After 6 episodes there's only been a couple of skits that didn't raise some amusement in me and quite a few that made me do that hard sought after response comedy writers seek- laughing out loud. I sat through three episodes of this bilge and could not believe how truly dismal it is. One sketch is a monologue called Human History with Andre 3000 read by Andre 3000 which reflects on both how far and little we have come as a race since cave people. Other sketches are fully formed jokes, or catchy, absurd songs. The commercials were just obnoxious enough to entice me into watching this new piece on adult swim.
The 35-chapter audiobook features raspy voiceover from Neely as he describes the film shot for shot. I can't see this being renewed for another season. Fans of either as well as Monty Pythonesque sketch comedy like the Whitest Kids You Know will enjoy it. Fans of Brad's earlier shorts will not be disappointed. The guy who makes this show is obviously creative, and has great sense of how to animate funny and interesting characters. Did they think this was funny just because Trump is relevant right now? However,not every Robot Chicken sketch is gold either. I'll definitely give it a few more episodes for it to hit it's stride, but I don't have a lot of hope for it.
Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio is last great animated show. I'm glad to see others agree that it feels sub-par. Brad Neely's got real talent, you can feel that in how quickly he characterises and the novelty of his songs. Perhaps a better solution would be to revive China, Il. There is nothing redeeming about this and I am baffled that money was spent on this unfunny, boring and moronic sketch absent comedy show. The first 10-minute episode made waves when it last week, a first for the short-form video app, which typically hosts six-second videos.
A number of them will get stuck in your head no matter what you do. A lot of people complain about this but honestly I like it a lot. Message the mods if your post doesn't go through after five minutes, or if AutoMod removes your post. By the third season, the writing had devolved into lazy implementation of plots that increasingly struggled to be funny, while attempting to cobble extremely tenuous devices into thematic conclusions and morals that became more and more forced with every episode. Part of the problem is perhaps that the sketches are so fleeting - there's no joke to draw back on - nothing self-referential.
Then they played it again later in the show, similarly without adding anything funny to it. For some reason, I call this the best part of the show. Which felt like a long time out of a ten- minute show. One can only assume the creator is a whole lot better of a salesman than he is a humorist. Instead we have all our entertainment dictated by the lowest-common-denominator, low-brow, coke-ravaged, sex-driven, money-obsessed and all the other hyphenated filth that keep the human race from flourishing and evolving into its next stage of existence.
The Professor Brothers follows the professional and personal misadventures of Frank and Steve Smith, two brothers who are professors at a local community college whose mascot is a panda bear. I actually put all of my attention into the show for the full run time and did not find a single thing funny at all. I'm still grasping for something to say about it but I can't. The nature of the show means ideas are dispensed with as quickly as they are established, and quite often it's the suggestion of these ideas being more fleshed out that is hilarious in itself. His revisionist narration is chock-full of hilarious bits. When asked to pin down a meaning to the title, he remained vague.
The later episodes compared to the start are a vast improvement - I didn't feel like I was forcing myself to watch it, so to speak. In a perfect world, people who don't think this show is funny would be fed to starving third-world children and we'd all live in peace forever. I can taste the Brad Neely in it. I've forced myself through every episode, trying to find some glimmer of hope for this thing; because, as I said I think Neely is an interesting guy with some potential, but there's just nothing worthwhile here. And it's not like this joke is unique and only funny if you apply it to Trump. It's one of the best pieces of art I've ever seen.
In all honesty, if all I described is actually funny to you, then odds are you'll like this show. But his mates have to sit there and pretend to love it - maybe he's got leukemia or something. Compared to Robot Chicken which is the gold standard of sketch comedy, and on the same channel, it just feels so flat and disjointed. I give thanks to the Neely for delivering this gift in our time of need. It's always a fantastic absurd story somehow based off the celebrity. Added with the odd art style,the fact that there is no stories, it's just a sketch comedy with no funny sketches, watch robot chicken instead, they put more time and effort into it and it's actually funny. Cartoons are two-dimensional, this one has no dimension.
