O Animado da Norma

It's obvious what they are trying to do, but these aren't professional comedians or writers so... it doesn't work at all. There is no subtlety or nuance, it's just standard political talking point after talking point. They even had to utilize a laugh track... on an animated show in 2024... because they knew the audience needed to be prompted when to laugh as the material isn't capable of doing that on its own. Shows like these and "comedians" like JP Sears and "intellectuals" like Dave Rubin are why all conservatives are now a laughing stock... even the rational ones are feeling the stain of these maga morons. Soooo many people can't tell that they are being ideologically grifted, they believe anything that shifts responsibility for their problems on to other people. They can't take cultural change so they blame the culture for doing what it always does over time - change. Keep up or sit this one out... just stop pretending it's the world's fault for not agreeing with you and everyone not totally in sync is evil. That's a "you" problem.

This show may only have a singular, three-minute episode released as of now... but this one was awful. If you thought Mr. Birchum was lousy, then you are in for a real treat.

The show stars some old man who is trapped at home due to "the liberal technology" or whatever... Dude could easily just destroy the device that locks him at his house.

The humor is also dull, to the point where they added a laugh track (I get the Flintstones had one, but the 60s were a different time...).

If you want to watch a good cartoon with a heroic Republican protagonist, just watch King of the Hill instead. Hank Hill would run circles around this old Grandpa.

This show did something I didn't think a 4 minute show could do. It took the "I hate transpeople" trope and beat it to death, then kept beating the corpse. Thankfully it told you where the funny parts were by providing a laugh track. The best part of this "comedy" was the shameless sucking up to Elon Musk with a completely pointless and non-plot related silent cameo and the "we love X" lyrics in the end theme.

The best thing that can be said about this is is that is was slightly less painful than root canal surgery and is very much a shorter experience.

If you like edgy comedy go back to South Park, CO. Parker and Stone manage to actually hit the mark and hit everyone pretty well equally.

What can anyone say about this atrocity of the Internet. The audio engineering is beyond amateurish and takes you out of the piece before it's barely begun. The voice work was absolutely terrible.

The animation's okay but this is CRINGEY and STEALS concept points from 'All in the Family' & dishonors it with 6th-grade level humor. The humour (all based on conservative talking points) is not even funny on the one level it presents itself.

I make this assessment as someone with over 40 yrs in production, from scriptwriting, voice-over (yes, in animation), audio engineer, photography, and videographer.

Pass on this disaster. It is a shallow, humourless political shots that would be found entertaining only by the most poorly educated. There is better political animation out there.

The lack of stars comes from "The New Norm" being a very bad production and has nothing to do with political leanings.

If you have any family or friends that have fallen for MAGA, then you have heard these "jokes" ad nauseum already. They were written by someone with the emotional maturity of a teenager that has discovered Ayn Rand or Jordan Peterson, whose comedic and political education is limited to memes. Puts on full display the incredibly inaccurate facts that MAGA holds to support their beliefs.

South Park has challenged similar themes, and they at least have some originality. That this got Apartheid Ford's stamp of approval also shows that his level of sophistication is that of a McDonald's happy meal.
