Bit of a tangent, but I thought The Monarch was the one who blew off Underbheit's jaw (in an attempt to kill Rusty) and Rusty was wrongly accused of it.

Yeah, I was about to ask that - "Wait, his original jaw or prosthetic jaw?"

I think part of the problem could well be that they don't have enough money to have more than four or five voice actors per episode, with Hammer, Publick, Urbaniak and Warburton being must-haves.

Damnit, Urbaniak and Warburton, Pull your weight! You each voice, like, one character each and Hammer and Publick voice, like, twenty each! :argh:

(I'm kidding about that last part.)

I always thought it weird they named that guy after Che. Its a reference without a joke. I guess they're both Hispanic doctors?

I doubt they have trouble paying for voice actors. One problem is that it's a niche show so it might get turned down. When they asked Colbert to come back to play Mr. Impossible, his agent turned it down. Colbert didn't even know about it and was upset that his agent did that. He later came back for the special.

"Che" can also just mean "Guy" "Man" or "Dude". It's not always a name

I have zero issues with this because I love how all of their character voices are generally pretty distinct, but you can hear bits and pieces of all the characters in their real voices on commentaries and panels.

No, the Doctor's name is Ernesto Guevara, just like Che. They even focus on the door so you have time to recognize the reference.

Urbaniak does a lot more than I notice. It took me forever to figure out he does Phantom Limb

Shiela says her name at the end of Showdown at Cremation Creek Pt. 2 in the post-credit stinger and may have done it sooner. IIRC, they're both laying in bed after sex and she sits up and says "Sheila, you can do this..." deep breath "Monarch, I'm..." and then it cuts out to him yelling "WHAT?!"

So she's been positively named at least since season 2.

He also does Jonas Jr., David Bowie, and a bunch of one of chars in various episodes. Michael Sinterniklaas and Wharburton are the real slackers because they just do Dean and Brock pretty much exclusively. Even Steven Rattazzi does more than either of them and he's in half the episodes.

The show has known Rust is an rear end in a top hat from day one.

To be fair from what I remember the number we see on the check is pretty drat low, like I think it didn't even crack a hundred dollars once you convert it from pesos

So what, so you'll poop pennies, big deal.

In the lepidopterists they directly address the monarch using lovely words but I think that might be one of the last times they do? I haven't noticed any since then, but it seemed a kind of mea culpa for it.

I don't really care about what words they use or used at all, the show has always been extremely fuckin' good. If anything the fact they're so godamn infrequent is the worst thing Publick and Hammer have done. I don't think they're gonna use words that get people mad in 2018 but even still I'll watch it and be happy we get more of it.

Is there any confirmation of how many episodes they're doing this go round? It'd suck if they pretended five episodes is a drat season again.

I've mentioned it in the rick and morty thread but i know he's kinda heartlessly killed off a few great shows (metalocalypse, athf, space ghost coast to coast, cartoon planet, morel orel) because they either weren't personally funny to him or they got too serious.

He did keep Squidbillies around which is arguably the best show in all of Adult Swim but hey.

This is going to be a good night for you! The Adult Swim website has seasons 8-9 and part of 11 available to stream for free and if you've got a cable provider login you can watch part of season 10. Season 8 is pretty good, but 9 is almost all gold. It's a pity they don't have all of 10 and 11 but they were both good seasons, too.

Huh, really? Goddamn that actually is him! It's so weird hearing him speak so softly I wouldn't have ever noticed it was him.

My big revelation that my GF pointed out was that Think Tank is voiced by Jeffrey Wright (of Westworld fame)! It's so cool how they got so many people in.

Morel Orel season 3 was amazing, season 1 and 2 not so much. That's what's fascinating about it, to me.

Wait, ATHF = Aqua Teen Hunger Force? That show was gone before it's time?

I loved that show for a while, but my chief complaint was that it felt like they were running out of ideas after Season 3 or 4. I stopped watching around the time the movie came out, I think the episode where the little weirdos with hooks were trying to steal everyone's dick because they signed the Terms of Service creeped me out a little too much. I can't believe that A:) they ended up getting ELEVEN seasons and B:) you guys seem to think the later stuff was really good. Did they change up their creative team or something? It felt like they were kinda running it into the ground by the time I stopped watching.
