The Paloni Show! Halloween Special!

The only reason I heard about this was from following Joel Haver and I made an account to tell you about it. You'll see a lot of familiar art styles and might recognize a lot of the people who put work into this collection of mostly animated shorts. It's pure fun. IDK what the haters are jabbering about. This is the type of media where you probably know what you're getting into, and it delivers. A legend from beyond the grave even voices a character. In the age of awful pandering BS, Hulu delivered a collection of talented people who just wanted to make something you can grab a bowl of teeth rotting candy and sit down to enjoy. Anybody complaining about this needs to eat a Snickers.

It really is just old YouTube, you can really see Zach's influence. It honestly doesn't work that well with the Rick and Morty writers that well. It would have better if it was just Zach. Them together gives off like an odd David Lynch esque slapstick comedy. I wouldn't watch it if you're over 30, most of the jokes are anti humor and are carried by the obscure dialogue on top of the obscene situations.

This review does require me to type more. I feel like I typed enough. I don't really have anything else to say. I said what I needed to say. I haven't had a character constraint since highschool.

Leroy, Reggie, and Cheruce Paloni are hosting a Halloween Special featuring various shorts from edgy animators and performers. They are shooting for their own Hulu show after hosting this variety show from their suburban home.

This is co-created by Justin Roiland who brought us "Rick and Morty" and "Solar Opposites". It's that type of humor. The animation style is a lot of that although the shorts are varied including a live action one. I don't know if this is a backdoor pilot to a new show. This comes after Roiland's case got dismissed. So there is a chance. It's irreverent. I like most of the shorts although they do feel scattershot. I like it.

Arguably the "last" Roiland vehicle before all the nasty stuff came out for proper and pleasingly it's only fragments of his sweaty existential foolishness wrapped around this loose anthology/showcase format. It's a huge shame for the other creators involved that this was (and will continue to be) fairly overlooked because there's some real diamonds here. Cult flash folk like David Firth & gory claymaster Lee Hardcastle are on strong form but I was introduced to the slack brilliance of Michael Cusack and whatever Rafillo or Jaime Rodriguez are. Utterly transcendent bits of animation, and consistently funny.

I love the idea of animated sketch comedy show! Every segment is created by different artists and it really shows. It feels completely unhinged in the best way possible.

The "hosting" segment was hilarious. It felt like a combination of Justin's humor mixed with Zach Hadel's. Mr Paloni and his chubby goblin children running around as the show just devolves was brilliant.

Just like any anthology, there are hits and misses. But honestly, I love the variety of content. Got to see some of my favorite indie creators such as Joel Haver and David Firth. Can't wait to see what else this team will make next! Great job Justin and great job Hulu!
