Stickin' Around

This show was one of the best Canadian animated shows ever.

Yes, to an adult seeing this show for the first time, Stickin' Around seems like a stupid, poorly-drawn show. But when I saw this as an eight year old, it was the funniest thing on Earth. And now when I go back to Canada to visit, I always make sure I watch this show. The guy (I think named Dill) is so funny. I call him "the guy with the wiggling socks". And that girl who always drags around her dead dog named pepperoni, it is hilarious. It is that kind of show that is made by the wierd comedy.

What kind of cheap animation was this? I saw this cartoon once on a Saturday morning while I was waiting for my friends to come pick me up to go to the mall. I have to say that this is the absolute worst piece of rubbish (since The Simpsons) I have seen in my life! The animation was all a bunch of cheaply drawn stick figures and the characters were all, as Richard Pryor would say, "null, dull, and void"! Stickin' Around was a celluloid piece of animated trash!

Just look at the title, itself. A 6 year old would hate this! The kids in the cartoon acted like the usual smart-alleck kid on a sit-com. Of course, there were also the antagonist bullies. There was just nothing good about this, no humor, no in depth storyline, even the dialogue was lame. Sometimes I wonder if this cartoon was really unpopular with kids at the time it was out.

Don't get me started on that character 'Dill'. What were they thinking? And when I looked this show up, I learned it actually had 2 seasons! This crap makes Beavis and Butthead look funny! Well, at least this cartoon is totally forgotten into oblivion.

I must say that i would rate this animated show 7/10. Very enjoyable. So, the characters look like they were drawn by a two year old, the point is that the comedy is hilarious. Nice use of colour to portray every day scenes. Any person can relate to the characters, and i think the voices are done excellently. I sure hope that they make another series. The characters themselves are very well made. I love he theme song too. The scenes are very realistic too. The school building looks like a real school unlike some animations like "The Simpsons". It follows the lives of a group of children and some adult humanoids. All in all i think it's a great filler of spare time that any network should have.

I had just gotten home from the hospital after a bout of pneumonia and I was parked in front of the TV with my niece and there was nothing on but Daytime TV garbage and I wound up on the Qubo channel and a squiggly looking cartoon dealing with a battle with vomit zombies. We just sat glued to the TV for the next hour laughing our heads off.

We were both hooked and every day at 3pm it' son whether she's there or not. It's one of those rare kid shows (in the states at least) that also has things for adults in it as well.

My Niece now also has a pretty mean Stacy impersonation and the whole "Uranus" Schtick has become a running gag with us to disrupt family gatherings and those that take things too seriously.

It's done by Nelvana studios and if you want to see some more of their brilliantly absurd shows, try Ned's Newt, Grossology (Which airs at dinner time here but doesn't stop us from watching it) and Being Ian.
