outrageous Randy Marsh what arresting me
for what I’m gonna have to stand up for
myself I thought this was America huh is
this America I thought this was America
although our world is constantly
changing
this mountain town hasn’t gotten any
less funny smart raunchy or relevant due
to its consistently compelling cast of
chaotic characters okay to take it back
that is good good good
number six recess schools can be really
clicky with jocks nerds and pranksters
forming their own separated groups in
recess however six diverse fourth
graders play together in harmony and
rule the school Keesha gone I big kid

smartass leader TJ and headstrong tomboy
Spinelli the playground also contains an
almighty King savage kindergarteners and
a devious tattletale
always ready to report to the
antagonistic teachers undercover
observations for miss Finster take 93

a massive Kingdom comprised of its own
government landmarks and cultures
leading to the most epic playtime ever
each of these first graders just the
dollar’s heard you must decide to which
these girls had all rightfully belongs
number 5 Archer mr. Archer come on so
that Safety’s tricky huh as
dysfunctional as the cast of Archer may
be every character works off each other
to perfection then shut up God okay now

spy agency formerly known as Isis
primarily employs egomaniacs like
sterling Archer raging alcoholics like
Malory Archer pyromaniacs like Cheryl
slash Carol sex addicts like Cyril
possible Hitler clones like dr. Krieger
and flat-out deranged wrecking balls
like Pam think wildly inappropriate
seriously Pam okay Clone Wars even the
more level-headed individuals like agent
lana kane are susceptible to insanity
cry havoc and let slip the Hogs of war
dogs of war
whatever farm animal of war Lana shut up
although they often fight for peace
these people only cause more pandemonium
on that basis they all truly belong
together
for better or worse and I won’t lie to
you this mission will be dangerous uh
would you say we’d be venturing into a
zone of danger well yes obviously no but
I mean how would you phrase that I the
zoom will be one of danger no I mean not
if you’d say the thing to forget it
never mind

the coffee’s
Oh No I’m late for work again
Futurama primarily keeps its emphasis on
the initial trio of lovably dim delivery
boy fry self-centered robot vendor and
no-nonsense pilot Leela the show is
usually at its best though when the
entire planet Express crew is assembled
together everyone from mad scientist
Professor Farnsworth to the incompetent
dr. John Zoidberg has such a huge
personality that it’s always a treat
whenever they’re grouped into one room
we’re back everyone partay

get upset Lila she’s nothing like you
I have to go this is just too freaky
number three Adventure Time hey

good fun Bob’s Burgers proves though
that it’s not about how original the
premise is it’s about how original your
