The Cramp Twins

The show has some charm and fun to it. I had no idea it actually went on for 4 seasons and I can tell on a re-watch, that 4 seasons was very generous In respect to the actual depth of worthwhile content the show could churn out.

Cramp Twins is at its heart, over the top Slice of Life, following brothers Lucien and Wayne on their everyday adventures. Their everyday adventures aren't exactly normal. They live in a small city near a swamp and somehow their lives are jam packed and there's numerous ways for Lucien and Wayne to find themselves in all kinds of trouble and adventures. Side characters also play their part, the brother's friends and family act as the supporting cast and they do a decent job of it, though there's little development for any character really.

Cramp Twins has a bit of charm to it, in it's prime the humour is cynical yet passable, the character shaped out well enough and the variety in episodic segments is initially worth getting into. The show is a tad mean spirited. It loves to take a dig at its characters and make fun of them. Most of the time it's controlled but as the seasons progress the show becomes more of a joke on itself. Animation and plot suffer in the last 2 seasons of the show as the adventures become either too far fetched or bland, generally losing inspiration.

I had some fun watching this show, I rolled my eyes watching this show, in the end, it's worth it for the nostalgia, nothing else really .

Although this is not the best of the best that cartoon network had to offer, it's definitely way better than people claim. In fact, it's pretty good! Yes, this is not as good as courage the cowrdy dog, samurai jack or powerpuff girl, but it' a very unique and chill show which manages to be weird but still remaining chill. The humor is different from most anything else, being pretty direct and rough, not trying to be too crazy or too complex either, but it's effective and enjoyable. The world is very unique as well and it remains grounded in reality, more so than any comedy that I've seen on cartoon network, which I find fascinating. It's basically a semi-realistic, semi-comedy show that I don't think you can find anywhere else.

The downside is that it tends to be a bit bland and simplistic. Anyway, this is one of the most underrated cartoon shows along side spaced out and maybe ozzy and drix, although not as good as the last two.

To be honest, I got interested in this show last year, But looking back at this today.. Well now there's black cruel spirit into it. Fox and Cartoon Network had nothing to do with it. This was a true nightmare. The biggest flaw I have with it is.. FoxBox's 1st one character they call charming Wow, praising backstabbing comic reliefs How outstanding.... But that would the be the worst character in the series That would be Wayne Cramp. He's just a mix of Sonic, Both Naruto and Sasuke, Mordecai (while being a jerk) Gumball and Bloo. And what kind of lame catchphrase would he say Girl pants. Ah, Wayne you pedophile! I never wanna see you traitor and your dirty shenanigans ever again! 5/10 Mediorce

When I originally saw the commercials for The Cramp Twins, I was curious, but not really excited. The animation looked rather disappointing (the black lines around each character and the bizzare colors don't really add to the effect), but I decided to give it a shot anyway. After just a few episodes, I realized that something: IT SUCKS! The characters are flatter than cardboard, and I'm not talking about the animation style. Lucien is a dork, Wayne is a psycho, their mom is a neat-freak to end all neat-freaks, and their father... well, he's just an idiot.

The whole show makes my stomach turn, there's nothing new or original about it, and watching Wayne and Lucien fight is a disappointment (Wayne calls him "girl-pants", which was funny for the first five minutes, but now it's just annoying). Their friends are even weirder; Lucien hangs out with a boy who is about a foot tall, and apparently from a tribe of Swamp People (as if that makes any sense).

This show is a living nightmare, and needs to be canceled as soon as possible.

When The Cramp Twins first started, I loved it. But the later episodes are really repetitive, unoriginal and random, not to mention predictable. The story lines were often simple which isn't a bad thing, but while the early episodes had humour that was funny, the later episodes don't work up to that level, in fact the humour in the later episodes is juvenile and really random.

The animation was pretty good, the colours were bright and the characters were interestingly drawn, while I was never a fan of the theme tune I often loved the incidental music. The writing was to start off humorous and engaging, but like the humour it became juvenile. I had mixed feelings on the characters.

I always liked Lucien and Tony, and I did like Wayne until the writers went overboard and made him a completely unlikeable jerk. The parents had their moments but they weren't enough to make them completely likable, while I never could stand Wendy. On a plus side, the only really consistently good asset was the voice acting, both Tom Kenny and Kath Soucie are great as Wayne and Lucien. Overall, it was a good show but then it became random and juvenile and I didn't like it as much. 6/10 Bethany Cox
