I'm surprised to see this isn't a little more popular and that this is the first review. One big reason is probably because of how short the epies are. At one whole minute an ep, maybe it seems like something not to be bothered with or you don't really catch it on TV it goes by so fast (although you'll find it on youtube now).
But in a way that's what's cool about it, there really isn't many shows with that kind of a structure on TV or even really on the web. It's almost like hardcore punk for adult animation, fast and short and loud and it does have that raw, physical, punk rock aspect to it, there's lots of violent humour and other bad ass type stuff (hammer roulette is one of my favourites). A lot of viscous and grotesque body humour too, or whatever, gross-out stuff.
It's a current that runs back through the likes of Rowen Atkinson, through Spitting Image, through the alternative comedians of the 80s and 90s esp the Young Ones and so on, and it's sometimes just stupid and pointess (at the end of one short after his father hits him one last time with his newspaper for saying a string of swear words he starts to cry and even sheds tears, I mean what's the creators trying to tell us here because I'm not exactly sure if it's funny or not) but most of the time you can find something amusing to this show.
Some might even get intrigued by just the weird, ugly mofo face of Angry Kid and all the different expressions his face does, which are each different masks that need to be made for each expression. This odd creature is usually placed in a real word live action kind of environment, making a unique or at least not often seen contrast.
It's a good show. You'll probably find something amusing in this simple, juvenile adult animatated comedy and it's kinda unique presentation.
