Just perfect...
disgusting, overrated, pointless
A lot of fun.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View MoreStone Quackers has to be one of the WORST adult cartoons I have ever SEEN!!!! Along side Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon and Superjail!! Why must Ben Jones create another TV show?? Even outside of Cartoon Network, he still sucks. No surprise, since he's also the creator of the Problem Solverz. Think of Stone Quackers as a hybrid of the Problem Solverz and Breadwinners. THIS is the show you'd get. This show is so boring, the characters are hideous, the animation is horrible, and the plots are just so overused. Fox wanted to make Duckman, they made American Dad!; they wanted to make South Park, they made Family Guy; they wanted to make the Boondocks, they made the Cleveland Show; they wanted to make Land Before Time, they made Walking With Dinosaurs (2013); and when they wanted to make Breadwinners, they ended up making Stone Quackers. Screw this show.
View MoreWhat makes this so appealing to the younger audience? The confidence in the characters? The animation? The color palette? Or is just hot damn entertaining to watch. This show, while it may not be the most respected show out there, still deserves the recognition people choose to avoid giving it. I first found out about this when I saw the short Goth-ball series on Youtube by ADHD. Sitting there, watching the craziness, I couldn't help but enjoy the animation and the way it splendidly mixed itself together with all of the other factors of the video. While there are certainly a bunch of narrow- minded viewers out there who expect a grand masterpiece out of this, the show holds itself together pretty well, from start to finish. I mean, this show isn't really supposed to teach anything, its just there for the fun of it. Each event not staggers, but flows into the next. Even when you are sitting there, questioning the reasoning behind what you are viewing, it all ties up humorously or freakishly in the end. What I love the most is the way the creators, (meaning everyone) isn't afraid to spit out whatever comes to mind out at the viewers. This isn't Breadwinners for fox's sake, in fact the characters seem to be inspired by rather than copied from them. In conclusion, this show never ceases to entertain me and make me grin like a fool. Also, the show doesn't endorse marijuana or any drugs, so shaddap.
View MoreIts awful. I should leave it at that, but that barely conveys the sheer boredom and embarrassment for those involved in this production that I felt while watching this charade of a show. I'll try to relate the sensation of losing 11 minutes of my life, but really the best thing to do is just watch the first episode yourself... I mean, they got John C. Reilley to voice Barry the police-duck, so it can't be that bad, right? Wrong, so, so wrong... The art is bad, of course that's my opinion as an artist, its possible you may find the sloppy backgrounds and bland, inconsistently rendered characters "charming," since they look like a child's drawings, but the real issue is they don't feel complete, like whoever was doing the storyboards got pranked into doing all the animation himself on a tight deadline. So visually its pretty lacking, which I could forgive if only the characters didn't seem like hollow masks, bereft of any trace of soul or personality. Being stupid and/or a douchebag is not in itself funny or entertaining, there needs to be some kind of reason or sense to it, some kind of motive or payoff, some extraordinary showmanship or spectacle at the very least... This is animation people you can do ANYTHING! (I could have shot a live action human version of the first episode shot for shot with a camera phone and a $50 budget in one afternoon if my brother were a policeman or EMT...) You can't just say, "these ducks are morons, ha ha ha" and expect people to care... There's really nothing much going on here, except maybe an indictment of the stoner youth culture. I'm astonished this has gotten such good reviews, its almost like the audience has somehow been convinced that this has all the elements of a "good" show, and must therefore be good, in spite of it being slow, boring and bland. 11 minutes felt like an hour.
View MoreI enjoy Ben Jones' work very much. I even consider the Problem Solverz to be possibly one of my favorite shows; I love it when crazy stuff like that somehow gets on television (which possibly explains why I mostly watch Adult Swim). While I love his more Paper Rad-y style, I enjoy this show's art as well. Many of the background characters still maintain the look, but the main characters are much easier on the eyes. The backgrounds are my favorite part, though, they have a really nice painted feel to them. While I haven't seen enough to say..the writing seems funny enough and I enjoy the characters as well. Great job boys, y'all did good!!1
