Thread 150933411

Since anons keep bringing up Haunted Hotel, I wanted to talk about Grimsburg. Kinda discovered the show by accident. Ended up binging the 2 seasons. It's pretty alright. Shockingly had some good animation at times. Biggest flaw is probably how on the nose it is with it's comedy & references. Also needed more Stan & Mr. Flesh. Anyone else seen it?

Must I find lust provoking images to get attention for this show?

I saw season 1. First off, its not very funny or conventionally entertaining. Its got its own kind of compelling, though. It evokes a kind of weird pity for its characters, like watching mentally disabled people being made sport of on a sleazy daytime tv talk show between an appearance by a cold reading fake psychic and a midget lesbian love triangle confrontation.

I'd watch season 2.

So like Always Sunny but more out there?

>>150934321
Always Sunny meets South Park

>>150934345
Mmmm kinda. Maybe like early seasons South Park before it became completely social commentary.

>>150934365
Maybe some Futurama DNA in there.

>>150934395
Only because it's a work cast of quirky losers.

>>150934288
You have my attention.

>>150934459
She plays with corpses for fun in the morgue.

The murder mystery angle definitely gives Grimsburg more of an identity compared to most attempts at new Fox cartoons. Comedy doesn't always land, but there are more hits than misses.

>>150934716
Yeah the hook of constant mysteries, killers, & anomalies helps as a good hook compared to most series. Let's them do a variety of genres per episode rather than throwing the whole kitchen sink every episode.

>>150933411 (OP)
its ok but its definitely not attracting the attention of the meme crowd

>>150935037
All it'll take is a small push via some niche internet artist drawing a girl or two to at least get the ball rolling.

>>150934288
I saw the first season, but she didn't get much to do. Does that change with season 2?

>>150933411 (OP)
The boy with the ghost could be DC characters.

>>150934265
I don't think you're gonna find any.

Anyway the first season took a while to find its footing, but the second was pretty ok.

>>150936476
DC as in Superman?

>>150934716
Their long legs are weird

>>150937128
You grow used to it.

How does a show this graphic maintain a TV-14 rating?

>>150937979
TV-14 in 2025 is very different from TV-14 in 2005.

>>150935217
Yeah she gets more screentime.

>>150936476
Mr. Flesh isn't a ghost.... I think. First he's an imaginary friend of Stan's mind produced from neglect & lack of friends. But then other people are able to see him under different circumstances. So he is a being of his own but even he implies he's a product of Stan's mind. So maybe Stan himself is a powerful psychic who can create entities but doesn't know it.

>War and Peace: Abridged
Lol I might have to watch this now

>>150938405
How many of these would you say were "funny"?

>>150939332
Not him but none. It's mean spirited. Just like Quagmire raping Marge then killing the whole family. That's part of why people don't like modern Family Guy compared to the original first couple of seasons that were more structured like sitcoms.

post the bear mom

Its one of those shows where I forget it exists until its on, but I always laugh.

>>150937979
No nudity.

>>150940136
Like this?

>>150940232
Solid episode. Liked the premise

>>150939332
Peter getting his comeuppance by Brian shaving his fur/getting naked was a mildly funny payoff.

It's also the least graphic, the joke is just "Dang, hairless animals look weird as fuck, huh".

I can't get this joke out of my head.

Grimsburg is just another shitty generic adult animated millennial sitcom with a shitty generic adult animated millennial artstyle. That artstyle is cancer and worse than beanmouth and any show with it is guranteed to be ass. Haunted Hotel was even more shit since it was made by unfunny Reddit and Morty crew.

The background and prop design is weirdly beautiful for a modern animated sitcom

>>150941168
Yeah it's weirdly got some effort behind it.

>>150940232
whoa mama

>Biggest flaw is probably how on the nose it is with it's comedy & references
a lot of modern adult animated shows feels insistent on making references for every line. watching the great north its incredibly obnoxious with how annoyingly media obsessed the characters are before being characters
grimsburg is actually pretty bearable with how its mostly limited to flute and the skeleton

>>150941168
bento's background art direction is pretty solid
its a lot easier to find artists who can just do that stuff as opposed to animate

>>150943095
Yeah it's fine for the plots to reference horror media if they're not like outright saying "hey remember that movie" to the audience. It works for Flute because he's this lazy slob who spends too much time streaming movies. Kinda like how cutaway gags in early Family Guy work because the idea of Peter is he gets his idea of how the world works from TV. On paper at least.

>>150933411 (OP)
I love this show. Season 2 was great. I like Pentos and Summers, also the side plot about Mr. Flesh and Stan is really weird and fascinating. I dig it. Looking forward to Season 3.

>>150945633
Kinda wish they didn't go with the gay Pentos angle. It's so easy to have the quirky gay character in these adult animated shows. Mr. Flesh was already flamboyant enough.

>>150945633
>Season 3
hellz yeah

>>150939332
WHERE'S MY MONEY is still a classic

>>150940205
This isn't even a joke btw. Nowadays western adult animation can depict the most graphic, bloody violence conceivable, but even the SLIGHTEST hint of nipple is off the table entirely. Weird-ass priorities...

>>150948257
Even adult targeted anime & toku can show nipples.
