Okay, odd show. A bit Sealab, a bit Venture Bros, 3 bits Stewie Griffin and a hint of Rupert Murdoch. I laughed through most of it, and then again a lot more when watching it again on the Fix. The whole corporate/marketing angle to the show is hilarious. And using the torso of Brent as a ventriliquist dummy was too funny.

Cheese and Crust!

I wish the Williams Street gang would quit with the random violence. It's getting really old, and I can already see this show just using it as a crutch, like almost every other new Adult Swim production.

According to Entertainmment Weekly, things don't pick up until next week. For now, it's just a big pile of "huh?!?"

Wow...This was just weird.

I actually really liked it. Might have something to do with working in marketing, but I found the viciously boring corporate speak to be wildly funny. Especially with the recasting of the hot-headed executive with an actual super-villian. I always found Sealab to be very hit or miss, so gosh knows what I'll think next week, but for now, I like.

That was...
Well, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't funny or good.
I'll give it one more week to see if it manages to go anywhere, though.

Oh, ok, that's good. I sat through the first ep like "...huh?..." I'll give it another chance.

A Killface vs Murderface crossover is inevitable.

Now that was okay. The latest episode I thought did a good riff of Batman's origins and did a good job of making the hero look petty. I'm now wondering how he'll do against Killface though it seems like these two would rather do other things than fight each other, really.

"X-ticles." Awesome. I'm seeing the old Sealab 2021 magic peeking from beneath the bizarre show name, and not just because the clingy reporter ("I got six bars!") seems to have the same VA as Slutty Debbie.

Heh. I enjoyed this ep much better.

I couldn't stop giggling whenever someone mentioned X-ticles.

I like this show. What it doesn't have in awsome animation it more than makes up for with excellent writing, much like the Sealab series. Also, I'm noticing that this episode, right at the very end, gave a hint to a serialized story line. Looks like things are looking good for Dingo.

Ok, I'm hooked.

"Aww, is that sculpy?"

Henchmen humor. Never gets old.

I freakin' LOVE this show! But I have to seriously disagree with the notion that things pick up in the second episode, I'm a much bigger fan of the first one right now. I must have watched that one ten times and I haven't revisited Awesome X much (except for right now) at all. I really hope Val wasn't murdered and dismembered because I love the rapport between her and Killface more than most things in the world right now.

"Send a postcard to Strunk & White."

I <3 JaQueel (sp.?) just for that. The Regis and Kelly parody was great too.

Awesome X isn't as dumb as he first appeared and has actually thought things through, plan for the Caimon [sic] Islands and all.

Is Simon half human?

What was Simon's very last line about the gift bag? Something about Ladybugs?

The Ladybugs got fleeces. (And Simon is the kid)

Okay, I don't get that at all :)

A jump roping squad with "Ladybug" in the title had been the guests just ahead of Killface. He was happy with the giftbag until he discovered he didn't get a fleece like they did.

It's official: This show kicks ass.

This episode was just so awesome about calling out the fact that shows sell out, and that kickass Scion TC...crap, don't show that! Stop it!

I just want to finally see what the confrontation between Killface & Awesome-X/Xander will be like, and you know they'll do it.

More Xticles please!

This episode....It was like Ka-Kow but then it's like Ka-Kow! Killface makes me think of what Frasier Crane would be like as a villain.

I think Frasier Crane as a villain would be more like Sideshow Bob: pompous and ineffective, rather than Killface's effectiveness despite his pomposity.

How is Killface effective though? He got his assistant to send out the postcards and she even got him a spot on the talk show.

He's killed a fair number of people. Just ask Brent.

Thanks, the fresh maker!

Was so happy someone pointed out the grammatical error in the postcards ON THE SHOW. That really made me want to keep watching, strangely enough.

And the geisha makeup/tears on the marketing executive.

"Why is doom in quotation marks? Is it some kind of ironic doom?!"

My new favorite show.

"Is the wink implied?!"

I'm bizarrely fascinated by those lookalike board members of Xander's that always say "Harrumph!"

