YOLO: Crystal Fantasy

Most people watch this animated series and think, did someone slip something in my drink, and for good reason. This series seems, for most viewers, to be over the top, but this is because most people have never been to the fabled land of Australia.

As any Aussie can attest, flying Ute parties, Double Terry Cups, and bush ragers are all quite real outback phenomena, and for years the real Australians have been clamoring for a piece of entertainment that properly and realistically portraits the every day lives of these industrious, stubby drinking legends.

Cheers to Michael Cussack for finally bringing the truth of Australia to the rest of the world. #SaveOurStralians

This is such a weird, fast-paced animated trip, and you don't even need drugs to help. But as an American, I love and appreciate this change of pace. Side note: This is the beginning of something big...mark my words, Michael Cusack will be the next big voice in adult animation, will even replace Justin Roiland. I love weird, I love wacky, as long as the humor syncs with my own style. I'm also a sucker for Australian culture and entertainment, especially as of late with the new Hulu semi-hit "Koala Man," which I also recommend. This show has it all, it seems. It lacks direction, but that's what makes it fun.

As a side note, it feels like "Super Jail" had an Aussie baby with "Squidbillies." I swear, is Rachael even human? Or is she a demon from hell, hellbent on just trying her/its best to fit in with humanity?

This show feels like you need drugs of any and all sorts. You do, and you do not. It also makes you want to be Australian, for some weird reason. It's loaded with Australian culture, and you'd have to be a bloody wally (yes I looked that up) to turn away that charming Australian accent that ALL the characters have.

This show has the feeling of that obtuse, singled-out kiosk at a trendy art fair that pulls you in and makes you hate yourself for having the slightest interest in what it's selling. It feels like the avant-garde indie flick at Sundance that just "works." It's got so many issues and eyebrow-raising moments that you doubt it often, but then it pulls you in with it's quick wit and charm.

I dunno. I recognize it's stupid, and I'm sure it's more fun for someone who enjoys some of the more "recreational" substances, but I feel like it can be enjoyed by anyone who loves strange, random, Aussie humor.

I'm gonna start off with saying that no, this is not a show for everyone, so I completely understand if some people don't like it. But personally, I really enjoy it, it has a weird style of comedy, I like both Rachel and Sara(more so Rachel), and it has a crude yet somewhat appealing art style, what can I say? It's something different, it's absurd, but enjoyable. I'm glad that the show doesn't rely on a bunch of sex jokes or toilet humor, it's nice to see adult swim give other indie/small creators like this a shot. Give it a shot, if you don't like it then try some of adult swims other indie shows.

Loved it.

Reminds me of Superjail.

Watched with my cat.

He enjoyed it as well.

I have watched the first season over and over and praying for a 2nd season 🙏🙏🙏 it's themes are so unusual and unexpected that its the perfect trippy cartoon to watch when you're tired of all the vanilla shows people are recommending. I also love smiling friends, and notice many similarities between these shows. YOLO is a must-watch adult swim show that should not be slept on.
