only way to learn sensitivity :D. Another A.

Later.

[FredNash]

Home Movies - didnt watch it, saving for later in the week when nothing good is on

Oblongs - same

Mission Hill - this was the first episode of this show i ever saw, it made me go out and find evey episode i could. within a week, i had seen every episode except for hot for weirdie. i think it was the virtual valkyrie, and the parent-teacher meeting

Nikki and Peg - i remember this from a long time ago, something about her boyfriend...? funny, better than cpt. linger.

Birdman - funny episode (arent they all?). alot of weirdness, but that's good right? i never saw the crying game, so can someone who has tell me if the end was a pardoy of it?

Sealab - bebop cola...
"Mmm, Mango Reinhardt! The thinking man's cola!"
"What're ya maikin' a necklace!?!"
"MC Chris!! Take a look at these! They're jigglin' baby!"
"I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt to finance my vette."

ATHF - at first, this episode wasn't that funny to me, but after watching it several times i like it alot.
"SHUT UP! I have an amazing plan to betray our new friend! AHA HAHAHAHA!"
"I thought the plan was to barbecue with him."
"Plans are for fools! When he gets here we melt him and laugh! On into the night! O Hahahaha!"
and of course: "one man's waste is another man's... soap. Know what I mean guys?"

Brak Show - brak is great
"Who is the dapper gentleman with eyes of green and permenant teeth?
Everyone knows he's not a jerk, your new buddy braaak!
He'll make your bed, shine all your shoes! Play him at chess, you'll never lose!
Brak doesn't know how to play chess! But he knows how to play dead!
Oh! When he plays dead, the people think that he's really dead cuz he's really good!
Oh won't they be so very suprised when they find out that Brak is alive!!"
i love that song ^^

SGC2C - very weird. i've never seen this episode before, but i liked it alot. i love the idea of a "Space Ghost Expert" narrating re-enactments of "historic" episodes of space ghost and looking like he should be on pbs or something. plus it was really funny to watch the actors pretend like they were bobcat and weird al.
"At this point in the episode entitled "Banjo" explosions rock the set! Causing our great host to plummet from the sky! Falling on his super-heroic behind. We pick up the episode in time for space ghost's closing soliloquy"
"Banjoooo!!!"

Galaxy Trio Babies - umm, strange. not sure how they got permission to do these babies things, but i bet it involved hallucinogenics.

Popeye show - is this show even adult swim?

Marvel at my ability to type up my review despite pre-college jitters! Crap! Your ass is an oyster! I read too much Happy Noodle Boy!

*koff*

Hello, I took my wakeup pills this morning for the first time in two months.

HM: A solid episode. We've all sat through assemblies like that one, though I don't remember anyone singing about their ass. *shrug* Hilarous ending, I just wish my sister hadn't gotten sick from eating too many blackberries, she would have loved it. I had to leave for a moment right as McGuirk was going to do his impression, hope I didn't miss a good joke right there..

TO: Definitely one of the better episodes. I was really glad to finally see Beth be INVOLVED, because she's just adorable. And Milo in drag was so funny ^^ Another shot at the girl scouts, but Home Movies did it better. Still, it was nice to see Pristine get hauled off by truckers. Whoo!

MH: I missed this the first time around. When did it air? I may have been in Rio celebrating the World Cup with thousands of drunken cariocas screaming "BRASIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL!!!!!", which was probably more fun. This episode had its moments, but Posey's veggie subplot.. did I miss something or did that never get resolved? As for Kevin's plot, I've been in similar situations.. anyone play Neopets? Anyone remember when NeoQuest first was released, and they could only put it up at certain times? And there was a race to beat it first because there was going to be a big prize? Yeah, I got caught up in that mess. It owned my life. But at least I didn't PAY for the game.

HB:AAL: err.. I missed most of this because I was taking a shower. And I'd never seen it before. Must've been during my Brazil trip as well. I only caught the ending, from where they find the defendant not guilty on. I am so confused. and lost. They better air it again soon.

