The Paloni Show! Halloween Special!

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.

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.

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.

If you're a fan of Rick n Morty or Solar Opposites, this is the Halloween Special for you. Justin Roiland teams up with a bunch of undiscovered animators who create their own 3-5 minutes Halloween shorts in a chance to impress both Hulu and the viewers over the next hour. The A or Main story involves 3 humanoids (one voiced by Roiland himself) hosting the special in order to stay on Hulu's good grace, only for it delove quickly as they must take their cousin Trick-R-Treating. The A story definitely has some strong Solar Opposite vibes, from the animation style to the intentional 4th-wall breaking Hulu references, even down to the perosnalities of the host and various side characters. While there are some laughs and the A story gets better as it goes on, it's the shorts that really steal the show (which is the point).

Each short is uniquely different and memorable, yet still equally creepy and hilarious. Some shorts genuinely made me say "oh my god" or wtf, but all of them had me laughing by the end. All in all, this show was a very fun take on Halloween and gave me a lot of laughs. If you enjoy Justin Roiland's work and love Halloween, definitely give this show a watch!

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.
