    No, make that love it. I think before I under-estimated this show. True it's not for all, and it did strike me initially as a cheaply drawn unfunny show but actually for me Dave the Barbarian is the complete opposite. The colours mayn't be exactly plentiful, however Dave the Barbarian has quite a unique and wacky style of drawing which I like. The music, particularly the theme tune is memorable, the story lines have several moments of hilarity and the writing is off the wall and constantly very funny. I like the characters too, Dave himself is zany, but my favourites are Faffy and Lula. Candy can seem quite stereotypical, that in mind though she does do some very cool actions and moves. The voice acting isn't just an asset of the show, for me it is a big reason why the show works so well, all the voice actors bring a lot of energy into their characters and it comes through loud and clear. Overall, I love Dave the Barbarian. 9/10 Bethany Cox

    We chanced upon this cartoon while surfing channels at bedtime, and now the whole family is hooked, from Daddy and me, in our forties, down to our 2-year-old son. All of us giggle madly.This cartoon is reminiscent of old Bullwinkle cartoons, George of the Jungle, and Animaniacs, with a dash of Ren & Stimpy thrown in for good measure. It's silly manic fun, and you have to love any cartoon that can send a toddler and a preschooler (and their parents) into fits of mad giggling over evil lederhosen. Purely priceless. Watch it once -- either you'll get it and be hooked, or you'll never get it. This is a cartoon the whole family can have fun with because it works on a lot of different levels.

    I am not a big fan of Disney. I don't like Lizzie McGuire, I don't like That's So Raven, I HATE the stupid sequels that they come out with every month. This show however is absolutely wonderful. This is the kind of off-the-wall humor that kids and adults can appreciate. This show never fails to put a smile on my face. For Instance: "Dave creates a homemade megaphone using nothing but a squirrel, and piece of string, and a megaphone!" That is gold. The plots are hilarious but easy enough for a kid to follow, the characters are well developed and reliable, and the character voices just completely make the show. Faffy and Twinkle the Wonderhorse are my heroes! :D

    Well, let's offset the childish negativity of the last comment.Dave the Barbarian has a wonderfully warped sense of humor. Something completely unexpected to come out of Disney Channel. My only problem is they tend to run through the series too quick then rerun it for ages before putting out new episodes. They seem to do this with all their shows, though. :( I can't wait to see more.If you like the humor of shows such as Animaniacs, chances are you'll love Dave. The so-called "lazy and cheap" drawings are better than a lot of cartoons out there today (Ed, Edd, and Eddie? Rugrats?), and the style just fits with the humor of the show.Definite recommendation from me.
