Does anyone watch this show? I think it one of the funniest shows in Adult Swim’s Line.
“Chinatown got something for everybody”
Barnabe Jones: “That’s not a pickle down there!”
Killface: “I know!..It’s your penis…”
Thoughts?
It is without question the best out of the new AS shows…But I still think that the Venture Bros is the best show on AS.
Discovered this randomly on youtube the other day, and wound up watching the entire first season. Not quite as classic as Venture Bros. or Sealab, but it certainly has its moments. “HARUMPH!”

Can’t knock you for a fine opinion, but I prefer the dingo. Who else brings us Darcell Jones, the Pickle Brothers, Ronnie, New Fat Mike, BOOSH!, Master Cylinder, etc.
I LOVE this show. Can’t wait for season 2 this summer. I’m starting to think that although all the characters are reprehensible (save for Ta’quil), that Killface might be the “hero”.
“You do not fuck with the dep. of labor!”
I think that the X-TICLES(?) have some of the funniest monements/line in the the whole show, them dealing the retarted Cruise brother; Golden. And i thought that the three D&D nerds were some of the greatest characters to be on the show, so dedicated to they fantasy lives, priceless.
i want this on dvd so bad.
I’m with Hippie. This is definitely the second-best show on Adult Swim right now. The Venture Brothers is still king. I do have a friend who adamantly disagrees with me, but he watches Stargate, so his sanity is in question.
I think when The Boondocks comes back on it’ll be the best show on Adult Swim with The Venture Brothers a close second. Frisky Dingo though rates high on up there. Fucking great every time I catch it. I’ve missed a few episodes so I’m not clear on the storyline so far. I have to go back and catch it all from the beginning.

I think I read some time later this year.
Love this show. Hell, I even downloaded the free mp3 of “All That Jizz” off of Adult Swim’s website.
I’ve missed a few episodes, but I think I’m good on the storyline. I guess that last Sunday’s ep was the season finale (with Simon setting off the Annihilatrix), right?
BOUCHE!
(If you couldn’t tell…that means I like the show)
One of my favourite things about this show is the way they always throw something that didn’t happen in the previous episode into the “Previously on Frisky Dingo” segment. And the X-tacles are awesome. “Maybe we shouldn’t have agreed to have explosive devices placed in our necks” “Well where were you at contract negotiations?”
I think what sells me on the show is not that it’s funny. I mean, its hilarious, but its very adult swim-formula hilarious. But, the characters and narrative are so off-the-wall and well thought out that I can’t help but love all the little beats. For instance, Xander asking how Stan’s purchase of the Annihilatrix impacts Train Island? A fantastic callback to a great little one-off joke. That kind of craftmanship is inspired.
I’m a big fan of the interaction between Killface and Simon myself.
“That is our LAST bowl!”
*crash*
London Calling!
“We can’t ever go back to Arizona!”
“Why does it say welcome to you are doom? What does that even mean? And why for god’s sake is doom in quotes?”
“I don’t know…”
"Is this some kind of ironic doom? Is the wink implied?! "
New season of this finally starts this Sunday. I can’t wait.
I saw the commercial on Adult Swim advertising it, and damn near lost it when I saw Killface in the Michael Vick jersey.
Oh man…I hadn’t heard about the new season yet. That’s awesome.
"Let me tell you 'bout my new best friend! BARNABY JONES!
Nap!"
I hope they premiere this online since I’m am currently without a TV. I want to echo what everyone has said and say that except for Venture Bros, this is the best show that AS has right now. I’m glad that the Sealab people were able to strike gold again after that show fell apart after the death of Harry Goz.
The season premiere is on adultswim.com.
EDIT: Just watched it. The Ballocaust joke makes the episode.
