Sanjay and Craig

The premise isn't terribly original, boy, his talking pet, and their wild misadventures, but for people who enjoy surreal cartoons like Cow and Chicken, Ren and Stimpy, Chowder, and the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack(the creator of which, Thurop Van Orman, is a producer on the show) it's a welcome addition. The show doesn't quite reach the same greatness of those shows, and scales back some of the absurdity, but manages to still be fairly entertaining.

The cast is fairly decent here, particular note being comedian Chris Hardwick, who plays the snake Craig, and the occasional visit from Arrested Development's Tony Hale as the strange neighbor Mister Noodman, who both breathe a lot of life into otherwise stale archetypes.

The episodes can be, at times, a little overly juvenile and simple, like witnessing a butt transplant, or when a blueberry farmer acts like a gibberish spewing idiot, but shines really well with the absurdist moments and some pretty great jokes.

Though it tries not to be as extreme as the shows that preceded it, like Flapjack and Ren and Stimpy, Sanjay and Craig does suffer from the gross close-ups that these cartoons tend to rely heavily on. It's a bit stale, and at times is just annoying, but doesn't diminish an otherwise fantastic cartoon show.

It's not perfect, it's not even terribly original, but there is some great talent on the show that deserves attention, as well as perhaps the unique situation of having an American cartoon show where the main character is a mixed-race Indian child.

It's bizarre, weird, edgy, crude, and incredibly inappropriate. It's a children's cartoon that takes a big steaming dump all over media censorship while still staying just within the line of what can and cannot be aired on television.

It is a revolutionary work that has helped push the envelope beyond the realm of imagining.

Its content truly is disgusting, gross-out humor and the level of shock value and those moments when I think to myself, "What? What! WHAT!" in reaction to what I've just witnessed is what gives me cause to laugh out loud. Sanjay and Craig has often left me in tears because of how hard I've laughed at the show.

Admittedly, it isn't for everyone and I hold nothing against those who do not enjoy this sort of thing. But to those of you who feel compelled to insult its fans directly simply to express your opinion...Well, I just don't like you. Not one bit.

This show is clearly underrated...and i understand why people think its to dirty... annoying and clealry much fart jokes...but i love i. It is so funny and so freaking annoying.

Why is everybody looking down on it just because of the excessive gross out humour? There's more to this show than fart jokes.

Speaking on behalf of a fellow user on Tumblr, this show has an Indian protagonist, but really unlike Indian stereotypes you see on other shows; Sanjay is your average preteen who has a pet he loves, and with a fetish for junk food and/or video games.

Second, there are episodes which zoom in on his relationship with Craig (e.g. Chill Bill, Cuddle Buddy). It's what some best friends go through too. They do face adversities that endanger their brotherhood but they always conquer it in the end. Even the episodes that don't focus on such an issue do have their moments (e.g. Too Tuff to Watch, Hot Sauce Boss, Street Dogg).

P.s. this show has not 1, not 2, but 3 creators - so appreciate the effort that goes into all 3 of them trying to agree on the same ideas.

On the minus side the animation is terrible and the art style even ripped of Regular Show.

I watched this show while babysitting an 8 and an 11 year old and we loved it and laughed so so hard. It reminded me, the so-called grown up, of Ren & Stimpy, with its gross-out humor and absurdity, but at heart it's a show about an average, awkward kid with his best friend. The children loved it because it had all the dirty, hilarious, taboo stuff their parents would not approve of, which of course makes it completely fascinating and funny. We watched 20 minutes of kids vomiting and eating gross stuff and it was glorious. The negative reviews on here have forgotten what it's like to be a kid, when good clean fun is the equivalent of boring. There are enough squeaky clean shows about freakishly perfect, beautiful and talented children in extraordinary settings. There should be room for a show about little kids doing what they do best: goofing around and being disgusting, imaginative, awesome, little weirdos like a barf-inducing, kids version of Calvin and Hobbes.
