what were they fucking thinking?
>>12294592Sure has a lot to do with vintage games
>>12294598>ps2
>>12294592The golf parts were surprisingly excellent. The combat was atrocious. The racing was a total abomination.
>>12294598Not OP but picrel
>>12294661Yeah the gameplay was 80% trash but the unlockable episodes were neat if you didn't have any DVDs or adult swim
>>12294691why aqua teen when they couldve done something like venture bros?
>>12294716Aqua Teen is the bigger brand. If you're making licensed shovelware, brand recognition is everything.
>>12294598
>>12294736But why did they make a Harvey Birdman game? >>12294716I'm glad they didn't. It would've sucked and you know it.
>>12294716Venture bros was much less popular and the people who did watch it had actual standards and wouldn't play some cheaply thrown together shovelware.
>>12294769Because of Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney.
>>12294592Money
>>12294771then dont make it shovelware
>>12294798Not enough of an audience to make a profit off something that costs actual money to make.
>>12294592>How much more based can we get?>Watch this drive.
>>12294592Ninja Golf, but with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
>>12294598it's gonna be 20 years old next year, old man.
>>12294598Hey zoomie
What, were they fucking thinking?
What were they, fucking thinking?
>>12294691I honestly miss that period in the mid to late 2000s where you had neat gritty photographs like this be the boxart for your game, nowadays they'd do it all in CG and it looks too clean and fake, or have some worse ass filter that makes it look that way.
>>12294771>Venture bros was much less popularIt was still really popular, but it was also much more expensive to make, which is the real reason they had to sorta semi-cancel it after season 7. Head of Adult Swim hated doing it, but the parent company had lost a ton of money (some of the losses due to covid, some I suspect due to financial retardation) handed AS like $200 and said "here's your budget, bro, hope you didn't want to make anything but cheap live-action"
>>12294716Brock would make a great protagonist for a hack n slash/beat em up. Would be totally accurate to the show to have him fight against trillions of enemies and win.
>>12294592I love ATHF and people online say they love it, but I have never in my life met another person who watched it. No one has any idea what I'm talking about, ever. 20 years of referencing it, not one has any memory of this show. I owned all the seasons on DVD until they got stolen from my apartment by a swarthy lad.
>>12296295>have never in my life met another person who watched itYeah it's really weird. I had many druggie friends and even they never watched Aqua Teen.
>>12296305Let's hang out
>>12296295I've met plenty of people who love ATHF, have even seen people with ATHF shirts in public. That (and maybe Robot Chicken) was Adult Swim's cash cow before Rick & Morty and now Smiling Friends. Now, stuff like Sealab 2021, Stroker & Hoop, Frisky Dingo, Drinky Crow Show, Tom Goes to the Mayor, 12oz Mouse, Lucy Daughter of the Devil, Perfect Hair Forever... I've never personally met any fellow fans of those.
>>12296381I'm a fan of all those but>12oz Mouse, Lucy Daughter of the Devil, Perfect Hair Forever.>Drinky Crow Shownope
>>12296381>Stroker & HoopBest sack in the cul de sac. That's a joke I'll never forget.
>>12296409they disappointed me in not delivering from the cliffhanger
>>12294691>MidwayThat alone makes this retro. I miss those little niggas like you wouldn't believe.
What? They were fucking thinking?
>>12296381Hi, I'm the mayor and my door is always open for YOOOUUUUUUUUU
what were they fucking thinking,
>>12296397>12oz MouseCriminally underrated, like a Saturday morning cartoon written by a drunken David Lynch and illustrated by a kid with a box of crayons and some old illustration cutouts. Never seen another show use a comedic pause more effectively. Or often, for that matter.
My favorite memory with this game was when I walked in a straight line during the Tar pit level and fell through the map. Quality game.
You guys remember the flash games Adult Swim had on their website?
>>12296381Sealab 2021 was great, I would watch it with some friends during sleep overs.
>>12296381>Frisky DingoI once played Sims 2 with a cute older girl who liked that show. Now's she's fucking married with children :(
>>12296381Who here remembers That Crook'd Sipp? I wish it got a season. The visual style was so unique. Swamp monster was based.
>>12296381ha cha cha cha cha, delicious
>>12296295That's surprising. It was hugely popular when it was on. Pretty much everyone I grew up with remembers it, I had a friend who had all the DVDs too
>>12297094>hit play all>every episode plays simultaneously in tiny windows I loled
>>12296667They had some good ones. Robot Unicorn Attack is easily the most memorable, though I also liked the Harvey Birdman one where you played as Avenger and ziipped around the office filing shit and dodging people.
