I watch a lot of adultswim. I don't love it as much as when I first discovered it, though the channel is well on its way to a golden era if the upcoming pilots are good. I think I watch it so much because my remote control is broken, so I just keep it on the one channel that delivers consistently at night (i.e. the Futurama/Family Guy hour and a half.)
It has become apparent that advertisers don't think too highly of those of us who watch it though. We are all idiots who sit around and think of how good we would be at designing or testing video games, if we could only have a chance. Lies. We are all stoned idiots with no ambition and 14 years old. Still, inexplicably, they churn out these amazing commercials that look like they were filmed in the early 90s:
I'm not sure what the exact point of that video was--that you'll go to college only to work under an oppressive boss who is constantly pushing you to the next project and completely blows you off with a sarcastic "great" when you tell her to tighten the graphics in level 3?! Or that somehow game testing is a glorious position that you can rub in your Mom's face? ("LOOK! I got somewhere!! kekekekekeke!!!1)
Sadly, this one has long been replaced with ITT Tech commercials that also have 2 dollar production values, only they try to lure the viewer in with free demos of 5 year old games and the chance to create "the world's next great videogame."

How would you feel if you tried making a commercial off of a mere $2 budget and some bored dude went blogging about how crappy it was? You'd probably flip out like David Jaffe.
I would counter-blog in a flurry of obscenities and remarks I couldn't take back.
er, yeah, flip out like David Jaffe.
