Pickle and Peanut

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.

This show is quite a uncomfortable show to watch if your an Teenager or Adult. Because your friends will just not have a good time watching this. This is pretty much CN's "Regular Show" if it was worse. If anyone doesn't know what I mean, Pickle and Peanut is about.......Well, Who else? Pickle and Peanut! 2 Live Action images put into a Flash animator and given animated faces. These 2 characters spend all their time trying to have the most radical time ever. Like using a Cereal gun, Rescuing only ladies from Jail, Going to Music concerts, Finding undiscovered creatures, etc. You get the point. And its easy what to expect.

As usual, Things take a Different direction in the middle of it. Literally, The first episode is about Pickle growing a Talking zit on his butt. And its worse when they insult the Teen demographic's Intelligence by making everyone around him think its so Cool! Why? That's Disgusting! The comedy in Pickle and Peanut never made me laugh much, There's been a few instances where they were funny, But still kind of Pandery anyway. And not everyone is really into this kind of Comedy. It seems to constantly parody Internet memes and Trends of this Current generation. It seems like a nice reference, But it just completely ruins it anyway. We have been getting Dubstep Music, Live Action costumed people, Heavy Metal, Hot Ladies, Trippy Visuals, Quick Voice Acting, Kittens, Awful Animated CGI (Really?), Video Games, Parties, etc. Everything. And usually gets uncomfortable when the show acts like It's comedy gold and keeps going with the Joke. The episode "Body Spray" has this part at the end with a Gross looking kitten, It doesn't look comfortable to look at at all! And it zooms close up to him for longer than 1min slowly as it plays Sad piano music. Who the heck asked for this? Did the writers think that was hilarious and a good thing for Kids this generation? The joke is supposed to be that it's not cute, But when its Disgusting and Disturbing, Zooming into it just makes us cringe even harder, I can see kids getting nightmares from that scene because of how long they hold onto it.

I admire that it tries to appeal to teenagers, But the jokes are just so stupid! The animation isn't unpleasant to look at if you don't mind Greeny browns and Orangey peaches or Drawn characters into a Flash animator. Because I really don't mind things like that. But in comparison to Cartoons on Nickelodeon or CN, There's a Big difference in effort. The show has these Live Action or Puppet close ups or changes randomly, I think it's trying to Be similar to CN's "Chowder" Because that cartoon did the same thing with Puppets and Stop Motion. But here, You either get a Uncomfortable laugh or a cringe out of it. Sometimes it can make you smile for the heck of it, While other times it's freaking disturbing or disgusting. The Voice acting or Music isn't bad though. Nothing about the show should really give you a bad experience for your ears. But its not extraordinary either.

If you have watched cartoons like "Sanjay and Craig" "Teen Titans Go" "Robot and Monster" and "Grojband" and enjoyed it, You should probably enjoy this cartoon, But I recommend seeing a Episode, Even if it doesn't sound pleasant, Just so you you know how awful it really is. The only episode I thought was good was "Scalped" and even then it had problems. That's really all I have to say.

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.

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.

Watching this show as an 8 year old was like giving crack to a baby. It's a fond memory of my childhood i'll always hold close, 10/10 horrible garbage that will rot your brain. I will now put the lyrics of Moonlight Sunrise by Twice (pls stan)
