'The Nutshack' (2007-2011)
Opening thoughts: Absolutely adore animation, something that has been the case as a child and it is frequently seen still. Have always aimed to at least appreciate all kinds of humour, and have seen crude humour done well (the early seasons of 'Rick and Morty' for instance) and animated shows that broke boundaries and were ahead of their time (i.e. 'South Park'). Have though seen quite a number of bad and worse animated shows, such as 'Red Ape Family' and 'Mega Babies' in recent weeks.
'The Nutshack' (saw the whole thing by the way) is another show that is proof that not all animation is good. It is very poor and a vast majority of elements are done awfully, but actually this reviewer has seen a lot worse. As lazy and lacking in effort 'The Nutshack' was, it at least didn't offend me as such as 'Red Ape Family', 'Mega Babies' and 'High Guardian Spice' for instances. For anybody asking why people who hated this while praising 'South Park', regardless of how much it can shock, the latter at least is well made, had jokes that were witty and original, broke boundaries and had fun characters. Other than the bold boundary breaking with the diversity for 2007, 'The Nutshack' has none of that.
Good things: Did think there were good things. Chita did have some likeability and was gamely voiced.
It was great to see some diverse representation and it was a lot more tasteful and accurate than the diversity seen in 'High Guardian Spice'.
Bad things: So much is really poorly done. Including some of the worst flash animation to ever exist. There is no colour vibrancy, everything just looks flat and garish, editing is not tight enough and is often dizzying, the backgrounds lack imagination or smoothness, almost always looking static. The character designs fare the worst, some of the ugliest easily of any animated show. The music never fits and sounds at least a decade out of date. The theme tune is one of the most annoying in animation.
Nothing is funny or clever here, there is too much over-reliance on crude gross out humour that would offend even younger viewers and make parents question the target audience. The humour sounds very recycled and has no originality or subtlety whatsoever. Emotionally, there is nothing. No depth, no pathos or heart, there is not even enough emotion to be remotely sentimental. The storytelling in all the episodes is as unoriginal as one can get (very rehashed feeling actually), the world building is not immersive and is never fully fleshed out and it is very dull by the numbers in execution.
With the sole exception of Chita, the characters are obnoxious with the show going well overboard on making Phil as jerk-ish as possible. The voice acting is a mix of uninterested and hammy, the worst offenders being for Phil and Horats. That for Chita is the one exception. While the diversity is not as distasteful or as caricatured as feared (this aspect is done far better than in 'High Guardian Spice', that surprisingly was written by a trans person but written in a way that was indicative of bigotry) and enough of it is accurate, it still felt too stereotyped and simplistic.
Closing thoughts: Concluding, very poor but have seen a lot worse.
2/10.

It's The Nutshack! Wow, this cartoon was super irritating. The characters (expect Chita) have such annoying loud voices that makes my ears shed blood. The animation is mediocre, and the story and writing are just stupid and ugly. The only positive things about this show are the theme song and the Nutshack memes. This cartoon was so bad and annoying, watch the Nutshack memes instead, they're the best across the whole Internet. I give The Nutshack a 3.8/10

I tried watching one episode of it and I was immediately turned off. The animation is absolutely horrendous and the characters all look ugly as hell. Not to mention that the writing, voice acting, and jokes are just plain terrible. Would give it a 0 if I could. Don't even bother with this cartoon...

Throughout the whole series I was at the edge of my seat. Not one show I can recall goes into such deep, psychological thoughts that tug the ropes of my own well-being.
This show made me want to be a better person, and it remarks on the hardest and heaviest burdens we as simple people are too afraid to bring up ourselves.
I highly recommend this show to anyone, as the message will shine with a great tie-in at the end. I can honestly say it will wrap you in something truthful that will make you look at the entire world in a whole new, better, fresh perspective.
I enjoy the little things in life much more now, like dew on morning grass, the stars in the night sky, the world around me is much more beautiful after watching "The Nutshack."

