Brickleberry (2012–2015) User Reviews

It's a certain kind of humor

[nadmtg · 8/10 · 15 October 2014]

First off, Brickleberry is not your typical teen-to-adult cartoon. This is a full on, only for adults cartoon. It is overseen by Daniel Tosh, if that shouldn't give a hint to how far this show is willing to go.

That being said, I personally love this show. It's rare to see a TV show be this bold and ballsy. Each character is perfectly inappropriate in their own ways, making for constant laughs. They push the limits for shock factor (a gay bomb, that makes people gay), and don't care about offending people.

Brickleberry is not for everyone, and certainly not a family friendly show, but people who can take a joke and laugh at bold humor should love this show.

Crude, rude and frickin hilarious

[smetin · 8/10 · 17 April 2017]

There has been a lot of hate for this TV show. Many say the jokes are predictable, offensive and disgusting. Sure, the comedy is dark. In fact, it can get very dark at times. However, it is still a funny show. The comedy is so out there that you are genuinely surprised with some of the things that the characters say, even if it was just a side comment. Although these jokes could be considered predictable, it is their unpredictable placement that makes it great to watch. Some of the humour was a bit cringey, which made me glad that I watched many of these episodes on my own. But these weren't too common (either that, or I am not easily embarrassed!).

When the series starts you aren't told much about the characters aside from their generic traits. You learn the odd thing about each character (for example, a certain someone's love for more mature women), but don't expect it to expand much beyond that. It was quite interesting for them to do this as most cartoons give their characters some back story. It means that each episode is a surprise when they are thrown into highly unlikely situations in an unassuming National Park.

I would recommend this show to people of my age (college/university). It is definitely a show for the more mature individual. I am sad they no longer make new episodes, but I have enjoyed what they brought out nonetheless!

Don't listen to bad review/better than other animated shows--shockingly funny

[thepotatoHasEyes · 8/10 · 13 March 2013]

BRICKLEBERRY will shock you, it is the next step in this genre, it is fast, funny to the point of -did they just say/do that -- it IS ADULT oriented, and loves being dirty-- ex. female park ranger has orgasm from killing a deer, after she prays to god for strength.

Yes, it is shockingly funny- it throws everything in your face ..if you are gay-religious-racist/non racist-white-black- young -old-bald-patriotic, anti-American- you get the point --- no matter who you are brickleberry knows what will offend you and throws it in your face until you laugh-- remember getting held down and tickled till you almost pee--whoever did that to you has now turned into "BRICKLEBERRY".

Great show IF it suits your humor!

[david-borjesson92 · 10/10 · 3 December 2014]

I was skeptical to the show at first but the more I watch it the more I love it! I understand why some have given this a 1/10 wile others 10/10 because it has a special humor that if suits you you will like and if it doesn't you will hate, simple as that. I find the characters funny and diverse contributing to different types of humor and jokes. The comedy in this show is raw and a lot more brutal when compared to American Dad and South park. I find it quite similar to Family guy at times but with its own direction and niche.

To sum up I would like to say that it is far underrated and would love to see more season of this show in the future.

Brickleberry is HILARIOUS.

[Shunnyo · 10/10 · 18 January 2014]

I'll go as far as to compare it to great animated comedies like Family Guy and South Park(I absolutely love both of them). Brickleberry really knows how to push the boundaries.

Each episode centers around the hilarious misadventures and mishaps of Five distinctly funny Rangers in the fictional Brickleberry National Park . There is also a rude talking little bear immediately comparable to Stewie and Cartman.

It's a brilliantly written show with hilarious characters, dialogues and situations. It can be extremely politically incorrect with its out of the world jokes and situations, which is why some people may Hate it with passion. But you have to understand that's what makes the show Great . Without developing a certain taste you can not appreciate the hilarity of Brickleberry.

I hope this show continues on for long. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Brickleberry gets a perfectly deserved 10/10 from me.

Heartbroken to find out it got Cancelled

[qmco · 10/10 · 26 April 2016]

I'm a big South Park and Family Guy Fan. I'm just a big fan of the "try to be as offensive to everyone" genre. So this was just a given. I loved every episode, laughing my butt off many times. I hope maybe it makes a come back at some point!

