Short Review: It's clever, unique, and relatable
Longer Review: I like to keep shows on in the corner of my computer while I'm at work for white noise & some laughs. After going through Futurama, Family Guy, The Office, South Park, Rick and Morty, Parks and Rec, and Adventure Time, in their entirety, for the millionth time, I decided to take a chance and choose something new. It was a terrible idea. I couldn't get any work done because I kept getting sucked in. I found myself immediately pulled in by the familiar vocal talents of Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls), John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time, Disenchantment), Fred Armisen (SNL, Unbreakble Kimmy Schmidt, Archer), and so many more. However, what I truly appreciated was the humor. If you go in expecting the jokes used in Ryan Quincy's more popular show, South Park, then you'll find yourself disappointed. I love crass, obvious humor as much as the nest guy (for instance, I've seen every episode of South Park & Family Guy at least twice), but I also enjoy the more quirky, situational humor "Out There" has to offer. While you can skip to pretty much any scene in South Park and discover something crazy or gross to laugh about, Out There offers a deeper kind of humor that takes you on a journey of relatable shenanigans and familiar snafus. To me, it feels more intimate, like an inside joke only you get because you know the characters and what wild decisions landed them where they are. I find it to be a much less cringey tale of puberty than the more recently released sseries, Big Mouth. Damn shame it only lasted a season.
