Crash Canyon

Just binged the whole series... Still waiting to laugh at anything. That's not even the bad part. The animation is SO wonky! Characters flash white when they move and once you see it, you'll never not notice. It almost looks as if they go into "ghost mode" everytime they move. I noticed during the pilot episode and figured they'd fix it in future episodes... Nope. It's the same for the run of the entire series. After a couple episodes, it made me nauseous, and I had to look away for quite awhile then I could only watch in about 5 minute increments afterwards without getting physically sick. Never happened with another cartoon.

I absolutely love this show. It is original, quirky and completely one of a kind. Everyone is quick to compare it to the Simpsons or other "similar shows"... Really, if you want something like The Simpsons, you will probably hate the heck out of this show. However, if you are looking for something that is a little whacked and very funny in a "WTF" type way, look no further! With such characters as Coma Steve and Dummy, it fills my need for slapstick, wordplay and torture (& tortured) humour all in one slap to the face. I do hope this show is around long enough to become a cult classic.

15 cult lovin' thumbs up!

I was watching South Park on VIVA and for some reason Crash Canyon came on instead of one of the South Park episodes, being lazy as hell I didn't want to change the channel and just watched the Crash Canyon episode, this was possibly one of the strangest experiences of my life. I don't know if it was because I had just watched about 4 episodes of South Park but the stale, boring humor, bland, annoying voices and seriously unoriginal and unfunny characters literately made me feel sick, I'm honestly not joking, the jokes were so unfunny that I found myself cringing through at least 80% of the episode, I may be a bit quick to judge seeing as I've only seen the one episode but after reading other user's reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who dislikes this program. I can see where it tried with the randomness and attempted LOL moments but unfortunately it failed miserably, so much so that I made an account just to leave this review. If you're looking to roll on the floor laughing I suggest South Park or newer Family Guy episodes.

Lets get this out of the way first, aside from the various other cartoons it rips off, Crash Canyon is trying so hard to be Canada's Family Guy that it get very distracting.

The setting is very restricted. Being stuck down a canyon means this sitcom is stuck with the same situation which leads to the plots becoming very stale.

The jokes are the same as Family Guy: cutaways. And by the same I mean they use exact the same jokes as Family Guy. The worst thing is I think they know their humour isn't working so when they think the audience is supposed to laugh they put in an obnoxious musical cue. That's desperation.

The characters a bland. Again so many characters ripped off from Family Guy, Simpsons, American Dad, the list goes on.

And of all things the theme song is irritating beyond belief. So much high pitched singing!

Bottom line: It's crap. Limiting premise, failed jokes and poor animation. Wanna watch something exactly the same but funnier? Watch Family Guy.

Ah. Yes. Crash Canyon. I still remember in 2012, when people we're hyped by this oddity, because a Simpsons writer was involved, there was some though this show would be decent, but it seems that "Simpsons Writer" wasn't really as "good" as they though to be, because this show turned out into massive bull when it came out. Even so, i think teletoon was literally trying to get rid of this show after his original release, because there was no in-channel advertising and it was playing really late, uniquely.

Really. I may sound hysterical, but this literally makes shows like Fugget about It look worth while, compared to this. I still even regret starting this review and even paying attention to this show yet again, but there i did.

So many things to say about this already, from the awful writing, to the boring and predictable plots, to really ugly and bland design choices, to annoyingly awful voice acting, to all the characters that are oblivious bland copy and pastes of Seth McFarland trope characters, to finish with animation being as robotic and uninteresting that couldn't even compare to those amateur flash animation on the internet, but i'm not even going to bother to go further in details, thats how little i care. Everything about this show is simply wrong, and already, i probably don't need to specify, since i think people did some justice about this show before me.

So, to finish with, i'm glad Teletoon decided to get rid of this horrid monstrosity, it was a fault since the start, it deserved a 4.0 and even lower, and the people who made this clearly didn't have thoughts or even ideas clear on what they were dealing with. I rest my case.
