Well every once in a while they screw up and make a comedy show that is 
actually funny.  Of the original AS stuff, the only shows that I find
funny 
(that I can think of right now) are the Venture Brothers and Robot
Chicken. 
I know some people find ATHF and the Brak show to be funny, but I find
those 
shows appallingly awful.  I also know that some people actually find Space

Ghost from Coast to Coast funny, but that was not originally produced for 
AS, nor is it funny, at least in my opinion.

I think it would be neat for AS to make a deal with the funimation
channel. 
I looked at their schedule from 12-5am and I think it is ****loads better 
than most of the AS schedule right now (even if Fruits Basket isn't
"Adult".

Don't get me wrong, I am not an anime purist by any means.  I think there 
are plenty of "North American" cartoons that are very good.  In fact, my 
favorite comedy cartoon is Rocky and Bullwinkle.  It's just that very few 
good ones have made it to AS.
