That is not how television works. Venture Bros. was always on the verge of cancellation, but Mike Lazzo alone kept protecting it for years. After he left, VB was immediately on the chopping block.
At least that's what I understood of the situation. There's probably way more that had to do with it. Tuca & Bertie has no relation.
>Keep in mind Lazzo also had a weird affection for fricking Mr. Pickles.
Morso the townspeople itself of all things, so much so that he was willing to kill the main character off for a spinoff about the sherif that nobody cared about.
And cancelling Moral Orel and Metalocalypse because of his hatwboner for story-focused shows that weren't 100% comedic, cancelling one of their most popular shows, Aqua Teen, because he got bored of it, etc.
Lazzo's still miles better then AS is now but he's done his fair share of stupid stuff.
The episodes are (mostly) pretty solid. There's such a disconnect between how loving and down-to-earth the episodes are versus how self-righteous and shitty the creative staff is. I'll never forget Lisa Hanawalt daring Cinemaphile (yes Cinemaphile itself) to hate-watch the show right before it got canceled off Netflix. Hey butthole, I actually like your show and think it's more consistent than your previous stuff. Way to toss shade because of your insecurities.
Now that adult swim has canceled all remaining classics, it's one of the best they got and I'd take a dozen seasons of Tuca and Bertie over more Birdgirl.
>dozen seasons of Tuca and Bertie over more Birdgirl.
i dont care for tuca and bertie, but jesus, what the hell happened to birdgirl? so many uninteresting girl power characters, and judy is a boring shell of her former self. and where the hell is peanut?
Will Birdgirl even make it to a third season when no one is watching it or even discussing it? Ratings for AS is in the dumpster and shows like Birdgirl ain't helping.
Probably, Michael Ouweleen wanted to make a birdgirl show for years but lazzo kept telling him no. Now that he's the CEO of adult swim, it's his baby and he's very likely gonna keep it around out of spite, like how lazzo kept renewing squidbillies.
Still can't believe it myself. What's worse is that Joe was already brainstorming ideas for Season 4, so he clearly WANTS to make more. It's not too late for Adult Swim to turn things around, but I hate how quickly everyone forgot about this cancellation announcement after a mere day, as if there even were that many people sharing their sadness. RAISE YOUR VOICES. I NEED MORE JOE PERA.
I thought he had nothing left for the series since S2 was supposed to be the end but knowing he had more planned is saddening. One of the best things AS has done recently
Absolutely nobody. AS just greenlights these shows to look woke and get brownie points. AS as a brand is dead, it’s basically the Rick and Morty company now, it alone keeps the lights on so they spend the rest of the money on these dogshit awful unfunny shows with women in them to seem cool and hip to leftys, which don’t watch them. But it means in a couple years AS probably won’t exist, they will be axed to save money and Rick and Morty will be kept around as the money maker, the rest of their shows either dead or pawned off to whatever streaming service wants them.
You're really that offended by Adult Swim making an effort to appeal to a slightly more broad audience while still retaining its status for having some of the most unique and experimental adult cartoons? They're literally in a new Golden Age with their current slate? Yeah, we all agree Birdgirl sucks, but everything else AS has been doing has been solid, Tuca & Bertie especially included.
>he thinks pic related, an upcoming adult swim show, is gonna be a new "golden age"
Outside of renewals, NONE of the new shows that were created/premiered after the fall 2020 layoffs have been good, anime included. Just 'okay' at best, and aggresively mediocre at worst.
Sure, you got Smiling and Tuca, but Tuca was created by a different network first, and smiling's pilot was created pre-layoffs.
Joe Pera's cancellation is proof that nobody with a soul is still working at the higher up parts of adult swim.
I liked how they had Bertie jerk off to being manhandled after a day of overcoming her fear of men because the guy that did it was attractive and then never dealt with it opting instead to screw her boyfriend over on buying a house in yet another typical sitcom plot.
Wait no I don't, that was fricking stupid and let me know that Lisa is too chickenshit to do real shit.
stupid frickin c**ts, and I say this as a c**t, that show isn't funny. It had a few moments here and there, but not worth a 2nd season when there are good shows stuck in pilot hell. Bertie is so fricking annoying.
Women are being pandered to more and because they're consoomers. They subscribe to streaming services. They buy merch and follow social media accounts. They're the perfect consoomers, during an age where men are increasingly poorer than women and rely on piracy more.
Women are not really consuming this show tho, theres a reason why it bombed in the first place; its being kept on life support because of PR, not because it has an audience
I did
Its actually pretty funny.
Yeah, to the lowest common denominator.
>Boco
checks out
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But they killed Venture Bros for it, so I'll never give it a shot.

Well, that doesn't quite balance out years of fricking Tim & Eric garbage that he greenlighted, and keeping the classic stuff of the air.
But at least it shows Lazzo wasn't completely without taste.
Keep in mind Lazzo also had a weird affection for fricking Mr. Pickles.

i've heard theyre bringing VB back, but i could be wrong
they're doing a direct to DVD movie to conclude the story. was announced last year
>Mike Lazzo alone kept protecting it for years.
I thought Lazzo fricking hated Publick and Hammer.
If he hated them he would have gutted it years ago like he did with metalocalypse
Was he was a fan of VB, that could be the case for its continuation.

