I like Adult Swim. They brought Family Guy back to life. They gave me Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and brought me to shows like Cowboy Bebop and FLCL. They've made several great contributions to late night television, and thanks to that, I can overlook Baby Blues and Witchhunter Robin. I give just about everything they put on the air a shot.
So I started watching 12 ounce Mouse, and I am almost positive the show's crew is drunk throughout the entire course of production. I think its a rule. Drinking is a large part of the show. The dialouge sounds like something that would come from drunks. The show is so crudely made that it is entirely possible for a team of drunks to make it. I'm thinking the entire show is the result of a bet, that the creators got wasted one night and realized "hey, we could really do this. Make a show that, as a rule, everyone involved has got to be completely ripped." "bet you can't." "I'll take that bet!" {vomits}
Adult Swim has several shows whose appeal lay in their bizarreness, but 12 oz. Mouse is just...I dunno. It's fun like watching drunks is fun. I'm not sure I actually like it, but I do enjoy watching it. I realize that doesn't sound rational but if anyone asked me what I like about the show, I could't begin to tell them. Its different, certainly, but it makes me want to go to work drunk and get in a gunfight on the way there.
Has anyone else even seen it? Get info at www.adultswim.com You can play "Stagger", a neat game where you try to guide the drunk main character home through the streets of the city. |
