I find myself with free time in the middle of the night now and then and flipping through channels, there isn't much to watch at 3:00 am. So I find myself watching Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network more often than not during that time.
Lately they've been trending towards this bizarre type of programming that I guess is supposed to be some form of comedy, though I'm not sure exactly what.
It is where they make everything shitty and bad on purpose and I guess that is supposed to be the joke. I think it started with the Tim and Eric show. For some reason some people find this show hilarious and people who don't, "Just don't get it."
Now I've watched the show a few times and for the most part think it's pretty bad, but they've actually done a few things that I've found entertaining that made me laugh.
For some reason, Adult Swim thought they needed more shows like this so they decided to make the Eric Andre show which is the same exact style of "comedy" for lack of a better term, but in the format of spoofing late night talk shows. This show is markedly worse in every aspect but I'm not sure if it is intentional or not. All I know is it has nothing going for it at all and is just plain awful.
Then when I thought it could not get any worse than the previous show, they come out with, "The heart, She holler" which has Patton Oswalt in it, who I think is a genuinely funny comedian. This show is so stupid and pointless that I lack the words to accurately describe in detail what a waste it is. It has no redeeming qualities at all.
They went out of their way to make it as over the top campy and bad as possible and that is the whole joke I guess. Anyone care to explain it to me, cause I don't get it at all. Actually the whole trend of making things look/sound bad with over the top bad acting = funny is something I don't get, but Adult Swim is eating that shit up with a spoon.
Am I just not high enough or something?
Anyway, what are some things you guys don't get?