S2021: I still love this one, because it was completely random. And the ending, well, how can you NOT love it? It's MC CHRIS for crying out loud.

ATHF: Well, the more I see this episode, the less I hate it. I never knew watermelons could catch fire.

Brak: Blah. I only liked this particular episode because Brak's mom kicked ass, literally. Oh, and the 'buuulllllllllging' thing at the end had me in giggles. Some words are just really funny.

SGC2C: I hadn't expected this one to be so good. But the perfect imitations of character movement were HILAROUS. Even with the SG closeups. It just looks like a PBS special gone horribly wrong. Kinda like the 'Biography' sketches on SNL, but trying more to be serious about it. Excellent oldie.

That's it, right? I can't remember.

[Nitrowax]

Oblaongs- D this show is to disfiguared

Home Movies-Funny stuff. Every episode of this show is so good. Walter and Perry were hilarious. A

[RADSPS20028488]

Like I said in my last reply I didn't review all of the shows.

from 9 to 11- Jhon Carpenters THE THING on Sci fi which was perfect

11 to 11:30- South Park

at 11:30 to 11:45 harvey birdman- Favorite ep

Sealab 2021-

aqua teen hunger force- Lovin every second of it

The Brak Show- Always those 3 words B d what letter goes in the middle now

SGC2C- not bad

[J.C.]

Home Movies: Not as good as the other episodes from the season so far, but still a fairly solid episode from a great series. My only regret is not being able to set up my tape fast enough to record it.

Grade - B+

The Oblongs: Yep, I'm one of the few here that actually enjoy this series. Didn't make me laugh as much as last weeks episode, but it had some great moments after a slow start.

Grade - B+

Mission Hill: Missed it due to watching South Park.

Nikki and Peg: Ditto.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law: This wasn't a really good episode in general, but had me rolling with the spoof of the Elian Gonzalez picture that had Ranger Smith holding a gun on Yogi and BooBoo.

Grade B-

Sealab 2021: One of my favorite episodes. Had a lot of funny lines/moments and a great ending.

Grade A

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Great episode, but I don't like it as much as some others here seem to. Still, gotta love the "Plans are for fools" exchange. :D

Grade A-

The Brak Show: Decent episode, but my second least favorite of the shows from last night.

Grade C+

Space Ghost Coast to Coast: Was a little disapointed that this was shown last night since I've seen it so many times already. The scene reinacted from "The Hunger" makes me wish I could find my old tape which has that episode on it.

Grade B

Hanna-Barbera Babies: Didn't even bother watching it since I'd seen it before.

Grade F

[Shnay]

Home Movies, "Sensitivity": Due to circumstances beyond my control, I've only seen two of the four Home Movies episodes from season three, so it's hard to develop an opinion about this new season. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to, anyway ;) . From the commercials I saw of the last episode, it seemed that Brendon and Jason suddenly got very fat, and then returned to normal by the end of the episode. While I'm sure that would make for a pretty funny episode, it seems to sacrifice some of the reality of the show. Again, I haven't seen that episode, so I can't say for sure, but I think I prefer episodes like this latest one that stick more to the original feel of the show. That said, I'll begin the episode review.

Overall, I thought this was a very good episode, however, while it was certainly solid, I don't think it had enough good moments to really be great. The good moments it did have, though, were very good. The assembly group, the improv game, Jason being told to "go bigger," McGuirk's impressions, (just to name a few) were all very good scenes. One of the things I really enjoyed was the simple relationship dynamics we saw between Brendon, Paula, and Josie. In scenes reminiscent of season one, we saw Brendon try to dodge getting in trouble, Paula playing the combined role of the loving mother and the distressed woman ("Oh, sh--"), and Josie being herself, and adding to the scene by simple actions such as sneezing or eating spilled Swedish cereal.

