Well, I had a lot of fun watching the first group of shows that I said, screw it! Let’s talk about another four shows and hopefully have a good time doing so! This time I am talking about a few shows portnoyd doesn’t like or one he does like. I forget the list of shows he mentioned because I’m forgetful sometimes. I think one of these shows he didn’t like. I hope I like it just to spite him. Jerk. Anyway our shows today come from later adult swim, again none I’ve seen before. I have seen very little Adult Swim. Also doesn’t it feel weird to capitalize the first two letters in their name? It does to me. What do you mean you can tell I’m trying to make this paragraph look longer and I should just get into discussing the damn shows.
1.) Frisky Dingo
The second show from the guys who created Archer. Which is a show I have not seen. Anyway I really enjoyed Sealab 2021 and yes I’ll talk about it in more detail later. This was the show they made in between Sealab and Archer and it’s absolutely hilarious. I’ve only seen two episodes and I know that I need to see the rest. What a fun entertaining show this is. Anyway it’s about a super villain named Killface that wants to destroy the earth and a dumb arrogant dickhead superhero named Awesome X who has to stop him. It’s a fucking hoot. I laughed out loud several times and that’s always a good sign. I also love how they came up with the name. The original name was Whisky Tango and then became Whisky Tango Six after they found out a band had the name Whisky Tango. When Whisky Tango Six wasn’t different enough to avoid a lawsuit they just said TO HELL WITH THIS WE WILL CALL IT FRISKY DINGO because who the hell else would name anything that?
2.) Minoriteam
I think I shall have to start with the positives here. I really like a lot of the character designs here. I also of course love the Jack Kirby inspired art. So I don’t believe this show has zero going for it. However well let’s just say doing politically incorrect comedy well is tough. I’m not going to lie and say I never laughed at Family Guy or South Park or Blazing Saddles but I believe those things have something to say behind the politically incorrect comedy or are so over the top absurd that its amusing. This doesn’t really have much to say behind the comedy in my mind OR is it over the top absurd. It’s just uh not very good. Also a lot of the jokes just feel forced. Very forced. I did laugh 3 times though so I will have to put it over Assy McGee. One laugh when Racist Frankenstein said one of the bad guys was gay because he wouldnt join in on their really dumb plan. One time when the bad guy of the other episode I watched gets kicked in the balls and goes “Oh you just broke up Simon and Garfunkel!” Oh and the joke that starts every episode FULLY COLORED instead of like IN TECHNICOLOR. I actually didn’t really laugh at it but I cannot get angry about a reference to Technicolor. I love TECHNICOLOR.
3. Black Dynamite
Speaking of things that actually do comedy that is out there and probably not the most PC but actually does it well is Black Dynamite the 2009 movie which was a parody of old 1970s blaxploitation films. I felt that this series or at least the episodes I watched did a good job of keeping the humour from that movie around. I think my favorite episode was the one with Bill Cosby, but that’s not completely fair because you could have someone doing a Bill Cosby impression and I will start laughing. I cannot stop myself. You could tell me the most serious stuff in the history of the world about yourself but if someone doing a Bill Cosby impression is around you doing it I will crack the fuck up. Filth Flarn Filth! Anyway if you enjoyed the movie you should check this show out. It’s got like jokes about every single famous black person from like before the year 1990 in it. It’s amazing. I think this might be my favorite show of the lot.
4. Tigtone
Yes! I get to do a thing I love which is dropping down my pants and shitting out a gross turd on something port loves. Well not exactly shitting on it just not really getting it at all and thinking it was pretty poor. Still I cannot say no to that! I still get to annoy portnoyd very much with this opinion. This show is now probably my least favorite as I do not think I laughed once. I also do not like the art style or animation in the slightest. It just feels gross and off. I am not a fan. This show is a parody of the old Barbarian fantasy stories. You know like Conan the Barbarian or Deathstalker. I like that stuff but I just didn’t find this show funny in the least. A failure. I’d rather just read some Conan the Barbarian comics or watch Deathstalker II instead. I finally get to rub at least some dirt in portnoyds eyes so that’s a good thing.
Well that was fun. I’ll try to keep this up and going from least favorite to favorite the shows I’ve watched just far would be ranked like this. Tigtone, Assy McGee, Minoriteam, Lucy the Daughter of the Devil, 12 Oz Mouse, Xavier Renegade Angel, Frisky Dingo and Black Dynamite. I would say that I’m willing to more of Lucy the Daugther of the Devil (I want to see if it improves) and above. The last three can go eat a sweaty dirty ass covered in piss.
