This kind of looks like what would have happened if the creators of Rocky and Bullwinkle started listening to a lot of rap, took a hit of acid, and developed a very dark sense of humor. I am completely sold on the style of animation, its amazing. Its got some minor flash-like bits, but I can easily over look that. Its not as funny as it could be. Don't get me wrong, it is funny, which is why it got an 8 from me (it earned a 6 at least, just for the style). Some of the jokes hit their mark, and others either seemed to be of the stupid/random variety or just missed by a bit. The fact that it was littered with characters and never stayed on any one long enough hurt it a bit too. I did like the Popeye references as well, mainly the characters occasionally continuing their dialog as they exit or talk under one another. Since I heard this is getting picked up, I'm psyched. I hope they fix the bugs and keep what makes this so intriguing.

Adult Swim needs to make a new animated show that looks exactly like this.
nasdagoodshepherd16 June 2019
Before Freaknik, there was a pilot called "That Crook'd Sipp", features a rich white family and lots of African Americans living at the the dirty ghetto part of Mississippi. The character designs, the background designs are just absolutely amazing. Though, the story and writting needed some bit of improvements. This would be a great show for Adult Swim to greenlit, but it was scrapped into Freaknik: The Musical (which was the greatest animated TV movie ever) I really hope Adult Swim would make a new show that look just like That Crook'd Sipp and Freaknik: The Musical. I give this one and 8.2/10
