I agree that the theme song is the best part.
A little of this stuff goes a long, long way for me. The shock value of violent cartoons wore off about 200 South Park episodes ago. I like the trippy quality of the design, but wish it could be applied to something a little more engaging and less pandering. Based on the opening title sequence alone, it's clear that these guys have imagination to spare. Is this really what they want to achieve with it? But, hey, I'm an increasingly unhip old guy, and most of the stuff on Adult Swim is so aggressively adolescent, I feel like my parents when I watch it. (Except for Robot Chicken - that one makes me giggle.)
The character designs look almost exactly like cartoons my older brother used to draw. Those tended to be ultra-violent as well. Hmm. Maybe he's got a new job I don't know about.
