I don't get it. I watched it once and it was really strange. It's a funny show I guess, but really strange.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Because it's the most amazingly amazing show ever. Of all time.
This. Also because its storyline. Also because it's funny.

Nobody I know watches it and they're mostly adults.

Because there's humor for children, but every episode is littered with more subtle humor children wouldn't get. It makes the show hilarious.

Mind you, I enjoy the childrens' parts as well.

The colors, Bender's voice, the story, and it's pretty funny as well.


Its the same voice actor but not the same voice.

I just put Bender as a substitute because I forget the voice actor's name.

GT: Clerks

I think it is one of the only, actual, creative shows on air right now. Rarely can you guess where the story is going.

It blends fantasy adventure (Pendleton Ward is obviously up on his Gygax) with a sense of humor that can get away with being absurd or subtle. This manifests itself in more than just slapstick and memorable characters, but with also with well developed dialogue and nonce words.

Also, there is an excellent balance between a continuous story and a world in which there are no direct consequences for actions. This allows characters to be malleable and for fun comparisons of relative power levels.

The show takes chances. It respects the intelligence of its audience and acknowledges the humanity of its characters.

I wish it was on Netflix. Who knows where I can watch it?

Adventure Time?

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo 3
Halo ODST

I've only watched a few episodes and it's great. I think if I watched it more, i'd probably prefer it to MLP by far.

The more I say Chang the more asian it sounds.

Same thing could be said for MLP. You'll just get "it's just pretty cool to watch".

Attractive drawings, lighthearted/dark humor, likeable cast of characters, etc.

So basically you find paper drawings hot?

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

I used to not like it until I figured out that Marceline is a bass player and that she has an understanding of music theory.

Also because the animation is awesome, the characters are awesome, and everything is unique and awesome.
