I have never laughed harder at any cartoon I've ever watched in my life. The Amazing World of Gumball can really hit my funny bone, too, as it has several flashes of brilliance I don't often see in other cartoons. But for me, nothing holds a candle to Axe Cop. It's just so meteorically stupid. It only takes one minute till I'm laughing like an idiot at the sheer naivety, imagination, and format-bending splendor that goes on in every single episode. Each one is ridiculously action-packed, action conceived only by a young boy whose imagination speaks for just about every young boy's imagination, ever. Now, I generally don't like action-packed shows or movies, because often times it's taken SUPER- SERIOUSLY by directors--directors who are adults, mind you. Eventually, the insane action becomes absolutely mind-numbing, and the only thing that can fix that is action that is MORE insane... it's like heroin to some people, maybe Michael Bay. But Axe Cop walks over all serious adult action, doing it better than everyone else, no less as a cartoon. It IS taken seriously, but by a kid. And because it's conceived by a kid, it's not just absolutely off-the-wall bizarre action, it's GENUINE.Cheap philosophies aside, this show hits my funny bone, every time. The icing on the cake is its TV-MA rating: there's no bad language and no sex, just blood every now and then. That alone shows it was written largely by a kid, and what a lucky kid he is.I won't go into details, because describing the plot line of any episode is exactly like trying to retell the story your son brought to his show and tell. It's just a gem. If you don't laugh at Axe Cop, you haven't lived: you have simply existed.

If I watched this show with absolutely no idea of it's premise, I would have thought this show is utter rubbish; I can understand how some of these reviews can be so scathing.So if you haven't yet seen Axe Cop and are thinking of giving it a go, there's one thing you must know: The synopsis and story lines of the show were conceived by a 5 year old.Once you know this fact, the craziness and lack of explanation for story development makes sense, and makes it so much more enjoyable. Characters will randomly develop new powers, superheroes will travel to different planets in monster trucks and on the backs of dinosaurs, and people's heads and limbs will be cut off with no clear-cut reason as to why.But that is how the mind of a kid works; anything that they think is exciting, dangerous or cool will get a mention in the story. If they do need to justify a point to close a storyline, it is the work of magic, or secret powers, or it's from another planet. Don't expect stories to make sense, but it's not supposed to; it's the craziness of the situation that makes the show so great to watch.It's not for everyone, but if you're a kid at heart, give it a go! You'll think this is fantastic.Plus some great voice cameos.

I've been a fan of the Axe Cop comics for over a year now. I love them for their zany, bizarre, random, and extremely imaginative story lines and characters, as well as the phenomenal art. When I heard they were making a TV show out of it, I was torn. I was ecstatic that it was getting a TV show, but I was nervous about it being terrible. Then I saw the first episode, and absolutely loved it. They almost perfectly captured the essence of the comics. Sure, it's not quite as crazy as the comics, but I'm sure that was just so it would appeal to a wider audience. This is the type of show I can put on and just laugh nonstop for 11 minutes. It's hilarious! It looks, feels, and sounds just the way I would want an Axe Cop TV show to look, feel, and sound. All of the actors in it are great, and give an excellent performance as their characters. Nick Offerman is especially perfect, playing Axe Cop himself, and fully capturing his rather emotionless and psychotic demeanor. And again, this show is extremely weird, but in a delightfully imaginative way. It'll shock you into laughter with it's unnecessary violence and dark dialogue. For example, the episode Birthday Month has an evil Santa Claus who wants to go to Heaven "To kill God and become Jesus! Obviously!". I kid you not, he actually says that. This is just one of many hilariously dark things in this show.If you love shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show where weird and creative things happen, you'll definitely like this. It's darker than those shows, but has the same sense of humor and imagination. The only weak episode so far is Babysitting Unibaby, everything else is just pure gold, my favorites being... well, all of them except that episode!I'm not sure how long it'll last with it's weird time slot and the fact hardly anyone knows about it, but I'll watch it to the very end.

This is, without a doubt, the worst cartoon I've seen in my life. I suspect that the makers of this show have purposely inflated the IMDb rating for it, because I just don't see how anyone could rate it anything more than 1 star.It's terrible.They think that they're being clever by being random. But see, randomness in and of itself is not funny. Adult Swim shows can have a level of crazy randomness, but the episodes are usually about something. What Axe Cop tries to do is copy Adult Swim but take randomness to a point where that's all it is. There's nothing funny or clever about it.Axe Cop should have been called "Deus Ex Machina: The Show", because its randomness gives it virtually no form or restriction(yes, that's always a bad thing). For example, a character can suddenly have fire powers or move the entire earth without those powers ever being previously established and without any explanation. The Axe Cop is surrounded by enemies? Well now he has the power to cover the earth in fire that only kills all the bad guys! It's not funny or amusing because every second of every episode is just like that. There's a reason children usually don't write for TV or Film because their imaginations are random and have no substance. I guess the creators and the idiot executives at Fox thought that this time they'd "think outside the box" and hire a kid and his older brother to write a cartoon for them. This goes to show just how out-of-touch some of these executive goons are.Don't bother watching this show. Go outside or read a book; don't lower your already low standards and let this crappy show melt your brain.
