The Cartoon Network has this brilliant set of cartoons that they play late in the evening (or early in the day, depending on your reference). These are my favorites:
Metalocalypse : The adventures of the worlds most brutal heavy metal band. A world economic power in themselves (currently the worlds 12th largest economy and growing) the band is under close scrutiny by a super secretive Cabal of world manipulators. Oh, also, they are not that bright.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force : Frylock, V. Shake, and Meatwad ostentatiously battle crime, but actually the oversized floating fries, legless vanilla shake and large ball of meat are visited at home by all manner of obnoxious beings much to the distress of their aging, but still swinging, neighbor, Carl.
Frisky Dingo : I’ve seen this a couple of times and I’m still not quite sure what is happening. What I do know is that an inept team of superflunkies with severe mental limitations is a recipe for hilarity.
The Venture Bros : The opening credits alone are worth the wait for this spoof on early mystery cartoons.
The Brak Show and Harvey Birdman : Brak is a suburbanite youth growing up with his two loving parents, oh, and also, he’s some kind of monster. Harvey Birdman is a superhero turned lawyer who defends other, strangely familiar, characters.
Honorable Mention:
Robot Chicken is a funny, stop motion satire of modern pop culture. Assy MgHee is outrageous and somewhat disturbing.

I like Frylock.
But Spooney can't believe my favorite character on the show is the killjoy.
I watched all the Robot Chickens by brother had on Tivo when I was out for Xmas - funny stuff.
