Dan vs. is very original and entertaining. The characters are very familiar to views because we all know someone that takes EVERYTHING personally. Thankfully, most of those people just go thru life sulking and unhappy. Dan, on the other hand, takes it to the next level and plots real revenge. His buddy Chris, who's laid back and mostly cares about his next meal, is always along for the ride, usually as a chaperon to Dan's antics. This show is very funny and even kid-safe. Dan is a human version of Daffy Duck run amuck, and Chis is the easy-going, if not as clever, Bugs. I miss the old days when cartoons were witty and smart without resorting to shock value. Curses to The Simpsons and Family Guy.
You will either love or hate this show ...there is no in between. Slightly offensive, ridiculously hilarious, and unequivocally brilliant...I can't say enough about this show. The writing is everything, the voice actors are amazing, and all in all not a moment of my precious time was wasted watching - every minute was well spent and worth it. This show is shamefully UNDERRATED and better than most cartoons ever hoped to be.
I adored this show when I first saw it a few years ago. I watched the entire show within days and I was so sad when it was over. I heard they're thinking of rebooting it so I just want to put the word out that I LOVE this show. It has so much potential for a reboot, it was ahead of its time in terms of writing, and I know for a fact there is fan interest in the series to this day. VIVA DAN VS
What's not to love about this show? It's got action, slapstick, observational humor, a weirdly sympathetic antihero on a mission of rage and vengeance, and a generally insane yet somewhat accurate depiction of life in Los Angeles. By that I mean that things tend to catch on fire with no provocation - but it's also the only cartoon I've ever seen that depicts day-burning street lamps in the scenery. That's attention to detail right there, to say nothing of the scenes in the show you can actually identify as real LA places. Sig alerts, sequestration, Silicon Valley; they might as well say "shot on location," because it's basically the real world in irony-laced ink. You can also play "who's that voice?" with the frequent guest VAs. The writers do an excellent job of keeping the characters consistent and the character development progressing smoothly, and the show has a definite continuity, but one that doesn't impede just jumping in anywhere.
Other reviewers have some discouraging things to say about the Flash animation, but having been raised on Homestar Runner and other web cartoons I can tell you that as Flash animation goes, this show is just about top notch. And the Dan Vs. animators manage to largely avoid the phenomenon of significant asset reuse that seems to plague most other symbol-based cartoons (Jimmy Neutron, Foster's Home, et cetera). This might be due to the background art having this funky watercolor style that scintillates into the character art.
Everything else positive I could say about the show has already been said by others. I'm just telling you what I've noticed. It's a great cartoon; watch it.

I checked this show out after The Mysterious Mr Enter review it. And I'm glad I did. Dan vs. is one of the most underrated and funny shows I have ever seen. The humor is well thought out and smart. The show unlike a lot of other adult animated cartoons doesn't make a lot of references to real world events which makes it more enjoyable. There's not much more I can say except that it's really funny. Definitely check it out. You won't regret it.