Another aspect I liked was the fact that the supporting characters seemed to stay in a supporting role (imagine that). McGuirk didn't receive all the focus, yet was still used enough to deliver some great comedic moments ("This isn't the bathroom."). Walter and Perry were used quite a lot, but not so much that they became tiresome (well, they're supposed to be tiresome, but they weren't used so much that I got bored with the joke). Junior was also used just the right amount, and he and his father stayed entertaining throughout the episode (though I hope they don't keep bringing them back, as they did in season two).

I do have some gripes about this episode. First, although this is more of a personal opinion about the show than a criticism of the episode, I just don't like the editing machine. True, it brought about one of the episode's funniest moments, but I just enjoyed the movies more in season one when they had even more of an amatuerish feel to them. That feeling is still there, and the movies are still great, but I liked them better before there was any professional editing machine involved. It certainly could be argued that since Brendon is obviously very serious about making movies, getting an editing machine for his birthday, or something, would just be a natural step for him. And perhaps that's true, and I'm just being stubborn. I don't know, an editing machine for his films just doesn't...feel right to me.

As for criticisms of this specific epsiode, I felt that the ending, while funny, was way too abrupt. It ended the episode on a rushed and unfinished sort of note. I think the episode would have improved a lot if they had even just a little more closure for the episode. I think the "pee movie" was a good idea, but it shouldn't have ended the episode. I thought Jason and Melissa were under-used. An easy way to fix this would have been to have a scene in which they were shooting the bank robbers movie. I definitely would have liked to see more of them. I also agree with livingfruitvirus, who said that the girl's song was just sort of padding. They could have cut that song in half and it would have been much better.

So, for this episode, the good moments far outweigh the few gripes I have. A very good episode, but I think it had the potential to be a lot better.

The Oblongs, "Pickles' Li'l Amazons": Again, we see more of the same. I always get a few laughs out of the show, but it's never anything too hilarious. There were some good moments, but nothing especially memorable. Although, I did really like the line "The old lady's white, and she's got a Bible, so we better do what she says." So, overall...eh. It's watchable, but I wouldn't mind seeing it replaced.

Mission Hill, "Andy Joins the PTA": This is definitely one of the better Mission Hill's, as it has some really great interactions between the characters and an ending that's somewhere between really great and really corny. Andy and Kevin play off of each other really well here, and provide some great comedy (like the first scene where Kevin offers to put the receipt in Andy's room). Jim and Posey also add some great comedic moments in scenes that show the kind of people they are. Posey's line about charity vs. profit sets up the later development that shows her conflicted between being a peaceful, kindred spirit and a woman with an evil streak.

This episode also had some really great scenes, such as when Kevin's friend confronts him about selling him into slavery (heh), Andy drinking with Kevin's teacher, and Andy finding Kevin a "date" ("What I gotta do?"). Good stuff. I can't really think of any complaints about this episode. It was all tied together very nicely, the characters were all in great form, and the comedy was sharp and consistent.

Nikki and Peg: The thing about this is that the joke of "she has a great personality" has been done plenty of times. Sure, placing things in the "Barbie" universe adds an interesting angle, but it's just not enough to carry the short. It was an okay filler to kill a minute or so, it just wasn't all that entertaining. Though, I'd certainly rather have mediocre new fillers than watch the old fillers over and over again.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, "Unabooboo": I've said before that I really don't like Harvey Bridman as much as other people seem to, but I thought this episode was pretty good. It's definitely better than those John K. Yogi Bear shorts. The opening and the scene with Harvey and the typewriter stand out in my mind as being the highlights of the episode. This was better "than the av-er-age" episode. :rolleyes:

Selab 2021, "All That Jazz": Classic Sealab. I've probably reviewed this episode at least four times over by now, so I'm really running out of things to say. The episode had some hysterical moments with Captain Murphy, great drawings of the crew as roadies for MC Chris, and something different for the ending. There could have been some more material thrown in, but I'm not complaining. Great episode, and I'm sure we'll see it four more times this year.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "Space Conflict From Beyond Pluto": I said before that this is the one ATHF episode that I don't like. While it's still my least favorite episode, seeing it again has allowed it to grow on me a bit. Even being the worst of the ATHF episodes (in my opinion) it still has some really funny moments, and it's definitely better than 90% of what's on TV. However by "ATHF standards," it just seems mediocre to me.