>>12297094>>12297097The newest DVD box set is missing the episode "Shake like me", its in Volume 6. removed from streaming and all DVD's, only way to see it is to pirate it or to own the old dvd just thought I'd throw that out there. the creator cucked and also fired unknown henson because he insulted dolly parton and BLM
>>12297012Didn't that end up becoming Freaknik the Musical (remember THAT?)? Korgoth was also one that should have had a season, even if it was just one.
>>12297251Yeah it did sadly. Freaknik was soulless trash with none of the gloomy southern ghetto vibes of Crook'd Sipp.
>>12297014The Marduk episode of Sealab was unparalleled kino
>>12294598>Yes, my livestock, report video games and not the S*** S***** spam
>>12296412>they disappointed me in not delivering from the cliffhangerThey put a question mark at the end of "to be continued" so they technically have no obligation or duty to continue it if they don't want to. They are well within their rights.>t. Media Lawyer Attorney at Law
>>12297220>insulted dolly partonWell that constitutes messing with Texas, so that's his own fault>>12297251>KorgothYeah, that would have been great. I seem to recall hearing there was some kind of behind-t the-scenes problems with getting it into a series, like AS wanted to do it but things fell through somehow.
>>12297449iirc it was even more expensive to produce than Venture Bros.
>>12294592I only own six PS2 games, and this is one of them. What a fun game.
>>12294592>Be Adult Swim>Get drunk and play Ninja Golf for the Atari 7800>Brain blast!
Are you a bad enough dude to unlock the Broodwich video?
>>12298124Yes, I 100% the game. It was satisfying to me.
I thought this show was retarded slop when it came out and I always changed the channel or turned the tv off when it was on. out of curiosity I’ve been trying to give it a chance this week and am half way or so through season 3. Xan someone explain the show for me? I’m trying to figure out what it was that made it so popular. Did it get better later? was there just nothing better on late at night? It has some funny moments here and there but the show has way too many boring parts where nothing happens, and shake who is a main character is too unlikable imo.btw each episode is like 10 minutes long, did they just play two back to back? Or did they pair it with another show that was short? Been too many years I can’t remember.
>>12298278It's hilarious. If you're not laughing your ass off at the mummy episode or the south bronx paradise episode, it's just not for you.
>>12298278>did they just play two back to back? Or did they pair it with another show that was short?yeah
>>12298286CUUURRRSE
>>12298278Best advice I can offer is don't view ATHF as a cartoon and don't expect typical cartoon things from it. Almost all of the appeal is from the dialogue.
>>12298286It has funny moments for sure but I think so far there has only been one or two where I laughed out loud instead of just being mildly amused. why does the show have so much hip hop or rap related stuff in it? are the creators friends with the guy who wrote the main song? Or just fans? Or was that just the cheapest person they could hire to make them music? it’s a bizarre show and I’m more interested in understanding how it turned out the way it did than i am to finish all 10 seasons or whatever. Like what is Carls story? What is the inspiration for Carl? Why New Jersey? What is the inspiration for dr weird? why are the moonites 8 bit? why do those Spikey aliens have German accents?
>>12296381I never cared for ATHF, preferred stuff like The Brak Show, Home Movies, Sealab 2021. Venture Bros is the best thing Adult Swim ever produced.>>12298278It feels like a stoner show by stoners who had to make an 11 minute show but had no idea what to do with it. Everyone sounds as bored as you are watching it. Something like Xavier Renegade Angel is far funnier and just as absurd.
>>12298610That reminds me of a.. _severely_ long story about how you have bad taste in comedy. Venture Bros is peak Reddit
>>12298957
Why did they release this a year after the 360 and ps3 came out?
>>12298986Probably because most people still had a ps2 instead of ps3? God of War 2 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 were also '07. Persona 4 was '08.
>>12298278>but the show has way too many boring parts where nothing happens, and shake who is a main character is too unlikable imo>"an 11 minute show has too many boring parts and an asshole being an asshole isn't likeable"
>>12298594>Like what is Carls story? What is the inspiration for Carl? Why New Jersey? What is the inspiration for dr weird? why are the moonites 8 bit? why do those Spikey aliens have German accents?lmfao are you writing a thesis on this show wtf
>>12298957ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
>>12294592>>12298594the show did have some pretty funny moments/episodes. carl was my favoritehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UNMgENyMUo
>>12298594>why are the moonites 8 bitThe mooninites are retro
>>12299138Literal Atari reference. ATHF Dead Evil is actually a great flash game, also an obvious Atari reference.
