I don't do drugs, and I can't watch that without being REALLY REALLY FREAKING HIGH.

So nope.

Do you do drugs?

Hehe just kidding, but yeah, not for me, maybe IF I watched it with someone else, but I can't do it straight up, need like alcohol, drugs or another person to make it palatable.

I don't know what the show is like, but the game didn't seem too bad for a super simple RPG.

You don't need drugs at all to enjoy it. The show is actually really good. There's a lot of randomness but a lot of lore and story that builds over time.

At least three major moments literally made me cry manly tears.

Man it has to seriously change, I saw 3 episodes before giving up. The first had undead candy zombies, which they defeated by having all the other candy creatures think they were pinyatas. The second had lumpy cloud creatures, infect the dog with lumpiness and then they had to get a cure, and the third had a ice king who imprissoned all the princesses and I just gave up after that.

I mean, they would be cool for a kid but there was nothing at all there for me as an adult, maybe it gets better. I like many shows made for kids (usually with hidden stuff for adults in them), but the first 3 episodes at least were like, for really young kids, or seemed like it to me.

Super SAD FACE:(

I can't get hidden adult humor anymore?

Whhhhhhhhhhhy!!!

No, what is the point of living if my inner child is dead.

Seriously I didn't laugh at any of it:(

Maybe I was just in a bad mood tonight? I guess I can try it again on a different day and that may make a difference.

Ugh:(

Jake and his girlfriend going into the closet for "seven minutes in heaven?"
"Princess? It's me, Starchy the gravedigger. Brought that new corpse shovel. Oh well I'll just wait for you here... with my back turned... and my defenses lowered"
"Get those hot buns in here, girl"

But seriously, if the show isn't for you, it's not for you. I like silly random humor and I like all the video game and D&D references and whatnot. It's not the end of the world if you don't like it.

I'd at least finish the first season (the more serious parts of the story don't really come into play until the second and third seasons though)

Yeah, I guess those were kinda adult referenes, 7 minutes in heaven is still kids stuff, but like not THAT young kids stuff, so I guess. The whole back turned/defenses lowered was silly I guess, but yeah, nothing that made me laugh. May just not be my kinda humor or something. I'll give it more of a chance sometime, but I think I'm gonna give It's always sunny a real chance finally first.

The animation style hasn't appealed to me, although I haven't really seen much of the show itself so I don't have much of an opinion beyond that. A lot of these more recent cartoons aren't terribly appealing because the style looks like shit, although some things have pleasantly surprised me.

Always Sunny is a good show. I find it hard to marathon because everyone is an asshole (like Archer) but in moderation it's great.

It's takes some time to get into. I actually just started it from the beginning a couple days ago. I've seen a lot of episodes from the middle. But I haven't seen every episode, so I decided to binge the series. It does start off kind of slow, but has a lot of lore that comes into play later. It kind of gets dark, IIRC... But it is really good. But it's not for everyone...

I also like It's Always Sunny. I binged that a while ago. Well, I binged what was out at the time...

I think I binged Archer, too. But I haven't watched for a while. Some more seasons are probably up for me to watch...

I finished Always Sunny the other week. For the most part, it's pretty great. The last season had some crazy misses, though... and some episodes are missing from Hulu for whatever reason (and not just Lethal Weapon 5, which got pulled for stated reasons).

Honestly, Finn and Jake are probably some of the least interesting characters. They aren't bad, but the show is a lot better when it starts exploring the ice king, marceline, bubblegum, and a few others.

Yeah, I tried always sunny before, but gave up, someone said the first season is the worst and I should start with season 2. I saw like the first 3 or 4 episodes in season 1, so I may skip to episode 5 or 6, that way I don't miss too much stuff.

I'll give adventure time .....more time....lol, but it was a pretty wacked conversion from watching Misfits, to watching Adventure time lol. I mean I watched solar opposites before misfits and enjoyed that, but the conversion wasn't anywhere near as bad as misfits to adventure time.

