Yep. This is back so shortly after the awful horrible Tim and Eric piece. I just figured that it would be now a good time to see what the newest shows on adult swim are like. These four shows are from 2021 to 2023. Let’s see if the new beats out the old or if they all fail poorly. Let’s get to it!
1.) Royal Crackers
if you could look up “trying too hard to be funny” in like a term dictionary or something you’d find two pictures. a picture of this blog and a picture of this show. This show is trying way way way too hard to be funny. I do not like it in the least. It’s about two brothers who’s father owned a cracker business and they have to be co-CEO’s to save the business or some shit. Every joke just comes off as trying way too hard to be wacky or funny or offensive. It just doesn’t work. They also do that weird “let’s keep the joke going forever like Family Guy” forgetting that let’s keep the joke going forever in Family Guy worked out…..once. The first time they did it when Peter smacked his leg and fell on the ground holding it going OOO or something. It’s something that doesn’t usually work. Anyway I think the characters are obnoxious and if that’s a part of the joke then it’s not a good one. They are also out of date with references. Do people even care about viral videos anymore? I can’t even remember the last time there was a viral video but then again I’m stuck in my own weird world and when I do find a viral video no one cares anymore. Anyway, I do not think I’ll be coming back to this show.
2.) Teenage Euthanasia
This show isn’t too bad. It’s about a woman who leaves her child in the hands of her Baba and just goes off. She ends up dying and then being brought back to life. She now has a chance to be a mother to her now teenage daughter she just left selfishly. This is a pretty good concept and I did laugh a few times at the first episode. Enough to be like Yeah I’ll come back to this sometime. She’s got some super powers because I guess zombies get superpowers in this universe. I actually had fun with this show but I think it could be better if it were tighter in the writing. You know one of those shows thats like 11-15 minutes instead of 21? A lot of this stuff could have just been whittled down to a better experience but hey it’s still pretty decent. I’m at least willingly to watch more which is more than I can say for Royal Crackers.
3.) Smiling Friends
I did see an episode of this before. I think some internet fancy guy was in it. I can’t remember but I do remember being entertained by it. I watched another episode where they go on a trip to Brazil that gets messed up when Pim (the pink fella) forgets to book the hotel rooms. So they discuss this stuff and go home and I can’t say I was too big on that episode. Still I’m willing to give this show a go because I like the concept of two guys just trying to help people as their job and I really like the character designs. Very weird and wild that works very well for me. I might come back to this show later on. Who knows?
Anime Superman! Yes! It’s time to talk about whats the newest show on adult swim. My Adventures With Superman is well a pretty fun show about you know, The Man of Steel. The first Superhero of them all. I’ve only seen two episodes but I did enjoy them because I like the Superman cast of characters. However I do not think this is the show that will turn you into a Superman fan if you are unaware of the character or hate him. One thing that did amuse me was that he did have his own Anime Clothes Changing Thing, You know like Sailor Moon and the ilk. Pretty fun stuff. Despite my affection for Superman and the cast of characters from that series and my enjoyment of this show I have to ask Why is this on adult swim? This really does not feel like it should be on adult swim. It’s very out of place. It should be on Toonami or something. I dunno. Anyway good show. Still growing so who knows if it will keep working or not.
Yep. It seems adult swim is still going pretty decently. Three of these four shows are at least enjoyable enough for me to want to watch more. I probably will talk about more new adult swim shows next time. Who knows?
