Chicago Party Aunt

Man, you would not BELIEVE the amount of backlash this show got when it was first announced. When the first images of the show were released online, people VERY quickly attacked this show for (aside from this being based off of a Twitter account) being a "generic adult animated comedy", which I always hated the stereotype of. The stereotype that "all adult cartoons look the same" and that "Family Guy is to blame for the downfall of modern adult animation", which is NOT true, by the way. There are plenty of good adult cartoons out there, you guys just aren't looking hard enough. And yes, adult toons with "that" art-style can be really funny at times (i.e. Disenchantment, Duncanville, Final Space etc.). Come on, guys. Be fair for once.

Oh, and about Chicago Party Aunt. It's alright. It's not amazing but it occasionally has its moment or 2. There's not really that more to say about it. 6.7/10.

I expressed disdain at the show when it was announced, mainly for being based on a Twitter gimmick account (yes, really) and for having that samey adult animation style. I finally watched it, and it's surprisingly not bad.

I'm not from Chicago, so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.

Voice Acting - 2/2. You can't go wrong with Lauren Ash. I loved her as Scorpia in She-Ra, and she brings a lot of life to Diane.

Characters - 1/2. Diane is a hard-drinking, partying hedonist with a disheveled lifestyle. When her nephew comes to live with her, the show sets up an arc about learning to care for others. Pretty interesting.

Writing - 1/2. Again, you'll only really appreciate it if you're from Chicago yourself.

Animation - 1/2. Yet another show with the generic adult animation art style. Like with The Harper House, you could make this into a live action sitcom and nothing would change.

Music - 1/2. The rock soundtrack is great, but it's another victim of the lack of a theme song and a generic title card intro.

UK reviewer and some jokes I didn't understand. Definitely an alternative to family guy etc. If you like rude, crude and stupid jokes, then definitely you'll find this funny. Hoping for a 2nd season thanks netflix.

The CPA Twitter fees has been really funny for years. The show is decent and has a few good laughs, but is very specific for a Chicago audience and for people who grew up in pre2000's Chicago, when Chicago was full of blue collar SNL Super Fan types. A few nitpick details - Diane should be from the Southside or south suburbs.

Diane is a clone of Nicole Sullivan's mad tv sketches. I think that's why others reviews say it's like 90s comedy...
