The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

I am only commenting on the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I have not seen Evil Con Carne.

I try to watch this show as often as I can. I watch it in the morning just before work to get me in a good mood. I can think of nothing like it. It's hilarious, gross, interesting, extremely clever, etc etc. I don't think little kids will get the humor, some of it is somewhat suggestive, but a lot of it is very slapstick. This show has some subtle humor masked by lots of physical humor and some GREAT sound effects, the essence of cartoons IMO.

I has some excellent guest characters, like Hoss Delgado, Eris the Goddess of Chaos, and Irwin. Many of the episodes have a theme based on a myth, either ancient or modern (the coming of Cthulu for one). These episodes take such serious topics and twists them into something absurd and absolutely hilarious. I particularly enjoyed the episode where they looked into the future and Mandy was a caterpillar-like entity who was immortal and ruled the universe, using cinnamon as her source of power. This was a parody of Dune, more specifically the fourth book of the series, God Emperor of Dune. That's just one of the examples of the show parodying somewhat obscure themes or stories.

One of my favorite episodes was when Voltaire was a guest and he sang his "Brains!" song on it. Very entertaining.

Some people might not like it at first. I agree it can take some getting used to. Just watch an entire episode or two; if you have any sense of humor you should find it very entertaining.

I love this TV show. Its dark theme is such a nice alternative from all the other cartoons on Cartoon Network. The series follows Billy and Mandy as they torment the Grim Reaper after coming to 'own' him after he attempted to take away Billy's pet hamster.

The idea of taking something as harrowing as death itself and turning it into a kids cartoon is a really good one and works extremely well. The fact that this show could so easily have been chilling really benefits it. If the theme was taken the other way and told darker this show would make a great film.

The character of Mandy in particular is so refreshing. In comparison to Billy who is basically an identikit of every single other cartoon character on the channel; stupid, clumsy etc, Mandy is a sinister little girl and so entertaining to watch. She is the perfect match for the Grim Reaper. You can always can count on her to do one horribly twisted little thing each episode is hysterical.

I strongly recommend this cartoon, if only to see the deadpan little Mandy. Shes so evil.

Grim and Evil, aka The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, has been the show on Cartoon Network that's a kiddie version of any horror content, but managed to succeed on that. Yeah, maybe some like Irwin's obsession with Mandy that can be repetitive can keep this from being the best series Cartoon Network has produced. But at least the show has gotten to present its nature. Having a cartoon spooky series about supernatural creatures and when they enter the modern society. Which would make the premise work about how Grim was forced to become Billy and Mandy's servant. The animation is greatly crafted presenting the supernatural worlds we would see in the show. And a lot of characters are hilarious, especially with Billy's dumb shenanigans. Normally for this series, it would be for the kids to show what supernatural would look like. But I mostly recommend this for people that are like me and are nostalgic for this and are true Cartoon Network fans that miss the old days. I know this is a cartoon show, but at least the show could've lasted a little longer. I do understand how the show was cancelled due to Maxwell Atoms' contract from Cartoon Network has expired. But as someone that has grew up with Cartoon Network from the 2000s, this series has brought the memories for good laughs.

Grim adventures is one of my all time favourite cartoons. The plot is basically 2 kids, a dim witted boy named Billy and his creepy, scary friend? named Mandy who trick the Grim reaper himself to spend eternity playing with them. They get up to insane and hilarious antics featuring dangerous creatures and items from the underworld. There are many entertaining characters featuring the nerd and Billy's best friend Irwin, Billy's idiot father and his strange mother, Mindy the spoiled rival to Mandy, the former villain general Starr, supposed son of billy Jeff the spider and exterminator Hoss Delgado. Oh yeah lets not forget the creepy scene after the intro consisting of Mandy saying something threatening. It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.

weird. but it is, in a good kind of way. I watched it and it is really funny, both parts of the show are really funny. I kind of like it better than the Powerpuff Girls. I hope the show becomes more popular 'cause it is one of the best new cartoons. I have to admit that there is some gross stuff like the bear's butt. That is mostly why its so funny. Don't listen to some people who say it sucks because it dosn't. There is no cheesy animation it has a clever plot. Those few people just don't have a really good sense of humor. So if you've never watched it before, WATCH IT!! If you like to laugh this cartoon show is for you.