I am disappointed. I hated this cartoon cause either Mr. Enter or RebelTaxi brought me to this. And I hate another cartoon. It was Mr. Pickles. They are both my number one least favorite cartoon. Besides, This animation is horrible. The writing is abysmal. The characters are unlike the worst characters I ever seen. And the voice acting is terrible. Phil sounds like a Elvis Presley that makes fun of someone or else. Jack sounds a creepy and chubby flatfoot. And the worst part of the series is the intro. The intro got a 100 dislikes on YouTube. And all because it got a low rating on IMDb. I am sorry but this is my least favorite cartoon of all time.

This cartoon tries too damn hard to be funny and fails miserably. The voice acting and the flash animation are also extremely irritating. But since it has a pretty small crew and a low budget i gave it 3/10 instead of 1/10. Still, it tries to be Simpsons and fails miserably. Do not watch it.
The Nutshack is a Filipino animated show that had worst acting, worst character designs, and garbage animation's. Now this thing came out in 2007, we're they take shitty effort into this show, and MyxTV had copyright issues to make this thing, and it was broadcast a year ago, but MyxTV was abandoned in 2011, yeah! DirecTV shut down in broadcast that was a bootleg. When it comes to good animations, it will have fresh ideas that people are smart. South Park is the best adult animated show of all time, and also Family Guy. this show looks like it was made by Flash, but the show was bombed in 2010's.

The Nutshack might have made for great meme fuel on YouTube, but as a show it's really awful. For a 2007-2011 TV show it sure looks a lot like an early 00's flash animation you'd seen on Newgrounds, but at least those were entertaining at the time for their primary audience. The Nutshack is a brutal endurance challenge tickle your funny bone during the opening, for a moments after it starts, and then leave you wanting to do almost anything else for the remainder of its run time. It's baffling, but it's not that interesting. You're better off reading the joke breakdowns that people have made online, or just watching the intro and calling it a day.

It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. Phillip originated from San Francisco, Jackson originated from the Phillipines. Roberto "Penis" Penisman infant He was the caretaker of Phillip and is heterosexual Jackson is refrigerated and apathetic He is still studying Number one Prunus Avium has yet to have had sex Chita, You shall now meet the so called "Freak of the week" She is Phillip's best friend, and Jackson is attracted to her But that is unlikely to happen I am shaking as if I am experiencing a seizure Wait, let me set this off and allow me to take a breath of this. I have inhaled the cannabis into my lungs I have acquired grapes, what is it that you are observing my male offspring? It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack. It is indeed the Nutshack.

I'm not a big fan of the art style, that's for sure, but I love the representation in this show. The Filipino family did a much better job at representation than other Western animation, the Mexican brawler was a funny portrayal of urban life, the forgetful stoner dude was a hilarious portrayal of hippie life, the cross dressers were very accurate with LGBT+ lifestyles, and the best part of the show was the old white dude. Hippity Hoppity Hoo!
It could have used less poop jokes and replaced that annoying monkey with that little wrestler guy from the episode that references Mortal Kombat. That would have made it better.

The Nutshack is an Adult Cartoon from the Philippines & it's one of the worst Cartoons I have ever seen Yes it's worst than Adult Party Cartoon. This Show has some of the worst animation of all time. The Characters are ugly to look at and this show makes no sense. My Advice to anyone reading my review. Stay away from The Nutshack . Nutshack more like Garbageshack 0/10

I mean, this show doesn't make any sense. This is Scaredy Squirrel for adults, but it almost felt like it was Bordertown for Filipinos or something (Brickleberry did what Bordertown couldn't, but even that seemed a bit funnier than this). The Nutshack holds the title of Mr. Enter's worst cartoons of the 2000's for good reasons. The writing makes no sense, the humor suck ass, the acting was passable at best, but various uses of animation are just stupid and pointless. None of the characters are any good, and the second season just as ametur as someone making their unfinished cartoon. If the Nostalgia Critic reviewed this crap, he'd give it a hardcore headache.

Oh my god The Nutshack has got to be one of the most disgusting shows I have ever heard from 2007-2011 the voice actors are queers, the animation is awful, the theme song is repetitive, the music is horrible, the characters are assholes and the whole show is just a mess. I would rather watch My Friends Tigger And Pooh and Sea Princesses better than this gross show from 2007.

