Pig, Goat, Banana, and Cricket...or something like that. I wasn't payi

So I forced my stepbrother to watch this new show on Nickelodeon this morning and here are our reactions.◊ So yeah, ultimately flooding the world is fudge is sort of hilarious in retrospect, but the joke went on too long.

I wonder how many of you are looking forward to the series?

How is that image already removed?

There are days when I mistype the URL and this is one of them.

Except this time it was i.stack.imgur.com instead of the i.imgur that I know and love.

Haha, it's all good, but now I'm gonna imagine Riker's face-palming at the mistaken URL.

I watched it, and if we can survive Uncle Grandpa, we can tolerate this. It's so far standard Nick fare from what I've seen.

I'm not suprised that we already have a page for this show. But I am suprised that I got the title right and the fact that no one edited said page today. True to my nature, I won't be suprised if the thread gets renamed.

It looks really ugly and really weird. The intro itself (At least I think it was the intro) was super weird.

Plus, I noticed in the Intro that sometimes the Animation is Frame-By-Frame, and other times it's tweening and animated puppetry. It's off putting to me to see that in one Cartoon. Normally it's one or the other.

Check "Star Vs." because after Mercury dropped it, its' been going through a lot of changes. And as we all know, it costs a fortune and takes too much time to do hand-drawn animation, which is why the sneak peek episode was done in Flash; to save time.

And like I said on the Nick in general thread: It could be compared to Rocko's Modern Life or Ren & Stimpy, in terms of choices of characters, setting, and plot.

Nah, I like Uncle Grandpa better.

I'll see myself out - I'm definitely not keeping up with this, TBH with you guys, otherwise.

Suit yourself.

Looking forward to it.

Anything that is not a shitty live action show or sport wank fest is an improvement.

It just premiered two days ago.

The pilot for this hit the internet a couple of years ago and people heavily supported it getting picked up.

Now that it's premiered it has a thread where the very title is kind of a jab and everyone is acting like this is nonsense that came out of the blue.

Getting a little tired of every new show being surrounded by negativity here.

If it makes you feel any better, I actually enjoyed the first two episodes we got.

Didn't that happen with Uncle Grandpa, too?

By this point I think it's safe to say that any new show will get hit with It Will Never Catch On the instant it's announced. This happened with ridiculously popular shows like Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and even Steven's show when they were first announced, too.

x3 I had no idea that this show existed because I'm stuck watching CN all day and I didn't had any internet access when it first hit the web. And as for the title, at least I was being sincere with it. Actually, now that I think about it; the title is my idea of a pun on how attractive the show's title is.

And as for "every new show is met with negativity," when rock n' roll came out, it was "The devil's music". Nowadays, death metal and some types of rap is considered satanic. Just give it some time

Time is the ultimate judge of every show. I know we have a trope for when a disliked show becomes liked afterwards, but do we have the reverse?

Well, if Sanjay And Craig is any example, this may last over four seasons.

Having now seen both episodes I feel like this is a wonderful return to form for Nickelodeon cartoons.

It has all the positives of older Nicktoons; it's weird, goofy, grungy and artistically radical, looking like nothing else on television right now.

Frankly the art is gorgeous, I'm SO glad it wasn't smoothed or tightened from the look of the pilot, but retained an irregular doodle-like quality.

The animation is cheaply tweened at moments, but not enough to be that jarring.

Comedic timing? Excellent. Lots and lots of jokes I didn't see coming and surreal bits that got an actual out-loud laugh.

I still kind of miss when "Cricket" was "Mantis" in the pilot, which is still what his design communicates, and a mantis feels a lot more like a "mad science nerd" kind of species than a cricket.

Still my favorite character, though Banana is the funniest by far. He's such a dick, but it's hard to hate such a small, vulnerable and clueless character.

The format where each character gets their own spotlight and it all weaves together works perfectly, and makes the episodes feel like they have a higher volume of content than their length should warrant.

I can totally see this being the new Spongebob. It has the same spirit and the same vibrant, innocent but slightly twisted sense of comedy.

As from what I've seen, Take John K's twisted designs, Klasky-Chupos's art direction, and the outlandish comedy of Uncle Grandpa, and this is what you get: a show that does it's own thing and does it with pride, if not well. Plus it shows a return to 22 minute long episodes every week for a cartoon, meaning they have more time to tell a complete story.

Banana really resembles a lot of otaku homebodies who only do work to pay for their lifestyles. That's pretty much me to a T.

I just...I dunno about this...

Pig Goat Banana Cricket...

You know, you've kinda hit an important point about many 2000s and 2010s cartoons. A lot of them have strong hatedoms for reasons that 90s cartoons are liked. People would love "Sanjay and Craig" and "PGBC" if they were 90s shows while "Ren and Stimpy" would be panned by us if they came out today.

BTW, love (most of) your stuff, Mr. Scythemantis

Necoring because of thread piracy. And the fact that I kinda like the show.

Allahu Akbar.

Its gotta cool style I can give it that. But some of its humor is a hit and miss to me. Am I not a lone on this?

Nope. I kind of find this as a guilty pleasure of sorts. Way more tolerable than Uncle Grandpa IMHO.
