Mr. Meaty

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.

When the first few clips of Mr. Meaty started to run on Nickelodeon, I'll admit it looked incredibly stupid. Two weird main characters who seemed to spend all of their time making up stupid things to do when they were bored. But when the 15-30 minute shows started to air, I realized it was an incredibly funny and creative show. Generally most kid's shows are recycled plot lines (not that there aren't a few in Mr. Meaty) and bad jokes...but Mr. Meaty was pretty creative. The main characters are a pair of teenagers named Josh and Parker, who work at (where else?) a fast food place called 'Mr. Meaty'. Now, this isn't your deep philosophical statement about life...that would be ridiculous for a kid's show. But it IS fun, and worth watching several times over.

God should smite those who had any involvement whatsoever in this TV show's creation.

Both the characters and the story of Mr. Meaty are the pinnacle of disgust. There are absolutely NO redeeming qualities present. Though I have tried to forget for over a decade, the memories of Mr. Meaty still flood my consciousness, particularly when I am trying to fall asleep. It is pure, raw, and intense nightmare fuel. No amount of therapy can erase the damage that has been inflicted on my psyche by Mr. Meaty. I'll see their faces and hear their voices in my head for as long as I live. But can you really call that "living?"

Recommended only to the most determined of mental masochists.

I cant believe people dislike the show Mr. Meaty. Maybe you just don't have a great sense of humor to enjoy this show. I see some complaining that their child will commit the acts that people on the show do, because I'm sure your child can build a time machine out of a microwave and sausage links, or make a zit remover that contains uranium or a radioactive material, or maybe they'll even get a machine that turns your whole local mall into zombies. I highly doubt it. I mean I haven't found one yet so I'm sure your child won't either. This show is just hilarious, and some people understand that. Others don't. This show was probably meant for the teen age, like drake and josh, because that appears on teen nick.. ahem... I rest my case

Mr. Meaty rocks the house no lie

"🎵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.
