Mr. Meaty

"🎵Scaunchboro Mall🎵!"

I used to watch this with my son when he was nine (he's 21 now); Mr. Meaty was the perfect blend of gross-out horror, social satire, and worm-lipped puppetry to suit both of us.

While not for everyone, Mr. Meaty most certainly IS for others of us.

Don't let the stars turn you away from this show. This is by far one of the funniest kids shows to watch when you are older. This show has some of the highest quality toilet humour you'll ever find.

Actually, my husband and my daughter LOVE this show! Its quirky, and creepy, and just plain not right.. BUT.. that is a good thing in our house! You have to appreciate its genius humor, and look beyond what you first see. The subtle script is clever, and the puppets, are just so ugly it works. So thumbs up for us, I hope they can maintain the humor and give us great new episodes soon. I agree that Nik has gone down hill and some of their new shows are horrible. My kids watch F- odd parents , spongebob, and mr meaty , and that is about it. Everything else stinks for the most part. My kids cant buy " Nik" games because they don't watch enough of the shows to answer the questions.

The show isn't great, but I feel like this show got hate based from the design of this show. Some people just assume a show's rating just by the visuals. Don't get me wrong, I do think the character designs are kind of ugly and weird, but the show does have a unique style of visuals. Obviously, the show isn't meant for kids under 7 because it could be frightening for them. I feel as though the show's design was trying to aim for kids 10 and older as it is tween or teen pandering. The visuals remind me of something from Comedy Central or Adult Swim.

For the show itself, it's not too bad. I've watched a few episodes, and I was mildly entertained. It's definitely not amazing, but some episodes were fairly decent. The comedy is decent, the stories are pretty basic, and the characters are okay. While this show isn't something you should watch right away, I think it's at least worth one watch for older audiences. This show is nothing special, but I do think it deserves maybe one watch for the older kids or teens.

UNIHORN! (Name of my favorite Meaty episode.)

I don't have time to enumerate all the great aspects of this show (the fellow from St. Petersburg wrote 2000+ words, so rely on him). Mr. Meaty, as ugly and ungainly as it appears, is one of the funniest kids shows I have ever seen. The precision of the Valley speak parody is dead-on, even though the name of the mall, "Scaunchboro" conjures up something out of Rhode Island or suburban Boston.

Jimmy Neutron may have more clever quips per minute, but its stories do not resonate with the authenticity of Mr. Meaty. The mullet-ed teenagers and posturing mall rats bring a lot of California memories for me (born in LA, raised in Sacramento).

I will be grief-stricken if they do not bring back Mr. Meaty. And I'm 42.
