Metalocalypse

[gunnar hendershow]

I've been waiting for this show since it was announced, hoping it could be an updated Spinal Tap. I think I got exactly that in the first episode. Complete with some really underground metal references, some more mainstream metal references, and great jokes that everyone can get. I'm looking forward to future episodes, and hope that there's enough of a fanbase for the show (which, with metal's return to prominence, I think there will be) to last.

Will this be showing in the UK? It sounds just magical.

The glory of the internet. Word is you can get all episodes on there as they air.

Is it bad that I don't know what channel this is on?

EDIT: Oh, Cartoon Network. Got it.

It was pretty damn beautiful. Brendon Small writes hysterical dialogue, always has. And oh my god, Murderface. Murderface is brilliant.

Oh, I think I've seen Adult Swim before. Thanks for the help, anyway.

"It's a freakin' grocery store, ya douchebayyyyyg!"

Solid debut, although there are some kinks to work out (the pacing felt a bit off, even by Adult Swim short standards.) Loved the "black coffee" scene, as well as the "And don't just buy booze!" line in the store.

I think its got potential, it did feel a bit short but I think it could become a really good show. I loved when he was getting the sausage and just busts his head through the glass then reaches in there to get it.

Nathan Explosion was one character I could immediately get interested in, because being a musician in a metal scene, you run into far too many frontmen just like him.

So did anyone else catch the Dead reference in the episode?

I'm more than pleased to have a Mayhem joke in the first episode. They should make one inner circle of black metal joke an episode, there are so many to do.

The Ozzy reference was easy to spot. Good first episode, and I'll make sure to watch this show when it airs.
