Ask me about Cartoon Network before Dexter

Amy/Sky, 27 Space Ghost & Homstar Runner & TMBG nerd

[frank-bennedetto]

I'm constantly surprised how few people on here have actually watched Space Ghost Coast To Coast

it's a limited animation series about a cartoon superhero with something wrong with him interviewing celebrities like Weird Al and David Byrne while villainous gay aliens both heckle him and help him run the show. My favorite part is there's actually a very creative plot going on if you pay enough attention between episodes and dive into the series deeper countuity. And it all gets very surreal.

(yes that is David Cross and Bob Odenkerk)

Adult Swim wouldn't exist without it. Both Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Toonami (yes the anime block) are spinoffs of it. Eric André and Tim and Eric love it. Hell, we probably wouldn't have Homestar Runner, Homestuck, YouTube Poop, or Abriged Series as we know them today without it. And yet more people than not have no idea what it is or was (most know a few quotes at best) .

Most episodes are available free on the Adult Swim website. Episode contents run from TV-7 to MA depending on the season.

The wiki isn't sure on this, so I thought I'd ask: is that Linnell's voice singing O We with some sort of filter, or a guest vocalist?

JF: It's JL singing. I believe it's a native Digital Performer plug-in called Spectral Effects (similar to Soundtoys Choirboy, but more tweak able). which we've used a lot over the years. For a long time was one of the only pitch shifting effects that tracked like analog tape, especially when you are past a whole tone.. Strange that one of the easiest things to do on tape has been so hard to do well on digital.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

[softness-and-shattering]

Friend of mine calls it active listening. Ah yes we are speaking of tooths. I understand and respond. Here it a tooth image. I have heard you.
