Just saw the promo on Cartoon Network today and on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10NrCHAb4RE

So far, I guessed right on how they would say the title: really fast. Theme song is going to be hilarious.

It looks... really awful, to be honest with you. Awesome? This? Awwwww hell naw:shit:

I went on at length about this show on TZ months ago, so I'll summarize again; I'm really not a fan of gross-out humor (I can enjoy it if it's done right, however; Cow & Chicken always had a perfect balance for me), and the characters here look really disgusting. Everything looks disgusting, as a matter of fact (even the goddamn background objects)... and when a show has to live and breathe off of that style to humor to function, it just doesn't do it for me.

Sheer morbid curiosity will have me checking out a couple of episodes when it does premiere for good, but I can't say this looks like anything I'll enjoy. Doesn't look like my cup of tea, to be sure.

Hell yeah it looks awesome. I enjoyed Uncle Grandpa so I might enjoy this show. Sneak peek is tonight at 8:30pm so my thoughts will be settled by then.

This show contains a word I use a lot: Awesome. Refrain from using it time to time, but when watching this show I can shout out "AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!! FUCKING AWESOME!!"

HOLY SHIT, THIS SHOW IS BETTER THAN THE PROBLEM SOLVERZ!!

Seriously though, it has surreal designs and characters who are funny. Sounds like a WIN show right there.

I liked it. I think it's like Problem Solverz in that I could see why a lot of people would hate it. Spoiler for future episode:

"its not gonna air for months. but i did a storyboard about this about guy cloning himself... also he's made of butts. so there's a lot of butt guys. and then they jump into the butt of their clones and then fart. butt guys shoot out of the butts like cannonballs. its funny. that sounds like a joke but it's really what happens."

Pete Browngardt sure knows how to keep things classy.

I actually missed the premiere. Had to go out that night, annnnnd... yeah. Forgot to DVR, and the rest is history.

How was it anyway, for those who did catch it? Was the writing any good at all, or did they just cram as many fart jokes into an 11-minute segment as humanly possible?

It's growing on me but it's still a bit low brow for my tastes. Not nearly as clever as The Problem Solvers or Regular Show can be and all these bro-coms do nothing but make me miss Robotomy.

Saw the episode this week when I stuck around after Regular Show for some torture from MAD. It was...passable. Like I have no idea whether to like it or hate it, its just really bland like Robotomy was. They really need to stop trying to ape the success of Adventure Time and Regular Show with all these BroComs.

Also, the talking butt totally reminded me of Monsieur Cheeks from Ultimate Muscle.

It... doesn't live up to its name.

That's an understatement.

This show sucks.

It's still growing on me. I saved the Porta-Potty episode on the DVR and I think I'll revisit it now and see what I think about it after having become more accustomed to the quirks of this show.

Still too heavy on the broism but I have to admit it has made me laugh on occasion.

It's just a little to gross at times.
