Pickle and Peanut

I can't explain why everyone has rated this so low. Give it a chance. It's a stupid show in the very best way. It would have been much more at home on adult swim or Cartoon Network. It's like Ren & Stimpy meets Amazing World of Gumball... I think it's hilarious. Appreciate it for what it is.

If you don't find this funny, you have no sense of childlike humor. Some episodes are crap but my god some of them have left me gasping for breath. I love anarchic humor so it's right up my street, it's silly, corny, is very similar to Spongebob at times (which i also love). I'm 35 by the way.

In the current era where most kids cartoons are so limited and "pc", all creativity is lost and you are left with a monotony of similar cartoons all as bland as each other, Pickle and Peanut is refreshing, genuinely well made and extremely funny (at times). I grew up in the 80's where children's TV was AMAZING. Lets hope we get back to them times soon. I make no apologies for being a 35 year old kid who appreciates good, silly humor.

If you are a fan of Tim and Eric, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Ren and Stimpy, or other offbeat absurdist humor, you will enjoy this cartoon. It's a funny, witty cartoon that had this misfortune to be placed on the wrong network (Disney XD) and for the wrong audience (tweens). If this had been on Adult Swim, it would have been a cult sensation. I applaud Disney XD for trying produce different kinds of cartoons that are more edgy and creative to attract new viewers, and this cartoon definitely succeeds in that regard, but it was destined to fail due to the average age of the Disney XD viewer. Pickle and Peanut has a lot of parallels to Mr. Meaty in that both shows premiered on networks whose primary audience would not connect with the show, they were shown on timeslots not conducive to the audience they were made for, and the absurd nature of the show (while funny and abstract) actually turned people off. Pickle and Peanut is a very solid cartoon, the jokes are funny, the writing is good, the voice acting is great, it just didn't connect with kids.

Have three kids...two in late 20's and one fifteen. So, I have seen my share of cartoons... Now with Grand Child and younger nephews and nieces I have learned to ignore cartoons as more or less wallpaper-ish. All that said, a few weeks ago--was at my brother's home and caught this show. His children had it on but were not really watching it... Have to say the show works on many different levels. Just as goofy as Sponge Bob...but perhaps much more fun for adults.

This will become an underground favorite before it wins an award for children viewing. The animation is a bit unusual as well. Not fully computer generated...uses a few different animation techniques (e.g. 'paper cut outs' with drawn animation ).

If you can't grasp the humor in Pickle and Peanut, I feel sorry for you. The jokes are amazing. The low ratings are a let down - because of the network it's on, probably. This show belongs on CN, NOT Disney. At least there the appropriate age group would be able to appreciate it. The writing is great, the editing is phenomenal - the perfect cartoon comedy for the 80s-90s kid, especially those who had decent exposure to the early internet. I can't even begin to explain how much I've laughed... literally cried from laughing... a cartoon has NEVER done that. I even had to make an IMDb account just to put my review in because this show DESERVES BETTER. Bravo!
