ATHF: Robots Are Everywhere
Okay, now that’s what I’m talkin about!
As you may know, I was taken to task by random commenter Ben on my “Sirens” post. Well, the dude was right, the first episode — this episode — was great! If only I saw this first, at least the year would have started off well before having a few questionable episodes until “Hoppy Bunny” dropped.
Anyway, this one had elements of a Mooninite episode, so I suppose that’s why I enjoyed it so much… oh, and Carl being victimized of course. I suppose he may have gotten his revenge John Rambo style, but… “More! More! These are like vitamins to us.”
If you dig Rachel Dratch, which I do not in any way shape or form, then you dig this episode. Apparently her voice was somewhere in there… not that I’d really know it. I just know the face from 30 Rock appearances. (No, I d... Continue reading »
ATHF: Hoppy Bunny
Furries are funny. Especially when the unicorn gets all up on Frylock… oh, and when Meatwad then explains how Frylock should work his way up the furry chain… he can’t start off with the unicorn…
I don’t know though, while this one was probably the best of the four I have seen so far this season — recent commenter Ben points out I missed the first one — I am still not impressed. I think I peaked in season 4 and last season was probably half-and-half if I went back and tallied it up. I might still pick up the 5 DVD though.
I’ll finish the season out though. I’m going to give it a fair shot. Cue up a Mooninite episode and I am all over it. City of Boston? Not so much.
As for last thoughts on this particular episode, it was much improved, but ultimately, still a little too loose in connecting the dots. While this sometimes works well for the teens, it doesn’t always.
ATHF: Movie film for DVD
I had a good chuckle reading this week’s Entertainment Weekly. They had the stats for last week’s film box office takes and the ATHF flick only managed $3 mil. Well, what was [adultswim] expecting? This should have been straight to DVD. I heard nothing but bad buzz for it beforehand, Mooninite Massacre aside (although I guess you can count that as bad too), and somehow the reviews were mixed?
Okay, I say that having read two… EW giving it a B- and Ty Burr giving it one star in the Boston Globe. Burr may go a little heavy on the stoner vibe — probably more a point for Swim’s latest crap than ATHF — but he has a point. No one outside of regular viewers were ever going to see this in theaters, so why didn’t they just go straight to DVD? I guess they probably got the $3 mil for free as those same goers will opt for the DVD as well, but still… I don’t want to wait (if it turns out to be good).
Oh… and no, I’m not playing along with their joke with my title…
Busy bomb squad
It would seem the Boston Bomb Squad is a little overzealous again in blowing up harmless objects. Of course, I don’t think this thing was flipping them off like a Mooninite…
Mooninite mayhem
JPo spawned a little discussion over the upcoming ATHF movie and it reminded me that I had some other ATHF related stuff to post, but since I don’t seem to like blogging at the moment, I haven’t gotten around to doing…
Okay, it is more like the holidays and my rediscovery of my Xbox 360 over the holidays, but whatever. Maybe more on that later.
As JPo points out, there is a movie coming out in March and as Ed points out, it might be a stinker. There is a clip on the [adultswim] site to check out.
You can also check out the Mooninite Soundboard for some good Mooninite audio. I think some of this stuff is for the soundboard only as I definitely do not remember all these quotes/sayings from the episodes.
If you want to kill some time... Continue reading »
ATHF: Moonajuana
I have to agree with Jen that this episode just wasn’t that good. I have to say that I always enjoy the Mooninite episodes the most and I was psyched when I saw this one coming up, but after a couple viewings, it just wasn’t that funny.
Ignignokt and Err rotating around, doing the usual 2-D play, was fun and so were some of their lines, but overall, not so much.
I’ll put this one in the medium goodness category. I think that puts the tally for the season so far at 2 good, 2 medium and the rest suck.

Mooninite massacre
Someone noticed Err or Ignignokt today after they had been in the wild for two weeks or so. Since this person had no concept of who or what they were, they cried bomb!
“Yes, surely it is a bomb! Look at him flipping me off like that!”
Now, I understand the concern for the public’s safety, but we aren’t talking about an abandoned suitcase or unassuming cardboard box on the street here. We are talking about little signs, magnetically attached to some structure. Okay, so maybe not such a good idea to affix them to bridges, but hey, if you get a good peep at it, doesn’t...
