Agua Donkeys

Well, maybe if you found this review, you HAVE heard of Agua Donkeys, the most original comedy I've seen in ten years or more. This show takes the style of Napoleon Dynamite to new levels, and has completely revolutionized the genre. Most of Quibi is nonsense, but this has made the free trial totally worth the price.

Chunky gainers off the Sleepy Seagull Motel. This episode was pure poignant GOLD! BRAVO!

Gentle and delightful, an absurdist reflection of the adolescent experience.

MP and Jer (although well past their teenage years) are the bumbling "Everyboy" of small-town suburbia.

These two are blithely charming and so very relatable in their struggle against authority, and in their pursuit of love! They are dumb--but they are also, pure, loyal, and likeable.

The characters and writing are surprisingly rich for such a short format: You will recognize your own first boss, your teenage job, your first infatuation (everybody had a Jackie!), your boyhood best friend, your alpha man-crush... Oh! and Leonard, the crusty ex-con was spot on!!

Shadows of Napoleon Dynamite? Yes, but with more links to reality. Agua Donkeys is a stupid, strange, and sweet reminiscence of when life was young.

I recommend it, highly!

The short episodes of Aqua Donkeys are super convenient and will have you wanting more. The fun writing and dry humor from MP and Jer make for a good fit and mellow experience.

LetterKenny comes stateside. But slowed down several notches.

'Excuse me, sir. Sorry to interrupt your day, but could I ask you a quick question? What do you call that? What you're doing with your sunglasses?" "It's just where I put them when I don't need them." WTAF?!?! Never would I ever have come up with something so outlandish, so stupid, so oblivious and so pure. The boneheaded sincerity of Jer and MP is gobsmackingly amazing. Color me hornswoggled and intrigued.

The complex simplicity of the bromance at the heart of Agua Donkeys is well worth the 61 minute investment.

It does put a smile on my face, a chuckle in my belly and furrow across my forehead. Deadpan, absurdist humor has found a new bedfellow.

Mellow.
