#1 Happy Family USA

This is a funny show.

It is pretty well written, the jokes are very relatable for me (as an immigrant Egyptian) and it doesn't constraint itself with "societal norms".

Some people might find some of the jokes offensive and I get it, but it's funny so either laugh or don't watch it.

The show also addresses immigrants and their families' experiences in a comedic way but the struggles and the fitting in mentality is real, we need to embrace our culture while accepting integrating into a new culture.

Ramy Youssef had his run with "ramy" but I am also glad he tried animation this time, a very talented guy and I can't wait for his next projects. Kudos to the team.

I laughed so hard as this reminded me of my upbringing in an immigrant family attempting to assimilate in a new country, but only making it worse as we could not shake off what the local folks called "strange culture behaviour" (Sicilians associated with those gangsters. So you could say that after the release of The Godfather, our lives was never the same as we had to live up to the hype). But this animation series has an edge as it deals with Muslims living in New York on the aftermath of 9/11. To top it all off, it is blessed with the comedic talents of Ramy Youssef, as writer and the voice of the young Rumi Hussein, trying so hard to just be a normal kid, but met with racial intolerance and other obstacles associated with the horrors of pubescence. A fresh perspective on growing up in a hostile environment with a zany family making it even more complicated for poor Rumi...

The TV show Ramy is a wonderfully introspective meditation on modern life as a religious minority. But it's not really funny in a ha ha way, which is strange because creator Ramy Yousef is known as a stand-up comedian.

This might be closer to the mark for those looking for a combination of introspective and funny Ramy.

The show is based on Ramy's memories (also mentioned in his stand-up act) of growing up as a bullied Muslim in the wake of 9/11. It adds a serious satirical punch to the typical high school tropes without getting too preachy.

The show has a few gimmicks that feel a little scatter shot. His crush on his teacher fantasy or the occasional musical number blurs the line between fantasy and reality in a way that wouldn't be out of place for Family Guy or Solar Opposites.

On the upside, jokes that miss are rare and there are a few stand-out characters: Ramy's teacher is a wonderfully strange mix of spacey, tone-deaf, non-plussed and misguidedly enthusiastic. Ramy's grandmother has a dependably humorous voice and serves as a niqab and is a traditionalist contrast to his integration-minded father who's funny in the opposite direction.

With time, there's every reason to believe this show will grow on its first season foundation.

There's already a warning at the beginning saying this show isnt trying to represent all muslims so i dont know why people are mad. It's not that crazy that a muslim family in the west doesn't follow islam that well. A muslim person myself, i personally know a lot who don't.

This show reminds me of fresh off the boat tbh but a bit more political. None of the characters are too annoying and i actually like this art style. I really hope this show doesn't get canceled and they decide to make less shows about arabs. I loved ramy youssef in ramy and i think this was a decent shot in animation for him.

This is an amazing animated comedy. It captures how life must have really been during that horrible period in history, but with an unapologetically funny take on it. It's definitely absurd comedy at its finest. Amazing show and I really hope there's at least a season 2. It may not make sense at first but it gets better and better with every episode. It's worth a watch and it reminds me of a concept adopted from classic animated comedy series. Ramy Youseff is a genius and it's a hilarious thing to put on. (Sorry for the yap I gotta meet a minimum required character to even publish this comment)