Minimum 10 lines!?!. Okay. It's a cartoon. It's really funny. Great voice acting. Love the Characters. No holds barred on the raunchy and over the top comedy. It's a laugh at the expense of every group, category, association, affiliation, and ability of persons on the planet. If you're easily offended, you REALLY need to watch it! I have no sympathy for the easily offended with weak emotional fortitude what so ever!

Keep 'em coming.

[kruizer04 · 9 November 2012]

O.k. there's some bad jokes in there, but South Park, Family Guy, American Dad etc. have them as well. I've watched 6 eps so far and it seems to be finding it's feet. Squwabbits was frickin' hilarious, everybody I know likes this show. Some of you so called critics out there are just nasty for the sake of getting you're name in print. Your over educated (or un-educated) ramblings make most of you sound like you've lost the plot. Some so called "critics" get so far off the beaten track, or is so poorly written I just can't understand WTF they're on about. If you don't like the show, don't watch it, watch something that you do like and comment on that. STOP SPOILING EVERYONE ELSE'S FUN, it's a mildly offensive cartoon, that does exactly what its supposed to do, and that's perhaps not everybody's cup of tea, but it is funny when you give it a chance 7 - 8 out of 10 and rising.

A big laugh in every episode

[pierre-76-720445 · 7/10 · 10 July 2016]

Awful vicious little turd.

I keep thinking "One more episode, then I'll pull the plug".

But every episode so far has a few belly-laughs.

More than what you can say about most "comedy" series.

It's the little asides that make the show hilarious ("Let the Parkinsons do the work").

Brickleberry uses fire and explosions to great comic effect.

Connie, the enormous lesbian ranger, is the nicest character in the cast. She is a suitable counterbalance to the self-centered self-indulgence of the rest.

Why cancelled

[uncertainreview · 10/10 · 22 September 2018]

Why did a Show like this gets cancelled?! I don't understand it's 10 Times Funnier than Family Guy!!!

Unoriginal

[blair_gouveia · 6/10 · 13 January 2013]

Although not completely terrible, I feel like this show failed to deliver. I am a big fan of tosh.0;being so, it was impossible to escape Daniel Tosh's shameless self promotion of Brickleberry at the end of every episode in the most recent season. I decided to check it out and was disappointed to find that she show was nothing more than another generic cartoon show trying to be edgy. Daniel Tosh should stick to what he's good at, as his shock-humour only works in a real life setting. Don't get me wrong though, the show is not terrible. I got a few chuckles at some of the jokes but on the whole, unfortunately I don't see this show being the next South Park/Family Guy/Simpsons. If you are looking for a chuckle and are a fan of crude humour then you might enjoy this but I would wait for it to come on Netflix.

I really, really, really dislike this show.

[Joseph_Santos_Cruz · 1/10 · 7 August 2022]

Poorly written jokes tied together with the most ridiculously uninteresting plots. I could not watch this high or sober, definitely the worst animated show ever.

Hilarious

[brickness · 9/10 · 13 October 2013]

No story, Just some main characters behaviors stereotyped, many strange situations, a lot of jokes. Racist, stupid, offending, politically incorrect jokes...

But hey, if you watch the entire first season before judging, it will give you some (not too many, but some) hilarious sketches and few true LOLs.

Not that much you may say, well, consider that the others, the classics (Simpsons, American dad, family guy, SP, etc), have stopped being hilarious sometimes ago and, u gotta admit, it's a while they don't grant you real deep LOLs.

Amoral you say?

Who decides what's moral? ;)

It gets repetitive

[Nomad007 · 6/10 · 19 June 2020]

It's obviously on the much more intense side of animated adult comedy. And there is pretty much nothing they won't touch, usually over and over. So if you have ANY delicate sensibilities with anything, you might just want to stay clear. Honestly In the current climate (June 2020) I'm really surprised it's allowed on the air.

All that said it was pretty funny initially. But it runs its course after so many episodes. The characters become repetitive and burning. How many times times can they use the same jokes over and over just with a different background.