>>12296381>TWELVE OUNCE MOUSE TWELVE OUNCE MOUSE TWELVE OUNCE MOUSE TWELVE OUNCE MOUSE
>>12296381Ballmastaz was also good shit.
>>12296454I recall one of the bumps mentioning that it was the cheapest show they've ever produced, at least at the time. they mentioned a budget too but i forget what it was
>>12297220Was that the one where Shake was bitten by a radioactive black man? What a bunch of cowardly faggots.
>>12297209>Robot Unicorn AttackThat was popular enough they could've turned it into a franchise, but iirc they only made one sequel that was more or less the same.
>>12300119>check this out>whenever I move my arm it costs the producer's 42 bucks!
>>12296295The show’s absurdity was amusing and its dry tone made it easy to keep on as ambient noise while doing other shit. Doesn’t surprise me that lots of people (myself included) have probably seen dozens of episodes over the years but can’t really remember any of the lines.
>>12296381For me? It’s Assy McGee
>>12298367this is true of a lot of early adult swim, the humor was a lot more about witty dialogue than what was actually on screen. home movies and 12 oz mouse are other good examples
>>12297449>insulted dolly parton>messing with TexasDolly's from Tennessee, dumbass.
>>12298957VB is just peak. Sorry you didn't get it, tard
>>12300265underrated show desu
>>12300372:)
>>12298278You need to smoke a bunch of weed and be no older than your early 20s and be living in the zeitgeist of the 00s for it to work, you had to be there.
>>12298278>retarded slopI thought the same when it first came out and still do. If you aren't white trash from the USA, it will never appeal to you.
>>12298278>I’m trying to figure out what it was that made it so popular.stoned college boys love lolrandum adult humor
>no you have to be high and retarded to find it funnyi think you just got filtered
>>12300580>i think you just got filteredWell yeah, I'm not high and retarded
>>12300590but you find other [as] shows funny...curious
>>12300608not really. my country didn't have adult swim and all the shows of it I was recommended to watch were shitthe worst offenders were sealab and brak show
home movies and metalocalypse need video games
>>12300623metalocalypse i can see as a GH clone, but how would Home Movies work?
>>12300618>doesn't like hanna barbara parodiesyea mega filteredim guessing euro or latam
>>12300626Point n click
>>12300634Euro. I feel sorry for your bad taste but I'm not sorry if I offended you.
>>12300618>sealab and brak showBoth were so fucking bad. Everytime I see that shit come on, I'd rather do anything else. White trash shows for white trash. >>12300634I'm American. You just have a mind of a drooling ape to find any of that remotely good.
They were thinking "Ninja Golf on the 7800 was cool as fuck, lets do that."This game is based, Ninja Golf is based, and the Harvey Birdman Ace Attorney clone is very based.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQDJsRB9vDc>uncs literally pissed n shidded laughing at this
>>12300905If you think they were written for white trash audiences, I can tell the humor went over your head.
>>12301014This, that's some weird cope
>>12300905>White trash shows for white trash.This is an insane take. Calling them "reddit" would be understandable but white trash?
>>12298960THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO
>>12300349Well when theyre reusing stills from old shows and each show had a budget that was barely a quarter of a typical cartoon at a time, they kinda had to.
>>12300974>posting an early episodeyeah sealab had some kinda mid episodes at the start but later you can kinda see how they went on to make a show like archer.
>>12296171You could totally do like MDK2 and have it rotate between different game modes from the bros, to rusty, to brock
>>12301852I was poking fun at the tards getting filtered by it, but yea it gets good later on (until Harry Goz died)
>>12301942Op here I’m on season 4 right now of ATHF and I did enjoy the boost mobile episode, I think a lot of athf episodes just are lacking an interesting premise and lean too hard into being schizophrenic and nonsensical. looks like you guys are talking about sealab, that’s another one of those shows I didn’t “get” but I’d like to give it a chance as an adult. When adult swim came out I was still in grade school and most of the early shows were still running into the start of HS for me where I had less of an attention span and most jokes went over my head. Idk if I’m going to like this stuff much more but I do feel that I enjoy ATHF more now compared to when I was a kid, however I’m not sure if much of that is nostalgia just watching things from when I was younger.my single sealab memory I have I can still recall is going with my dad and younger brother to burger king back in like 2004 or so, and my dad and I eating while mu younger brother was crawling afound in the play area. The staff neglected to shut the tv off when it switched from Cartoon Network to adult swim, and I remember laughing a lot at the absurdity of watching adult swim in the BK play area since it really isn’t an appropriate setting for it. Must have been late I guess surprised they were even open. Personally I remember being more of a Harvey bird man fan back then wouldn’t mind watching that again.
