    If you love dark humor this if for you! There is not a lot of dark Humor shows out there such as the robot chicken. If you are a fan of other adult swim's series such as robot chicken you sure would love this!There is a lot of detail unlike any other show and great humor. Some references are so funny I got hooked for the show on the first episode. If you not a fan of dark humor you should probably try at least one episode you might end up liking it.The voice is perfectly done too. The creators of the series are very creative. There is not much of a story plot but each episode of filled with a surprise!

    When I first saw this show, I noticed that it had AMAZING animation, but was still sick, twisted and bizarre.I loved it!!! Superjail is so trippy it makes Yellow Submarine look like an anti drug PSA. The show is set in what else but a jail? But it's a SUPERjail, a weird facility the size of a city that houses the most vicious inmates. It's located inside a volcano that's inside a volcano. Just a warning to protective parents, the animation is very lively, colorful and psychedelic, and the animation looks amazing, so it may end up attracting younger children. Don't let it fool you though. While it is a hilarious show, it is also very violent.Most of it is comical, but it's still really gruesome. Entertaining,but gruesome.Even though there's only been 21 episodes as of today, there's still been time to grow fond of the characters. Every episode starts with a criminal called Jackknife committing a crime, and being captured by Jailbot during the opening theme. Jailbot is a robot that does the wishes of the Warden, and is often shown dealing with the inmates. The Warden is the owner of Superjail who likes Alice, and reminds me of a hilarious, deranged version of Willy Wonka. Almost every episode revolves around his latest schemes to improve Superjail or get what he wants, which usually results in hilarity. Alice is the the security guard. She is obviously a transvestite, very masculine, and violent. Jared is the lovable, short, panicky accountant who is recovering from almost every addiction imaginable and is often seen helping the Warden. The weirdest characters are probably the Twins. While this is more out of playfulness than out of evil, they serve as antagonists to the Warden. Most of the time they are seen messing up the Warden's plans, which inevitably leads to more violence. Although it turns out that they are in Superjail on vacation.So basically an episode follows this format. The Warden comes up with a plan for Superjail, Jared complains, the Twins mess it up, extreme brutal violence, credits. It's simple, it's shocking, and it's hilarious. I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for something weird.

    This is a better than average show. It's completely surreal and almost as original. i've watched Adult Swin ever since the beginning and while this is not the best show ever on CN, it's not even close to the worst.Every episode starts out with the same criminal being arrested by the jailbot. After he is arrested he gets carried off to the Superjail. It gets crazy from there. The warden who is greatly played by the great David Wain is a crazy man in a purple suit. He has an assistant who is a highly pitched timid little man. And he guard who is a man looking woman (who has a bulge?) that beats the guts out of anyone who gets out of line.It's extremely violent and over the top. It reminds of of the movie El Topo only it makes more sense, kind of. It's very surreal and gets out of hand easily but that's not a bad thing. While i've never laughed at it, it's very entertaining and never predictable. The only thing you should expect is it almost turns into chaos and twists completely. The writers most likely don't even know where they'll be going with it.The animation is very old school and looks great especially compared to shows like 12 oz mouse. It isn't the best animation, but it's still nice.But the shows is very entertaining and i enjoy it a lot. But if you're off put by the surreal craziness need a constant plot of it then it obviously not for you.

    This show evokes Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy and an old school animation style rarely seen today.The plot swings wildly from point to point, And hardly gives the viewer a chance to catch up. The humor is on point and the brilliantly violent action "scenes" (the whole episode is pretty non-stop, the action rarely stops) The animation is the real beauty of the show however. The hand-drawn style, and non stop perspective and point of view shifts are wonderful, and the liberties taken with style are perfect,its worth watching twice. Perhaps not for the faint of heart, but a really wonderful example of how original animation is alive and well. Not to mention hilarious and artful.
