Mr. Meaty

Actually, my husband and my daughter LOVE this show! Its quirky, and creepy, and just plain not right.. BUT.. that is a good thing in our house! You have to appreciate its genius humor, and look beyond what you first see. The subtle script is clever, and the puppets, are just so ugly it works. So thumbs up for us, I hope they can maintain the humor and give us great new episodes soon. I agree that Nik has gone down hill and some of their new shows are horrible. My kids watch F- odd parents , spongebob, and mr meaty , and that is about it. Everything else stinks for the most part. My kids cant buy " Nik" games because they don't watch enough of the shows to answer the questions.

When the first few clips of Mr. Meaty started to run on Nickelodeon, I'll admit it looked incredibly stupid. Two weird main characters who seemed to spend all of their time making up stupid things to do when they were bored. But when the 15-30 minute shows started to air, I realized it was an incredibly funny and creative show. Generally most kid's shows are recycled plot lines (not that there aren't a few in Mr. Meaty) and bad jokes...but Mr. Meaty was pretty creative. The main characters are a pair of teenagers named Josh and Parker, who work at (where else?) a fast food place called 'Mr. Meaty'. Now, this isn't your deep philosophical statement about life...that would be ridiculous for a kid's show. But it IS fun, and worth watching several times over.

God should smite those who had any involvement whatsoever in this TV show's creation.

Both the characters and the story of Mr. Meaty are the pinnacle of disgust. There are absolutely NO redeeming qualities present. Though I have tried to forget for over a decade, the memories of Mr. Meaty still flood my consciousness, particularly when I am trying to fall asleep. It is pure, raw, and intense nightmare fuel. No amount of therapy can erase the damage that has been inflicted on my psyche by Mr. Meaty. I'll see their faces and hear their voices in my head for as long as I live. But can you really call that "living?"

Recommended only to the most determined of mental masochists.

UNIHORN! (Name of my favorite Meaty episode.)

I don't have time to enumerate all the great aspects of this show (the fellow from St. Petersburg wrote 2000+ words, so rely on him). Mr. Meaty, as ugly and ungainly as it appears, is one of the funniest kids shows I have ever seen. The precision of the Valley speak parody is dead-on, even though the name of the mall, "Scaunchboro" conjures up something out of Rhode Island or suburban Boston.

Jimmy Neutron may have more clever quips per minute, but its stories do not resonate with the authenticity of Mr. Meaty. The mullet-ed teenagers and posturing mall rats bring a lot of California memories for me (born in LA, raised in Sacramento).

I will be grief-stricken if they do not bring back Mr. Meaty. And I'm 42.

The show isn't great, but I feel like this show got hate based from the design of this show. Some people just assume a show's rating just by the visuals. Don't get me wrong, I do think the character designs are kind of ugly and weird, but the show does have a unique style of visuals. Obviously, the show isn't meant for kids under 7 because it could be frightening for them. I feel as though the show's design was trying to aim for kids 10 and older as it is tween or teen pandering. The visuals remind me of something from Comedy Central or Adult Swim.

For the show itself, it's not too bad. I've watched a few episodes, and I was mildly entertained. It's definitely not amazing, but some episodes were fairly decent. The comedy is decent, the stories are pretty basic, and the characters are okay. While this show isn't something you should watch right away, I think it's at least worth one watch for older audiences. This show is nothing special, but I do think it deserves maybe one watch for the older kids or teens.