>>12302024Wait a second I’m not OP IDK why I put that…getting late must be more exhausted then I realized. Kek sorry op
>>12296454I'm still upset the original idea (if any) was scrapped. I don't know exactly where it was going but skillet returning at the end of s2 was a confirmed edit that Matt Maiellaro didnt want to make and i have no idea where the simulation twist came fromI know for a FACT the talking bee voiced by master shake wasnt in the original idea either
>>12296420anyone from there that matters is at raw.thrills making shit like crusin' blast
>>12300626What's GH?
>>12302284Guitar Hero
>no mention of Black Dynamite DY-NA-MITEshame on y'all, could've been a prime 3rd person shooter
>>12294592The game being bad is the joke. It's a perfect kind of game for the show it's based off of.
WHERE YOU AT DAWG
>>12304093That episodes burned into my memory. Same with the one where frylock climbs a tower and talks to George Lowe
>>12295883retro games are over 30 now
>>12298278>DA HECKING CHARACTER IS UNLIKABLE!!!!!!!Fuck off you tranny zoomer retard raised on braindead media theory
>>12304118>frylock climbs a tower and talks to George LoweIndisputably the most kino scene in the entire show. Awesome taste anon.
>>12304118for me the broodwich is always a classic>BACON IS EXTRA
Did you become the moon master?
>>12298278it's basically the three stooges but with random talking food creatures and mc chris
>>12306261wasnt mc chris only in a few eps? what happened to him anyway?
>>12294592I am more surprised they managed to convince executives to let them release a movie in theaters. Literally nobody saw it. I’m certain the game was also shit on purpose.
>>12298278>and shake who is a main character is too unlikable imo.You are a confirmed retard for completely missing the point. The jokes are in the dialogue and delivery, if you don’t get it you should stick to Stephen universe or whatever faggot crap
>>12297220I still can't believe ATHF of all things bent the knee. Probably why the 2022 revival was so ass is due to writers becoming neutered cucks
>>12300634latam did get some adult swim shows broadcasted, mainly space ghost, ATHF, 12 oz mouse and Clone high, but it never took off so it only lasted 2 years
>>12306356Latam loves space ghost
>>12306354>2022 revival was so ass is due to writers becoming neutered cucksNo. The revival is horrible because they completely ruined the vibe with higher quality animation. ATHF Colon is a masterpiece compared to Plantasm because it actually feels like Aqua Teen.
>>12296295Me and my friend were the only ones I knew who watched it, we found it insanely funny, would laugh til we were crying and quote it all the time the next day in school. No one else knew wtf we were talking about. He lived 4 houses down from me, it used to come on at like 1:30 AM, we'd talk to each other while it was on with walkie talkies. Fucking soul man.
>>12306258no one can get past lvl 3!
The guy who runs adult swim loves golf. So they probably put that in to get the game made
This game is actually pretty good. This thread is dogshit, however.
>>12295925Brother this is a composite image
>>12307198t. mooninite
>>12307198The golf parts are great but the combat and racing are ass.
>>12301445I could kind of understand calling ATHF written for white trash. A lot of its characters and episodes deal with things only relevent for low income Americans, typically white ones. If you live in a society where you don't interface with poor people stuck in a sort of rut where their only escapes are football, hookers, and cheap food, it might fall flat.
>>12307469To be fair, I'm kind of upset this kind of targeted humor has gone away. Nowadays, things have to be made for international audiences, so only the most bland, universal humor can be had. It's rare to get a show that specifically targets a single country or even just a single demographic within a country beyond stuff like direct to TV movies on Hallmark or something.
>>12306354Some episodes later on seemed to capture a bit of the old charm.
>>12307469Squidbillies is moreso white trash desuATHF is just NJ lol
So we jigglin?
>>12308323commence the jigglin'!
>>12307740It's for the mixed pop. Like Floridian swamp water
>>12300261Only ones I remember are the mummy threatening to curse Shake and one ep where Shake walks off screen to rape meatwad telling him to "Kiss the monster"
>>12306952Why aren't you friends anymore?
>>12294716I didn't know anyone who watched Venture Bros until 2009
>>12308957>this made burgers shit their pants
>>12309223go on....take it from me
I grew up to become Carl. I'm not surprised by this result.
>>12308957Finding out this was BEFORE the actual bombing, made it all the more retarded.
>>12309719You learned none of it matters.
