Funniest show i've ever seen
Seriously. This show is incredibly smart and hilarious.
shareSmart? SMART?! Are you serious?! What on EARTH is smart about this show? This is no longer a matter of taste, smart is an observable thing, so please give me a few examples of any sign of intelligence in this show.
"It is not heresy. And I will not recant."
If you don't think that whole scene in the mattress store in the 2nd episode wasn't smart, you're not watching carefully.
See, no one is saying that the characters are smart of their own accord; but being able to create characatures of these personality traits, shows a kind of intelligence of social commentary that I wish SO many more television shows had.
Right, the scene where the squid rapes the customer's wife saying "Watch me or I won't get off!" Sorry I don't see the mighty brilliance in such dialogue.
"It is not heresy. And I will not recant."
damn son, calm yourself. maybe you should quit looking at the characters and the OBVIOUS instances of idiocy. its a great show and it is smart. the example you chose is like saying 1 out of 10 people are ugly, and just putting spotlight on the ugly one.
shareNo, I chose that scene because the person before me chose to highlight it. All I'm asking for is a non-vague example of some of the intelligent humor and all I've gotten is "You're focussing too much on the stupid parts, focus on the smart ones."
"It is not heresy. And I will not recant."
The writing is incredibly sharp, and the matress store scene is a great example. "Second coming of your caah or store credit"
I love this show because it's twisted. I think it's pretty well written, in that it's funny. The pacing, plots, and characters all work together, and while it may not be tasteful, it all works to a brilliant effect.
"It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache."
Wow, "genius" and "brillant" just don't mean what they used to...
"It is not heresy. And I will not recant."
Okay, so it's not brilliant, but it's damn funny.
"It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache."
You wanna sleep forever?! I said ah-dult li-tit-ure!
shareI prefer, ah-dult lit-ter-ray-ture.
Squidbillies, like virtually all AS, should not be taken so seriously. If so, then it's horrible to watch. Check the brains at the door and it's fun. Yes, I've checked my brains at the door, and I've always reclaimed them.
It's a VAST improvement over Super Milk Chan and hell of a lot better than 12 oz. mouse (which does have a great intro).

i believe the only notable way to elude someones assumption, that they in fact have the only silver tongue, is to speak to them in a demeanor which will eradicate their pretentious semblance. do i have your ears? if you cant conceive the virtual understanding that the words "sun bitch" phrased in an allusion of southern accent, so as to render white trash images to white trash speech funny, than there is no reason for you to inform people of your disregard for their style of humor. i assume greatly that your conjecture on this topic's only basis was your inclusive knowledge of humor that isnt thrown in your face and easily read. i assume the two sentences "it is not heresy. And i will not recant" jiggles your fiddle? do you really think because someone uses larger than average words a sentence becomes funny? youre thinking right now, "recant, thats not a large word idiot". i do not usually speak like this, and im hoping you understand the definition of the word 'magniloquent'. i thought that i would achieve someones respect who obviously has no idea of the expressivity in subtle humor, just to finish off the rant with.. i hate people like you, you elitest *beep*
"i swear to god, if you say anything about capitalization, i will crush your intellect. by the way, you suck again"
Just a small point, but being from Alabama, I must let you know that it's "sumbitch." :-)
shareHahahahahahaha. I would've been too discouraged to put the effort into tellin' that sumabitch off, properly! But you did it dispatch, and it was articulmacated, and hilariousity.

Damn thats pretty hilarious.
shareif your looking for a brilliant plot or writing in a 15 minute show your watching the wrong channel man.
adult swim is cartoons.
we don't watch the shows to learn life lessons
or have a eye opening experience or anything like that.
go watch american idol or grey's anatmony you *beep*
Daelock, if you don't think this show is smart, you are retarded. Mental retardation is a measurable thing, and I'm sure when you got tested for it, you were off the charts.

First off, I am not one to watch 'these' sorts of shows. That said, I do think Squidbillies is a fantastic social commentary which is why I continue to enjoy it immensely.
No doubt a lot of the humor is crude, vulgar, and cheap, but there is so much more below the surface and between the dialogue if one is willing to look.
There are definitely a lot of 'smart' things about the series.
The first example that comes to mind if the implication of how poor the state of law enforcement is; the fact that the policing officials are so incredibly dumb that they are portrayed as being plucked as ears of corn.

Daelock you must have never heard "watch with an open mind."
Or you don't know what it means. Pick your poison.
This show is hilarious, IF you have a sense of humor....
shareTo the guy being a dick. It's hard to establish the link that makes things clever. But in this show it's how it subtly mirrors what's really going on in the world while masking it at the same time. Making in appear to be a completely juvenile show, but when you actually watch it from an adult perspective you start picking up on little bits that don't quite belong and that a kid would not understand.
How about now get suckered into believing a show is just completely dumb and unintelligent just because of the style and the general subject matter. It just shows that you don't pay attention.
Prick.
