    If you like dark and witty humor that's littered with sexual innuendos, this show is a great pick! There are tons of recurring jokes and themes in each episode (I've watched them all several times and I always pick up on another joke or reference that I missed before) and the writing is great! I love the way the show pokes fun at the bureaucratic structure of academic institutions and the narcissistic nature of people in general (like when everyone started having sex with the robot clones of themselves). China, IL can be a bit violent and grotesque at times, but it sort of just adds to the uniqueness of the show. Steve is definitely my favorite character -- he has all the best lines!

    When I first watched this show.. I was thrown off about the animation at first. Slowly it started to grow on me, and although it's simply animated, it has a lot of motion and its easy to watch. The characters were by far my favorite part. All the characters were very memorable and are so witty. I loved the professors and the whole set up. It's got a balance of simple humor and ridiculous violence. I wasn't sure how to feel about the show when I saw the first episode (had the same feelings about Superjail) but after getting into the show, I love all the characters and the way they interact together. It is a hilarious show, and it'll really grow on you if given a chance.

    Terrible. Not even remotely funny, witty, or smart. There is nothing to see here, folks. I marked this as a spoiler, because I feel to fully appreciate the worthlessness of this show you should walk into it without warning.First, you'll notice the god-awful artwork and seizure-inducing animation. It is almost literally painful to watch. Then after the "charming" intro song (couldn't get a real band?) you realize that the garbage qualities of the art and animation carry over to the voice-acting crew as well. Apparently nobody who is on this show can speak clearly or directly into a microphone. It is like the whole show is completely devoid of emotion.... The artwork is so bad that the characters cannot express emotion, and the voice crew is so amateur they have the same effect. It's like they are reading the script for the first time, and calling it done in one take.Finally, you'll turn up your system loud enough to hear.... and wish you hadn't. There is nothing funny or profound or even entertaining about the show. It is a literal waste of time. It's almost like a bunch of words were thrown at a wall and called a script. Maybe 15-20 years ago this would have shocked people, or angered them, but we are treading on a pretty well beaten path now.Avoid this trash at all cost.

    This is one of the few shoes I currently watch that if canceled, I would be extremely upset. At times, it comes off as a little weird but that is part of the beauty of the show. The voices are really well done and it is really easy to connect with the characters despite the very short run time. The creators have managed to pack 15 minutes with an amazing amount of quality humor that can appeal to a wide array of audiences while at the same time maintaining an great flow and plot lines that are easy to follow. When I watch this show, I get the impression that it is actually longer then it is due to the amount of depth that is explored in each episode. Steve and Baby Cakes are my favorite, listen for the raps Baby Cakes does. They are pretty good. I give this show a 9 because there is always room for improvement, but really the only thing I want to see continued/changed is increasing the run time and keeping the episodes coming.
