This show is by far the most random show ever I have ever seen, with it's ultimate weirdness and bizarre randomness you can't take the show seriously, but it is surprisingly good to watch.
The stories and morals don't make any sense, but that's what the show is. It's basically a random mess, and that's what the show is suppose to be. Unlike shows like "Pickle & Peanut", this is intentionally random and ridiculous.
This is the Marmite of cartoons, you either love it or hate it, and I love it. You can't help, but want an Uncle or Grandpa like Uncle Grandpa.
Unlike Pickle & Peanut and Breadwinners, the stock footage and photo shop pictures are necessary.

I understand how so many people find Uncle Grandpa hard to watch or find it too trippy and hallucinogenic to stomach. But if you know the history of animation and enjoy surrealism, Uncle Grandpa is a BLAST!
Golden Age animator Tex Avery once said, "If you can do it in real life, it isn't animation." Uncle Grandpa embraces that philosophy and runs with it. Every animation gimmick you've ever seen appears at one time or another. Stuff out of the frame (including body parts) cease to exist, perspective gags galore, selective gravity, photo cut-outs, sight gags, visual puns, internet memes, breaking the 4th wall... Don't even try to keep a list, there are too many.
My only complaint about Uncle Grandpa is that sometimes it's a little too NORMAL. I can get normalcy any day without turning on the TV.

I was lucky to get Cartoon Network as a kid and I loved Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken and I Am Weasel. Uncle Grandpa is the next logical step in the evolution of silliness. I really love the whole concept of this show. It's the first show whose point is it's pointlessness. The gags are so incredibly bad that they're brilliant again. The characters have a great dynamic and the voice actors are really well-cast. The shows art is also very unique and artistic. While shows like "Adventure Time" try to tell a message and make people think, which annoys me quite a lot, Uncle Grandpa is all about fun and the celebration of stupidity. I hope this show continues for a long time and stay true to it's pointlessness.
I'm not really sure what to day about this show. I watch 'Uncle Grandpa' as a child and I can only say that I liked it. It's random, it's funny on some moments and it's creative. But sometimes, it gets pretty annoying. Some of the jokes repeat them selfs and I don't really find it funny.
It's been almost 4 years since I've watched the show and I really can't say more about this show because it's been so long.
I give this a 6 out of 10 stars. Again, I'm not sure what to say about this show other than its weird and random, just as intended.

I am 48 and get this show. I think it confuses a lot of adults, which is weird because there is plenty for adults to like. Yeah, the name is a little off putting but I believe it's an either/or type name. He's either an uncle or a grandpa to kids. (I would think.) It's Mr. Gus by the way and not Glen the Dinosaur. This show is great in that it challenges children' views of reality and to not limit your imagination. I've seen that quite a few adults do not like this program, but it's not for you. I don't choose my children' shows as long as it's not an adult cartoon. Uncle Grandpa is one of their favorites that they DVR. (Is that a verb now?)
