It's still hard to imagine how a network that serves up children's cartoons could ever spew a show like this out into a broadcast stream that has a potential global reach of many millions.Yes, the Lynchian comparisons are inevitable. It's also like if the folks at Everything Is Terrible conjured up a southern Gothic comedy show. (Watch the last episode to see what I mean. Also the found footage stuff at the beginnings.) It's understandable that many people will be put off, since this is dredged up from the murkiest depths of the black comedy pond. Much of the humor consists of incest, bigotry, and all manner of violence and abuse. So this is not a show for people who get all huffy and puffy about...well, anything. But much of the filthy stuff is just background filler; in normal people sitcoms, this would be akin to guys being bad at putting together IKEA furniture or working out too hard and straining themselves. It's really more about the world they built - and the meatier parts of the show showcase some of the most demented, bizarre and downright inventive ideas in surrealist comedy.For example, the town's doctor discovers that a life support machine is malfunctioning, and discovers that it was made in China. He opens it up and finds a young Asian boy inside, cranking a wheel. Now, many shows would have been content to leave it at that. However, the doctor naturally decides to take advantage of the situation and starts giving the boy various chores to complete - from inside the cramped life support unit. The extra strain makes the child very sick, and since the doctor has (of course) fallen in love with his young Asian slave, he decides to stick the life support tube inside the machine, into the boy's mouth. As a result, the child is able to live on inside the box for ten generations, cranking his own life support wheel in perpetuity. What, you'd rather have dicks and poop and farts and all that stuff? Well don't you worry, they'll have you covered. Kristen Shcaal - replaced by veteran skank channeler Amy Sedaris in the 2nd and 3rd seasons - plays perhaps the most wickedly filthy, wanton, and downright disgusting prostitute in (fictional) media. So there's something for everyone.Highly recommended if you have the capacity to appreciate this sort of thing.

I can't believe this is even on TV, this show is horrible. the stupidity of our nation now, I mean really... there are some bad TV shows with some good moments but I can't even bring myself to finish an episode. you people that are watching this and keeping it on the air have to be mental. I will never watch anything with any of the people that are a part of this show.... hands down worse thing I've ever seen. I can't believe any one with a stitch of intelligence would even waste fifteen minutes of their life on this. and there is a season two. you have got to be kidding me. I have lost so much respect for cartoon network. I don't even think I'm going to waste my time watching anything new they put out on adult swim. Seth Rogan it's a genius with the shows he puts out. I can't wait for America to wake up and realize what our kids are going to turn out like if we are pulling crap like this.

This magnificent epic is a landmark in America's ongoing struggle to define, and comprehend, it's own sexual identity. Patton Oswalt makes Brando look like a piker with his portrayal of the man that every woman wants to be, and every man is in love with; truly the greatest masterwork of the Twentieth Century. Also, I have a thing for Kris Schaal.... like America. So slaughter the fatted Gemberling, light the comic candles; prepare for a New Season.... Sure, this kind of comedy isn't for everyone, but to say that there's no overarching plot; that is pushing it a bit. Acquired taste, anyone? It's true that while Pat Oswalt ( "Big Fan" ) is a Liberal, an overripe pudding of a man, an empty hole of nihilistic nothing; it is also true that the character he has created has changed the culture forever. We will never be able to look at ourselves, our neighbors, their surprisingly hot wives and girlfriends, or their dogs in the same way ever again. America; "Uncle Sam", That delicious Brunette "Lady Liberty" from old-time recruiting posters, or just a big, green, suspiciously mannish copper strumpet fro France? Watch with an open mind, perhaps learn to ask the right questions.

I love this show! It has this weird superstrength of the short bus-challenged. It's like comparing The Fly to Saw. This is Saw type humor. Brutal and grotesque slash-shtick. Schall and Oswaldt are at their best, lampooning the intellectual south. I love you both, like a Carlin kid. My only improvements would be more glitter on daily show, and a toupee like that "Hills have eyes"-guy had in the motley crüe video for smokin in the boys room. Really I think it was a backwards cat-pelt. I have cut a lot of hair. 16yrs. worth, so I know. Pat, I really liked your judicial skills on Louis Black's Cranky Jew Schtick. As for your lovely lady friend, wow. I have never been more in love with a redneck archetype. You are the funniest parts of the Daily show and if you bring me a fresh Hilton , Lohab ( purpose), or Dash-pelt, I will marry you and make you my queen!!
