[@luizbernardobarcellos413]

We should start petition to make this at least a KZbin show, it deserves at least that

[@JohnnnyMojo]

Skeleton Realm weekly live shows on KZbin are next level absurdity! Hilarious stuff. Check it out.

[@boopert3589]

The dudes who made this do livestreams they're called Skeleton Realm, I know it's not really this as a show but it's pretty close.

Why do we live in a world where Big Mouth has 7 seasons, but this is only a pilot?

[@notsure6222]

@@jimmoriarty3381 Adult Swim have a "developer meeting" where people call and pitch their ideas and get some cash reward or a deal for a segment on the show. These guys were one of the callers in one of the meetings and got an offer.

Loving the skeleton landlord. He always brings out a huge grin to the people.

so happy they finally made Skelton landlord I remember when they pitched it! im really hoping they make this into a series kinda brings back that 90's feeling and old school adult swim nostalgia!!!

[@AnAverageAnimator10]

They need to make a season of this show... Its WONDERFUL!!

[@chocolatewheelchair]

I’ve been saying that for 3 years and they never listen!

[@FoodStampHero]

It took a year just to make this pilot lol

[@raddaradda3996]

​@FoodStampHero well they coulda released 2 more episodes smh

Not the same as the show but the creators have a KZbin show that is just as if not funnier called Skeleton Realm Live

Yep this is pure ADULT SWIM QUALITY, it feels like a fever dream and i love it.

The Skeleton Realm boys are geniuses. We need more of this

[@mjjjermaine]

I just came here from the harryfromends KZbin video on this series, and I have to say I’m in love with this. I hope this can get picked back up!

[@HALF_DAY]

holy shit, this was pitched awhile ago, and now its a show

[@familyguyfunnymoments621]

Wait its getting an actual show? Like a first season and everything?

This was the best development meeting!

[@asimono432sp]

This captures the exact feeling of adult swim content, please get this green lit mr. lazzo

[@user-te5nh3li3f]

because of people saying this show was risky and too experimental it wont have a full series

stopped when the skeleton met with the hip young tenants

Honestly, this appeared in my recommended and i though it had more episodes than this pilot, its good stuff if anyone knows what team is behind this i would like to see their future endeavors

[@SkeletonRealm]

We made it :)

This is seriously the best thing you've ever shown us.

[@trevorrentfro1825]

If this got on AS, I guess I should put something together because wow, just wow.

[@joereadel]

Do it

[@mr1000Cent]

Well, 100% of the shots you don't make don't go in, so...

[@microtasker]

@@mr1000Cent There weren't many outlets for this kind of material when I was into it. Story could be quite different now.

[@joereadel]

Micro Tasker so let’s see it. I’m willing to pat upwards of $3 via PayPal for your work.

[@AD-2485]

This is annoying, but I'm glad AS is still putting experimental stuff out there.

[@tranzco1173]

Experimental being a mish mash of early Tim and Eric, with some Sam Hyde MDE cultural gender politics, with some retro synth-wave 80's Miami Vice set, and an all Rhode Island School of Design cast? Best part of this show is the title, and the main character, who is like a hundred year old boomer skeleton looking to hang with the cool kids. So 10/10.

[@Chichimee]

You’re just annoying, not this. It’s gold

[@ZombieStrantz]

Skeleton Landlord s a cool guy adn totally not old

[@tranzco1173]

Ok Boomer Skeleton.

[@inactiuveuser69]

i love how my sense of humour is so broken that this is my favourite thing right now

[@gorillazsan]

Are you joking? You're considering this over finishing Metalocalypse? What the hell, AS?

[@gorillazsan]

​@Deo Vindice Maybe for a web series. Remember the other shows like this they've had instead of renewing better ones? Childrens Hospital Delocated Fat Guy Stuck in Internet The Heart, She Holler Mostly 4 Millennials Saul of the Mole Men Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories The Eric Andre Show And that's just naming a few. But they've had others that they've mishandled over the years in favor for those. Not saying they're bad, some are without doubt, while others interesting. But you can't tell me you wouldn't want them to finish something else. Black Dynamite The Boondocks Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil Mary Shelley's Frankenhole Sealab 2021 Space Ghost Coast to Coast Superjail! Titan Maximum And especially Metalocalypse.