The Brak Show, "Bully": I remember the first time I saw this episode: it had been a really long time since there were any new episodes, and it was before the show began it's downfall. I was really excited about it, and then, after watching it, I remember thinking, "Wow. That was...really bad." For me, this is where the show started to go from "stupid, but funny" to "stupid, but...really stupid." Oh, well...I'll always have the first few episodes.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast, "Woody Allen's Fall Project": This episode must be REALLY strange for someone who hasn't seen the early episodes they were reenacting. Anyway, this seems to be something for the fans. And it's certainly much appreciated. Most likely, people are either going to love or hate this episode. I'm in the former category. Those "who haven't changed the channel already" were treated to one of the most bizzare and most memorable SG episodes.

Wow, that was a long review...even for me. Sheesh. :D

[Tim Vee]

Home Movies- Another great episode. Hated Season 1, chuckled a bit at Season 2, but I've laughed out loud at every Season 3 episode. A

Oblongs- The first of the five episodes not aired on the WB. Laughed just as hard as I did on Home Movies. A-

Anyone notice both episodes had a one-liner about 200 hours of community service?

[Lord of the Vortex]

Home Movies- Great episode, I was waiting for something to be done with the Adellburg kid besides using him in random episodes doing parts like the mermaid queen, this episode was brilliant, all of season 3 was, now I just can't wait till the 6th of october to see more-9.7

Oblongs- last weeks was actually funny, this week's is tolorable at the most I'm just waiting for this show to be over, I'm sure there are better things they could put on at this time.- 7.0

Mission Hill- great episode, one of my favorites-9.1

Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law-Not my favorite episode, but there are worse-9.0

Sealab 2021- One of the worst Sealab's, but still very funny-8.8

Aqua Teen Hunger Force- Great episode, one of the best- 9.5

The Brak Show- I like this episode, epeaicially the Peunguintopia line, very funny- 9.4

Overall- 8.92...

[Auro]

Only saw half of ADC but that's okay... Let's start it off!

Home Movies - My god the sensitivity thing was funny! And Brandon getting in trouble for making fun of the italian kid XD; I also like the movie at the end :3 -B+

The Oblongs - My least favorite episode of the series so far! I really like the gross out immature humor which the rest of the populous seems to hate but this episode was lacking in it. It was still really funny though, Pickles and the Mace, and the whole "I don't want another one of these" XD! I liked the Helga on the subway too -B

Mission Hill - The first one I ever saw, made me fall in love with the series. I laughed so hard at the Virtual Viking because it reminded me and my friends on Warcraft 3 XD; If Virtual Viking ever came out for real I would buy it ;D I liked Andy's humanity in this episode, such a stereotypical 20-something guy. -A-

Harvey Birdman - Laughed my ass off! That's all I gotta say! -A+

[HomeMoviesFan]

OK, I'm a little late on ASC reviews because I have to start the stupid 11th grade (a.k.a. Sophmore [or however you spell it] year)! I'll write my reviews now...

Home Movies-- Funny! I like that I know weird talking kid's name (Junior) and the editing machine and McGuirk's impressions. But the assembly was right on. Throughout all my years of school, all those assemblies added, make that assembly. I remember the jokes in them being incredibly lame and people all over the room laughing at them and I acted just like Brendon. I love when McGurik says "FREEZE!" and the woman goes "Aren't you gonna unfreeze a person?" and then McGurik says something I just laughed out loud at, "No, I wanted this to stop. This is awful." I was thinking the same exact thing. And not to mention the pee home movie. (did anybody notice that this is one of the first times that they mention the show's title, "Home Movies"?)

