...ugh.
Ten years ago, i probably would have loved this show. I might have called it "boundary-pushing" or "a new paradigm in gleefully offensive comedy." Today? Not so much. Our current mode of animated humor, which blossomed twenty-five years ago with The Simpsons, became overripe with Family Guy, has finally collapsed into a pile of rotting biomass with Brickleberry.
If you've never seen an episode of Brickleberry, let me save you some time. Each one goes like this...
"LESBIANS. FAT PEOPLE. BLACK PEOPLE. FAT BLACK LESBIANS. JEWS AND MEXICANS AND ABORTION AND FAT LESBIAN ABORTIONS. STUPID REDNECK LESBIANS, BLACK PEOPLE, HA HA! QUEERS AND JEWS. FAT LAZY BLACK MEXICANS. BEING HURT. THAT'S FUNNY. HEY! HEY, YOU! LOOK AT THOSE LAZY JEWISH FAT QUEER LESBIAN MEXICANS!!!"
....oh, and there's a bear that has the voice of Daniel Tosh. That doesn't help.
Hey, people who made this show! You know why everyone likes Bob's Burgers waaaaaay more than Brickleberry? It's probably because that show has characters that are likable, and you kinda care what happens to them. Sure, it's just ink and paint, but when you see Bob or Louise or Tina or Gene, you don't immediately hate them and want them to shut the hell up and just go away and leave you alone.
