Pickle and Peanut

If you are a fan of Tim and Eric, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Ren and Stimpy, or other offbeat absurdist humor, you will enjoy this cartoon. It's a funny, witty cartoon that had this misfortune to be placed on the wrong network (Disney XD) and for the wrong audience (tweens). If this had been on Adult Swim, it would have been a cult sensation. I applaud Disney XD for trying produce different kinds of cartoons that are more edgy and creative to attract new viewers, and this cartoon definitely succeeds in that regard, but it was destined to fail due to the average age of the Disney XD viewer. Pickle and Peanut has a lot of parallels to Mr. Meaty in that both shows premiered on networks whose primary audience would not connect with the show, they were shown on timeslots not conducive to the audience they were made for, and the absurd nature of the show (while funny and abstract) actually turned people off. Pickle and Peanut is a very solid cartoon, the jokes are funny, the writing is good, the voice acting is great, it just didn't connect with kids.

I too am sad and dismayed at the mediocre review this shows getting. I fell in love with the show from the first episode, and haven't missed a single one. I love the dynamic between the two main characters, love all the cut ins of live action clips and "photo" realistic stuff. I usually hate hipsters, but I love how they make fun of hipster culture, the bromance, and and have all those awesome catch phrases!! I even fell in love with the theme and credit song!!!

HOWS YOUR MOM?!?

PS. I'm also a big fan of Axe Cop, and the new Moonbeam city. I hate Ed, Edd and Eddie, and Uncle Grandpa. Just to give you an idea of my taste.

If you don't find this funny, you have no sense of childlike humor. Some episodes are crap but my god some of them have left me gasping for breath. I love anarchic humor so it's right up my street, it's silly, corny, is very similar to Spongebob at times (which i also love). I'm 35 by the way.

In the current era where most kids cartoons are so limited and "pc", all creativity is lost and you are left with a monotony of similar cartoons all as bland as each other, Pickle and Peanut is refreshing, genuinely well made and extremely funny (at times). I grew up in the 80's where children's TV was AMAZING. Lets hope we get back to them times soon. I make no apologies for being a 35 year old kid who appreciates good, silly humor.

This is great for the boys. get the whole squad around to watch this masterpiece. This was the first cartoon my father truly loved, in fact every time he watches any episode he laughs so hard that he froths at the mouth and passes out from lack of oxygen intake. My brother loves this show so much that he goes through a magical transformation turning into 'pickle man'. In that state he loses his mind and screams pickle man while beating up my children. Good boxing practice. And I chuckled at least once so the show is a masterpiece. Change my mind.

I can't explain why everyone has rated this so low. Give it a chance. It's a stupid show in the very best way. It would have been much more at home on adult swim or Cartoon Network. It's like Ren & Stimpy meets Amazing World of Gumball... I think it's hilarious. Appreciate it for what it is.
