Agente Elvis

Elvis dreamt of being the hero of a comic book. He had the jumpsuit, the cape, glitter and a whole collection of police badges, even a federal narcotics badge gifted from President Nixon.

While some fans won't appreciate the Tarantino-style language and violence, Elvis would have loved it.

With his trusty sidekick Scatter (yes, Scatter was real), and Billy Ray becoming a pastiche of the Memphis Mafia, Elvis gets to take out drug dealers, Charles Manson and infiltrate the White House (yes, that's sort-of true as well, he did turn up there and got to meet Nixon) It's raucous and inconsistent but often laugh-out-loud funny and the sprinkling of Elvis songs (thanks for using Change of Habit) add to the fun.

At worst, Archer and Men In Black did it better (and first).

At best, it is a fun revisionist-history spy-comedy serial.

It does break new ground from its other comps by dialing up the cartoon nudity, cartoon sex, cartoon violence, cartoon pee, and cartoon zoophilia to 11. Part of those in that list don't feel earned; like the crude humor and side character deaths feel out of place and force just for the sake of being crude.

The voice acting is great, and the animation style is fun.

At the end of it all, I did sorta wish there was more than just 10 episodes, so I think it is worth a watch, and at least a second season.

Just because it's adult animation doesn't mean it's target audience is people in their 20's, the target is Elvis fans. I'm 35 and have been a fan of Elvis' for 22 years. I'm under 40 and I don't need to reference Wikipedia to know who Dean Martin is, unlike one user review suggested. I was born in '88 and had listened to every available recording of the Martin & Lewis radio show before I was even 20. When I watch Agent Elvis and delight in the references made about the other greats of the time, I feel like the show was made specifically for me. If a show can make a viewer feel seen, then it's a good show in my opinion.

This show pokes fun at everything Col Parker wanted Elvis to be, making light of the failed attempt at a Christmas special, the terrible movies, etc. I feel like Elvis himself would get a kick out of this show, especially with it not being G or PG rated. We all know Parker would have brokered some kind of deal with someone to make it a family friendly production and sucked the joy out of it in the process. Thankfully we have Priscilla at the helm, and considering her involvement in the Naked Gun movies, I don't doubt her judgement or sense of humour.

I don't think this show was made to revolutionise adult animation, I really think it's just a treat for Elvis fans. Everything the Presley family has done since Elvis' death has been to keep his memory alive, and having something new like this, instead of re-watching everything else he's done for the millionth time, is a refreshing way to remember and enjoy Elvis Presley.

Very adult action, humor, sex, violence. Hey its America, that's how we roll!! Lol Love it. I really believe Elvis himself would enjoy. Some of us can still keep a level head, not be offended by everything, and remember its OK and even admirable to laugh at ourselves.

The songs in background Elvis himself, how great is that. Elvis physical appearance is him at hos best, Pricilla voices herself and approved all facets. His karate, love of weapons, law enforcement appreciation all here. The time period is even accurate incorporating historic events like the Apollo 11 landing, the '68 TV Special, his dislike of Robert Goulet!! Lol

It's a cartoon people, keep that in mind so everything is amped up some.

Elvis 1968 to 1971 was about the coolest man on the planet. As cool or cooler than Elvis 1954 to 1958? Who cares!? This cartoon is late 60s, early 70s Elvis, reinvented in cartoon form as a Matt Helm/ Our Man Flint / Archer/ Johnny Bravo character. And ... it's cool! It's fun! It's stupid ... fun, cool stupid. The sort of Elvis fan who genuflects at his name will consider this toon romp as unforgiveable blasphemy, and will be most likely want to dump on the cartoon. I'm a fan of Elvis and have been for decades ... got a tattoo, everything he's recorded (bad and superb), etc. You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this series, but the silliness, stupid violence and general irreverence should give this wider appeal.

Some nice, subtle satire too.
