TripTank

This is just crap. Theres really not much to say about it, a bunch of crap put in a show and called comedy. I tortured myself to watch more than one episode of this, still hoping to get something from it, but i got badly disappointed. I did'nt laugh, i did'nt even grin a single time, i did'nt even think once "ok that was kind of funny". This show is just a nonsensical, badly put together, not funny at all, piece of crap. I have the feeling with that show, comedy central reached the bottom of the pit, they must be really desperate.

Well, this is far ahead of Robot Chicken at least, which seemed way too intelligent and boring after watching a couple of episodes of TripTank. Most of sketches are insanely fun, variety of animation styles used is freaking astonishing. I don't see any reason people don't like it besides they just can't get how amazingly it is done. Honestly, I never seen anything like that before. Every episode makes me wonder how on Earth can creators have fantasy like this and maintain a kind of story line (well, actually a lot of) through all the flick at the same time. This show is on top of favorites list among my closest friends, and it's for a reason. I achieve that level of creativity only on massive dosages of acid. Unbelievable. The humour can be considered rude and inappropriate, but it's the way it's been designed, so don't ever complain if you found this show being "too much" for you. If you don't like black comedy, you should avoid watching it by any means, otherwise you must see that flow of twisted fantasy you'll never find elsewhere. If you consider those series stupid and for "stoned schoolboys", then you are probably the one or just didn't get the idea. This show is not for all, and obviously not for people with lower IQ, despite you can think exactly of opposite.

This is the worst show on Comedy Central. Possibly the worst show on television. There's no plot. Nor do they pretend to have a plot. There are no jokes. No set-ups. No punch lines. They are trying to create humor from shock value and nothing else. This is just s$&ting in the face of their audience and expecting them to enjoy this. It is a network's way of saying "here, go play with this coloring book while elsewhere, real programming is going on." This is the only review I've ever posted on IMDb. I love Comedy Central but this show is so far below the rest. I feel bad for the comedians who bring down their careers by contributing to this mess.

I may be too hung up on trying to understand things, but Triptank is just a mess of half baked animated shorts that has no cohesive thing that keeps it together. It relies way too heavily on bloody/dismemberment gags and way too little on funny set ups or clever writing. I watch it and think of someone stitching together some of the more mediocre stuff produced as student projects at some animators' school. It's not ready for prime time. Are you listening, whoever organizes this show? Watch a few seasons of Robot Chicken, and then make your best effort at a knock off of that show, you know, a show with humor. And Comedy Central, you don't need to grab just any animated creation. Granted a duo like Parker and Stone don't come along too often, but there must be better animated shows available to air.

This show is a hodgepodge of different styles and sensibilities and as such, it's a mixed bag. At its worst, the sketches are too reliant on shock humour and can sometimes miss the mark but there is still some good writing here and it's a cool show to look at due to the range of different animation styles on show.

Overall, TripTank is a decent representation of internet cartoons with the same foul humour and general abrasiveness that once couldn't work on television now finally getting it's chance to be seen by a wider audience. It's giving talented people the opportunity to make a living as well as the chance to work with some of the best voice actors in the business who they probably otherwise wouldn't get the chance to work with. So for that, I give Comedy Central a pat on the back and hope they can continue to give their animators greater creative freedom come season two.
