Avocados posted:I watched S1 of Futurama and was totally floored by how good it was. Then I started watching S2 and it started feeling real run of the mill. Does it pick up again? No it continues downhill until finally it's just "the Bender Show feat. Fry" and all the gags are about how something that should be futuristic is actually primitive and every episode has a moral about the environment.

Actually season 2 is where it picks up steam and doesn't really lose it until the last few episodes of season 4.

Actually Rick and Morty is the new funny edgelord show and Family Guy and American Dad are too tame for modern audiences. Also R&M's worst episode is funnier than any Family Guy episode.

Xavier was more subversive than either of those but nobody watched that show.

some of the first season family guy episodes feel like very heavy handed satire of low rate simpson knockoffs when it overshadowed other tv shows in popularity it kind of ruined the one joke it had

A 22 minute Family Guy episode is usually a set of about 15 more or less unrelated gags, one may be genuinely funny, two will be awful, and the rest will be white noise. There will be one segment where they manage to repeat three frames for 45 seconds to save on animation costs.

I feel like there was this point in time when family guy just forgot it was a dumb gag show and started trying to be clever it is not a clever show and it didn't work out and continues to not work out I haven't watched an episode in years so I don't actually know I guess

A little longer than it needs to be, but always gets a laugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1IgUIJ6pkw notZaar posted:Xavier was more subversive than either of those but nobody watched that show. God, Xavier: Renegade Angel was slept on. I'm thinking it's gonna be one of those shows that blows up in a few years when all the techno-engineered superchildren of today enter adolescence and need something weirder and higher-octane than whatever they've got. So long as it's here in the thread, I wanna talk about how awesome Xavier was. Nothing else really exists like it and to this day I notice new, subtle wordplay whenever I rewatch it. If you watched it once and didn't like it I encourage you to try it again except more stoned, as that can help you grasp what it's going for.

Imo American Dad was only really good for a few seasons and when it was really swingin for the fences it was mostly roger carrying the show.

notZaar posted:It's probably some of the most densely packed comedy on TV but everybody wrote it off as post modern stoner humor. I only bring up getting stoned to watch it if you can't enjoy it otherwise. Pretty much every single second is funny, and the jokes come so fast and so bizarrely distorted across time and meaning that you can't slow down enough to wrap your brain around all of them on your first watch. I didn't watch all of Season 2 but what I saw was a hell of a lot lamer, disappointing, since once you're done with Xavier season 1 there is no other path for you go down. Ooh, frittata!

Season 2 is still good, especially Damnesia Vu. Fun fact, one of the skits in Damnesia You is made by none other than our very own babyfur creep Shmorky.

Ape Fist posted:I was going to come into this thread to make sure everyone knew I would never watch Family Guy as it is not a funny television show and to tell everyone that I only watched refined television shows and cartoons like the hilarious Rick and Morty. Rick burps and drinks, and he says 'wubbalubbadubdub!' which is great, just great. Also have you seen the Gazorpazorpfield bit? And Ants in my eyes Johnson?! LOL! All my fives, all my fives indeed. Do you know anyone in your life that enjoys these type of quips or do people's eyes mostly glaze over when you fire up the sarcasm machine? I just wanted you to know you sound like a little bitch.

It was put together by the guys at PFFR, who also did Wonder Showzen; so they're still around doing things, just with less exposure. Feebly guy is okay sometimes.
