Korgoth of Barbaria

Pilot episode was AMAZING.. Watch this when it comes out, you'll love it, and i want more. Its all about beer, sex, and killing. Manly things that men do, and even incorporates Dungeons & Dragons, i could picture this sort of thing in a Role-Playing adventure even. All set to a Thrah/Heavy Metal soundtrack which sounds amazing(I hope they sell it). If you thought Family Guy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force were good shows, then Korgoth will blow you away, and unlike Family guy, Korgoth's obscenities are pretty forward and easy to understand. you might want to take caution of your kids watching this, although my little brother loved it.

This is the kind of show America has been needing for a long time. Blood, Violence and the occasional maiden in distress. Korgoth meets all the needs of teenagers who are tired with the Disney channel and Nickelodeon cartoons. This show needs to be kept alive for as long as possible. The best part of the show is that you don't expect what comes next. He may ride a giant bird, or chop a body in half. This randomness doesn't occur often in cartoons, well neither does a lot of blood and violence. Thank you Aaron Springer for creating this show.

... that can explain just how awesome this 'toon is. If you find animated violence offensive, run far, far away, as fast as you can. If you, like me, find it to be excellent in the ways of humor and/or stress relief, then Korgoth is PERFECTION. The men are ugly, guttural, simplistic and brutal. The woman are beautiful and maidenly. The battles are gruesome and fantastic, unbridled violence, gore and bloodshed in the extreme. To top it all off, it's funny as all hell! The humor comes at you at multiple levels starting with basic low-brow bathroom jokes leading up to amusing parodies of more subtle situations. Obviously, while a cartoon, this is intended only for adults. Kids, turn it off and go to bed, already! Make more episodes, for God's sake and, Cartoon Network, air them, please!

So there's only been one episode so far and it might be the best new cartoon in ages. Korgoth is a Brock Sampson meets Conan brute who only speaks in raspy one-liners provided by Diedrich Bader who leads ultra violent adventures filled with sexy interchangeable women and ugly interchangeable henchmen. All of this is accompanied by some serious asskicking power metal. This show dances the line between being an homage to 80s 2D animation and a parody of it. I'm glad adult swim allows entertainment like this to air. The shows creator worked on Spongebob and occasionally you can see it in the animation, esp the character movements and expressions. All around very funny and entertaining show, I hope it sticks around.

If you like splatter movies and film/ comic violence in general, this is the show for you! Great dialog, great everything. Personally I think this is the very best cartoon show on TV by the creature of Spongebob! And seeing that this is the first episode, I think the best ones are yet to be made. Not that the pilot is bad or anything. I love the fact that Korgoth is a straight forward type: when he get's a chance, he makes love to a chick, when he gets angry, he punches someone down. You just have to love him. So do check out the series for your and the shows sake. This is a hit waiting to be seen by those who do and those who don't like it!
