Royal Crackers

Royal Crackers is pretty damn good imo. Idk, talking about every day topics in an absurdist manner, commenting on the antiquated nature our society has with old industry, also, it's funny! Not everything works and I think the flash animation kind of messed with people, like because it isn't pretty it isn't good. Theo is hilarious, there are real people like him and they are kind of strange shapes, as if the universe is laughing at itself. The old industry is hinted at throughout the show like one of the patriarch's friends and in flashbacks etc. Stebe? That's funny dumb humor that I like. The Deb character has a sincerity and irony to her and it is great, the kid? Hilarious, somehow I have had some, remember now some moments relatable to him. The patriarch is funny too.

Royal crackers has been an absolute joy so far. Seeing the trailers for this show I didn't have high expectations but its really proven to be a witty, creative, fun show. Its like "Bobs Burgers" meets "It's always sunny in Philadelphia". The humor is bizarre and and they really take chances but the writing is great. TThe characters are deep and complex, they all play off of each other really well, they are the worst kind of people but somewhat endearing at the same time. I highly suggest you give this show a chance, its definitely not for everyone but I think most people will be pleasantly surprised with what they find when they then into "Royal Crackers".

Last two episodes of this show were great and amusing! The start of the show had a very slow onset and I agree it was rather boring. Then it took a turn and we got to see more of the personalities of the characters and the plot unfolded into surreal bowl of pleasant chaos. The animation has a very minimalistic style which is not usual for this decade anymore and I personally enjoy to see this "low effort animation". It really is a matter of taste! The scenes are often repetitive with zero change almost like it's a loop but being put in the right moment they came out as hilarious. Curious how the season 2 will turn out.

Soooo... Not great.. not great at all - so far all they've seemed to do is nibble on the Simpsons in a manner alleges to be an homage but more likely some content padding and worse yet - heavily punch the Bidet joke - which, of course, is literal bathroom humor and simply isn't funny - I feel there's still potential here and who am I to criticize right ? (other than the fact I watch a ton, like all, of the animated shows) but we'll see - also the animation is poor and utilizes repetitive frames which, ya I get it, but when your attempting to land a Family Guy-esque drawn out gag, ya know.. Do the darn work - it's not the money it's the honey right? And the honey just ain't flowing!

All I feel the need to say is that the show is worthy of your time despite the rough exterior. This feels like something Adult Swim would have put out in it's earliest days while also embracing the vulnerability a lot of more modern comedies aren't afraid to have. Whether it be Arrested Development, Bob's Burgers, Bojack Horseman, or Home Movies, this show is never afraid to wear it's influences proudly. And why wouldn't it? Royal Crackers is as every bit familiar as it is inspired. For every scene that feels like comedic homage, there are multiple scenes in this show that simply don't have an equivalent anywhere else (anyone who has seen the season 1 finale will understand what I mean). If you are a fan of classic Adult Swim, THIS is a show you need to check out. I am eager for season 2.
