Off the Air

I've been keeping up with this show since late 2012. I have loved just about every episode of the show. It is a psychedelic experience without the drugs. You will be amazed and you will be disturbed. Your mind will be blown.

The show is a collaboration of random shorts found on the internet and other various places mixed with trippy music videos and other off the wall stuff coupled with lots of "datamosh" transitions and a large variety of other crazy effects.

I would advise reviewing each episode for yourself before you show your kids any of them. There can be some very disturbing segments of the show.

I would recommend almost every episode of this show to anyone. The reason I say almost is because, in my opinion, the episode "Light" was a bit bland for my taste. But any other episode is definitely worth your time. You yourself may even enjoy the episode "Light"! Some may argue that you need to be high to get any enjoyment out of these shorts but I for one enjoy them just as much when I'm sober. Each episode is a thrill ride in itself and I tend to watch them over and over again. The transitions and animations never cease to amaze me.

This show is very trippy, I don't know if it's because I'm not watching this on acid but I don't really find the random trippy nature of this show entertaining for more than a couple minutes. Defiantly not something I would watch on my own time.

I'm coming to this show a bit late, but can say knowing Adult Swim's history it's no surprise this fits right in to their roster as they tend to showcase shorts and shows that delve into the psychedelic and surreal side of humour. Point of interest: some of the "dialogue", which sound like crank calls, are actually clips from Longmont Potion Castle albums, who is basically the Dali of crank calling.

I'm pretty confused by the high rating. It's basically stock footage and low quality animation jumbled together based on a one word theme. It's like a first year film student had to produce a project in one sitting. Very dull, or perhaps too cerebral for me to "get it." There's a reason most of the reviews mention acid or psychedelics - you are unlikely to enjoy this sober.

It shows exactly what my mind secretly craves. To get our attention, good show usually has to have complicated plot, sophisticated dialogues, well-written characters and such. But those visuals are so surreal and sophisticated you realize your mind is fully occupied! For me it was a beautiful and exciting realization. I want more of it and i want more stuff like that. One of the best shows ever!
