I love the show just because the plots are so ridiculous. The writers have created an absurd, ongoing situation - "Old town," with a massive telemarketing presence, a sheriff on roller skates, etc. The entire intent is so absurd that it's funny - then add a naive kid with (unexplained) leg braces, and an "evil" dog - which is actually the hero of each episode. I think what I really love are the right wing religious nuts who can't see that it is just a silly cartoon, funny in the absurdity, and think that the show is a sign of Satan at work. Sadly, these people know nothing of biblical or theological history, and are just stupid. I've watched the first season, probably three times. The animation director, or the animators themselves have added funny twists to the animations - look at the pictures on the Sheriff's wall, the magazines in the country store store, the graffiti on the bridge embankments, etc. A lot of imagination has gone into the series. A then there is Mr. Pickles. He's my best friend. Love that theme song.
Mr. Pickles is alot to handle as a show. One episode is enough to give you an idea of what else is in store for you as a veiwer. I can't tell if it's funny because of how appalling the violence is; the show is truly remarkable in twisted imagination.
Plot- Each epsiode is like a Horror show with happy go lucky main characters (The Goodman's) and an unknowingly satanic dog (Mr. Pickles). The show will always start with Mr Pickles obliterating some random, mostly airheaded innocent people- much like a horror movie. Of course the tone of the show is comedic, but it all revolves around the dogs unimaginably disgusting affairs.
Writing- Not a very funny show honestly. I really only laugh in amazement at how immensely demented it can be. There's funny elements, like how Mr Pickles always manages to seem innocent just before he is about to be exposed, or how the grandpa always seems crazy. Its really only clever in terms of violence. Teenagers would love this- it's packed to the brim with excess. Try to find one normal scene without anything even minutely gross or perverted. It won't happen.
Characters/Acting- The voice acting is good. Some likeable characters that are kinda funny, others are just overexaggerated and annoying.
Quality- Pretty damn good honestly, for being animated on Adobe Flash. It's extremely detailed, fast paced, and the violence is completely crazy. You may laugh at it, but its not for the right reasons.
Overall I would never recommend this to anyone that is easily offended by violence, anyone of strong religious faith, anyone who isnt a teenager, anyone who is looking for a cleverly humorous show. If you wanna wipe your brain, distract yourself, or have a feeling of WTF, turn this on when you can. As for me, I like it for the shock factor, but can only handle about 1 or 2 episodes at a time. I keep using the word "excessive" excessively, but that is the definition of this show.

This is definitely one of the best cartoons ever. It's a shame that they have only made 4 hours of this show in 6 years. Mr. Pickles is a good boy.
I have no idea where this show will go on from here, don't see how the storyline hasn't been milked in one episode but i'm open to be surprised. Where that i do love storyline above the rest of the content, the sheer recklessness it's willing to show and cause, i believe the animators folly know what they are doing. Throwing away the plane rudeness most show try to cover up with an unguided story arch, this show confronts you with what we most like in adult cartoons. Uncensored craziness and mind-blowing creativity. Leaving dignity and respect for anything in this world behind, Mr pickles has the potential to become something memorable in the adult cartoon industry. I can't speak for the episodes to come, but the pilot is certainly a must watch if you like something that deviates from the norm. it's rude, gory and has no self-control...i love it.
Mr. Pickles is a great show that many people including friends, youtubers and critics like to shit all over. Now im gore's worst fan, i faint if i see more than 2 drops of blood but i dont know what it is about Mr. Pickles but the literal murdering that happens in the show doesnt make me want to temporarily die. Out of the 3 seasons and 1 special episode ive watched the special and the first two seasons because after watching something like "Telemarketers Are The Devil" and "S.H.O.E.S" i dont want anything to do with that season. Yes it is humour that 100% is shock value but i like it.
