Apocalypse Lane: Episode One: Big Pete's Funeral

[Disembodied_Dave]

Just while were on this topic, I would just like to request a serious cartoon, made by anybody. Like, serious, dramatic. I dunno, just an idea. OOH Maybe violent too.

Absolutely. Comedy is great and all, but I'd love to see a Western (ie non-anime) animated drama.

As for this show.. It seems pretty meh so far. Almost like something that would be aired on comedy central for a season before being canceled.
I'll give it a couple more episodes before really deciding.

Well it's better than Unskippable, but that's not saying much.

 

[Syphonz]

ehh. I'll tune in next time, then make my judgement. At least it has a shivel of creativity about it... Unlike per se: Unskippable.

 

[Bagaloo]

Not particularly great in my opinion, but a few moments were funny. I'll probably give next week a try before deciding to follow it or not.

 

[Doomdiver]

Quite liked it, not sure where they are going to go and where the lasting appeal is though. I quite liked the shoulder character.

 

[Aegwadar]

I was expecting much better... I'll give it a couple more episodes, before I draw a conclusion...

 

[Ergoemos]

I kinda liked it myself. In fact, the first impression I got from it was that it was perhaps from Adult Swim, on Cartoon network. Pretty funny, not amazing, but I could see it going for a while.

I suppose, since the makers would rather have some sort of constructive criticism, rather than "meh, not as good as ----- but better than -----," Would be that there needs to be either a slightly more concentrated bit of humor, or just a little longer, it was just short enough to wish there had been more humor, but long enough to not warrant something that would be considered a "short" in my book.

 

[Cabamacadaf]

Wasn't that funny, maybe it'll get better though.

 

[Dreolic]

well now I can die knowing I have seen the crappiest thing every made

 

[elvor0]

eeeh, It just seems as if it's a rip off of American Dad/Family. I mean it could be funny, and I'll continue watching it to see if it gets any better but hmm...

 

[Samoftherocks]

This show exists somewhere between Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Oblongs, and the Squidbillies with maybe a hint of American Dad (the alien and the goldfish played by the cat and the sock puppet).

As I enjoy those shows to a point, I think this will carry on as being enjoyable to a point, but enjoyable nonetheless. Hopefully they provide some good character development and not pidgeonhole them into being minutely different shades of retarded.

Cuddles is the best part so far since he reminds me of an angry, knife-wielding Carl, but the priest and the old lady have good potential. I will be watching next week.

 

[llewgriff]

eh.. I almost laughed when the cat pulled a knife on the big lady. It was ok I suppose, I hope it gets better.

 

[0p3rati0n]

the great roster FTW! This was hilarious XD

 

[mr rofl]

I actually thought it was funny; a lot better than the majority of the Escapist's shows.

I think I know who Father Hickey's drawing was based off of:

Spoiler

IT CANNOT BE UNSEEN!!!


I dunno, i would like to quickly denounce this as another unfunny escapist series, but ill wait for another episode.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

That definitely failed to hold my interest, nothing actually happened.

 

[wowcrendor]

That definitely failed to hold my interest, nothing actually happened.

Agreed.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

I'll give it another shot next week. This episode had it's moments, and has the potential to become a truly funny black comedy.

 

[MattKirby]

its... quite... Meh. I suppose It's not bad. but Not quite what I like. Bit, Disgusting?

And poor Pete tastes like "shit" to quote the cat whose name I forget... Cuddles was it?

Exactly, but it does have potential. It was good for a good intro to characters though.
