    Bright Animation, Dark Fantasies

    "Monkey Dust" is a 3 season 18 episode series of a compendium of animated shorts. The animation is cheery with the bright primary colors and jaggy moves of good computer animation, combined with revisited dark and perversely humorous themes which get revisited and played upon. Themes such as badly broken relationships, implied moronic violence, and skewed motivations are rapidly brought up and dispensed with. Characters are often killed a la "They've Killed Kenny!" (reference to Southpark. There are sometimes ideas buried in the mini-plots, there are some disturbing images, but within 60 seconds you'll be off to something else. There is political critique, social observation, but if you want to gaze thoughtlessly at the moving bright images, you'll know shortly whether this is the entertainment for you. Broadcast in the early 2000s, some of the presentations are understandably dated, particularly as regards homosexuality. If you gathered from the above that the show is not for children, you are correct. Elementary school aged, preteens, should not be exposed to this.

    Another show which is less in-your-face, wilder in themes, but has less perversity and reference to sex, and ranges deep into philosophical issues if you care to follow, but not totally unlike this show would be "Xavier, the Renegade Angel". If you like Monkey Dust, you might want to check it out.

    Absolutely, disgustingly, satisfying

    One of the greatest shows on BBC, I can't believe how Harry Thompson thinks of this stuff! The show revolves around oddly coloured characters and weird settings in every-day London. This show should be on for ever and ever, and it DOES make South Park look like Scooby Doo, only this show is smarter than South Park because it actually isn't pointless. But anyway, it's dark and surreal, just the way that I like it. This film is like John Waters making animation along with help by some other great folks. I am sad, however, that the creator died...rest in peace Harry, and may your show live forever unlike you did however Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this comment as much as I did writing it, because I really hated writing it. No really, I have a bloody headache.

    addictively acidic

    'Monkey Dust' is a feast of sick animation, with sketches concerning a sad-eyed man who tells wide tales about where he's been, when he's actually been doing something muckily sexual; a reality-TV series called 'People on the Toilet', where the star eventually becomes a big big star and candidate for Pope; and other such things. There's plenty of black humour, violence, and wife-swapping which turns into cannibalism.

    Inspired humour and twisted tales make 'Monkey Dust' a must-see for fans of Jam, Spaced, and Big Train, as well as former viewers of the likes of Spitting Image.

    Violated by the TV

    After watching the first episode, I couldn't stop looking at my friend, wide-eyed and with my mouth gawping open, and repeating 'oh... my... god...'

    The humour in this show is so far removed from what anyone could ever conceive as being comedy, it's disgustingly brilliant.

    Obviously, as you become familiar with the format and the few recurring characters, you start to anticipate the horrors and thus it seems funny when they arrive in front of you, still born and deformed.

    The point is, TV is nothing these days. It's predictable and doesn't inspire emotion. Monkey Dust bucks that trend with moments so diabolical, you'll wish you were dead.

    so Cheers then!

    Darkness has The sense of humoUr

    LotR of comedy. I don't laugh when I watch this. I just curse in silence. 10 lines of text; it's below the level. It's when you wake at night and realize you didn't switch the oven off. It's how you realize your children would be like. It's your darkest nightmare and very best dream involving your high-school crush. It's how you know that you aren't dreaming; no one can imagine this "stuff". It's god godly musics. And it's not disturbing at all. Intro is pure brilliance (think mad men). 10 is all I got, 11 s what I give. The formatting in here is horrendous; you won't get bored by that when sprinkled with monkey dust. 10 lines, the obsession with volume. It's got brit accent. It's not what you think that sums it up nicely.

    • Trivia
      The show was pitched to the BBC back in 1989, but it was turned down due to the animation being too complicated to achieve. But the show was pitched again in the early 2000's, since it was possible for the animation to be done on computers.
