I tend to avoid programming... uh... of that type of humor. The completely over the top no holds bared type of offensive humor. But in this case, it didn't completely turn me off.I think the main reason I liked this over many many many other of attempts at this type of humor is that the characters are drawn very well and have a "friendly" look and attitude. I have seen others attempt to come up with show ideas based on really offensive humor. What happens is that the quality of the artwork, and the content of the story is so "negative" I just want to turn it off. There isn't anything to soften the blow so to speak. In this case it is the style of the characters that takes the edge off.
As for the "over the top" or offensive humor... anyone watch Brickleberry? Holy cow! Now THAT is over the top offensive humor. They hold nothing back on that show. If that show gets enough ratings to keep it on the air there must be room for "Buddies" somewhere.
Thanks for this thoughtful response. This really made my day. It helped clarify my perspective on the show. I agree completely. I really like raunchy humor. That's just me. But if you don't care or invest in the characters, then what's the point. Regardless of genre or style.
And yeah, D. Tosh probably helps a little bit, lol. I actually have seen him in concert twice, and to my surprise he was very funny, quick, and witty. Tosh.0 doesn't justify his talent.
