[adult swim] is all about giving superheroes second chances. Space Ghost became a talk show host. Birdman had a shot at becoming a mildly successful lawyer. And Master Shake voice Dana Snyder was discovered while wearing soiled tights behind a Winn Dixie parking lot. But no one can deny that our biggest former super hero is the Batman himself, Adam West. Here are five of our top moments with the proud Mayor of Quahog.

  Standing Guard

  Quagmire is just playing coy. Based on past episodes, he should be right at home lying in a strange bed near a man in a costume wielding a banana.

  Primal Scream

  Mayor West may be crazy and he might be easily confused and hell, he may even be hidden at the end of a long clip about Peter's magnetic ass, but you have to admit, he is working in that office pretty damn late.

  The Freshmen Hunt

  You often hear stories about politicians pounding young ass, but it's usually a little different than this.

  Pool Permit

  Fist fights with D.A.'s? Secret trapdoors? Unlimited Taffy??? We're starting to understand why West left show business for public office. Well, that and the crippling lack of career opportunities.

  Dig'Em

  This is totally insulting. Dig'Em is not nearly a cool enough cereal mascot. Upon our death, we would settle for no less of a tribute than Pop, the smart aleck member of the Rice Krispies gang.
