    I can't believe how nasty this show is! If I may, a scene from the show :Six is forced to give a planet's leader a massage: (Chode to Six) "Where did you get that money." (Gus to Six) "As if we have to ask. Breath mint?" I must admit that I have only seen the DVDs, which I believe are unrated, but the filth, and the non stop innuendos are enough to make a seasoned South Park fan blush (although, I know that no show could be South Park nasty). This a must see for any fan of the adult humor cartoons such as South Park, Oblongs, Drawn Together, and anything on Adult Swim. The characters are all very easily defined, but also hilarious. There is the nasty perverted captain Chode. The slut of the ship Six, who is a sex robot, and the ships science office (an easy juxtaposition right?). Whip, the idiot teenager. Gus, the flamboyantly gay robot who can't admit it. And T'Nuk, the big fat b**ch. T'nuk is always on the lookout for love, the captain wants sex and money, Six simply wants to be respected and not used for sex (although she basically does nothing but, and her gigantic breasts are always on display), and Gus wants people to think he is straight, as well as get some attention. Definitely a show you are going to want to watch.

    This show is brilliant. That much is clear, but the reason why it is brilliant is it is fresh and original. The show possess a innuendo-filled, somewhat morbid, and seldom disappointing quality which will have anyone, science-fiction geek or not, rolling on their sides with laughter and choked up with bouts of mirth. It is funny because it is a pleasant relief from all the previous science fiction shows which appear to be stuffy and impressive in a dulled-out sort of way. But with "Tripping the Rift", a viewer will see nothing but ensuing hilarity involving effeminate robots, narcissistic (and quite ugly) aliens, lazy lizard-type aliens, and much more. With this show being peppered with Star Wars and Star Trek references, it is certainly not to be taken as just another dull and lazily impressive science fiction show.

    Wednesday, October 5, 2005 – Tripping the Rift This program was described as "'South Park' in space." I would agree with this. This isn't saying much, however, since I think "South Park" is mostly crap.Another way of saying this is "'Futurama' without the intellectual content or likable characters." Maybe the characters are not developed yet; I have to admit that I didn't like the characters of Mulder and Scully when I first saw "The X-Files." Still, what's up with the gay robot? I don't find any humor in "Tripping the Rift" as I do in "The X-Files." Again, I didn't see the humor in "The X-Files" when I first saw it."Tripping the Rift" makes some references to other science fiction icons like Star Trek, Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the episode I saw, it also made reference to Dune, Jurassic Park and The Attack of the 50-foot Woman.

    This is some good stuff. Totally chaotic sci-fi series, animated, with a three eyed wobbley alien head character name Chode that cruises around in space with his crew of mentally unstable retards! A bit kinky sometimes, but I think it has a little something for everyone...The animations are really good looking, and I don't know how serious they were when they produced it, but it's very profesional.You should see the original episode where Chode by accident goes back in time and lands his ship on God, killing him. A normal film would show the tragedy in a world without God, but not this series. Without God, there is no Satan, and without satan, people don't know how to be mean, except for Chode who was there when God was killed, and remember how it was before that. Devious as he is, he uses it in the way he find suiting. A great little part is when a reporter for the tv-news reports as he's being raped and don't really understand why, but keeps reporting.The animators of this series should start animating porn or real erotic animated movies.
