The Cramp Twins

I remember when this cartoon first came on Cartoon Network. I just thought "Cool, another cartoon", when the adverts were shown as I was little then and I liked my cartoons. My mum doesn't like this. It is stupid, but it is for little kids who like a cartoon to watch. I thought it was quite funny at first because of the things Wayne says like "girl pants" or "lizard breath" to his brother geeky Lucien. But it will get boring through time.

I didn't actually mind this programme. I did watch it occasionally and I still might if there's nothing on. I still love cartoons and I do still like watching Cartoon Network because some of my favourites are still on there. But if you want and unusually funny, silly cartoon to watch, tune into The Cramp Twins.

The show has some charm and fun to it. I had no idea it actually went on for 4 seasons and I can tell on a re-watch, that 4 seasons was very generous In respect to the actual depth of worthwhile content the show could churn out.

Cramp Twins is at its heart, over the top Slice of Life, following brothers Lucien and Wayne on their everyday adventures. Their everyday adventures aren't exactly normal. They live in a small city near a swamp and somehow their lives are jam packed and there's numerous ways for Lucien and Wayne to find themselves in all kinds of trouble and adventures. Side characters also play their part, the brother's friends and family act as the supporting cast and they do a decent job of it, though there's little development for any character really.

Cramp Twins has a bit of charm to it, in it's prime the humour is cynical yet passable, the character shaped out well enough and the variety in episodic segments is initially worth getting into. The show is a tad mean spirited. It loves to take a dig at its characters and make fun of them. Most of the time it's controlled but as the seasons progress the show becomes more of a joke on itself. Animation and plot suffer in the last 2 seasons of the show as the adventures become either too far fetched or bland, generally losing inspiration.

I had some fun watching this show, I rolled my eyes watching this show, in the end, it's worth it for the nostalgia, nothing else really .

Why are some twins different? Watch The Cramp Twins and you'll see that not all twins are the same, Wayne and Lucien Cramp (Wayne is the blue kid, Lucien is the normal coloured kid!) Wayne is pure evil, terrorises his brother, lives on sugar loves collecting Junk. Lucien is eco-friendly, eats healthily and is a vegaterian, knits, and hangs around The Swamp with his best friend Tony Parsons, who by the way is REALLY tiny! Thier mother is a complete neat/clean freak and their father just wants to be a cowboy all the time. They all live in Soapcity. I first caught The Cramp Twins on Cartoon Network and just thought it was so sureal, it just so funny, and it helped that i like work of the main characters, Wayne is voiced by the fab Tom 'SpongeBob Squarepants' Kenny and Lucien by Kath Soucie who is Phil and Lil from 'Rugrats' and Rodney and Megan from the equally fab show 'Baby Blues', i have looked at a lot of web sites about voice actors, and no mention of Cramp Twins are on there, i'm assuming you don't get it in America, which is weird, but hopefully, some of you may have seen it.

To be honest, I got interested in this show last year, But looking back at this today.. Well now there's black cruel spirit into it. Fox and Cartoon Network had nothing to do with it. This was a true nightmare. The biggest flaw I have with it is.. FoxBox's 1st one character they call charming Wow, praising backstabbing comic reliefs How outstanding.... But that would the be the worst character in the series That would be Wayne Cramp. He's just a mix of Sonic, Both Naruto and Sasuke, Mordecai (while being a jerk) Gumball and Bloo. And what kind of lame catchphrase would he say Girl pants. Ah, Wayne you pedophile! I never wanna see you traitor and your dirty shenanigans ever again! 5/10 Mediorce

Although this is not the best of the best that cartoon network had to offer, it's definitely way better than people claim. In fact, it's pretty good! Yes, this is not as good as courage the cowrdy dog, samurai jack or powerpuff girl, but it' a very unique and chill show which manages to be weird but still remaining chill. The humor is different from most anything else, being pretty direct and rough, not trying to be too crazy or too complex either, but it's effective and enjoyable. The world is very unique as well and it remains grounded in reality, more so than any comedy that I've seen on cartoon network, which I find fascinating. It's basically a semi-realistic, semi-comedy show that I don't think you can find anywhere else.

The downside is that it tends to be a bit bland and simplistic. Anyway, this is one of the most underrated cartoon shows along side spaced out and maybe ozzy and drix, although not as good as the last two.
