metal band Dethklok what do we mean by
impossibly popular well they’re one of
the world’s largest economies and their
fans frequently put themselves in harm’s
way just to see them perform they’re
called pain wavers fans are literally
signing their life away releasing
Dethklok from any and all liability well
I got tore out for Spanish Oh
fame and fortune allowed Dethklok to
regularly engage in dangerous or illegal
activity bleach here drink taste murder
fees none of which results in negative
repercussions for them at least but it
does help give the show it’s black
humour with a heavy emphasis on violence
and death I want to speak on behalf of
the band right guys we talked about this

space ghost coast to coast hello I am
Space Ghost debuting years before Adult
Swim took form this series was the jewel
in the Adult Swim crown between 2001 and
2004 and it’s another Cartoon Network
show centered on a 60s era hanna-barbera
character before we begin I’d just like
to point out to our viewers that
although it may seem like the ghost
planet behind me is really close it’s
actually millions and millions of miles
away so don’t worry we’re not going to
run into it or anything
apparently the superhero occupation
wasn’t panning out cuz Space Ghost made
the conscious decision to become a
late-night talk-show host you must be in
awe of my super colossal strength I’m in
awe of any
man that wears wristbands like yours
with his supporting team of Zorich
boltar and brac the latter of whom even
earned his own spin-off show the
superhero frequently converses with
celebrities in painfully awkward
interviews Ultar can you make me a
hundred copies of this what is it it’s
the new Radiohead CD it’s not the guy
from Radiohead yes hello

began as a humble comic strip before
being picked up by the network for a
full-length animated series Oh if mine
Obama gets up in there I’m gonna act a
fool I ain’t doing no more homework
nuttin we taking over in its anime
influenced visual style The Boondocks
follows the adventures and antics of two
african-american brothers and their
grandfather living in the suburbs of
their new predominantly white town of
wood crust boy are you stupid

venture between watching them face off
against their butterfly styled
arch-nemesis monarch I too AM anxious to
see you severely mangled to the various
other life-threatening dangers they

child genius slash adventurer and his
happy-go-lucky twins
Hank and Dean is he did can’t tell touch
