Universal Basic Guys

I guess folks are missing the whole point to this dimwitted hilarious animated series about dimwitted folks who do really dimwitted things because they believe that their dimwittedness is their God given right to do what they desire, regardless of the mayhem they create and the harm to fellow humans - or even what professionals and academics folks say. So basically this is taking the Mickey out of dimwits who vote, drive cars, own guns and think they know everything (from unreliable sources) about everything. At least the makers of this series treat their dimwits with love and affection of dimwitted proportions...

This came out of nowhere and I immediately looked up who created it: I'm not a fan of Game of Zones at all. I love sports but I don't like GoZ at all. Despite being a hater I needed to watch the show (especially because Fred Armisen is in it). I have enjoyed every episode and probably enjoy each more than the last. It's a goofy, dumb comedy that definitely is an acquired taste. I have seen reviews talking about disturbing cartoon imagery, but I'd have to point to Family Guy who has done some pretty rough and unsavory things over the years as well (they're still there). Despite some unsavory imagery, there is certain comedy in here and top notch comedy moments/critique on Americans. Those who don't like it for some political reasons should just not watch a show like this, which is fine. This is getting better every episode, and I look forward to what's to come.

I came here to write a scathing review to criticize how awful this is from the previews.

But after watching episode 1, it's not actually as bad as I thought.

It's a good-paced show with decent shock humor and ironic gags.

The writing is severely lacking, however. Overall, it's pretty banal, bland, basic, and boring.

Biggest critique is Hank: the worst character that has been created in the history of characters being created. Seriously, what were the writers thinking? Haha, it's funny because he's dumb and talks in a slow, stupid voice? I have to skip through his scenes because they are too infuriating to suffer through.

All in all, a 5/10. Lots of potential. Let's see if it can be fulfilled.

I'm not sure what I was expecting. I read the reviews of it before I watched it, which were poor... But I figured, "how bad could it possibly be?"

It's just not good. It's not even so bad that it's good. It's just bland and uninteresting. The writers try to go for shock-value jokes but it just falls flat. Someone should tell them that it's all been done before. It's cringy, but not so cringy that you would want to hate-watch it either. I watched the whole first episode and don't remember much about it besides something about a monkey. The only reason I don't rate it 1 star is because a 1 star level of bad is at least memorable lol.

Just another show about middle aged, suburban idiots... Like I said, the premise has been done to death already. Other shows have done crude or shock humor very well. South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, these are all great shows. But this one just tries to coast along behind in their wake.

This show is just Kirkland's brand Family Guy... Vaguely similar, but not nearly original enough to work. The creators are just about 20 years behind the times on the premise. Watch it or don't, it's your 20 minutes. But I doubt it will be around very long either way.

I'm glad that this show caters to any specific audience. Perhaps this audience is even underserved. It does not cater to me and I enjoy so many genres and so many quirky, crazy, and normal shows. The problem is that before this there was Futurama and The Simpsons and Family Guy and Bob's Burgers. This is definitely not that. From what I can tell this show is trying to write stories that serve the lowest common denominator and written for to an underserved audience, those who are recovering from anesthesia or have undergone a mental trauma. I always have respect for a show that stays true to what it's trying to do and it's trying to be stupid... It achieves that. Animation and voice acting are good though.