I thought I might actually enjoy it but it's like the writers gave up a few episodes in we're more concerned about making each episode about group demographic to poke fun at. Any storyline or character development that held everything together just went out the window.

Pretty obviously why it only lasted three seasons. Honesty it seemed like it should have been canceled after the first seasons with some random good episodes scattered between seasons 2 & 3.

Forced, unoriginal humor

[electro-viking · 3/10 · 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.

Brickleberry is hilarious ! Adults only !

[statenisland1970 · 9/10 · 20 November 2013]

Brickleberry is NOT for children. A lot of the humor is sexual and really pushes boundaries. There's a definite shock value to it and each episode seems to progressively push those boundaries further and further. I don't analyze the show. I sit back and enjoy it for exactly what it is. It's raunchy and that's okay with me. Very little makes me laugh. Brickleberry is a bright spot for me and has me roaring with every episode. I absolutely love it. If you don't like this type of humor, stay away from Brickleberry. Nobody is making you watch it. It's sure to offend with its stereotyping, lampooning of certain disabilities, illnesses etc. The name of the head ranger in this series should be a tipoff as to what you'll be in store for. It's Woody Johnson. Brickleberry is offensive, raunchy, tasteless, gross, and even disgusting at times. It goes where no animated series has ever gone before. Family Guy and South Park are like a Disney production compared to Brickleberry. I LOVE every second of it and make sure to tape every episode. I'll be buying the DVD's very soon. Make sure your children do not watch this show !

Pushes the Boundaries

[user-32-602258 · 9/10 · 25 June 2014]

Brickleberry is an animated TV show currently broadcasted on Comedy Central. The show follows the live's of a group of dysfunctional park rangers at the fictional Brickleberry national park....and a talking bear cub.

The show revolves around Steve who takes his job very seriously, Ethel a new addition to the staff who is a recovering alcoholic, Connie a butch lesbian with super human strength who has a crush on Ethel, Denzel an African American ranger who has a sexual preference for very old women, Woody the Head ranger and former porn star who is obsessed with making the park profitable and Molloy a bear cub who's parents where accidentally shot by Steve after he was born and is now been cared for by Woody.

What makes this show utterly brilliant is the boundaries it pushes for laughs. Themes of Murder/Rape/Drugs are common. Molloy the bear cup is spoiled by woody which increases his belief in his own self importance. The episodes which focus on Connie and her lesbian desires are hilarious and wrong..and hilarious because they are wrong. If you want Family Guy in the woods give this show a go.

Better than I expected.

[pablo33158 · 9/10 · 30 October 2013]

Funny show. Yes it's offensive to the PC sheep who live off their "career" trying to tell others how to think. Some of the Connie Lez stuff is hilarious. I I thing they took Tosh's voice down a touch with the "machine". I would have been happier if they left it alone. Overall, I give it a passing grade. I've watched most of them, and while there are a few dud ish ep's, I'm generally happy with the series.I don't think the Malloy character is the funniest, something I thought would have been automatic considering it's Tosh. is it south Park. Nothing is South park, so calm down and watch something else, or give it a chance. The whining is tiresome.

A nice guilty pleasure. Imagine Family Guy before it got good.

[GiraffeDoor · 7/10 · 1 June 2019]

I feel this show is nostalgia for a time when animation for adults automatically implied something you couldn't watch with grandma.

This is a dumb show. It's aggressively crass and even disturbing with it's black and blue humour.

But I also feel it has a certain lucidity about itself. It actually has fairly original and interesting stories. Not satire, but sometimes observant.

I found it a guilty pleasure.

Why so much hatred?

[adressedelamour · 9/10 · 30 October 2012]

I really enjoyed this show and I don't see why people hate it. If you like trash animated comedy this show is for you I will not compare it to South Park but just say that the trash jokes are placed in a totally different way,it's faster and even more absurd,more in a "drawned together" way.Also who is shocked of AIDS jokes and handicapped or rape jokes after S.P? It's all about being light and funny about it and this show achieves to do that. For those who think it is poorly written I say it's more about the craziness of the characters than the story itself you're switching between different stupid situation that only seem to get worst but there is still coherence in the storyline and the characters.

