La famiglia Paloni: speciale Halloween

If you're a fan of Rick n Morty or Solar Opposites, this is the Halloween Special for you. Justin Roiland teams up with a bunch of undiscovered animators who create their own 3-5 minutes Halloween shorts in a chance to impress both Hulu and the viewers over the next hour. The A or Main story involves 3 humanoids (one voiced by Roiland himself) hosting the special in order to stay on Hulu's good grace, only for it delove quickly as they must take their cousin Trick-R-Treating. The A story definitely has some strong Solar Opposite vibes, from the animation style to the intentional 4th-wall breaking Hulu references, even down to the perosnalities of the host and various side characters. While there are some laughs and the A story gets better as it goes on, it's the shorts that really steal the show (which is the point).

Each short is uniquely different and memorable, yet still equally creepy and hilarious. Some shorts genuinely made me say "oh my god" or wtf, but all of them had me laughing by the end. All in all, this show was a very fun take on Halloween and gave me a lot of laughs. If you enjoy Justin Roiland's work and love Halloween, definitely give this show a watch!

Arguably the "last" Roiland vehicle before all the nasty stuff came out for proper and pleasingly it's only fragments of his sweaty existential foolishness wrapped around this loose anthology/showcase format. It's a huge shame for the other creators involved that this was (and will continue to be) fairly overlooked because there's some real diamonds here. Cult flash folk like David Firth & gory claymaster Lee Hardcastle are on strong form but I was introduced to the slack brilliance of Michael Cusack and whatever Rafillo or Jaime Rodriguez are. Utterly transcendent bits of animation, and consistently funny.

This was sooooo good. I grew up on this kind of stuff and have been following some of these artists for a long time. I find it kind of hilarious some of the reviews I'm reading talking about plot as if that even matters. If you remember watching videos like "gonads and strife" or "homestar runner" or if you love interdimensional cable in Rick and Morty, you will love this. I am adding more words because I need 300 characters but it is important that you know that if you don't like this special it is simply because you are not cool, sorry. It was lovely to see Roiland showcasing all these incredible artists and I really hope they do this again next year. P. S. Hit up Screamerclauz, he would have fit in perfectly in this special<3.

It really is just old YouTube, you can really see Zach's influence. It honestly doesn't work that well with the Rick and Morty writers that well. It would have better if it was just Zach. Them together gives off like an odd David Lynch esque slapstick comedy. I wouldn't watch it if you're over 30, most of the jokes are anti humor and are carried by the obscure dialogue on top of the obscene situations.

This review does require me to type more. I feel like I typed enough. I don't really have anything else to say. I said what I needed to say. I haven't had a character constraint since highschool.

The opening mirrors "Solar Opposites" and foreshadows the disaster that accompanies any project giving Justin Roiland full creative control. This special proves to be a forest fire of weird sketches and over-the-top body horror that seem way too familiar to "Rick and Morty" fans. The show recycles jokes and it quickly evolves into a tv show aimed at entertaining morons.

Remember Detective Baby Legs, who was paired with Detective Regular Legs? Now we have Long Legs in "The Paloni Show," isn't that funny?! Remember the "Personal Space" guy on Interdimensional cable that needed space so he ripped his skin off, well now we have the same idea in this special, but the people are literally bananas! Hahahah get it?!

I hate this. I hate all of this.
