Pffft! Monty Python has been satiring religion for years... though more on the side of the followers and leaders than the religious figures.

These new crop of Jesus jokes are showing that more people can push the envelope. Every other Family Guy has a Jesus joke in it, for example. Maybe this could be in step with the large Christianity movement, maybe it's not, and it's just getting safer to do stuff like that.

BTW, I am not commenting on religion, myself. I'm on the subject of the new crop of Jesus jokes.

As for Adult swim... due to my lack of cable, I've only seen bits and pieces of this and that in hotel rooms and friend's houses. I never even saw ATHF until my cousin gave the 4th volume to me for X-mas last year. I still want to pick up Harvey Birdman. I wanna see the Flintstone thing.

Too bad Nickelodian never thought of something like this for Nicktoons. Rocko, Zim, and Ren and Stimpy coulda got new leases on life.

Harvey Birdman is awesome one of the best shows. The first season of Sea Lab is great too. And I like The Brak Show but I know altoa people don't.

You don't need cable tv to watch Adult Swim anymore. www.adultswimfix.com has episodes to watch, including the premires of new epsodes. Yes this is legal, Adult Swim is the one doing this. There will be new Brak Show episodes very soon, and they will be online exclusives, I think the same will be for new Perfect Hair Forever episodes.

By the way, Adult Swim's new show Frisky Dingo is awesome, IMO.

I err.... don't have my own computer. I sneak into the art school I graduated 2 years ago from and use their's. And the one I can use doesn't have sound and is in the library. I technically am not even supposed to be on Message boards

Too true. "Incredible Hippo" was everything that AS, barring ATHF, USED to be, a great episode that actually went the distance with what it was paying homage to, I have NEVER seen any other show parody the live action Hulk series as well as that episode did. (The whole confrontation between Peter and Sebben in the closet is from the conflict between Banner and Mcgee from Season three's "Equinox")

It's gotten so old, I think this will be the last season of ATHF. The whole dick thing was completely over the top, but in a way that it took away from the show itself. Yeah it kind of followed the same format ATHF has always had, but it was just so much worse for some reason.

The movie is coming out, so this is'nt the end at all.

I loved "Dickensode", probably because I knew what they were trying to do and they were succeding at it.

New episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force on their website. It was really funny, Meatwad has Frylock make him a dog, and the dog talks to Carl, but nobody else. Then some other stuff happens.... poor Carl.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 11-08-2006, 01:05 AM

Venture Brothers is probably my favorite thing on Adult Swim these days. The reference to the movie Contact was awesome, even better than when South Park has referenced that movie.

As far as the religious jokes go, I try not to get too bent out of shape about them. They could be worse. That's all I'm going to say about that.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-08-2006, 01:29 AM

As far as religious jokes go, I don't care. If it's funny, then ridicule the crap out of it. Doesn't effect me in the slightest. People need to wake up and laugh from time to time. Jesus and Santa Clause having it out isn't going to bring about "The End Times" or anything.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-08-2006, 12:39 PM

If that were the case than we'da been screwed about 10 years ago by "The Spirit of Christmas".

*R-iZZy* · 11-09-2006, 02:54 AM

I just want to say that Adult Swim, lately, has sucked. I've moved more of my attention to Nick at Nite. Adult Swim used to have a hot line-up. FullMetal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo and Aqua Teen Hunger Force every single night. Now, I just watch Family Guy and Futurama, then I'm done.

I mean, has anyone ever seen 12 Oz. Mouse? I tried to sit through an entire episode... that show is absolute garbage. Squidbillies... absolute garbage. Tom Goes to the Mayor or whatever that show is called... homo-humorous garbage! Seriously, it's like they throw up any idea they have when they're under shrooms and put the idea into production. I used to not be a fan of anime, but that seems to be Adult Swim's strongpoint now... and even the new anime shows that they lined up aren't interesting, imo. Kudos for bringing FullMetal back... but that's all they have (besides Futurama and Family Guy).

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 11-09-2006, 11:56 AM

Venture Bros. is hilarious, better than recent Family Guy IMO.

Metalocalypse is okay.

I don't even watch any of the anime.
