If Buzzfeed has a problem with you..there's a good chance you did absolutely nothing wrong. Bunch of whiny little shits getting offended by comedy.

I kinda doubt that is why they pulled the show. It's not really suited for the television format IMO. They seem like they types that would want to retain creative control, and luckily we live in a time where that is feasible without being banished to obscurity.

What do you mean not suited though? There are other Adult Swim shows like it that managed to stay. Turner shut them down because a bunch of people were campaigning against it because they didn't like their political opinions and the things Sam Hyde said on social media, which were clearly meant to be humorous.

it was apparently Tim Heidecker that had it pulled, that's what Sam seems to think anyway. wouldn't surprise me if there was some behind the scenes jiggerypokery to get it cancelled though, the "establishment" media has been shitting itself silly in the wake of the Trump victory, there seems to be an attempt to silence unsanctioned opinions, even ones that are ostensibly comedic.

Yeah I don't really know TBH I never watched the Adult Swim show even only seen the youtube. I kinda doubt it is what people are making it out to be, but it is kinda funny that this drama even exists. Tim Heidecker makes some valid points and he has a right to his opinion. I don't know the details tho.

the fact they got cancelled is sad but it doesn't really matter, TV is fuckin dead and MDE have a strong enough fanbase to go their own way.

I dont see the humor in it so im grasping at understanding why it was broadcast in the first place.
Its just bizarre and crass theres nothing clever about it and there doesnt seem to be any attention given to comedic timing(tim and eric, IASIP, early TPB, eric andre)
Is there a really funny scene yal can point me toward
-------------------- Anyone got a lowpass filter in this biiiiash?

MDE caught me as a fan the first time I watched it. On [AS]
I'm a huge Adult swim fan, so maybe I'm biased. But I fuckin love the show and all the crazy shit Sam hyde does.

This one's one of my favorite sketches.
Btw It's not a "funny" scene. Maybe It's cause I can totally relate as a business owner.

Why would Tim have any say as to what says on air?

He's been with AS for sometime now, so maybe he's got some influence/pull? I'm not really sure myself.
Sam actually confronted Tim about this:

I am amazed how much behind the scenes drama AS churns up 
Seems most is centered around Tim as well, at least the recent stuff I am aware of.