What I found brilliant is the way this show takes to make you laugh,you think you know where a joke is leading but ultimately it's always more crazier than what you could have thought.

Alas I don't think this show will stay on the air like so many who where loved by such a few(freak show,Wonder Showzen...)

9 out of ten even if some will hate me for it

not too bad

[angelorwez · 6/10 · 3 May 2022]

I didn't totally hate it...

it's not sophisticated humour...but by a long shot

but for how not great it is...i find the jokes about her oversexual nature hilarious!!

Don't expect much...and you might laugh.

It Just Isn't Funny.

[RBarryYoung · 2/10 · 9 October 2012]

I was really looking forward to this series, after what seemed like months of Promos on Tosh.O. Well, I've sat through two full episodes so far, and I have yet to laugh even once. I just can't find anything humorous in it at all.

I see some of the other reviews compare it favorably with some of the titans of Comedy Central like South Park, The Daily Show or Tosh.O, but it not only doesn't compare with them, it's not even remotely in the same league as them.

Mind you, it's not *awful*, the animation is competent and the actors appear to read their lines correctly, but it really just has nothing going for it. They sure seem to be trying really hard to be funny, but it never seems to come off. The jokes aren't amusing, the characters are predictable, formulaic, and vapidly unoriginal, and the plots could have come from a Universal Cartoon Plot Generator.

Even when they are doing their darnedest to be outrageous and offensive, the acting and animation is so tepid and milquetoast, I just can't seem to care. I'm pretty sure they could do a 30 minute graphically explicit exploration of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and no one would even notice.

Pass. And unless you're terminally bored and have nothing else to do, I recommend that you do too.

You either really like it, or you really hate it

[dupamiaza · 10/10 · 26 March 2019]

If you read the 1 star reviews, everything those people complain about is the reason why the other people gave this show 10 stars. If you hate "tasteless jokes", others love them and don't think they are actually tasteless. If you hate "shock humor", others are crazy about it, they find it refreshing.

I enjoyed each second of this show. If you didn't, it is not my problem. But please, don't write on the internet that this show deserved to be canceled just because you didn't like it. There are a lot of other people who enjoy this kind of stuff and I truly hope it will be rebooted.

It is pretty funny

[mhennessy-66503 · 6/10 · 13 February 2017]

I love the crude humour and characters, and the jokes are improvised quite well. They are not afraid to have the edgy satire and try out some dry humour that mostly works well. The problem is some of the characters just come off as they think they are funny by saying one sly comment. I have a problem with Malloy particularly, he just is not funny(Daniel Tosh is not really a funny person anyways). I also dislike the Ethel character, she is not funny at all, however she is a great prop for the "slut jokes". The characters I really like is the two rednecks (forgot their name). Woody is a pretty funny character because his life is really messed up. Steve is the star. I feel bad for him sometimes but he acts so stupid and carefree as he goes on with his day. He is just really funny because of how socially delusional he is. Denzel could sometimes be funny, he is more like smirk funny because he is just obviously stereotypical. Connie is a really hilarious character, in a way related to Steve. Connie says hilarious lesbian stuff and i feel bad for her sometimes. When she runs away screaming is one of my favourite moments of the character. Overall, I would say it is a nice funny show to watch, sit back and crack a beer.

All the reviews I have read are obviously fake.

[samuraispiders · 3/10 · 8 October 2012]

This show is neither bad because its to offensive nor is it good because its offensive. (at the time I am writing this there are only four reviews) The reviews are fake because no one who loves offensive shows will say it's offensive in the reviews. Just read how the first 3 positive reviews sound like adds for the show. Even the one bad review is there to support what the other reviews have said. The show is not even that offensive. All four reviewers have only written one review on IMDb. What are the odds that the only four reviewers would have only written one review on IMDb and its for Brickleberry? (If they have more than one review in the future, it would be there just to discredit what I have written) The show is not good by any standard. Just on the notion that it is poorly written and there is no comedic timing. If the show is so bad that the creators have to make fake reviews, maybe they shouldn't be making this show. Tosh, stick to tosh.0 and leave the written comedy to South Park.
