brian-30039 This show shows that Just because it's gross or its ugly doesn't mean it's bad. I like gross out, but I like it when it's done right, and Flapjack shows how you can do it right, It differences itself from Ren and Stimpy by being more slow paced, Calm, and more Quirky if you're thinking of the Sea Urchins Episode. Honestly, watching an episode is like watching Spongebob, it's real satisfying but it gets dirty and gruesome that it increases the engagement. When it gets gross, it's actually funny. The animation is slow yet it has some structure and feels like a Pirate map, the voice acting is well done in this show, Flapjack feels like a kid, K'nuckles feels like an Irresponsible Adventurer, and Bubby feels just like a sassy yet mother like character. The Characters are also great, its People like the Urchins,Punsy McKale, and Peppermint Larry that make me laugh even harder than seeing Steven,Garnet,or Peridot. I honestly don't see why Mr Enter hates this show only for gross out, I also don't see why it caused him to become a Virgin, It's calm and interesting but gross, and when it does get gross like in the Kitten Scene,it's calm and Subtle about it. Saying that I'm not a fan of gross out just because of Asperger Syndrome doesn't mean that you have to say that Patrick McKale isn't Human or that J Q Qunitel should die, Aspergers isn't something to say only to get furious about a cartoon and cyberbully writers of the show, as said by Zach Bellissimo, If you don't like these shows then don't watch them. Either way, if you're a fan of adventure and like to have a good ol'chuckle with the writers of the show, then this is the show for you.
filmakerspake Flapjack is one of those rare cartoons that you just don't see anymore. It has this very surreal feel to it, almost like it is more for an older audience. It isn't afraid to show gruesome images or add a bit of adult humor. It has a lot of random humor as well. Saying this, I wouldn't recommend it for young children, because I feel adults would probably appreciate it more. It reminds me of the older, classic cartoons, where anything was possible and no one was afraid to push the envelope. And one random positive is that the characters is likable as well as quotable. One of these days it will be one of those classic cartoons. Awesome cartoon.
Edwards For a while there, I thought that a lot of creativity was running out in daytime cartoon shows. I mean Spongebob and Camp Lazlo are great. But I miss most of my random shows of the 90's. I miss Rocko, Doug, Dexter's Lab, and most of the others. It seems that mostly shows just try to cheaply copy the anime look and feel and call it a day. But then, every once in a while, little shows like Flapjack come along and make my day bright again.Flapjack , being one of the strangest and yet most interesting of shows that Cartoon Network has seen in a while, has captured my heart. Though this show has its disturbing little moments (like Ren and Stimpy), it never fails to provide fun, enjoyment, and a good laugh to my family and friends.The show has an interesting and fresh approach to design. The backgrounds look as though they were painted with watercolors. Everything has a dingy and used look; making every element of the backdrops its own unique work of art. The show is like candy for the eyes. And speaking of candy, expect that to be a recurring element. Candy has many uses in the world of Flapjack. It is used for currency, trade, building materials, and even people (one of the main characters has a wife made out of candy). So yes, this show has a different vibe, but one I have come to love.I also have fallen in love with the characters of the show. Be it the good-hearted and spirited Flapjack, the tall-tale spinning Captain Knuckles, the motherly and ever-advising Bubbie, or the eccentric Peppermint Larry; I love these characters. Every episode provides you new insight on the cast and usually more to love.The only bad thing that I can say about the show is that sometimes it leans toward a more disgusting side of humor. It at no point crosses the line of shows like Ren and Stimpy, but it does give me an Eww Gross! moment occasionally.That aside, Flapjack is one of the best new properties that I have seen in animation in a long while. I find something special in each and every episode, and cannot wait for new ones to come out. Keep an eye on this show, and maybe it will catch you by surprise as it did me.
oh_your_god Being that I'm 19 years old, and that I've acquired an outrageously dark sense of humor, I would never think that a show targeted towards kids would ever appeal to me. But, this show is an exception. This show is nightmare fuel, pure and simple. This 'nightmare fuel' aspect is, in no way, a negative view of the show. The backgrounds' dark and dreary art style seems to compliment the characters' lighthearted antics. Oftentimes, extreme reactions in the characters faces are grossly exaggerated in a vividly horrifying, and wildly entertaining, manner. The story lines, and even the setting, are twisted and sometimes hard to follow. Again, this is not detrimental to the show's entertainment value, but instead enhances it. It is cartoons like these that keep one's imagination alive and kicking, wondering 'what else could be thought of, what else could happen?'. This show is great, purely imaginative, and conceptually beautiful.
