What about Venture Bros. is so funny? I don't get it at all.
It's a stupid kind of comedy. Watch the original ones and you'll see what I mean.

It's not really "laugh-out-loud", hysterically funny, but it's more intellectually funny. It's just such a clever and well-written satire of Johnny Quest, pulp adventure type stuff. And you really need to pay attention and listen to the dialogue to really appreciate it.

The Venture Brothers. Nothing else is even close. Well, I'd list Trigun or Cowboy Bebop, but they don't count because CN doesn't run them often enough.

Shows that premiere on AS? Venture Brothers, unquestionably.

Shows that appear on AS? Tie between VB and Home Movies. Both shows are absolutely genius.

Honorable mentions to many others, but none come close to topping these two.
Absolutely right. Those two are in the top tier of animated shows. Brilliant writing and great characters. I have to give honorable mentions to Harvey Birdman, Frisky Dingo, Sealab, and Metalocalypse. Futurama would top them all (except for maybe Venture Brothers), but they lost that show a long while ago.

I will add my voice to those upset over the lack of Venture Bros.


However my 'other' vote goes to the Techno Dancing Aquaman promos they used to do when AS first came on.

Yeah, I'd have to say Sealab.

I would say Futurama but that's not really an Adult Swim exclusive.

"Bleh, that's the saltiest thing I've ever eaten! And I once ate a whole bowl of salt!"

God, I loved Futurama.

[Adult Swim] isn't shown here anymore, damn Bravo and Cartoon Network, too scared to put good programming on.

I miss Metalocalypse so much, if they let me use their site or even release a DVD that works in non-US dvd players then I'd stop plotting their painful demise.
I believe they have. I watched it about two weeks ago.

I'm shocked there isn't more of a nod to Venture Brothers on here. I would argue that it's the best show on television. Its humor is a little more high-brow than the rest of the AS fare. With the Escapist being filled with slightly more high-browed people, I expected more people on here would watch it.