Haven't even considered archer, but I probably should at some point. I tried to watch little fires everywhere (I love Reese) but A: Reese looks old in it, and that was making me feel old and B: the first episode was depressing and I really don't wanna watch something depressing right now.

I may do adventure time and always sunny in small doses, and figure something else to watch (I still have about half the episodes of misfits to watch, but they ditched the nathan char, kinda like a doctor who thing going on there. I know the British can totally roll with changing out characters/actors but it still bums me out and I have to take a break when that happens.

I'm down with most british shows and humor, but I can't handle the regeneration, no matter what form it takes.

Yeah it's hard for me to think of another show that so successfully pivoted toward a group of viewers I can quite safely call ones who never liked it in the first place and had no business watching it. I guess hiring someone like Rebecca Sugar who absolutely hated Finn and Jake, had no use for the central premise of going on adventures, and who generally viewed the material with open antagonism, paid off.

Well, I couldn't sleep so I watched a few more episodes. There was one with an elephant that ate an apple at the end and exploded, another where Fin goes on a quest for a book for heroes that teaches him how to kiss a princess and then this one is about a jiggler but I'm stopping for now.

This is still extremely juvenile and seems for very young kids, but I'll just watch it in small bursts and see if things radically change later or something. I've heard it has DnD undertones and there is a lich etc later on so, shrug, I just gotta persevere I guess.

Maybe it's just not for me, but there are a ton of em, so I'm gonna keep trying and hope that changes.

The show is consistently funny and interesting but if you were never impressed by the writing on anything before, odds are you aren't in either of the groups that could appreciate the show (kids being one, just entertained by what's on screen, and adults interested in meta and humorous commentary)

You sound like you're just taking it too seriously while simultaneously ignoring the dialogue, so... yeah. It's not gonna be a fun ride

Well, the first season doesn't have Danny DeVito >_> Plus the characters feel less distinct because the Flanderization hadn't really started. Charlie, for instance, goes from being a little awkward and stupid to just plain weird and full-on illiterate by sometime in the second season.

Season 1 isn't terribly funny and the first episode/pilot was so bad I almost didn't bother with the rest of the show.

They actually touch on a lot of things as it goes on like accountability, toxic relationships, existence, self sacrifice and the effect it has on those around you (this whole sub plot actually really freaking got to me it so sad), bad parenting (both willful and completely unintentional) off the top of my head.

It's not for everyone, and there definitely is juvenile humor. But personally I'd hesitate to shove it in the for very young kids corner.

Awesome heads up, I'll skip the first episode all together than cause that would probably have killed it for me.

They did that with the first episode of Black Mirror and I almost missed out on a ton of great episodes because of the first one. I try and push through at least a few episodes of a show before giving up now because of that, but if it's really bad I just say screw it lol.

Black mirrors was REALLY BAD but I just stopped watching that episode luckily and moved on to the second (which I really liked), saved the show for me.

Never been high for it, and it is a high quality cartoon.

I would recommend Gravity Falls though if you haven't seen it - and Amphibia is a really good current cartoon.

I'll check em out. I have hulu for free for a month (just signed up about a week ago), so I'm trying to cram in all the hulu shows before that is up. I'll be grabbin a month of Amazon prime after this (not free sadly), to watch The boyz 2 (I don't like paying for 2 things at once).

Netflix is for once having a slow spell right now (they have been rocking for awhile tbh) so there isn't anything coming out this month or next i'm really looking forward to at all. In December the new The Stand Series comes out on CBS all access...which I'm looking forward to (can't believe they are having Whoopi play mother abigal lol).

Gotta also check out the anime on Hulu as well, they have more dubbed stuff than netflix I think if I remember right. I don't mind subbed if I'm ONLY watching a show, but it sucks if i'm trying to play a game etc while watching a show, so it's nice to have dubbed options sometimes.

The Ice King is probably the best character in the entire show they should give him his own spin off.
