    Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
    Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
    brandondane This show is great. I ran across it recently when visiting my parents in Texas. There was a late night marathon. BUT, I grew up in rural Arkansas and lived in Atlanta for a few years (sometimes spending weekends in the North Georgia Mountains). Really.If people only knew how close to the truth this show is to the rural South, then they would be astounded. Sure, it's a tad excessive, but not too much. Take it from me-- I'm half Redneck on my Mama's side.The "symbolism" of things throughout the South is rather amazing. I would have to assume that some or all of the creators are from somewhere in the region.Good stuff.
    James Parsons Wow, verbusen from Kuwait needs to lighten up. With all due respect, it's an 11-minute Adult Swim cartoon. Squidbillies does not set out to make everybody in Georgia out to be backwoods hicks. It is not a social commentary, it's a comedic animated short about redneck squids. I personally think this show is hilarious, but you have to follow along with the commentary as it moves fast and the humor lies in the dialog. The very premise is absurd, but then again so are talking fast food items (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) or a superhero attorney (Harvey Birdman). These cartoons feature talented writers that offer up ridiculous plots and clever writing, meant to be laughed at and not scrutinized for their value to society.
    MalibuLar I've loved the Simpsons, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Ren & Stimpy, and Invader Zim, but Squidbillies is by far the hardest that I have laughed.If you want proof, go to the AdultSwim website and watch the clip called "office politics trouble". Background: Early is a squid in the hills of Georgia. His family consists of his son Rusty, grandma, and his sister Lil. They're hillbillies and not terribly... bright, conscientious, or anything else for that matter, except drunk, perhaps.It airs on Cartoon Network at midnight(ish), EST. I pray that they release more episodes, beyond the six that they have now - those six are massive comedic diamonds, though!
    pmason5000 The pilot was the funniest 15 min. of animation I've ever seen. Sure, It's got the potential to go stale; you can only be cutting-edge for so long. But, "Squids" is the most accurate depiction of north GA poor white trash since Deliverence. The characters possess subtle nuances that maybe only natives of that region will recognize, but the context of their shenanigans should be hilarious to the general public, much like the antics presented in classic TV shows such as The Beverly Hillbillies and The Andy Griffith Show. Early's ignorance is deplorable, but deep down, anyone who slaves away as a member of the proletariat has got to applaud his Freebird-esquire bravado. Also the show's take on as evangelism, the military industrial complex, rampant consumerism and relationships are unique and refreshing, shown through the southern eyes of an unskilled, underprivileged, ignorant cephalopod.
