The Freak Brothers

I own a bunch of the old Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics, so I'm quite familiar with the characters and genre of humor, but this show is an abomination in just about every way imaginable. It's shockingly unfunny, for starters.

At least one reviewer mentioned that this show must be for fans of the comics, but I'm here to tell you otherwise. I can't abide it.

Really about all I can say for this show is that it pushes all the wrong buttons for me and I will most definitely not be watching it any further. Hopefully it fades into obscurity very soon.

I was looking forward to regressing to 1969, but the writing is substandard for the talent. The graphics are amazing but non-existent plot didn't hold my interest.

If they reduced the cliches, slowed the pace and added better scripts, I might be interested in watching it again. They've captured the rude, crude dudes from the comic book, but it's not humorous anymore.

Despite liking the three guys playing the brothers, this is some unfunny stuff. They all pass out for decades, okay sure, why not. But the jokes just aren't there. And John Goodman doing a high pitched stoner voice just isn't working for me. He should've played it more in his natural voice. This show is definitely for the fans of the original comic book which I'm guessing is a very selective audience.

My husband read the comics back in the day and loved them. So when he saw the animated show on Tubi he was thrilled, me not so much. I was afraid it was going to be stupid and I'm not a Davidson fan.

With that said, it's funny as hell IF YOU ENJOY STONER HUMOR. If you do not, don't bother. But if you do watch now! Ms. Haddish as the Cat steals the show. She is side splitting funny. Harrelson is exceptional, Davidson surprised me...maybe because I don't have to look at his ugly face. The weirdest is Goodman. He just sounds wrong. I was hoping for a moon more 'Big Lebowski' type voice.

The Freak Brothers made a Timeskip to 2020 and it works. I own some of the Comic Books and it's funny to see them exploring our time today. And with John Goodman and Woody Harrelson it has some excellent Speakers. If you like freaky Cartoons and Stoner Humor then this is for you.
