    Adult Swim has had some amazing successes in the realm of avant-garde and equal in amazing dumpster fires, but this is just insulting to the viewer's intelligence. There is nothing redeeming about this and I am baffled that money was spent on this unfunny, boring and moronic sketch (absent comedy) show. People comparing this even loosely to Robot Chicken are doing a huge disservice to RC, yes not every RC sketch is hilarious, but none of them are just straight up stupid which is exclusively what this series is.

    I could only think of one appropriate way to introduce this show and that is with an homage to the introductory monologue from The Big Lebowski:-----Now this story I'm about to unfold took place back in the mid 2010s-- just about the time of our conflict with Syria and Isis . I only mention it 'cause some- times there's a show--I won't say a masterpiece, 'cause what's a masterpiece?--but sometimes there's a show.And I'm talking' about Harg Nallin' here-- sometimes there's a show that, wal, he's the show for its time'n place, it fits right in there--and that's the Harg Nallin', on |Adult Swim|.-----Okay so like the introduction here says, this is a show that if aired at any other point in time it would probably have been out of place. This show is really a stroke of absolute genius and if you were a fan of the show Monkey Dust http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386224/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 and the dark, sardonic, ongoing sketch based humor format Harg Nallin' is going to be a show you need to see. Really it's a genius project and Brad Neely has definitely shown the right to put his name at the beginning of this. It's kind of got an oldschool Brad Neely comics kind of feel with familiar characters, voices, and scenes with brilliant background animation that both draws your attention but is utterly irrelevant to the main point each moment is trying to make.This isn't a project for the well adjusted, this isn't for the fan of Big Bang Theory, it's not a show for people that love prime-time TV, in that same sentence it probably won't do well with Robot Chicken fans or fans of other fringe series. The people this show is going to appeal to is a small group but it's a group that's been watching Neely's shows since China, IL and all the way back to his early work where he first introduced Babyface and Steve. It's going to be a marginalized group of freaks who grew up on PeeWee's Playhouse, dark humor late night cartoons back when CC did that kind of show, or people that have ventured into other countries' entertainment to find something with which they connected if even from a third person of a third person. I'd say that the show isn't intended to be funny on it's own in it's own content, but I'd be wrong; it's a difficult humor to explain, it's just something you get or you don't.Every once in a while there's a show that's perfect for it's time, and Harg Nallin' is that show.

    Seems like there's a lot of hate for this on here, but I for one really, really love it. It's amazing how resentful people can be if you don't make them laugh.After 6 episodes there's only been a couple of skits that didn't raise some amusement in me and quite a few that made me do that hard sought after response comedy writers seek- laughing out loud.The nature of the show means ideas are dispensed with as quickly as they are established, and quite often it's the suggestion of these ideas being more fleshed out that is hilarious in itself. Pre-teen with a Predator Head? Amazing. Polygamists of the Trees? Brilliant. Other sketches are fully formed jokes, or catchy, absurd songs. Looking forward to the release of Fruit Bloods album.So yeah, don't let the terrible reviews put you off. You might just love it as much as me.

    I sat through three episodes of this bilge and could not believe how truly dismal it is. It's like some teen putting on a show for his mates, but the kid has only vaguely understood what humour is. But his mates have to sit there and pretend to love it - maybe he's got leukemia or something.One sketch - to use the word very generously - was a weird-looking geezer ambling sideways while the refrain "ain't gonna hit dat" repeated again and again, with no reference to anything earlier. For about thirty seconds. Which felt like a long time out of a ten- minute show. Although it was a long ten minutes, devoid of even a smirk.Then they played it again later in the show, similarly without adding anything funny to it.How this got commissioned, how it was pitched ad a posse of TV mavens agreed to take a punt on it, defies explanation. One can only assume the creator is a whole lot better of a salesman than he is a humorist.I've had more fun sitting in the dark and crying, than I had watching this show.
