Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim is well known for two things; housing some of the best prematurely canceled animated series and having the craziest assortment of offbeat animated comedies around. Adult Swim had a slight following in the beginning, then busted out in a huge way; having a “golden age” with its solid variety of new and inventive series. This reviewer has written time and time again about the ‘hit or miss’ type series that have existed throughout the years on Adult Swim and though the Network was in a slump for a while with its disgustingly moronic series such as 12 ounce Mouse and Tom Goes to Mayor; it seems Adult Swim is on an up swing of good programming once again. With series such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse, and Frisky Dingo on the air there is once again an obvious movement toward having programs that balance the characters’ insanely hilarious nonsense with a level of intelligence that can’t be found anywhere else.



First up as we paddle through the waters of Adult Swim is Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 6. Over the past 7 years Aqua Teen Hunger Force has come to be known as the epitome of what Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim is all about. The perfect mix of insane and intelligent banter that is served up on Aqua Teen Hunger Force makes the creators and voice-actors of the series almost impenetrable to criticism. The series is smart, funny and well designed in almost every way. This newest season release of Aqua Teen in particular proves the mainstay capability of the series. As many of the episodes do not even feature the series three main characters (Frylock, Master Shake, and Meatwad) the creators prove that the series is not a one joke act; utilizing many other creative elements to hold the show together and to demonstrate that the world they have created always has something new to offer.



This season series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro introduce us to the Fast Food Trio’s landlord, Markula. It seems Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad had a bit of a disagreement with Markula over a quite sizable gas leak in the house (which Markula refused to fix) and so Markula trapped the trio in a cave in the Mohave Dessert with a piñata filled with killer military spiders. With the team trapped in the dessert Carl , being an opportunistic entrepreneur, decides to sell the house; but it seems his realtor skills are quite lacking. Markula intervenes, ruining Carl’s plan to rid himself neighborly chaos, by continuing to rent the house to the wackiest band of characters the world has ever seen. From annoying robots to sexy sirens (who bring along Philadelphia legend John Kruk), Markula houses them all.



More exciting than the nine episodes already aired on television in this set are the four never before seen episodes (Chick Magnet, Gene E, Shake Like Me, and She Creature) included here. The episodes are fueled by racial insensitivity, classic archetypes, and enough pure nonsense to make any Aqua Teen aficionado drool at the thought. In Shake Like Me Master Shake in an odd series of events gets turned into a “chocolate version” of his normally whiter than white, “vanilla” self. With enough racially charged language to make the most un-PC person blush, the episode is pure genius as it balances bigotry with societal anarchy. In Gene E the classic tale of Aladdin and his magic lamp gets twisted in a manner that only the boys of Aqua Teen could; with drunken genies and misguided wishes galore. All in all Aqua Teen Hunger Force is as great as ever and this season proves that the series is full steam ahead as it flings itself into the deep end of Adult Swim madness.

From water waves to sound waves Adult Swim has it all and the rocktastic animated series of Metalocalypse takes the late night favorite to a whole new wave length all together. It took some time for this reviewer to get used to the idea of Metalocalypse, but after seeing through the initial hardcore aura that the series projects it is quite entertaining. The series features a band named Dethklok that grew to such popularity in a financially and governmentally unstable world that all worldly decisions are based on the whim of the band who themselves are the world’s largest economy. The series for the most part features the band members sitting around and bickering over what they will and will not do that day and occasionally playing a show that leads to utter chaos and death (a lot of death). While the band wallows in a pool of self-indulgence the governments around the world try to seize the power that the heavy metal band holds on society; but always greatly falling short of their goal. In the end, the animated series is Spinal Tap for a darker, more hardcore generation. The seemingly brutal nature of the series is perfectly orchestrated so that each head-shot and gore filled frame never seems out of place. Each episode evolves with a fluid and crisp storyline that allows a unique but intelligent brand of banter to shine through; always being sure to stay on track, but ride the crazy train at the same time.


For a series that seems so wildly simple, it is much more. With a plethora of unique and creative characters topped off with some even cooler music the series was a hit from the very beginning. If at first you think the series is not your chalice of blood, keep drinking it up…it’ll grow on you.
