Axe Cop

Axe Cop is incredible funny show that parody all the Super-Hero cartoons and the Pulp Fiction genre.

Alomst every second there is some cops/science-fiction Cliché that turns in unexpected way to crazy direction. the creators mock about almost any sub-genre of Geek Culture, including Anime, Super-heroes comics/ TV shows, Procedurals shows, Detective novels, Western movies, Horror movies, Science-fiction, Fantasy, and much more. Must-See show for every Geek!

and yes, it's childish, and the humor is often silly and immature, but in cool, funny and original way. in these days when most TV shows are the same (procedurals/soaps), it's refreshing to see an original show on a broadcast TV channel.

This show is great, wacky, violent, and absolutely insane. Most of it's flaws are pretty forgivable given it's co-director's age, but that is part of the fun! The violence is edgy enough to make you excited, but still semi-appropriate for kids! Frankly, this show shouldn't be rated TV-MA, its actually more of a soft PG-13, no sex, or gore, only occasional blood, and cartoony beheadings. We need more shows that are aimed at adults but are kid-friendly, your target age range shouldn't be your age rating every time. All the people complaining about the writing, and saying this is a knockoff of Adult Swim should back off, it's not a parody loved by hipsters, it's just wacky and fun. I binge watched almost the whole thing, and recommend this to everyone over 13.

I'm not really a big fan of the sort of meta cartoons you see on Adult Swim. Most of them just seem really stupid. The only one I ever cared for at all was Sealab Something-or-other.

But for some reason, I just *love* the very meta Axe Cop. I love it because it acts like it's the stream-of-consciousness ramblings of a hyper 8-year-old brought to life. It makes no sense, but it makes perfect dream sense. It is often quite heartless and always wildly funny.

There have been two seasons so far and only a handful of episodes per season, so while it is possible that this joke could get old eventually, at this rate I could watch it for years. ADDENDUM: darn, cancelled after 2 seasons.

A Great Show!

Unfortunately some people won't get it; A shot explanation is that it's meant to be confusing, over the top and nonsensical.

The madness of the show isn't just the protagonist, Axe Cop, being so called because he has an axe, it's that it's totally feasible for these characters to "take a dinosaur" instead of "take a taxi", and more so when the destination is another planet, not just "down the block".

Frankly i've had enough of characterisation always trying to be the "more cool than the guy before, with extra shoulder spikes", ad i find refreshing the positively childish attitude with which the show is scripted.

So i'm totally cool with Axe Cop's partner being "Flute Cop", and i'm thankful that it's this writing team that did this show, because if someone else with your run-of-the-mill writing talent would have done this show, it would have been Axe Cop and Shotgun Cop, or Axe Cop and Fire Girl, or Axe Cop and Axe Spy, and so on and so on.

Great show - but Bob's Burgers is still better.

My vote : 8/10 - for those who "get it".

I managed to catch this a few times when it was current but it was on at a weird time so I missed most of it. I just got to watch every episode and I loved it. What a shame this show didn't go on forever. A cop that thinks women are dumb and refuses to help babies because they're dumb and random dinosaurs. What else could you want? Oh yeah, cutting off heads.