As a fellow marketing drone, I can really identify with this show. As a homicidal alien hell-bent on the enslavement of this planet, I can really identify with this show. I win both ways!

Geez, not another marketing drone/homicidal alien. Honestly, you can't throw a figurative stone on this website without hitting one of your kind. Which part is more evil?

All kidding aside, I like this show, but I'm not sure why yet. I think it's the use of the word, "Frisky."

"We mean you no harm, celestial."

"Those loans are for well-educated women of color."

"They can go into real estate. Or open a salon."

I don't know where this show came from, but I'm loving it. And I guess seagulls are natural predators of lobsterman eggs. Who knew?

About Stan...what happened to the weird greenish lines that I saw in the last two episodes? Orignally, I thought it was a TV glitch, then I figured Stan was a hologram. This week, no lines. Maybe one of his harumphin' clones filled in this week?

The 12-billion dollar question is: Did Xander get Killface's signature?

Simon wasn't so glum this ep. Hilarious that Killface and his crew thought "Ant Farm Keyboard" was genius. Killface and Xander appear to be intellectual equals. Speaking of "Ant Farm Keyboard," that would make a great band name.

Too bad Xander cut off their song. I really wanted to hear it!

Didn't take long for this show to hit its stride.

"Wait 'til I tell all the guys at school!"
"Oh, God."
"Do you like, X-Box?"
"Quiet, sweetie. I'm tired."

"But I gave you breadcrumbs!"

I haven't been able to make out the robot-amazon's name?

I think it's Sin.

Is she a robot or cyborg? I thought she was a robot at first, but the fact she didn't want to eat the cereal with glass in it made me think differently.

Another funny ep! Seeing Killface and Sin with Elvis hair cracked me UP.

I totally had a flashback to the Sealab ep when the Cap'n gets trapped beneath his secret soft drink machine when I saw that scorpion on the road. Shout out?

Does Sinn have the same cyborg arm as Bizarro Debbie?

I'm not sure if she's a robot or cyborg. Robot voice and robot arm?

Thanks for the name Gnosis, I thought he was saying 'Sam.'

I love this show! Xander reminds of the character with the same name from Buffy the Vampire Slayer; is that intentional? Also, did anyone see if Max Cannon was in the credits?

As a matter of fact, yes, we will be using algebra like crazy.

This show is hilarious. Funny how it's got the Sealab ratcheting absurdity vibe, but it's not really nearly as Non Sequitur-ish as that show, or quite a few others on AS (although I tend to like non sequiturs). It's actually got a fair amount of continuity to it which is kind of unusual for anything AS puts out aside from Venture Brothers and to some extent Metalocalypse... I like this show more and more each week.

Sinn reminds me of Ilia from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, after she was 'converted' by V'ger:

Wow, I don't think the two characters could be more different (outside of the name, what similarities are there)? So ... I'll guess it's not intentional.

I'm still really loving this show.

I meant they look alike and sound alike to me. I figured they got the actor to do his voice for some weird reason.

Several reasons why Killface wants to destroy the world...

...but he likes Arsenio Hall.

Thanks for the link The Fresh Maker.

Is killface an alien? I always thought he was some mutant-supervillian South African?

Well, this Xander is pretty clearly modeled after Bruce Wayne in terms of looks, so any similarity there is probably incidental.

"Swiper no swiping?"

Cracked up at the Dora bandaid reference. Someone writing the show has a toddler...

The health insurance stuff was funny, but I thought this episode wasn't quite as good as they've been. Still pretty good though. Good enough to have me laughing all through it, just not falling on the floor.

"Where did you even get these?"
"Everywhere."

"I bet Whitey here likes to pray."

"What the hell do you want?"
"We want a living wage! And health insurance!'
"Yeah, and flex hours, bitch!"

Who's laughing now? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Me. I'm laughing.

"Jetboots ruuuuuuuuuuuuule!!!"

"Dude...You don't have to say that every time!"

I love this show.
