I thought Drinky Crow was beautifully written and hilarious, but why does such a small crow have such a deep voice. One gets used to it, but really! Also at times it looked like video game cut scenes, but a monkey being sodomized by a whale and a philosophical quandry on desire is wonderful on its own. Superjail was beautifully animated, with funny pictures and wonderful main character, and a plot that's all emotion. Which is great! Reminded me of a Looney Toons [Tunes?] cartoon. The live action stuff wasn't bad. I look forward to more of Fat Guy, and Let's Fish was a bit of an eyebrow raiser but it seems to be getting some high praise from people. Really, Adult Swim is the only place that airs experimental animation, foreign animation, and makes cartoons based on comic strips which aren't necessarily spewing out doll after doll. Its great that they exist. But nobody doubted that. Geez, so much negativity here. I thought Drinky Crow was beautifully written and hilarious, but why does such a small crow have such a deep voice.

YouTube, I know, but the version I saw last night was slightly different as it was aired." That is the internet version that aired on Channel 102 not the version made for Adult Swim. “But Heidi, where’d you get THIS version?

The animation of "Drinky Crow" was interesting to watch for several minutes, but some of the gross stuff was just too gross for me.

But I just found it disturbingly nihillistic and depressing, and ridiculously violent. If that's some peoples' idea of hilarity, well...toke up and enjoy. Jeez, if I watched that thing stoned I'd probably want to kill myself. I know people love Maakies and Drinky Crow.

It was trash. I can get the good parts of Robot Chicken from Youtube, some I'm pretty much done with CN all togehter. I'm going to stick with Kim Possible.

My Tivo must have got things wrong last night. Only That Crook'd Sipp got taped. Dinky Crow got lost, and I didn't know about these other shows. I was too busy mourning the death of Christopher on another famous Sunday cable network to even take notice. ~ Coat All this stuff aired last night?
