Robot Chicken and Metalocalypse, and ATHF, but thats about it, everything else on there is garbage, except for a few old cartoons.

Honestly I think adult swim is starting to go down hill.
I liked adult swim when it was more anime oriented shows like when they had:
s-cry-ed,
neon genesis,
FLCL,
inyushsa,
full metal alchmist,
outlaw star,
trigun,
yu yu hakasho,
wolfs rain,
witch hunter robin,
big o,
eurka seven,
pilot canadiate,
now it seems to me all they ever show is robotchicken, family guy and king of the hill which i can not stand at all...
i mean aleast show the good comedy shows like the brack show, space ghost or mission hill

My top 5, from least to most favorite
5) Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It can be funny, but it also gets very, very weird. The one with the robot from "the future" is one of my favorite TV show episodes of all time, though.
4) Robot Chicken. Easily the funniest show, but it has moments where it just gets too disgusting for me.
3) Metalocalypse. Ah, the very definition of Refuge in Audacity. So mind-blowingly insane you can't help but love it. It's definitely on this list for its insane band members trying to get through their lives, causing chaos at every moment, sometimes inadvertently.
2) Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. Oh, God, what is not to love here? A hilarious parody to law-shows? Guest stars from all your favorite old cartoons? Stephen Colbert? Oh, those were the good old days. A shame it's over now.
1) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Please don't kill me. I mean, think about it, it's funny, it's got great and lovable characters, the pace is good, with occasional breathers to keep you from getting overly depressed, it's the perfect show!

Best of the best huh?
Venture Bros. Easily
2nd place is a tie between 1st season Boondocks, Frisky Dingo, and Tim and Eric Awesome Show.
I'm not counting anime, because throwing FLCL into the mix isn't fair to the adult swim originals

Robot Chicken, Venture Bros. and Home Movies are by far my favorites. The others have their moments, but the laugh-to-meh ratio just isn't anywhere near the same as those three.
Cowboy bebop, definitely. For original shows, then my vote goes to metalocalypse, especially the stellar first season.
I haven't watched it in a while but The Boondocks. The runner up would probably be Robot Chicken everything else I hate, especially that Tim and Eric crap. (Note: Anime isn't included)
Harvey Birdman.

For a little while I thought that maybe you need to be in the 4th grade to appreciate the humor. I used to like a stupid show called You Cant Do That on TV, so I tried to find some old episodes online and found that it is actually funnier.Hazy said:
I don't know if it's the fact that they try too hard, not enough, or if they're just lazy and try to confuse people into humor; at either rate, I think everyone (including me) is giving them too much credit. I think they're most likely just a couple of incredibly lucky idiots.
My absolute favorite would have to be Robot Chicken. It's absolutely hilarious every time.
I also enjoyed ATHF, Harvey Birdman, Metalocalypse, Frisky Dingo, the Futurama reruns (and the first 3 seasons of Family Guy), Space Ghost, and Sealab.
Not counting anime because they're not unique to Adult Swim, but I do like some of their anime choices.
I HATE Tim and Eric.
TBH, any time I've attempted to watch Venture Bros. I've never been able to understand what's going on because so much of the humor is situational. It's one ongoing story with many of the characters, so if I don't already know the characters and what they're like, I can't follow the story and it ruins the humor. Can't stand shows like that when you're trying to start from the middle. Same reason I never got into shows like Friends and The Office despite trying. You need to know more about the show's world than they tell you in each episode.