Women.
>Women
Why always is something wrong with the world this answer fits?
Positive reasons towards misogyny increases by 1
Did women actually though?
I enjoy it.
Now that adult swim has canceled all remaining classics, it's one of the best they got and I'd take a dozen seasons of Tuca and Bertie over more Birdgirl.
Why does as have so many bird themed shows?
bird law.
Birds are very important
How else would the government hide its spy drones?

Technically it never "made it" to season 2. Its just the second half of season 1.
Probably, Michael Ouweleen wanted to make a birdgirl show for years but lazzo kept telling him no. Now that he's the CEO of adult swim, it's his baby and he's very likely gonna keep it around out of spite, like how lazzo kept renewing squidbillies.
I did.
You monster.
I think we all know who did
Literally so many people. Otherwise, it would've remained another one of Netflix's short-lived series.
Cool billboard.
Right? I can always appreciate a creative billboard.
I hope they saved those statues instead of throwing them in the dumpster
No idea what happened to the ship, but the character statues are kept in the studio where they actually make the show.
That’s cool
That's actually cool, which season of Rick and Morty was this for?
Season 1. This show's always had the most creative advertising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ1np6NnMYU
He did the burping thing way more in earlier seasons.
I still love the show, but the dynamics within the family were so much more entertaining at the start of the show. Where did it all go wrong?
>Where did it all go wrong?
It got Harmon'ed. Earlier seasons had more of Roiland's touch to them.
See also doc and mharty.
I like Tuca and Bertie, bu man, after cancelling Joe Pera... I dunno if I'm ready.

joe zzz got cancelled? good
you can make le akward gimmick so many times until it gets boring fast
I can't believe this is how I found out it got cancelled. Joe bros, I don't feel too good...
I thought he had nothing left for the series since S2 was supposed to be the end but knowing he had more planned is saddening. One of the best things AS has done recently
I would be fine if he gets at least a special ep send off.
Y’know what? I’d like that.
post-wall art hoes
My mom, she enjoyed it
i did
pretty good not gonna lie , liked it more than bojack
They take Venture Bros for this...
Venture Bros. had its chance to wrap up nicely many times, but they kept dragging it for no good reason. Their own fault.
YWNBAW
Let the girls have their Bojack Horseman.
People on Tumblr
you missed the huge outrage there was Netflix canceled this a few years back?
More female anthro birds to fap to. What more could you ask for?
This right here. More Tuca & Bertie is a good thing.
Adult Swim finally getting a taste of normo prestige
>finally
Adult Swim's been riding the normie train since Rick and Morty season 1.
Exactly (they prefer this over a surreal and episodic cartoon)
That's a hell of a billboard.
Oh I just got it.
CARLOS!
Yeah, I'm a real piece a shit.
Gonna go get me some sloppy steaks.
The show is fine. Anons here would be indifferent if the show were about two dudes.
I know who it was
Tuca and Bertie Tuca and Bertie Bertie and Tuca
I enjoy it.
Tuca has good character development.
Bertie still a shit
People who have good taste
I like it well enough
I watched a few episodes of this about a week ago. It was okay.

True, you got me there

>Ballmasterz cancelled
>Venture Bros cancelled
>Joe Pera cancelled
>the unfunny Broad City knockoff that even Netflix didn't want gets renewed
Frick Adult Swim
>Ballmasterz cancelled
Wait, what?
>that even Netflix didn't want gets renewed
Is that really saying anything? Netflix doesn't want anything that isn't making Stranger Things money.
>Joe Pera cancelled
what the frick? weren't they shilling his weird ASMR show to all the normalgays that swarm that block now but a few months ago?
cancelled
Bros cancelled
>>Joe Pera cancelled
All necessary to make room for 100 years of Rick and Morty
Me. I want to see Tuca admit her mom was a bawd.
I just want best boy to finish is dream home.
Me.
I liked how they had Bertie jerk off to being manhandled after a day of overcoming her fear of men because the guy that did it was attractive and then never dealt with it opting instead to screw her boyfriend over on buying a house in yet another typical sitcom plot.
Wait no I don't, that was fricking stupid and let me know that Lisa is too chickenshit to do real shit.
Epitome of beanmouth
By the way I saw lenstar drew an art on the bird of the left because he didn't like how it looked
stupid frickin c**ts, and I say this as a c**t, that show isn't funny. It had a few moments here and there, but not worth a 2nd season when there are good shows stuck in pilot hell. Bertie is so fricking annoying.
>Bertie is so fricking annoying.
Isn't that the point?
Where the frick is the Mega for last night's episode?
You guys better not let this thread die before anyone even posts a Mega
Wouldn't you like to know

I just wanna know where the frick pibby at.
I wouldn't be surprised if it got canned along with everything else during the WBD merger.
Just finished the first episode. Love what they've set up for the characters already. The virgin joke killed me. Good start.
Half the people I know?
Based. You're surrounded by good people, anon.
So are we gonna talk about the fact that tuca canonical has a scat fetish or what
Nah prolly not
Well what fetish does Bertie have?
I miss Adult Swim billboards. 🙁
Season 2 was better than season 1. I look forward to season 3.
The show feet joke got me so bad I had to pause the video.
