Adult Swim Thoughts
Nov. 17th, 2014 03:06 amMr. Pickles:
I have never seen Mr. Pickles but just based on the commercials it sounds like the most inane, obvious show ever. It makes Robot Chicken seem subtle. Stuff like Mr. Pickles is why nobody actually takes Williams Street seriously as an animation studio. They need to get some new ideas. And Mr. Pickles isn't it.
Too Many Cooks:
This was funny. Once. It is ALSO 11 minutes long so it does NOT hold up to repeat viewings the way D*ck in a Box or Lazy Sunday do. It is NOT the kind of thing a network should be playing 5 times a week (10 counting replays). It gets less and less funny every time it airs. And the song sucks so you can't even enjoy that. This is pretty much Adult Swim's most questionable decision since it's infamous run of the very worst of Saved By The Bell.
