Favorite Adult Swim comedy show?

Favorite Adult Swim comedy show of all time?
I left off shows that originated elsewhere like Family Guy, American Dad etc.
My apologies to Fat Guy Stuck in Internet, Lucy Daughter of the Devil, Minoriteam, Moral Orel, Saul of the Molemen, Squidbillies, Stroker and Hoop, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Xavier Renegade Angel

Edit: Shit I forgot Home Movies

I chose Aqua Teen, even though the last season was rough.

This sausage is probably eighteen years old... This sausage could vote. It could go to war and die for its country.

The Boondocks followed very closely with The Venture Bros

Harvey Birdman, by far. Always has been. Next in line Venture Bros.

I met Eric from Tom Goes to the Mayor (and that new show) two years ago at Comic Con, as well as the creators of Venture Bros. All really nice guys.

The first two-and-a-half seasons of Sealab 2021.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies and Robot Chicken are all right there at second place.

Home Movies actually originated on UPN, so don't feel bad about leaving it out.

My all-time favorite [adult swim] show is hands down The Brak Show - even after it went off the deep end in season 3. Brilliant, especially the first season.

Truthfully, I loved the old school [adult swim] line-up [double dose of Home Movies, Brak, Aqua Teen, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast] and never missed a week. After the cancellation of most of those [Aqua Teen was always my least favorite and without the others to make me tune in, I gave up on that one] I couldn't get into most of the new shows.

Currently, I do quite like Frisky Dingo and Metalocalypse, but I don't really care of for the rest.

Although I enjoy all those listed, my favorite is The Boondocks.

I love the Venture Brothers although I can't say I have seen much of the rest. Are they still making new episodes of Home Movies? I used to love that show, and it would probably have tied with Venture Brothers for my favorite.

I agree, and currently the voting backs it up. I love Home Movies also, but VB has such a rich mythology and is building upon it in every episode. It's like The Watchmen with an incredible sense of humour in the way it's deconstructing the superhero archetypes.

I voted Sealab 2021, but I thoroughly enjoy all of the above (with the exception of The Boondocks, it never did much for me).

It was hard to pick from The Boondocks, Birdman, and The Venture Bros, but I went with "Go team Venture!"

This is the correct answer.

While most of the other shows are certainly fun, they're not even close to being in the same league as VB.

The Brothers Venture.

"Showdown at Cremation Creek 1+2" alone makes this the best show ever.

I also voted for Frisky Dingo, but admit Venture Brothers is really good too. And I still love classic Sealab 2021 and many Aqua Teen's as well.

Yeah, I really had to struggle to pick between ATHF and Sealab. Murphy-era Sealab was insanely funny. I picked ATHF though, probably just due to post-Murphy pain.

I've never watched Venture Bros regularly, but I guess I should try with all the love it's getting.

Metalocalypse for me. It probably would be Korgoth of Barbaria if Adult Swim would actually produce more episodes. It looked so promising.

It had a series finale about two years back. A real shame, although I still find the repeats just as hysterical.

From the poll list I choose Venture Bros, but I would actually say Home Movies is my favorite.
