Pickle and Peanut

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!

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.

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.

Don't let the low ratings fool you... This is a show with a wonderfully unruly and loose art style and humor to match! This show feels like it should be on Adult Swim but was somehow trapped by Disney. This is a cartoon that just wants you to have nothing but pure fun and entertainment.

If you're a fan of YTPs and dumb jokes you can't help but laugh at this is the cartoon for you. If you're a stickler for bad jokes and possess no sense of fun, well... you're better off directing your hate onto things that matter more than a silly cartoon (make your own and pitch it to Disney dummy! i dare you!).

It's just super silly and goofy and I guess if that's not your sorta thing there are plenty of other shows to enjoy. Overall, 10/10! This is some of the most original stuff I've seen on Disney for a while.

I can't explain why everyone has rated this so low. Give it a chance. It's a stupid show in the very best way. It would have been much more at home on adult swim or Cartoon Network. It's like Ren & Stimpy meets Amazing World of Gumball... I think it's hilarious. Appreciate it for what it is.
