i think they both have their ups & downs...
but personally [AS] is much better...

good parts of CC
-south park
-chapelle show
-daily show
-colbert report
-mind of mencia
-reno911
-movies (uncensored at times)
-stand up


good parts to [as]
-dethklok
-sealab
-ATHF
-family guy
-futurama
-boondocks
-Venture Bros.
-peewee
-robot chicken


but, here is where i shall leave off for a discussion of who is better!

<3,
kevinsaw

p.s. i hate comedy central the most, cause every 10 seconds they have the GIRLS GONE WILD commercial... which means my parents are probably thinking that i watch perv. channels at night :thumb:

You both forgot the best part of Comedy Central: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

yo man [adult swim] all the way. represent!
the only good thing that cc has on late at night is south park, which is only sometimes good, while the rest is crap.

South Park is the only reason i watch Comedy Central. I have a beef with Adult Swim since they never make new episodes of 12 ounce mouse.

uh, people are seriously forgetting about Daily Show and Colbert Report.

Those own both channels. That's right, they own even their own network.

the only good things about adult swim is 'aqua teen' and 'the boondocks.' i used to find 'the brak show' funny as well, but not so much anymore.

Australia AS is just like:
Full metal alchemist
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
Sealab
Aqua teen hunger force
Venture Bros.
Harvey Birdman

No family guy or futurama or anything:(

Adult Swim has The Brak Show. It wins.

I edited the first post to make the lists a little better and remove some of the bias.

They're both good, the thing that ruins it for me with adult swim are how self important they are. Like they're the coolest thing on the planet, the geeky cult following.

Comedy Central:

Pros

Reno 911!
Chappelle's Show
South Park
Great Stand-Up nearly every other day
Strangers With Candy (They show em one every few weeks)
Stella (BRING IT BACK, BRING IT BACK!)
Roasts
Good Episodes of Madtv
The Saturday Secret Stash


Cons
Mind Of Mencia (anyone could've been a better replacement for Chappelle)
Drawn Together
Bad episodes of Madtv
The lame 80's comedy movies they play

As for the Daily Show and The Colbert Report, I'm not into politics or news at all. but the little bit I've seen of these are pretty funny.

Adult Swim

Pros

Family Guy
Futurama
Pee-Wee's Playhouse
Robot Chicken (Sometimes, other times it sucks)
The Brak Show (The best show ever, but I never ever see it on)
The Boondocks

Cons

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Extremely unfunny and vastly overrated)
Sealab 2021 (See Above)
Harvey Birdman (I've seen one funny episode out of like 8)
Anime
The gay text things at the beginning of every show.

While we're on the subject of Comedy Central, what ever happened to Bob And Margaret? that show was cool.

I thought that FLCL was pretty cool, with the giant ironers and such.



Cons

The gay text things at the beginning of every show.



Hey, I enjoy those.

I see it on all the time, but most likely they're re-runs. And they're not on CC. They're on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel. Hahahaha

I hate all that anime ****,
it so gay...
unless the boondocks count as anime(which is probably doesn't cause of it's awesomexness)

mind of mencia is a 6 of out 10 show, it has it's moments... but "dee dee dee" is getting old because everyone says it at the wrong time...
example-
guy 1-"hey man, what's the 2426nd number in pi?"
guy 2-"it's 5, dee dee dee"
WRONG!
STOP DOING IT,NOW!

We've only just started getting [adult swim] here in the UK, and they only have a few of the shows. That being said, we don't even get Comedy Central over here, so AS wins by default :p

Still, much love for The Colbert Report, The Daily Show and South Park. Some of the finest pieces of modern comedy around.

Ok, I've seen this cartoon the past couple nights and it's pretty hilarious.

the enemy in it is some guy who dresses like a butterfly and his female counterpart who has an extremely deep voice. I can't remember what it's called though :(

I consider Adult Swim the lesser of evils, but as a whole, they both suck

I watch Adult Swim a lot more then Comedy Central but they both kind of suck. Adult Swim reruns stuff way to much a Comedy Central has a lot more of just straight crap on their network.

Adult Swim for Futurama and the anime.

Comedy Central because of Reno 911, Drawn Together, reruns of Strangers With Candy, and the occasional decent movie on at 3am.

I have Adult Swim on every night while I'm on the computer, but the only shows I really enjoy on it are Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and that new Shin Chan show. The whole Pee Wee's Playhouse just annoys the living hell out of me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama#Current_status_and_future
Comedy Central picked up the exclusive cable syndication rights to air Futurama's 72-episode run at the start of 2008, following the expiration of Adult Swim's current deal.[7] It was cited as the largest and most expensive acquisition in the network's history.

The following summer, on June 22, 2006, Comedy Central announced that 13 new episodes were to be produced, to air with the reruns in 2008. Comedy Central also confirmed that Billy West, Katey Sagal, and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, with a 2008 debut planned.[2]
