Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio

Look. I can see where bits of it are coming from. I can taste the Brad Neely in it. It just pales in comparison to China, Il. Part of me knows that I shouldn't be judging the show based on its predecessor, but even comparing this to other sketch shows (notably Robot Chicken), it just doesn't work right. Brad Neely's got real talent, you can feel that in how quickly he characterises and the novelty of his songs. I think this show isn't his jam. Part of the problem is perhaps that the sketches are so fleeting - there's no joke to draw back on - nothing self-referential. If I may say one thing, though - I took the advice of another review and pushed ahead with the show. The later episodes compared to the start are a vast improvement - I didn't feel like I was forcing myself to watch it, so to speak. Maybe it has some hope, if it's tailored to fit. I'm not sure. Perhaps a better solution would be to revive China, Il.

I could only think of one appropriate way to introduce this show and that is with an homage to the introductory monologue from The Big Lebowski:

-----

Now this story I'm about to unfold took place back in the mid 2010s-- just about the time of our conflict with Syria and Isis . I only mention it 'cause some- times there's a show--I won't say a masterpiece, 'cause what's a masterpiece?--but sometimes there's a show.

And I'm talking' about Harg Nallin' here-- sometimes there's a show that, wal, he's the show for its time'n place, it fits right in there--and that's the Harg Nallin', on |Adult Swim|.

Okay so like the introduction here says, this is a show that if aired at any other point in time it would probably have been out of place. This show is really a stroke of absolute genius and if you were a fan of the show Monkey Dust http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386224/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 and the dark, sardonic, ongoing sketch based humor format Harg Nallin' is going to be a show you need to see. Really it's a genius project and Brad Neely has definitely shown the right to put his name at the beginning of this. It's kind of got an oldschool Brad Neely comics kind of feel with familiar characters, voices, and scenes with brilliant background animation that both draws your attention but is utterly irrelevant to the main point each moment is trying to make.

This isn't a project for the well adjusted, this isn't for the fan of Big Bang Theory, it's not a show for people that love prime-time TV, in that same sentence it probably won't do well with Robot Chicken fans or fans of other fringe series. The people this show is going to appeal to is a small group but it's a group that's been watching Neely's shows since China, IL and all the way back to his early work where he first introduced Babyface and Steve. It's going to be a marginalized group of freaks who grew up on PeeWee's Playhouse, dark humor late night cartoons back when CC did that kind of show, or people that have ventured into other countries' entertainment to find something with which they connected if even from a third person of a third person. I'd say that the show isn't intended to be funny on it's own in it's own content, but I'd be wrong; it's a difficult humor to explain, it's just something you get or you don't.

Every once in a while there's a show that's perfect for it's time, and Harg Nallin' is that show.

This show is incredible and original. Brad Neely is a genius. Many will simply write it off as a Robot Chicken / Rick & Morty mashup. Fans of either as well as Monty Pythonesque sketch comedy like the Whitest Kids You Know will enjoy it. The show treats race, gender, religion with a level of honestly I haven't seen since In Living Color. This show is what Adult Swim is all about.

Fans of Brad's earlier shorts will not be disappointed. Some of the current pop culture references are forced and tired. Kanye bear and Taylor horseman put a comedy central/SNL commercial cramp on the pure imagination we are all begging for.

Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio is last great animated show.

Read the other reviews on this page. Think about those reviewers.

People who don't understand comedy seem to virulently hate this show. I mean, the kind of mediocre corn-fed clones who are responsible for Will Ferrell's career. People who still hang out at the mall.

In a perfect world, people who don't think this show is funny would be fed to starving third-world children and we'd all live in peace forever.

Instead we have all our entertainment dictated by the lowest-common-denominator, low-brow, coke-ravaged, sex-driven, money-obsessed and all the other hyphenated filth that keep the human race from flourishing and evolving into its next stage of existence.

Comedy haters will outnumber us one day. That day is soon.

I give thanks to the Neely for delivering this gift in our time of need.

Light enjoyable comedy, ridiculous and just what youre looking for, quick funny sketches of an obscure nature. A wide range of references and relatable content