[@gorillazsan]

@Deo Vindice I dunno man. They have several dead horses they keep kicking to milk things from. Remember how long they had aqua team hunger force? They sucked that one to death by season four and still dragged it along to 11 seasons. And it's not like they won't bring an older show back, 12 oz mouse is coming back for a third season after all. Not sure how well that show did in the ratings but I've never heard of a fanbase for it, unlike Metalocalypse which the network goes out of its way to mock fans during their between show bumps.

[@Mr_Boss_Smile]

Not the first time a promising pilot got rejected like Korgoth

[@callumpeterson5791]

This is, like, bad? Like bad bad, not good bad - it's not even wildly experimental any more. Like it's weird, sure, but cg animation and screeching main roles delivering non-sequitur comedy isn't groundbreaking.

[@neomcdoom]

It’s funny because it’s annoying and stupid

[@devinarato69420]

It’s not supposed to be groundbreaking, just a dumb fun short, you’re expecting too much out of too little, now I’m not saying it’s a good show, but it’s not supposed to revolutionize comedy. Just lower your expectations a little, and you’ll have more fun.

[@OMalleyTheMaggot]

Waiting for the joke... No, no, it's just annoying I still respect AS's willingness to let all this highly experimental shit get a chance at recognition

[@shaunhal1936]

ok

[@Brando0406]

Try looking in the mirror if it's a joke you seek

[@Dougie-Jones]

AS has always been like this and will always be like this. Shows that'll be picked up for 1 season (if lucky) then fade away. Not every show on AS has to follow the beats of Rick and Morty.

[@joeallen8619]

I think that the fact it exists is the joke. It's a very long winded meta joke.

[@moldelder9522]

Keep in mind that most pilots aren't good, you gotta look at the potential

[@CrudeConduct666]

This is perfect. This is what Adult Swim was made for. Back in the day it was nothing but stuff like this and amazing anime. I remember watching Big-O, 12oz Mouse, ATHF, Super Milk Chan 🥛 🥛 🥛! Home Movies, The Oblongs this is fucking perfect. Like Tom Goes to the Mayor or something 😂 We need more of this and less bullshit! Edit: Forgot my fave, Lupin the Third! Haha, man this show right here feels so nostalgic, I love it.

[@flytrapYTP]

There's nothing groundbreaking or well written to be found here.

[@Yeard491]

Skeleton Landlord sounds like Cool Cat if he developed an unhealthy relationship with cigarettes and food...

[@skalty9868]

The Skeleton Realmers will always do it

[@makalshadakal6777]

Pick it up for 70 episodes

[@steelpursuit]

Reading many comments about how "is bad, that is the funny thing" is what makes it special, but it has been the same gag for many AS productions, not a new trick and not entertaining anymore (barely funny as well)

[@ChikinPluker]

I want nothing more than for this show to succeed

[@liammcooper]

HELL YEA guy really carried this. idk why adult swim didn't greenlight it

[@orionfl79]

SKELETON LANDLORD I LOVE YOU

[@attonpearson1944]

This has a lot of potential, which I’m sure is one of the reasons why AS picked it up. However, theres an overwhelming reliance on meta-humor, and it sorta... doesn’t pay off. Don’t get me wrong, I love meta humor, but when there’s such an abundance of meta humor in a piece, it makes you wonder what actually is meta and what is just bad. I found the funniest parts (and, really, the only parts I enjoyed) to be the surreal bits, but even those were few and far between. AS sorta prides itself on the Meta/Surreal mix with hints of dark comedy like Smiling Friends, Xavier: Renegade Angel, 12 oz mouse, Eric Andre, etc. Skeleton Landlord just isn’t polished enough yet to pull that off. Maybe I just need to get high to enjoy this, I don’t know.
