Freakshow is the worst television show, animated or not, I have seen in a long time. That's saying something... we are living in the golden age of **** television. It's like they are trying sooooo hard to be edgey in a trendy sense... bad news... you're not "Freaking me out."

I think the thing that bother's me the most is I can't tell 80% of the character's apart.... because David Cross does 80% of the voices. Taking a page from Seth McFarlin no doubt.... but the difference... Seth changes his voice for different people. David Cross' comedy is bad enough... why is this guy popular enough to have a cartoon?

To Summarize:

Getting Kicked in the face> Getting Kicked in the Nuts >Freakshow

Lol, you know whats funny? I just got done watching Freak Show for the 3rd time today, and was telling my friend how it was one of the funniest shows ive seen in a long time...

The show, IMO, is just completely hilarious. Just some of the stuff they do and talk about just cracks me up. I don't like watching cartoons anymore, but this show along with Family Guy are a couple of my favorite shows on television right now.

Just making sure.


Even if you like his ranty political droning, that show is just so terribly done. I've tried to watch 3 different episodes. MAYBE if I had never seen any Adult Swim shows or Family Guy I'd think this was fresh... but all the rehashed old jokes, "Haha, get it... Bearded Clam... do... do you get it?" Sooo poorly done.

I hate this show, I also hate that I've been trying to sleep for 2 hours. HATEHATEHAHTEHAT HATFOGHAT

I think it's intentionally bad. That's what makes it good.

You're telling me you can listen to Shut Up You ******* Baby, or The Pride Is Back, and not laugh?

I did listen to Shut Up You ****ing Baby (and yes I do mean all the way through). I probably thought some things were funny, but most of it I found obvious.

I think maybe the hating his standup is my fault and a matter of taste due to the fact that I think political humor needs to be ungodly funny for me to like it. I like to listen to comedians/watch comedic films to escape from the problems of the world. Considering how many of the world's problems are govermental, I tend to stay away from this style.

But, back to the subject: Awful, Freakshow is Awful.

DON'T Compare it to drawn together... I love drawn together! Now that's edgy/out there without being a big turd. They actually hire real voice actors, decent animators, decent writers who come up with things that are funny. I didn't want to like drawn together, but after a couple episodes, I love it. I tried doing that with Freakshow (assuming I'd like it)... nope.
