God help me for saying this, but I discovered Regular Show on Netflix about a year ago and became immediately addicted. Netflix only had the first two seasons, so I’m stoked Hulu has them all.  
What else should I be watching? Any other gems in the Adult Swim universe?

MOAR Venture Brothers. It’s the best thing on TV, ever, IMHO.

Dethklok: Metalocalypse is pretty great, even if you’re not into Heavy Metal.

I’ll also watch Squibillies and Aqua Teen Hunger Force re-runs until the cows come home, but they’re both pretty absurd.

If you don’t find those to off-putting, try Perfect Hair Forever. It’s very absurd.

And if you like, umm, arty-ish animation and music, Off The Air is awesome.

Oh man, I forgot about Metalocalypse! That’s one of my most favorite cartoons ever.

NTSF:SD:SUV:: is a great sendup of CSI/24-type shows, and it’s especially funny if you’re from San Diego, since they go out of their way to be deliberately _wrong_ about how they portray San Diego.

Sealab 2021 is one of my favorite shows ever

Frisky Dingo was wildly underrated in its time

The first 2, maybe 3 seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force were funny, but then they got weird and I lost interest

Aqua Teen Hunger Force  
Harvey Birdman

And Venture Brothers.

Not to be “that guy”, but technically **Regular Show** isn’t an Adult Swim show. It’s just a regular (no pun intended) show on Cartoon Network. It airs before 8:00 PM EST which is when Adult Swim begins with reruns of **King of the Hill** , **Cleveland Show** , **Bob’s Burgers** , etc…

Some of my favorite Adult Swim shows are:  
**Mike Tyson Mysteries**  
**Aqua Teen Hunger Force**  
**The Venture Brothers**  
**Robot Chicken**  
**The Brak Show**  
**Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law**  
**Sealab 2021**  
**Space Ghost Coast To Coast**

Some great shows have been mentioned. A few not yet listed that may appeal:

[ul]  
[li]Lucy the Daughter of the Devil (some personnel in common with Home Movies, another great AS show)[/li][li]Xavier: Renegade Angel (another Truly Weird one)[/li][li]Tom Goes to the Mayor (Tim & Eric and great guest stars)[/li][li]12 oz. Mouse (very ‘cult’)[/li][li]Moral Orel (somewhat one-note, but often funny)[/li][/ul]

Are you getting Robot Chicken?

Came in here to mention this one! The DVD extras are worth tracking down too, especially Charles Offdensen getting drunk.

Venture Brothers is awesome!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force started out great, as did Harvey Birdman (I didn’t care too much for it when they introduced an actual plot). Squidbillies is worth watching too. Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost Coast to Coast are both classics.

And I miss Shin-Chan’s dancing!

Was **Home Movies** that “squiggly line” cartoon about the kid who wanted be be a film director? I LOVED that.

If you like Archer, Sealab and Frisky Dingo should appeal to you. Sealab and Harvey Birdman are my favorite originals by far, but I also love Moral Orel for how quickly everything goes wrong for that poor boy. Of the newer stuff, Black Dynamite. He’s dynamite. Not much more you have to know. I’m also fond if China, IL but it’s crazy stupid and just fantastic anyway. Everyone is a shitbag but that makes the show so endearing.

Venture Bros and Rick and Morty are okay too I guess. i probably understated them _just_ a bit.

That’s the one! (Although later episodes lost the neat “squiggly line” look.)

This looks like the thread to ask: There was a cartoon about superheros who were, well, not very hero like. I saw a few episode years ago. I don’t remember the name but I think it was on Adult Swim because I can’t think where else it could have aired. Does anyone remember this?

Frisky Dingo? Minoriteam? (Not on [as]) Drawn Together?
