Wonder Showzen
 
I know I made a thread about this earlier once, but barly anyone replied, which is sad, as MTV2's pre-school parody series is FAR superior to crap like Robot Chicken, and living proof that Adult Swim is'nt the end-all, be-all to see shows similar to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab, Milk Chan etc, etc...

Taking some of it's concepts from a long cancelled show called "TV Funhouse", it's basically Seseme Street...with no consideration for any forms of religion, human tolerance (seriously, Clarences' segments show how human tolerance holds up) or for national conduct or credentials, the animated segments are pricless (D.O.G O.B.G.Y.N, and "Plastic Surgeons Without Boarders") the use of children as well makes it disturbingly hilarious

"I eat beef so I can fight off my father" :lol:

"Number Two is now Number Zero...she's NOTHING now Children"

I hope there are some people here who have watched it, and do appreciate it

The Stryker 05-03-2005 01:52 PM

Now HERES a show me and you agree on man!

"Can you perform a C-section?" Man i was freaked out yet oddly in love with the show. Too bad it'll probably be cancelled soon and become a Cult Hit.

ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH, dissolving fox...

Can you beleive even the Animal Dance is tame compared to that?

"Animal Dance, Animal Dance"

The Stryker 05-03-2005 02:02 PM

My GF was soooo bugged by that Fox..She Almost threw up cuz she's one of those Animal types and anything with animals getting "It" she's done

Showzen has alot of slow-motion snake eating rat footage and it gets me everytime, Makes me laugh and squirm at the same time

remain in light 05-04-2005 09:38 PM

I've only seen it once so far, but I think it's pretty darn funny. I liked the muppet that did the personal space bit and the bratty girl talking about freedom at the Statue of Liberty.
Makes me wish that Sifl & Olly was still on. Good puppet humor is hard to find (not really a fan of Crank Yankers, although I liked TV Funhouse). I heard that Billy West is supposed to be doing a new show involving naughty puppets, so hopefully that will good.

The Stryker 05-04-2005 10:48 PM

the whole Naughty puppets things began when Crank Yankers hit and only got more speed as Avenue Q was getting rave reviews

But only once in a blue moon do we get a good Bad Puppets show and Wonder Showzen is leaps and bounds Funnier than Crank Yankers. the only problem that Showzen has is its Channel. MTV2? Come on.

ZariusTwo 06-02-2005 07:40 PM

Wonder Showzen has been officially renewed for a second season on MTV, a box set of Season One is also scheduled, the extras? Probably a much clearer version of the leaked pilot episode, and some commentarys

Brodie 06-02-2005 07:45 PM

I wonder how random the commentary will be.

Voltron 06-02-2005 07:48 PM

I watch it every Saturday. I damn near laughed my ass off when that kid came on and said "You're never too young to have a Vietnam flashback."

The Stryker 06-02-2005 10:30 PM

the thing about the show is that it makes you laugh even though some Horrible things are happening...Its GENIUS!

VaughnMichael 03-20-2006 08:06 PM

I absolutly love this damn show! it's right up there in wierdness with the 70's muppet show, & sifl and olly.
it's nice to see some one doing a puppet show who has the balls to do a good one....
allot of cry baby muppet fans hate this show....to be honest I think Jim Henson would have thought it to be really funny because in his early days he did the same exact things in comercials like puppets killing each other, shoting each other setting each other on fire, and even doing adult things on SNL in the early years.
I'm quite glad this show is working out it's a shame that sifl and olly never got the same kind of attention.
but yea I don't much care for crank yankers either....this show is way better.

HAHAHAHAHA That was so ****ing funny. The guy just aged and decomposed.

Peanut 04-04-2006 04:44 PM

I had no patience for that patience episode. I thought it was kind of a cop out. Sure it's funny for a bit, but then it just became annoying and stupid.

Wow, ain't that deduction of the month.

That was the point of the episode

Peanut 04-04-2006 07:16 PM

Yeah, thanks fella. I got that point. What I'm saying is it was stupid. It wasn't funny. I know that's the whole idea behind that episode. I'm just saying it was a waste of time and they shouldn't get praised for coming up with crap like that. No matter if it was the "point" of the episode or not. I'm not going to go out and write a book where everything is backwards and then tell people it's clever because that's "the point" of the book. Everything else to do with the show is golden though.

Because you fell for the episode's trap, they should'nt get praised. Uh-Huh.:|

As long as you love the series, I guess minor nitpicks are avoidable:)

Peanut 04-04-2006 07:38 PM

I could understand if it was actually clever, but it just seems like they decided "Let's not write anymore and just piss everyone off." After the initial viewing the episode is pretty much un-watchable, which is sad, because the rest of the episodes stand up to some pretty heavy repeat viewing. I can't be the only one who thinks "Beat Kids" is one of the most entertaining bits on TV.

And of course, on Sesame street devoting a certain character to deformities. You know what I mean... the Two headed monster?

I saw a few episodes of this one, and I LOVED it, man! I Loved it. Ironically, I saw it only last year, and only because for some strange reason MA got free broadcast MTV2 on broadcast channle 24, before they threw the network into infomercial hell.


hell, I sat throught that mind destroying fat guy Andy Milakaka or whatever his name is just to watch.

I need to get the DVD... too bad I'm broke ass poor at the moment.

yes exactly stuff like that! but I'm mostly talking about jim's older stuff like thos really messed up commercials he did for wilkins coffee and the meat comercials and the la choy dragon comercial you can find them all on www.youtube.com and it also reminds me of his saterday night live stuff as well....jim henson was not afraid to do adult based show also...I mean buy the first seen of the muppet show or watch the muppet movie and you will see tuns of sexual jokes and the like. I hate when Jim's work was dissmissed as just for kids!

Great battle between the present and future Chauncie, the skydiving portion of the fight was classic

Spitfire 04-11-2006 04:49 PM

From what I have seen some of it is funny, but like those Adult Swim shows, it's far and few apart. They got rid of all the AS shows I liked, such as Brak Show, Sea Lab*Which stopped being funny after season 1 in my opinion*, and Space Ghost.

ZariusTwo 04-11-2006 05:06 PM

Wonder Showzen is'nt even part of Adult Swim, stick to the topic and stop pissing about what you've "lost"

That's funny you mention that being as how your the first person so mention Adult Swim

I was simply playing off that because I agree with you there. AS shows have declined in quality over the years.

The Stryker 04-11-2006 09:25 PM

Winobot...he's winobiotic.

CAN I HAVE A FREE NANNER?!

damn I love this show

ZariusTwo 11-12-2006 10:50 PM

That being said, AS have teased at picking up Wonder Showzen in their bumpers (the "Air _______ please" segments), so maybe this will be fine. WS needs to be on that block

ZariusTwo 11-25-2006 05:30 PM

The cancelation is confirmed.

oh well atleast the show got treated better than sifl and olly man that show was so ahead of its time it would have done so great on adult swim. But of course so would this show.:cry:

It was inevitable. The show is an aquired taste to the extreme. Anyone and everyone I ever showed Wonder Showzen to has not only called it the dumbest thing they've ever seen, but called me sick for liking it. I'm surprised it even got a second season actually.

So were the producers, they admitted they tried to get it cancelled themselves, which explained the reasons "Paitence" existed, not to mention the last two episodes of the series were gimmicked

Drtooth 11-29-2006 02:22 PM

And yet that fat underdeveloped Andy Milkaka Kakahead is popular...

Peanut 11-29-2006 02:25 PM

The Andy Milonakis Show actually has some really great and clever skits. There's a ton of stupid crap, but a lot of it is pretty amusing. I'd pick it over Wonder Showzen anyday.
