Exploding Kittens

What's great about other Oatmeal's art is its cute sarcasm: it's sharp and unforgiving, yet kinda lovable. Even monster babies are adorable, in their own disgusting way - but it's still delivering the point, like "cats rules, babies suck", and the like.

Here, the cuteness of the characters is all there - the art style of the drawings is transitioned into the animation quite impeccably: everything looks ugly and beautiful at the same time. The voice acting is a good match, too - mostly, anyway. But the sarcasm is severely lacking.

It's just too nice.

Don't get me wrong, there still are fairly sharp jokes and puns and some sarcastic attitude (like the fair part of the SeaWorld episode), but the whole premise of God being selfish jerk is lost pretty much in episode 1, and the evil is pretty much never materialises at any point. And all the family values...

Too nice.

I sat down one night, popcorn in hand, To watch "Jurassic Park," the best in the land.

But what did I see? To my surprise, Exploding kittens before my eyes!

Cartoon cats, oh so cute, Blowing up, in hot pursuit.

Expecting dinos, but got this instead, Funny felines messing with my head.

Their antics were wild, their humor quite bold, A show full of laughter, stories untold.

No T-Rex roaring, no Velociraptor chase, Just kittens with bombs all over the place.

Animation bright, voices so clear, Quirky adventures, plenty to cheer.

Though it wasn't the dino flick I craved, "Exploding Kittens" still had me enslaved.

A solid 7, for fun and delight, But for Jurassic thrills, I'll switch tonight.

Kittens, you were great, you played your part, But nothing beats dinos, they steal my heart.

It is on the same level as good as Family Guy or American Dad, beautifully executed and super hilarious, thanks!

But just because IMDB insist on longer reviews, here's an extended version: " Sure! Here's the expanded review:

This animation stands on the same level of excellence as shows like Family Guy and American Dad. The execution is nothing short of beautiful, blending sharp, vibrant visuals with fluid motion that keeps the eye engaged. The humor is super hilarious, striking a perfect balance between wit and absurdity, ensuring that every episode leaves you in stitches. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique quirks and comedic timing that adds depth and variety to the show. The storyline is consistently entertaining, with clever writing and unexpected twists that keep you eagerly anticipating what comes next. Overall, it's a fantastic blend of humor, artistry, and storytelling that makes it a must-watch for any animation enthusiast. Thanks for creating such an enjoyable show!"

Perhaps the mere fact that my low expectations were so widely exceeded OR.. or... And bear with me now (is it 'bear' or 'bare'? ).. OR perhaps it's just REALLY GOOD (cause it IS), but I'm loving this! And for the official record, my pedigree in western animation is substantial (don't tell anyone but I actually watch em all, which for a middle aged white guy, is sad?) but, ya this is solid 100 percent worth your time! Animation 9 voice acting 9 Story 9 (so why did I give it an 8? Lol, cause for me 9s are 10s and I reserve 10s for the all time like an Attenborough documentary or Rick and Morty, sooo...)

Exploding Kittens is an absolute blast! The show brilliantly captures the quirky, fun essence of the original card game, delivering laugh-out-loud moments in every episode. The animation is vibrant and energetic, perfectly complementing the zany antics of the characters. The humor is spot-on, appealing to both kids and adults alike, with witty dialogue and clever scenarios that keep you eagerly awaiting the next explosion of fun. Whether you're a fan of the game or new to the franchise, Exploding Kittens is a must-watch for anyone looking for a wildly entertaining and hilariously unpredictable experience.
