A Melhor Família Feliz dos EUA

I laughed so hard as this reminded me of my upbringing in an immigrant family attempting to assimilate in a new country, but only making it worse as we could not shake off what the local folks called "strange culture behaviour" (Sicilians associated with those gangsters. So you could say that after the release of The Godfather, our lives was never the same as we had to live up to the hype). But this animation series has an edge as it deals with Muslims living in New York on the aftermath of 9/11. To top it all off, it is blessed with the comedic talents of Ramy Youssef, as writer and the voice of the young Rumi Hussein, trying so hard to just be a normal kid, but met with racial intolerance and other obstacles associated with the horrors of pubescence. A fresh perspective on growing up in a hostile environment with a zany family making it even more complicated for poor Rumi...

I'm in the midst of watching the show and the animation style is solid, it's fun that it takes place in the '90's, and I can tell it has an overall positive message to send.

I know I'm not the target audience for the content I just don't quite get it yet. It hasn't made me laugh once. I believe that it's probably targeted towards adult first generation Americans which is cool 😌

Does the grandma turn up again? I really enjoy the code switching conversations and how the codes match the time period. I find the disclaimer at the beginning a bit unique though South Park does the same thing 👌

The whole student seducing teacher concept I could go without unless they build it up to something terrible I'd like to see that.

I would like to have a bit of a dialogue with a fellow film major about what consists of offensive versus tongue in cheek for depictions of nonwhite characters in adult animation. A few months ago I watched that animated reboot of good times and it was raked across the coals for being offensive. But I need to stay in my own lane as a Caucasian person I know 👍

Anyway it's a nice animation style, and a thought out premise and doing a retro vibe is cool. I think maybe I just like my animation a bit goofier? Something like that.

Sitting amidst the many derivative adult family sitcoms, #1 Happy Family USA stands out as portraying Middle Eastern immigrant cultures, warts and all. In some ways it is reminescent of The Boondocks, using satire to comment both on internal problems as well as discrimination. Like that series this one may hit too close to home for some, so take it with discretion.

The animation is relatively fluid compared to most other adult sitcoms in recent history. The character designs themselves remind me of Cartoon Saloon's work, with flat colors and big, vibrant irises.

Overall a strong recommendation.

The meaning of the series is conveyed correctly. Muslims caused the tragedy of 9/11, Muslims hate democracy and the United States. Muslims are very committed to their religion, and it says that all non-Muslims in the world should be destroyed or converted to this religion of worshiping terrorism. They oppress their women, wrapping them in black rags, leaving only their eyes. Muslims still arrange sacrifices for the sake of religion every year. This is wild in our modern society. And these people come to us in the US and continue to hate us. Be careful. And never forget 9/11. Long live the USA!

This is an amazing animated comedy. It captures how life must have really been during that horrible period in history, but with an unapologetically funny take on it. It's definitely absurd comedy at its finest. Amazing show and I really hope there's at least a season 2. It may not make sense at first but it gets better and better with every episode. It's worth a watch and it reminds me of a concept adopted from classic animated comedy series. Ramy Youseff is a genius and it's a hilarious thing to put on. (Sorry for the yap I gotta meet a minimum required character to even publish this comment)
