Pickle and Peanut

You gotta give this show a little time for it to grow on you. Easily dismissed as stupid kids show but the writing is great and the stories are insane. Great dark humor for both adults and kids alike. Crazy characters and this show is a great compliment to other excellent XD shows like Gravity Falls and Star vs Forces of Evil. All 3 shows have humor that only the parents will get while plenty of laughs for the kids too!!

This is great for the boys. get the whole squad around to watch this masterpiece. This was the first cartoon my father truly loved, in fact every time he watches any episode he laughs so hard that he froths at the mouth and passes out from lack of oxygen intake. My brother loves this show so much that he goes through a magical transformation turning into 'pickle man'. In that state he loses his mind and screams pickle man while beating up my children. Good boxing practice. And I chuckled at least once so the show is a masterpiece. Change my mind.

I too am sad and dismayed at the mediocre review this shows getting. I fell in love with the show from the first episode, and haven't missed a single one. I love the dynamic between the two main characters, love all the cut ins of live action clips and "photo" realistic stuff. I usually hate hipsters, but I love how they make fun of hipster culture, the bromance, and and have all those awesome catch phrases!! I even fell in love with the theme and credit song!!!

HOWS YOUR MOM?!?

PS. I'm also a big fan of Axe Cop, and the new Moonbeam city. I hate Ed, Edd and Eddie, and Uncle Grandpa. Just to give you an idea of my taste.

If you are a fan of Tim and Eric, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Ren and Stimpy, or other offbeat absurdist humor, you will enjoy this cartoon. It's a funny, witty cartoon that had this misfortune to be placed on the wrong network (Disney XD) and for the wrong audience (tweens). If this had been on Adult Swim, it would have been a cult sensation. I applaud Disney XD for trying produce different kinds of cartoons that are more edgy and creative to attract new viewers, and this cartoon definitely succeeds in that regard, but it was destined to fail due to the average age of the Disney XD viewer. Pickle and Peanut has a lot of parallels to Mr. Meaty in that both shows premiered on networks whose primary audience would not connect with the show, they were shown on timeslots not conducive to the audience they were made for, and the absurd nature of the show (while funny and abstract) actually turned people off. Pickle and Peanut is a very solid cartoon, the jokes are funny, the writing is good, the voice acting is great, it just didn't connect with kids.

If you can't grasp the humor in Pickle and Peanut, I feel sorry for you. The jokes are amazing. The low ratings are a let down - because of the network it's on, probably. This show belongs on CN, NOT Disney. At least there the appropriate age group would be able to appreciate it. The writing is great, the editing is phenomenal - the perfect cartoon comedy for the 80s-90s kid, especially those who had decent exposure to the early internet. I can't even begin to explain how much I've laughed... literally cried from laughing... a cartoon has NEVER done that. I even had to make an IMDb account just to put my review in because this show DESERVES BETTER. Bravo!
