Brickleberry (2012–2015)
3/10
Forced, unoriginal humor
17 October 2012
Having watched the first two episodes of the series, I can say with confidence I will not be a returning viewer. The show's animation style is immediately reminiscent of Seth McFarlane's cartoons (Family Guy, American Dad, etc), while failing to add any color or flair of its own. In other words, the show just looks bland and boring.

The characters fail to impress, and each is just a grossly exaggerated racial, gender, or sexual orientation stereotype that just screams "beating a dead horse". The black character meets with the KKK, is afraid of forests (hurr hurr), and for some reason, has a penchant for sleeping with older women.

The jokes tend to fall flat, and just seem to be trying way, way too hard to offend without offering any subtlety, style, or "smartness" in their delivery. I failed to chuckle more than once or twice in an episode. Most jokes simply did not work.

If you want to give it a try, I encourage it, but I personally was completely put off by what I saw: an unoriginal, poorly made show that offers nothing new or interesting to the viewer.
