Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio

Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio is last great animated show.

Read the other reviews on this page. Think about those reviewers.

People who don't understand comedy seem to virulently hate this show. I mean, the kind of mediocre corn-fed clones who are responsible for Will Ferrell's career. People who still hang out at the mall.

In a perfect world, people who don't think this show is funny would be fed to starving third-world children and we'd all live in peace forever.

Instead we have all our entertainment dictated by the lowest-common-denominator, low-brow, coke-ravaged, sex-driven, money-obsessed and all the other hyphenated filth that keep the human race from flourishing and evolving into its next stage of existence.

Comedy haters will outnumber us one day. That day is soon.

I give thanks to the Neely for delivering this gift in our time of need.

Seems like there's a lot of hate for this on here, but I for one really, really love it. It's amazing how resentful people can be if you don't make them laugh.

After 6 episodes there's only been a couple of skits that didn't raise some amusement in me and quite a few that made me do that hard sought after response comedy writers seek- laughing out loud.

The nature of the show means ideas are dispensed with as quickly as they are established, and quite often it's the suggestion of these ideas being more fleshed out that is hilarious in itself. Pre-teen with a Predator Head? Amazing. Polygamists of the Trees? Brilliant. Other sketches are fully formed jokes, or catchy, absurd songs. Looking forward to the release of Fruit Bloods album.

So yeah, don't let the terrible reviews put you off. You might just love it as much as me.

TL;DR This is my favorite show

I loved China, Il, but Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio is truly the best show I've ever seen. It's one of the best pieces of art I've ever seen. It is a sketch comedy show that primarily riffs on TV and modern culture, with an extreme dose of absurd-ism injected throughout.

I have personally found every single skit to be funny in at least some way; the idea itself, the animation, the dialogue, or even just the life put into the characters by the voice actors. For example, I found the Bruce Willis skit another review mentioned hilarious primarily because of all the different ways the voice actor said Bruce Willis. Every time he said the name it was with a different pace and inflection that struck just the right chord of comedy to me, in addition to to the scene being very reminiscent of a certain scene in Being John Malkovich. Every episode features a guest star which includes the likes of Andre 3000, Jeffrey Tambor, and Ilana Glazer (she's actually a writer on the show and in every episode, don't let IMDb's out of date information fool you)

Some of the sketches are actual poetry. One sketch is a monologue called Human History with Andre 3000 (read by Andre 3000) which reflects on both how far and little we have come as a race since cave people. Another one talks about the plethora of options presented in modern society and subtly suggests they are all meaningless.

And as a last response to some of the negative reviews, trying to explain how I feel they have misinterpreted the show. There are a series of skits throughout the season which starts of as "Ya know, I always imagine (some celebrity)..." and proceeds to describe the absurd way presumably Brad Neely perceives these celebrities. It's always a fantastic absurd story somehow based off the celebrity. One example is when he talks about how Donald Trump wears 2 live goats for shoes, as a symbol of his opulence. Another review mentioned the band Fruit Blood and merely stated they wear BDSM gear. Most members of the band are actually wearing a fantastic combination of BDSM gear and extravagant Brazilian Carnival regalia, while the drummer lays on the floor in a banana suit near death in every episode. Also 2 female mannequins play the keyboard and the mannequins dance along with the band.

And as a last last note, the songs are AMAZING, even better than in China, Il. A number of them will get stuck in your head no matter what you do. Please watch this show it is beautiful <3

its creative, fun and i just cant put my finger on what makes it good but it seems to speak to me. its random as hell and its variety of skits are pretty zany, plus i love the intro with the dancer. i think the shows are just the right length. i like the animation style very pythonesque humour. its creative, fun and i just cant put my finger on what makes it good but it seems to speak to me. its random as hell and its variety of skits are pretty zany, plus i love the intro with the dancer. i think the shows are just the right length. i like the animation style very pythonesque humour. its creative, fun and i just cant put my finger on what makes it good but it seems to speak to me. its random as hell and its variety of skits are pretty zany, plus i love the intro with the dancer. i think the shows are just the right length. i like the animation style very pythonesque humour.

I could only think of one appropriate way to introduce this show and that is with an homage to the introductory monologue from The Big Lebowski:

-----

Now this story I'm about to unfold took place back in the mid 2010s-- just about the time of our conflict with Syria and Isis . I only mention it 'cause some- times there's a show--I won't say a masterpiece, 'cause what's a masterpiece?--but sometimes there's a show.

And I'm talking' about Harg Nallin' here-- sometimes there's a show that, wal, he's the show for its time'n place, it fits right in there--and that's the Harg Nallin', on |Adult Swim|.

Okay so like the introduction here says, this is a show that if aired at any other point in time it would probably have been out of place. This show is really a stroke of absolute genius and if you were a fan of the show Monkey Dust http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386224/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 and the dark, sardonic, ongoing sketch based humor format Harg Nallin' is going to be a show you need to see. Really it's a genius project and Brad Neely has definitely shown the right to put his name at the beginning of this. It's kind of got an oldschool Brad Neely comics kind of feel with familiar characters, voices, and scenes with brilliant background animation that both draws your attention but is utterly irrelevant to the main point each moment is trying to make.

This isn't a project for the well adjusted, this isn't for the fan of Big Bang Theory, it's not a show for people that love prime-time TV, in that same sentence it probably won't do well with Robot Chicken fans or fans of other fringe series. The people this show is going to appeal to is a small group but it's a group that's been watching Neely's shows since China, IL and all the way back to his early work where he first introduced Babyface and Steve. It's going to be a marginalized group of freaks who grew up on PeeWee's Playhouse, dark humor late night cartoons back when CC did that kind of show, or people that have ventured into other countries' entertainment to find something with which they connected if even from a third person of a third person. I'd say that the show isn't intended to be funny on it's own in it's own content, but I'd be wrong; it's a difficult humor to explain, it's just something you get or you don't.

Every once in a while there's a show that's perfect for it's time, and Harg Nallin' is that show.
