Review of 12 oz. Mouse

12 oz. Mouse (2005–2020)
10/10
Deliberately Indecisive
25 August 2006
Shows like this don't come along often enough. Its so offbeat and irrelevant that you will either hate it or love it. Chronicling the adventures of Fitz the drunken, belligerent, shiftless mouse and his trusty friend Skillet (who appears to be a chinchilla), 12 Oz Mouse manages to make the most nonsensical situations into comedic gold. You never know what to expect from Fitz. The episodes have no clear cut storyline or destination. At any given time he can go from an in depth discussion about corndog farming into a 4 minute shootout with an unknown enemy. This could be followed up by a 2 minute drum solo by Skillet if need be. The only tie between any two episodes is the constant search for alcohol and the conspiracy theory surrounding Fitz and the possible kidnapping of his family. If you're looking for a show with beginning, middle and end, this ain't it. But if you're looking for punchline-less laughs, 12 Oz is where you'll find em. This is the most addictive show to hit Adult Swim since Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The crude animation style and slow pace make it a perfect compliment to the sharp design and quick delivery of ATHF. Hopefully OzMo will remain a staple of the Adult Swim lineup.
