Oggy et les cafards

To me "Oggy" is the best thing that happened since "Tom and Jerry" (the old ones).

German TV is now showing "Oggy" at the children's hour, which to me is quite strange as I think the often cruel, violent as well as anarchistic and also surrealistic humour is not exactly child-conform. To really enjoy the show you should accept its sheer nonsense world where natural laws no longer exert their power and everything is possible.

You should also love the extremely kitsch coloured conformistic suburban dwelling of Oggy and his fellows with its highly imaginative wall-papers and pictures on the walls. And hospitals with super-sized syringes on their roofs serving as "guide-signs" and never ending staircases and a tour into outer space every now and then and and and... ....maybe it's no mistake either to like a certain New York based punk-band with DeeDee and Joey being two of the cockroaches.

I am of course very fond of Oggy and his antagonists, they are so human. Another thing I enjoy is that the whole of them are so malicious and still, from time to time, every one of them gets his.

So my hope is that this show will run on for ever.

I must strongly disagree with person who says that this cartoon is stupid. Of course, jokes seem to be like Warner Bros' jokes, but they really aren't, Oggy's jokes far more cynical and full of irony. Also unrealistic situations that happen so often are just a plus to the whole. Surrealistic environment of this cartoon offer a completely new perception of world show that the world is not what we see but what we want to see.

"Oggy and the Cockroaches" can't be compared to no cartoon I've ever seen, and that makes it so good and original. It must not be seen as common entertainment, but as a unique and deep look at the world.

This cartoon is perfect in every way.

I normally never watch children's programmes, but whenever I see that "Oggy" is on, I always take the time to watch it. To me it doesn't seem like a cartoon for children, it is very adult like. With it's strange futuristic buildings, and weird animals it is quite political. And of course it is great fun.

This show is simply amazing.Real fun every time I see this blue cat get his butt kicked by these nasty cockroaches.Surely a rip off of good all warner bros cartoons but a freaking nice rip off!! The plot is as simple as that.You can see the daily adventures of Oggy,the blue cat who loves comfort and most of all his house.He lives with his supposed cousin jack, a green cat.There's also a nasty dog as neighbour and of course those 3 insects.

Graphically,the show is really nice to watch,with fresh and eye catching colors coupled with some nice CGI images.Fast paced and hilarious,the show lacks dialogues but compensate with funny sounds and most of all of a ground breaking intro.If you want to relax and have a good time,just watch this show where the cat is not always the looser!!!

It has been a long time since a cartoon of this merit has been seen. Clearly the influences are such animation greats as Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Hannah Barbera, and ironically Jerry Lewis. Oggy and the Cockroaches has some brilliant scores in it. I love how they do not say a word in the cartoon but rather use music to make all their expressions. Musically the show is amazing. The show also incorporates a good use of computer animation. Another added bonus is how the cockroaches are named after 3 Ramon's members (Joey, Dee Dee, Marky) I do not know if this is a coincidence or not but it is still amusing. Overall a great cartoon that s not afraid to BE A CARTOON!
