Mr. Pickles

This show makes me feel like I'm going crazy. And I like that feeling.

The jokes themselves aren't really funny but are delivered in such a graphic and disturbing way and occur so rapidly that it really kind of takes you on a weird journey and then when it's over you think "what the hell did I just watch?"

I would definitely want Mr. Pickles as my own pet though. Him and Tommy are probably the most fleshed out characters. Everybody else is an insane grotesque caricature of some awful person you probably already know and in that regard I really appreciate it's scathingly sarcastic tone in regards to stupid people in general.

This is the kind of late night cartoon I have a soft spot for. Yes it's over the top, yes it's dark and twisted, yes it can be revolting; but all these things are good when they're framed in funny jokes. I like the writing, I like it's fast pace, and I enjoy the premise. Bring on more death metal dog doing frocked up things with a panting smile.

I'm sure this cartoon pisses off a lot of people and I'm sure some people find it tasteless, but honestly I think if you're willing to look past some of the more "shock" stuff, or for some people (like me) actually enjoy them, you'll see there is still clever writing and solid absurd humour. I can't say I expect this to get super popular or even for it to go on for very long, but if you like death metal, slasher movies that have subtle and twisted comedy, dirty and manic cartoons, then I think you might be the kind of person that likes this. Not that those things are all related, except that they are all offbeat from the mainstream, snobs stick their noses up at it, but yet there's something about them that entertains some of us.

I just had to give it a 10 out of 10 out of spite of the first reviews.. I'm not into satanism or anything and I think this will hit a negative cord towards anyone with any type of religious beliefs. It's not for the faint of heart or for the people into mainstream cartoons. (Unlike a couple people..) I think the storyline and setup is great. Pretty sure people based their opinion on the pilot.. You have the young blonde haired all American boy and his average looking dog, who has a terrible secret. The grandpa that gets easily mistaken for crazy, when he finds out the secret.. It fast past, gruesome, twisted, dark humor. Something a lot of people can't agree on being "funny".. but they are usually the ones who comment. The ones who couldn't see the talent and art that went behind such short episodes. I watched ALL of season 1 before reviewing this show. I suggest anyone to watch at least 3 episodes before judging.

It's like Leave it to Beaver meets Hellraiser.. There's an extremely wide range, which makes me question people who say this show has "no storyline"..

I love the show just because the plots are so ridiculous. The writers have created an absurd, ongoing situation - "Old town," with a massive telemarketing presence, a sheriff on roller skates, etc. The entire intent is so absurd that it's funny - then add a naive kid with (unexplained) leg braces, and an "evil" dog - which is actually the hero of each episode. I think what I really love are the right wing religious nuts who can't see that it is just a silly cartoon, funny in the absurdity, and think that the show is a sign of Satan at work. Sadly, these people know nothing of biblical or theological history, and are just stupid. I've watched the first season, probably three times. The animation director, or the animators themselves have added funny twists to the animations - look at the pictures on the Sheriff's wall, the magazines in the country store store, the graffiti on the bridge embankments, etc. A lot of imagination has gone into the series. A then there is Mr. Pickles. He's my best friend. Love that theme song.

I have no idea where this show will go on from here, don't see how the storyline hasn't been milked in one episode but i'm open to be surprised. Where that i do love storyline above the rest of the content, the sheer recklessness it's willing to show and cause, i believe the animators folly know what they are doing. Throwing away the plane rudeness most show try to cover up with an unguided story arch, this show confronts you with what we most like in adult cartoons. Uncensored craziness and mind-blowing creativity. Leaving dignity and respect for anything in this world behind, Mr pickles has the potential to become something memorable in the adult cartoon industry. I can't speak for the episodes to come, but the pilot is certainly a must watch if you like something that deviates from the norm. it's rude, gory and has no self-control...i love it.
