*DVD Review* Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures
Posted: 5 February, 2010 in TVTags: animation, bad, Comedy, Mel Brooks, Science Fiction, Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures, spoof
It only takes the average viewer a few minutes to decide how truly awful Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures is. Actually, “awful” doesn’t even cut it when describing this. Frankly, one word isn’t enough to relay how mind-numbingly atrocious this is. The word “dreadful” comes close, as does the adjective “appalling” — but it’s still hard to pinpoint a single, precise word to warn each and every one of you out there that you should not watch Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures under any circumstances. Yes, even if you are offered the sexual experience of a lifetime, a billion dollars (tax free), your own personal island, or your own Personal Jesus, you should avoid Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures like the dastardly animated plague it really is.
*Blu-ray Review* Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side

I’m not the biggest fan of animation in the world. There are a few exceptions, though. One of them is Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy. Granted, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of it, either — I won’t go out of my way to view it, but I’ll stand at attention if it’s on nonetheless. At its worst, Family Guy is crude and infantile. But, seeing as how the entire comedy genre seems to be perpetually trapped in an ice age of sophomoric humor, the crudeness and infantiletiness (I just made that word up) of Family Guy takes “lowbrow” humor to a new level — outshining that of South Park or The Simpsons — and it’s definitely one of the best shows out there. The writers of the series are “hip” enough to throw in some of the most obscure (yet witty) film and television references they can muster — which keeps most pop culture junkies happy.
