Glad the show is back I used to watch it on Adult Swim all the time, one of the best Adult Swim shows

For any fans of David Lynch's work, you may be interested in this series. At first glance, it seems to be a random collection of absurd dialogue and bizarre characters. Anyone who can't get past this, you'll probably find it pretty dumb. There's something else here though, a very surreal air. When the episodes are watched in order, there's a very dream-like quality to it all, a loosely tied collection of characters and events that seem to be getting at something deeper, perhaps a dreamland or some alternate reality. I won't go into detail, but those who have seen it might know what i'm talking about.

Whatever the case, if surreal humor is you're thing, whether there's anything more to this or not, you'll enjoy it. I find it hilarious. And it's even better when under the influence. Definitely an exquisite show.

Does anyone else get the impression that this show is more than it lets on to be? Yes, its from the creator(s?) of ATHF but it kinda seems like something David Lynch would create on his website, aside from the comedy (which i think is actually quite funny since it sounds like each episode was recorded almost spontaneously in someones basement after, and during i suppose :D, a huge weed session).

Whats with these "signals" everyones getting, and the green smoke coming from the clock, and the arrows, etc.

Yes i know a lot of the adult swim line up makes not much sense, but these "randomalities" are actually continually showing up. Any like-minded thoughts?

At first glance, you may think this show is stupid, cheap, and overall a waste of air time. That's what I thought. Then I gave it a chance, started listening closely to the dialogue and it started to become my favorite show on Adult Swim. It was only a bonus that the plot sent us through loopholes, and us 12 Oz Mouse fans looked in the dictionary to encrypt a message we thought was there.

The dialogue and characters are all just perfected, even though there are a fairly large amount of re-accruing characters you feel like you know them all well, which isn't that common on 15 minute AS cartoon shows.

A hidden gem, if you are able to give it a chance despite it's early animation (and as you go on you realize it wouldn't fit with anything BUT that animation) you might find a new favorite show.

12 oz. Mouse isn't really a comedy. While the first 2 episodes may make it seem as such. The show definitely goes down a road that makes it super enjoyable and strange. The show starts as a plot about an alcoholic mouse who does odd jobs for more beer. But almost immediately the show goes off the rails. It would make you think it's a generic adult swim comedy but it becomes a David Lynch Meets Home Movies like format with a story that is confusing. But don't take that as a fault. Mouse is a show built on using qualities that would make a cartoon bad but using them to improve the show in a unique way. If the show was drawn well, it wouldn't be 12 oz. Mouse. If the show was a super simple comedy it wouldn't be 12 oz. Mouse. It's an interesting watch I'd recommended to open minded viewers and people who enjoy absurdist humor. And with a new season coming out soon on July 20th. It's a good time to start watching
