This show is dreadful

Absolutely unfunny, cliche, non-original humor. I don't even think those stand-ups are even that funny. Hopefully will get canned.

And the animation is pure HELL. You'd think that Comedy Central would at least hire a decent flash animator, instead of that icky motion-tweened gradient garbage they call a cartoon. It's really not that hard.

phoenix, I was just wondering if you've posted any of your flash animations on the internet. Like newgrounds or something. If so, can you tell me what they are? Thanks.

The show is supposed to have Ren & Stimpy-esque animation. It's not gonna be like South Park or something.

You bet I have, QuickStop. You can find my stuff at Newgrounds and at Tinsanity.net

Phoenix, I just watched all of your animations. I have to say that at first I was skeptical of your abilities. But now, after watching your Flashes, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. They are very nicely done. I really enjoy it when people don't use motion tweening and go all out for the individual keyframe animation.

My favorite one of yours was definately the religipals. I totally dig on the blasphomous humor. As a matter of fact, right now I'm working on a flash animation about Jesus and Satan being roomates. The twist is that Jesus is a slacker, and Satan works 40-hour weeks as a lawyer. Hopefully, I'll get it done sometime and I can show it to you.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

Wow, you are a FLASH MASTER. (end sarcasm).

Raise your hand if either one of you have Comedy Central on your resume or anything national for that matter.

Didn't think so.

I actually disagree-while the animation is absolutely dreadful, a lot of the comedy is quite funny. It's not all great, but there are usually a few funny comedians.

The Olive Garden--It's like eating in the private kitchen of a delightful Italian stereotype!

This show is 100% brilliant. How can anyone hate those hilarious, trash talking babies. And the stand up bits are priceless. The whole idea of the show is hilarious. It's like a funnier version of Comedy Central Presents. This show is not dreadful.

Yeah, but if you have worked with the same program they used, you'd find it annoying how Comedy Central would pay a company to make animation for them that is worse than some 14 year old's animation on Newgrounds.

This show is great. I just wish they'd show some Gabriel Iglesias stand-up and a little more Dank Cook.
