    Steineded How sad is this?
    Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
    Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
    Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
    SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Frisky Dingo is a bizarrely titled, and simply bizarre animated comedy that comes in 10 minute episodes. Over the course of two seasons we followed Killface, an evil supervillain, and Awesome-X a superhero. However, this is very different to everything you've seen before. The hero is a complete jackass, and not in the cocky kind of Tony Stark way. He is stupid and arrogant, but somehow his enthusiasm makes him very likable. He acts how he majority of us would probably act with superpowers. He has great powers and no responsibility. Killface is also not the typical villain, especially in season two when he runs for president. Killface is bringing up a son, and also has to deal with paperwork and politics of being a bad guy. It isn't as easy as just being evil. The world is also filled with wonderful side characters that seem to each want their own moment in the sun. The writing is very quick and has some wonderful lines based on absurd premises. The series does become too reliable on a particularly one note character come the second season, and it's a shame the story never really continued. What we do get is a show that's easy to digest in short increments or a lengthy marathon session.
    El_DustinD The characters are great and the brilliant lines come often. "Boosh" has been a part of my daily speech ever since. It's so sad that it only lasted 2 seasons.If you have yet to see the show, you have to watch at least 6 episodes before you give up. I enjoy the first few, but the show really hits its stride once you get to know the characters. There is a lot of joke repetition and some things start to get funnier and funnier just because you wonder when you will hear the joke or line again. The creators went on to make the show Archer. I certainly like that show, but I'd give it up to hang with Killface for just one more season.
    BT Cassidy Frisky dingo is a genius piece of animation and story telling. While each season is broken up into episodes it's worth watching the whole of each season in one sitting to follow the plot line. Yes, there is a plot line, unlike other Adult swim series' and it is beautifully twisted, warped and wrapped around itself. The comedy is genius, especially the acknowledgement of "If you say it once it's funny, twice it's clever, three times is sheer genius" I mean a pickle, having such an ongoing part in the storyline. The characterisation is brilliant, with great dialog and sounds. The animation, while on the cheap side, definitely does the job, and doesn't distract you from the show at all. While there is a big cast, the characters are well defined enough to follow on an individual basis. If you only by one Adult Swim product, Frisky Dingo is the best choice, for laughs, memorable lines and clever plotting.
    paperballet I would like to exclaim my undying support to the boys and girls at Adult Swim for making fine 18-35 demographic television for smart, funny people who have an often times ironic lifestyle. this show is another shining example of why i call Adult Swim "Television's Candy"- because, well it so is. the characters are often confused and normal- concerned with Cobra insurance and HMOs but the social commentary, once again, makes Cartoon Network look even better by allowing off-color humor to become a valuable, if not indispensable, part of entertainment. i cannot get enough of Killface. his sexual ambiguity and the violence that are sometimes even absurd for his "villain-esque" character make me giggle with delight. my boyfriend and i quote this show on a regular basis. i am now simply waiting on the DVD and a new season. this, i hope, is the future of television for my age. a 30-something adult with existential googly eyes awaiting more absurd TV. the genius of this show is fast dialog and a nurturing of characters like only the makers of sea lab could provide. bravo guys.
