So Messy and Stupid, its Perfect?
This show is by far the most random show ever I have ever seen, with it's ultimate weirdness and bizarre randomness you can't take the show seriously, but it is surprisingly good to watch.
The stories and morals don't make any sense, but that's what the show is. It's basically a random mess, and that's what the show is suppose to be. Unlike shows like "Pickle & Peanut", this is intentionally random and ridiculous.
This is the Marmite of cartoons, you either love it or hate it, and I love it. You can't help, but want an Uncle or Grandpa like Uncle Grandpa.
Unlike Pickle & Peanut and Breadwinners, the stock footage and photo shop pictures are necessary.

Uncle Grandpa : Terribly tormented show which should be cut some slack.
(Note: First actual review on site) Uncle Grandpa. A name that is so familiar to many Cartoon Network viewers. A show that utilizes surreal humour for laughs. Why does it get so much hate? People have been saying that the show is bad and it isn't such a gem. But, I would like to give insight as to why people will like UG. First, comedy. This is where I feel that the show is average, because although some people might like it, the humour is really hit or miss for me. I think that the episodes' and thus the show's strongest points are its good messages. Each episode (after Season 1) always leaves a good taste in my mouth due to its viewpoint on society and its surprisingly good (in my opinion) social commentary. Speaking of Season 1, this is where the episodes were abysmal, and that the characters were nothing but jerks and stereotypes. Which leads to my fourth point, that people really should stop hating on it, all because they watched S1E1 'Belly Bros' which most UG fans I think would agree is not a very fleshed out episode. But I feel personally that UG has come a long way. So any future people who watch uncle grandpa on your own terms, watch at least Season 2 or 3. Season 1 episodes do not feel well thought out and are half baked. Thus, I give UG a 7/10 for being weird yet relatable and improving over the course of 4-ish years.
Its actually a very funny and creative show!
I love the surreal humor and wacky characters! My favorite parts are when Uncle grandpa does physically impossible stuff but no one says anything about it. He's like a demi god or an SCP and this show is highly amusing.
Best cartoon since Cow & Chicken
I was lucky to get Cartoon Network as a kid and I loved Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken and I Am Weasel. Uncle Grandpa is the next logical step in the evolution of silliness. I really love the whole concept of this show. It's the first show whose point is it's pointlessness. The gags are so incredibly bad that they're brilliant again. The characters have a great dynamic and the voice actors are really well-cast. The shows art is also very unique and artistic. While shows like "Adventure Time" try to tell a message and make people think, which annoys me quite a lot, Uncle Grandpa is all about fun and the celebration of stupidity. I hope this show continues for a long time and stay true to it's pointlessness.
An homage to surrealism and Golden Age of Animation tropes
I understand how so many people find Uncle Grandpa hard to watch or find it too trippy and hallucinogenic to stomach. But if you know the history of animation and enjoy surrealism, Uncle Grandpa is a BLAST!
Golden Age animator Tex Avery once said, "If you can do it in real life, it isn't animation." Uncle Grandpa embraces that philosophy and runs with it. Every animation gimmick you've ever seen appears at one time or another. Stuff out of the frame (including body parts) cease to exist, perspective gags galore, selective gravity, photo cut-outs, sight gags, visual puns, internet memes, breaking the 4th wall... Don't even try to keep a list, there are too many.
My only complaint about Uncle Grandpa is that sometimes it's a little too NORMAL. I can get normalcy any day without turning on the TV.