It speaks for itself. Nothing about this show is done right. You know a show is awful when you can't even understand what the hell anyone is saying! I know people are suppose to find the good in some of the worst things but here I don't have NOTHING. How long did Adult Party Cartoon last again? 6 episodes? And this abomination got 2 SEASONS?! What has this world become?!

Oh god...here we go let me start of by saying this show is no the worst cartoon out there it's not a good cartoon but it's not the worst but I wanna start off with THEME SONG(or if I can even call it that) the theme song has got to be one of the most ANNOYING THEME SONGS OF ALL TIME!!! The theme repeadtly states it's the nutshack, it's the nutshack OVER AND OVER! with no other lyrics. Next up is the voice acting...most of the voices in this show are TERRIBLE ESPECIALLY HORATS AND PHILLS! the only voice in this show that disn't make me tear my ears off was Chitas the female character in the show. Now let's get to the animation and character designs which are also bad. then there are the plots...ima be honest some of the plots are not that bad sure some of the episodes plots are quite boring but there not terrible well i think thays it but let me give a few things a like about nutshack so here we go
What's good about it?
1.Chitas voice(as stated earlier) is decent 2.Chita is a likeable characer 3.the series finale was decent 4.the theme song while annoying it's quite catchy
Ratings Nutshack holds a 1.7/10 on imdb and is considered to be one of the worst cartoons of all time.

I have no words to describe how horrible this is. The intro just says "These are the Nutshacks" over and over and over again, flash animation is so bad compared to other flash animations it made me want to gouge my eyes out, the stereotype they put on every ethnicity, people , nationality and etc. Made me anxious. I couldn't get past the first episode of this disgrace, it's so BAD. It seems that the guys who did this took everything bad and put it in an animation, without having an ounce of love, affection or even importance in their own creation. If you want to do something, do it with love! I love bad humor, but this aberration just makes me wonder if humanity is still saved.
I almost started crying listening to the opening of this travesty and i can't figure out why that is. I also watched the first episode to see if it truly is as bad as everyone said it was and those are 21:41 minutes i will never get back. I couldn't even react to what i was watching cause it didn't feel real. I felt like i was in one of my unexplained dreams again like that one time when i fell for a random kpop star and tried saving his relationship with another kpop star but he got run over and after that his band members came and blamed me for his death. Truly insufferable. This isn't even a so bad it's good, it just is obscene.

Literally the best show about how people of color and non heterosexuals act. There's more than just Filipino rep here! My favorite portrayals has got to be Rainbow Scout and Cherry Pie. Rainbow is as promiscuous as gays act in real life while Cherry Pie sums up the trans community. I also liked the summarization of African American culture in episode 8. Jack's gangsta persona and the way Ed and Angel reacted is too real to be fiction!
If your common knowledge of inclusivity is within Disney and Cartoon Network shows then you should brace yourself if you ever come across an episode of this it will be worth it!

It's the Nutshack. It's based, keyed and schway gem.
The theme song is so bad it's good, acting is mostly bad, but Chita isn't much of a bad actress. Story can make you laugh.
If you feel like watching a show so bad it's good, watch The Nutshack.

This TV show is what they show in hell. The animation is comparable to a 90s-era Flash web animation, the editing is seizure-inducing, the voice acting is obnoxious and the writing is on par with the lame attempt at humour I hear from twelve year olds.

This has changed my life. All the characters were amazing! They inspired me (especially Tito). The theme song was the best thing I've ever heard. 10/10 theme song! This show has the best of everything. For example, they have the best animation, voice acting, and stories. Horses voice is t that annoying. It is beautiful. Over all I give this show a 393939393/1 . It is the best live action sitcom in Disneys history! Who couldn't agree more??????????????????????????????????? ?(yes this is sarcasm. The show is the worst cartoon in history, but the memes are one of the best memes after the shrek memes. So that's the review people. Don't watch this show unless you want to see how bad it is). (But it's still beautiful XD).
