Originally I turned this off after a few minutes as well but it was on again tonight and I wanted to annoy my wife so I left it on. I did not know how awesome it became!

Yeah, it's weird that the turning point is pretty much Lars Von Trier's cameo as pie.

Looks like they are airing these weird shows at midnight now too.

The midnight airing is for viral sake. The bumps even say "if your internet has been broken over the last few days." Adult Swim decided to air the show in a timeslot that was beneficial to them and non insomniacs/non stoners

First time i watched it i was bored after 2 mins. For some reason i have watched it a few times more. Its kind of hypnotic. And i cannot stop humming that damn theme song. Its very strange, but the more i watch it the more i like it. When they were coming up with the idea for this they must have been smoking some interesting weed.

4 AM is the perfect time to justify the existence of such things, a testing ground to see if it could go viral. Once it does, it's crazy cheap advertising.
