#1 हैप्पी फ़ैमिली यूएसए

This is an amazing animated comedy. It captures how life must have really been during that horrible period in history, but with an unapologetically funny take on it. It's definitely absurd comedy at its finest. Amazing show and I really hope there's at least a season 2. It may not make sense at first but it gets better and better with every episode. It's worth a watch and it reminds me of a concept adopted from classic animated comedy series. Ramy Youseff is a genius and it's a hilarious thing to put on. (Sorry for the yap I gotta meet a minimum required character to even publish this comment)

This is a funny show.

It is pretty well written, the jokes are very relatable for me (as an immigrant Egyptian) and it doesn't constraint itself with "societal norms".

Some people might find some of the jokes offensive and I get it, but it's funny so either laugh or don't watch it.

The show also addresses immigrants and their families' experiences in a comedic way but the struggles and the fitting in mentality is real, we need to embrace our culture while accepting integrating into a new culture.

Ramy Youssef had his run with "ramy" but I am also glad he tried animation this time, a very talented guy and I can't wait for his next projects. Kudos to the team.

I laughed so hard as this reminded me of my upbringing in an immigrant family attempting to assimilate in a new country, but only making it worse as we could not shake off what the local folks called "strange culture behaviour" (Sicilians associated with those gangsters. So you could say that after the release of The Godfather, our lives was never the same as we had to live up to the hype). But this animation series has an edge as it deals with Muslims living in New York on the aftermath of 9/11. To top it all off, it is blessed with the comedic talents of Ramy Youssef, as writer and the voice of the young Rumi Hussein, trying so hard to just be a normal kid, but met with racial intolerance and other obstacles associated with the horrors of pubescence. A fresh perspective on growing up in a hostile environment with a zany family making it even more complicated for poor Rumi...

I'm in the midst of watching the show and the animation style is solid, it's fun that it takes place in the '90's, and I can tell it has an overall positive message to send.

I know I'm not the target audience for the content I just don't quite get it yet. It hasn't made me laugh once. I believe that it's probably targeted towards adult first generation Americans which is cool 😌

Does the grandma turn up again? I really enjoy the code switching conversations and how the codes match the time period. I find the disclaimer at the beginning a bit unique though South Park does the same thing 👌

The whole student seducing teacher concept I could go without unless they build it up to something terrible I'd like to see that.

I would like to have a bit of a dialogue with a fellow film major about what consists of offensive versus tongue in cheek for depictions of nonwhite characters in adult animation. A few months ago I watched that animated reboot of good times and it was raked across the coals for being offensive. But I need to stay in my own lane as a Caucasian person I know 👍

Anyway it's a nice animation style, and a thought out premise and doing a retro vibe is cool. I think maybe I just like my animation a bit goofier? Something like that.

Sitting amidst the many derivative adult family sitcoms, #1 Happy Family USA stands out as portraying Middle Eastern immigrant cultures, warts and all. In some ways it is reminescent of The Boondocks, using satire to comment both on internal problems as well as discrimination. Like that series this one may hit too close to home for some, so take it with discretion.

The animation is relatively fluid compared to most other adult sitcoms in recent history. The character designs themselves remind me of Cartoon Saloon's work, with flat colors and big, vibrant irises.

Overall a strong recommendation.
