[ADULT SWIM] Mix Ups

[on:]

List two [adult swim] shows you'd think would be strange, funny, or both, and list em.  For example, Bender on ATHF.  Get my drift??

[Reply #1 on:]

Shouldn't this go in the TV part of the board? Ya know, since it doesn't have to do with only Futurama?

[Reply #2 on:]

It's been scientifically proven that crossovers suck.

Yeah this isn't Futurama really futurama I agree with Futurama Nerd! Whats ATHF? I know what Adult swim is due to my many visits to the USA and my love to moderatly Adult cartoons but what is that?

Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's a comedy about 3 human-sized fast food items who solve crimes, and foil supervillains.

Actually, they don't really do either of those.  They pretty much sit around their crappy house in South Jersey and weird shit happens to them.

Also, crossovers generally do suck, but I think I should remind you guys of Bender's appearance on The Simpsons a couple weeks ago.

And just so I can contribute, I think Zoidberg could bring a lot to Sealab 2021.  Too bad the writing styles of the shows are so utterly different; it'd never work.

Nay.  The actual Law of Crossovers reads: "Any two programs being crossed have a 50% greater chance of sucking than either one of the two alone."  There's a slim chance that a good writer with proper forethought can pull off a good crossover.  It's kind of like keeping plates spinning on sticks while you play the harmonica - mostly the harmonica playing will suffer, but some talented people can actually make it work.  I've seen it done once or twice.

Though Futurama/ATHF would be like juggling elephants and playing the violin at the same time....

How about Bender on Harvey Birdman?
Harvey defending Bender.

[Reply #10 on:]

They normally take innocent childhood characters and have Harvey defend them. Bender is too obvious for him to defend.

[Reply #11 on:]

I always mix up Aqua Teen Hunger Force with Sealab 2020. (Probably because ATHF has the word 'aqua' in it, and Sealab has to do with water.)
Anyone else have (or had) this problem?

[Reply #12 on:]

Aqua teen bender force!

I must break you in the most painful way possible.

[Adult Swim] crossovers?

Well, it would be pretty cool to see Spike from Cowboy Bebop try to catch Vash from Trigun.

[Reply #15 on:]

Oh boy, another cheesy cartoon crossover....

That said, when they start running American Dad, I'd like to see them do a special segment where Bender and Coach McGuirk walk on screen and beat the living shit out of all of that show's characters.

[Reply #16 on:]

When they're done, can they do the same to all of the Williams Street shows?

[Reply #17 on:]

Its certainly a possibility.
