Mr. Pickles

This is definitely one of the best cartoons ever. It's a shame that they have only made 4 hours of this show in 6 years. Mr. Pickles is a good boy.

"This show is not for everyone" should be this show's goddamn tag-line or something. It's violent, and constantly shoves it's satanic references and disgusting body-humor down your throat AT ALL TIMES.

You need a stomach for this kind of show, and if you have it, it's really, really fun. You can't knock it for not being creative. A lot of the voice actors for characters in the show aren't amazing, but at least most of them are convincing, it's stories in each episode are, as well, average but good enough. Where it really shines is how well it handles it's violent situations and characters. One scene can go from seemingly harmless to absolute insanity in the blink of an eye, and it never feels too rushed or out of place. This is mostly due to the fact that the only scenes containing elements of torture, violence, hacking, sawing, and pretty much any other disgustingly gory act you can possibly think of are so brief and inventive in it's own sorta way, that after a while, it becomes normal within the show's confined universe.

Mr. Pickles is alot to handle as a show. One episode is enough to give you an idea of what else is in store for you as a veiwer. I can't tell if it's funny because of how appalling the violence is; the show is truly remarkable in twisted imagination.

Plot- Each epsiode is like a Horror show with happy go lucky main characters (The Goodman's) and an unknowingly satanic dog (Mr. Pickles). The show will always start with Mr Pickles obliterating some random, mostly airheaded innocent people- much like a horror movie. Of course the tone of the show is comedic, but it all revolves around the dogs unimaginably disgusting affairs.

Writing- Not a very funny show honestly. I really only laugh in amazement at how immensely demented it can be. There's funny elements, like how Mr Pickles always manages to seem innocent just before he is about to be exposed, or how the grandpa always seems crazy. Its really only clever in terms of violence. Teenagers would love this- it's packed to the brim with excess. Try to find one normal scene without anything even minutely gross or perverted. It won't happen.

Characters/Acting- The voice acting is good. Some likeable characters that are kinda funny, others are just overexaggerated and annoying.

Quality- Pretty damn good honestly, for being animated on Adobe Flash. It's extremely detailed, fast paced, and the violence is completely crazy. You may laugh at it, but its not for the right reasons.

Overall I would never recommend this to anyone that is easily offended by violence, anyone of strong religious faith, anyone who isnt a teenager, anyone who is looking for a cleverly humorous show. If you wanna wipe your brain, distract yourself, or have a feeling of WTF, turn this on when you can. As for me, I like it for the shock factor, but can only handle about 1 or 2 episodes at a time. I keep using the word "excessive" excessively, but that is the definition of this show.

This is the kind of late night cartoon I have a soft spot for. Yes it's over the top, yes it's dark and twisted, yes it can be revolting; but all these things are good when they're framed in funny jokes. I like the writing, I like it's fast pace, and I enjoy the premise. Bring on more death metal dog doing frocked up things with a panting smile.

I'm sure this cartoon pisses off a lot of people and I'm sure some people find it tasteless, but honestly I think if you're willing to look past some of the more "shock" stuff, or for some people (like me) actually enjoy them, you'll see there is still clever writing and solid absurd humour. I can't say I expect this to get super popular or even for it to go on for very long, but if you like death metal, slasher movies that have subtle and twisted comedy, dirty and manic cartoons, then I think you might be the kind of person that likes this. Not that those things are all related, except that they are all offbeat from the mainstream, snobs stick their noses up at it, but yet there's something about them that entertains some of us.

Mr. Pickles is a great show that many people including friends, youtubers and critics like to shit all over. Now im gore's worst fan, i faint if i see more than 2 drops of blood but i dont know what it is about Mr. Pickles but the literal murdering that happens in the show doesnt make me want to temporarily die. Out of the 3 seasons and 1 special episode ive watched the special and the first two seasons because after watching something like "Telemarketers Are The Devil" and "S.H.O.E.S" i dont want anything to do with that season. Yes it is humour that 100% is shock value but i like it.
