History WesternAnimation / XAVIERRENEGADEANGEL

Created by Creator/{{PFFR}}--the minds behind ''Series/WonderShowzen''--for Creator/AdultSwim in 2007, ''Xavier: Renegade Angel'' is, on the surface, about an angel who has defected from Heaven. Good luck finding out what it is ''really'' about, though. The eponymous Xavier is either an actual fallen angel or just a cosmic abomination that was disowned by his mother. Forced to WalkTheEarth because everyone hates him, Xavier seeks enlightenment and tries to help people--but at worst, he creates problems where none exist and causes tons of carnage, and at best, he somehow gets ''everyone'' to put aside their differences and join together for the common (and usually justified) goal of ''beating him senseless''.

* DerangedAnimation: The entire show looks like it was rendered through a UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. It's cranked up to ludicrous levels with "Damnesia You", the episode where the winners of a contest get their films shown in an ExcusePlot where Xavier goes to different dimensions to figure out his identity. Styles shown in the episode include:

* InsaneTrollLogic: Xavier runs on this.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Although he does display some heterosexual tendencies (like peeping in on a showering woman in the first episode), Xavier's frequent [[ThatCameOutWrong unintentional innuendos]] (as well as having sex with a coworker while crossdressed as a gigantic black woman in the same episode where he marries the widow of a man he kills) leaves it entirely unclear what his true sexual orientation could be. His snake hand, however, is referenced to be bisexual. Though it's only characterized this way in one episode ("El Tornadador"), but considering how confusing the continuity of the show usually is... but then again, it isn't even certain that Xavier is biologically male, as it's shown several times that he has a large eye (or as he calls it, his “Peni”.) in place of genitalia.

--->'''Christian Doctor:''' I'd '''swim through a lake of water''' for these cakes! That's the only way to '''quell the raging fire''' in my belly for these cakes.\\

* InsaneTrollLogic: Xavier runs on this.a

* TakeOurWordForIt: A bizzare in-universe example occurs when Popo, a gorilla taught to speak in sign language, converts to Christianity and asks to speak at the funeral of the local preist [[BestialityIsDepraved whom she'd had sex with]] and supposedly gives an empassioned and beautiful speech about finding faith in God through grief. Although it is so effective that it converts the whole world to Christianity we, and by extension everyone else, don't actualy hear the speech but rather Popo's handler's comments on her use of wordplay and tendancy to take metaphors too literally.

'''Xavier:'''No, it was MY son.

* WorldOfSymbolism: Much of the show is not meant to be taken literally as doing so can make the show completely nonsensical. Instead, the entire show uses numerous symbols of religion, anarchism, government, technology, independent spritualism, etc, to basically poke fun at the logic of everything with a bunch of TakeThat moments for comedy. Most of these symbols do not spell themselves out, allowing the viewer to determine what they feel the purpose of any dialogue or object is.

* CrapsackWorld: Even ignoring [[PersonOfMassDestruction Xavier's]] presence in it, nearly every location shown in the series is a dilapidated shithole inhabited primarily by [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]]. The rare characters who are genuinely good-natured always end up meeting gruesome ends thanks to [[DoomMagnet Xavier]]. Then again, so does everybody else. On top of all that, reality-distorting supernatural horrors seem to be commonplace, though they generally only seem to appear when [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Xavier provokes them]].
