I watched the first episode and I just don't get it. I might give them all a go at some point. You're not the only fan on the board though.

Seriously? I absolutely love it. It helps if you love cheesy 80's TV and Horror films. I wished there was another series. My DVD is practically worn out.

I'm fairly open minded and if something is a little...odd then I can usually at least get my head round it even if I don't like it but this? I watched the first episode and I really didn't know what to make of it at all. I might need to watch all of them for it to make more sense to me though.

I'm not a big fan of horror films though for what it's worth.

You may not like the in-jokes and such then if you are not a horror film fan then.

I don't get this kind of humor at all, I personally think these kinda shows are ruining Adult Swim.

I do like this one show they have now though, Look Around You, originated from BBC so some of you have probably heard of it.

I absolutely love it. Personally it's my second favourite British comedy series (the top spot going to the mighty I'm Alan Partridge). It's just a shame it only lasted one series.

It's definitely British humour and as we know by these boards a lot of people don't get it. Never saw a single episode of Adult Swim but then I don't like much American humour ;)

Adult Swim is a TV channel I believe...

I haven't see this but I love Richard Ayoade in The IT crowd. I've also seen a few eps of Look around you and thought it was mildly amusing but not enough to watch the entire two seasons.

jackhammer 05-19-2009 09:08 AM

Richard Ayoade is purposefully awful in Darkplace but still hilarious. No small feat. That shows you how much I know about Adult Swim then :laughing:

adidasss 05-19-2009 05:38 PM

Just watched a few eps, it's not bad...:) It's actually a fairly similar spoof to Look around you so I don't quite get how Booby didn't like it...:\

Surell 05-19-2009 05:46 PM

I used to watch it every time it was on Adult Swim, it sho is funny.

Well I like Look Around You and a lot of the surreal and ironic humor that is considered a British trademark. I love me Monty Python.

I just don't understand the references in this show or what it's parodying. It must be a British thing.

Surell 05-19-2009 06:47 PM

Look Around You is just awkward. Funny, but god what is going on in that show.

boo boo 05-19-2009 06:52 PM

I like it, it's the same kind of surreal, awkward humor that guys like Mitch Hedberg and Demetri Martin use. And growing up on PBS as a kid I know exactly what it's parodying.

Surell 05-19-2009 07:07 PM

It definitely is funny, no doubt. I laughed my ass off at the math episode. Awkward humor is hilarious. I think Tim and Eric Awesome Show does the same kind of thing but more random than "strategic" (if that's the right word) awkward humor.

Great show. One Track Lover is the greatest music video of all time. The humor is great and the cheese is perfect.
