    The Next great MTV toon

    First it was Bevis and Butthead, then it was Daria followed by Celebrity Deathmatch, and now it 3 South. This is the next ( and likely the last) great MTV cartoon (or show of any type). This show is really clever and never dissapoints. I give it 9/10

    Comic genius

    First off I would like to say that Steve Callaghan and Erik Flester are two very talented writers. Some previous works included Ren and Stimpy and Futurama. The evidence of comedy is apparent in 3-South. Next, I think this show is outstanding. The characters are very different from anything I've seen before. The comedy comes from not only the writing but they way the actors deliver their lines. Brain Posehn is extremely talented and hilarious. The way he says something is just as funny as the line he says. 10/10 for this great show.

    The Best Show You've Never Seen

    "3-South" is easily the funniest and least-known animated series of all-time. Never before have I laughed so hard while watching TV, and never before have I laughed so hard while just thinking about the moments from the show that really get to you.

    The show takes place at a fictional college known around the nation as terrible (Barder College), following three freshmen: Stanford (Brian Dunkleman), Del (Brian Posehn), and the intelligent Joe (chose Barder as a safety school, just in case he wasn't accepted to his first choice Harvard) voiced by the show's creator and "Family Guy" writer Mark Hentemann.

    Its humor is absurd, but laugh-out-loud funny. It's the kind of show that makes you think, "Damn! I wish I would've thought of that!" which is really what makes a show great. I give it 10/10. If it wasn't for MTV's terrible promotion of the show, it would still be on, and, most likely, alongside such great animated series as "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy".

    Easily the Funniest Cartoon on Television Today

    #-South is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I don't get how anyone can hate it. The ironically funny stupid humor is brilliant. (Did that sentence make sense?) As funny as Beavis and Butthead, Family Guy, Clerks, The Critic, and even classic Simpsons. Of course, MTV will probably cancel it as they do with every other quality show they have. Make room for another Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

    Awesome and Entertaining

    This show is some of the funniest stuff I've watched in a while. I only watched it because it was on in the time betweenn the Simpsons and Jackass when there is nothing on, I watched this and was amazed at how smart and clever yet silly and fun for losers to watch. Brian Posehn (Mr. Show) is the voice of Del, the softspoken eyeless but nose dominant dorm mate of Sanford (Brian Dunkleman; American Idol), a naive, ambitious Special Ed student. They both attend Barter College, a joke compared to other schools, with a lazy, underpaid faculty. Great one-liners and scenarios carry this show's humor ("Save the un-ee-corn"). If MTV doesn't bring this show back I will never watch thier crappy channel again even though I never watch it except for this and Jackass.
