Crash Canyon

Maybe as an Albertan I'm a little biased but I enjoyed this show, while also understanding it's pitfalls.

When it comes to comedy I enjoy outlandish characters, and in Crash Canyon there is a whole host of wild a goofy characters, and it's this shows greatest strengths, in fact I think this show does better than most when it comes or having a good cast of oddities. Every character is uniquely enjoyable, and there's very few shows I can say do that .Unfortunately, that's the show's only strength.

The animation is quite terrible, though I never minded it, but more egregiously no episode and a memorable plot. The setting was rather fun though.

I personally would've like to see more from this show as I value odd characters the most, but I'm not delusional: I understand why it was had a short shelf-life.

Lets get this out of the way first, aside from the various other cartoons it rips off, Crash Canyon is trying so hard to be Canada's Family Guy that it get very distracting.

The setting is very restricted. Being stuck down a canyon means this sitcom is stuck with the same situation which leads to the plots becoming very stale.

The jokes are the same as Family Guy: cutaways. And by the same I mean they use exact the same jokes as Family Guy. The worst thing is I think they know their humour isn't working so when they think the audience is supposed to laugh they put in an obnoxious musical cue. That's desperation.

The characters a bland. Again so many characters ripped off from Family Guy, Simpsons, American Dad, the list goes on.

And of all things the theme song is irritating beyond belief. So much high pitched singing!

Bottom line: It's crap. Limiting premise, failed jokes and poor animation. Wanna watch something exactly the same but funnier? Watch Family Guy.

It's an awesome show, really funny. I like Vernon the most out of all the family and the rich people that have a mansion in the canyon, the mom LIKES her son and thinks her daughter is UGLY! The guy with the monkey assistant who used to work at Nasa is also pretty funny when he acts like he's a soldier (more like a scientist.) the torture lady TM (my personal nickname) who always hits that bear with her cane and talks like a man is extremely funny! (SPOILER ALERT) i like when the bear gets off the hook because her (HIS) husband comes back and the first thing she says to him when she meets him again is that "you still have chores to do." aahhh good times good times. So i think i made my point about it being really funny so if you haven't checked it out do it now! it's on Teletoon at Night on weekends.

I was watching South Park on VIVA and for some reason Crash Canyon came on instead of one of the South Park episodes, being lazy as hell I didn't want to change the channel and just watched the Crash Canyon episode, this was possibly one of the strangest experiences of my life. I don't know if it was because I had just watched about 4 episodes of South Park but the stale, boring humor, bland, annoying voices and seriously unoriginal and unfunny characters literately made me feel sick, I'm honestly not joking, the jokes were so unfunny that I found myself cringing through at least 80% of the episode, I may be a bit quick to judge seeing as I've only seen the one episode but after reading other user's reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who dislikes this program. I can see where it tried with the randomness and attempted LOL moments but unfortunately it failed miserably, so much so that I made an account just to leave this review. If you're looking to roll on the floor laughing I suggest South Park or newer Family Guy episodes.

I absolutely love this show. It is original, quirky and completely one of a kind. Everyone is quick to compare it to the Simpsons or other "similar shows"... Really, if you want something like The Simpsons, you will probably hate the heck out of this show. However, if you are looking for something that is a little whacked and very funny in a "WTF" type way, look no further! With such characters as Coma Steve and Dummy, it fills my need for slapstick, wordplay and torture (& tortured) humour all in one slap to the face. I do hope this show is around long enough to become a cult classic.

15 cult lovin' thumbs up!
