The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

I avoided watching this show like the plague for a long time, but my son enjoys it, so I've begun watching it lately.

The interesting thing is that the show works on (at least) three levels:

First: it is abjectly moronic.
Second: it has a pretty funny layer of pure absurdity
Third: There is a level of real freaky creepiness that can be very cool.

They did an episode called "Prank Call of Cthuhlu" that had one of the most disturbingly surreal images I've ever seen, for instance.

In another episode, Billy is turned into chocolate and cannot stop compulsively eating his own extremities.

I think this show could almost run in "Adult Swim".

Anyone else enjoy this freakshow?

 

My 5 year old watches that show... I can't stand "Billys" voice. And I hate the kid who finishes his sentences with "yo", mostly because my kid has started doing that. And it annoys the hell out of me, yo.

Some of it's kinda funny, but for the most part it's just moronic. Better than Sponge Bob, I guess, but still stupid.

 

Never heard of it. What channel?

 

Cartoon Network.

Hey Mike, long time no see, yo!