Grade: A

The Oblongs-- Not as good as the other episodes. But, still, it was funny. I can't believe nobody mentioned when Bob thought he ran over Peggy in one of Pickles' scams. Milo as a tranvestite was a little too much. Helga at the subway was good.

Grade: B-

>>Anyone notice both episodes had a one-liner about 200 hours of community service?<<

Yes, but Pickles had 100 hours, not 200. But, anyways, it was funny.

HB: AAL-- Missed it, watched South Park, but I knew it was the Boo Boo one, and that one is not that funny.

Sealab-- Same as above, did not wanna watch All That Jazz again.

ATHF-- Didn't they just AIR this? The best part is Shake about to watch the "Horse's Anus" virta thing and his expressions afterward. Oh, and how can anyone not laugh at the Dr. Weird beginning. That was a very odd Dr. Weird thing. Steve should've fainted, it would've been much funnier.

Grade: B

Brak Show-- "Bully". Really, the best part is Brak's mom and Zorak on the phone. (heheh)

Grade: C

SGC2C-- I couldn't believe I saw this again. I saw this some 5-6 years ago. I only saw 2 of the episodes they reanacted, and the PBS special spoof was good right to the narrator repeating the saying to each reanactment, "that took place in a certian time and a certain place, somewhere deep in space"...and then that cheesy sound effect out of something like the Twilight Zone. A great episode.

Grade: A

Hanna Barbera Babies-- Crap. Total crap.

Grade: F

Nikki and Peg-- Stupid. Crap, like the above short. What happened to funny fillers like AS used to have?

Grade: Another F

Well, those are my reviews...for this week...

[SirLemming]

Space Ghost Coast to Coast:
My favorite thing about "Woody Allen's Fall Project" was Zorak's voice. What the heck?! I cracked up every time he spoke! It's just so bizarre, seeing the strange, expressionless, bloated costume ready to fall over, coupled with the completely un-Zorak-like, southern, quiet, subdued voice.

[Brak]

Hmm I guess i'll post my review.

Home Movies

A! This episode was pure, dynamite comedy. With those 2 kids I don't know their name, and Coach McGurk was cracking me up.

The Oblongs

I happen to love the Oblongs and this episode was the most funniest episode they've aired yet. Will Ferrel in this cartoon is a godsend.

A!

Mission Hill

This episode of Mission Hill is alright. They've had funnier but this episode is still funny. Especially that part, "Toby my BABY!" HAHAHA good stuff

B+

Harvey Birdman AAL

I love this episode of Harvey Birdman probably my favorite. This episode is just roll on the floor laughing funny. Especially at the end.

A++++++

Sealab 2021

I'm a huge Sealab fan (my name was going to be Captain Murphy but was taken, but whatever) And this episode is funny. "AND I SAY TO MYSELF I NEED EXACT CHANGE". This episode is great.

A

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

This episode is great as well. I have nothing to say about this episode except KICKASS

A

The Brak Show

I love the Brak show, but this episode wasn't really that funny. So I give it a

B

I don't watch Space Ghost Coast to Coast. So i'll just review that stupid Peg thing.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT PIECE OF CRAP!? IT WASN'T FUNNY IT JUST PLAIN SUCKED!

And sophmore is 10th grade; 11th is junior... something it's just not adding up :confused:

Something's wrong, Mr. HomeMoviesFan.

[JDuncan]

Maybe Homemoviesfan is a genious, and skipped two grades.

[Brandon_256]

That's what I meant! Oh well, I think it's just me. Or maybe me ruining his plan to fake a high schooler, or something. Maybe I'm ruining someone, so never mind. I'll just stick with M&M ;)

I just hope that it's not the same guy as HomeMoviesGuy or HomeMoviesDude, then I'd just be more of an ass to him other than the thing about mean ness about the petition thing.

Oh hell, I think I;m on M&M again :(
