I discovered this hilarious animated sketch comedy show called TripTank today. It's a 30-minute collection of black comedy shorts. The skits are racist, sexist, sexual, violent, profane, and about as over the top as one could possibly imagine but that's why I love it. While it generally sticks to traditional animation, the show sometimes dips it's toes into other styles such as stop-motion, Claymation, puppets, and CGI. Any show that isn't afraid to be experimental with it's animation styles like that completely earns my respect. It just has a funny tone to it as well and so many of the skits made me laugh like I haven't in the longest time. TripTank made my evening with it's clever, no holds barred, edgy, animated satire. Whoever had the balls to pitch such a highly inappropriate series to a television network is an absolute genius. Clever doesn't even begin to describe the many soon to be classic jokes I've seen in the 5 episodes I've watched so far. I have a feeling that just like Family Guy and The Simpsons, this one is going to give me a lot of funny lines to quote as well. Thanks to the show's obscurity, I could quote my favorite lines from TripTank and actually appear somewhat clever because not everybody in the room has heard those jokes before. But if I went into a room and said Apu's "Thank you come again," catchphrase or Peter Griffin's "Freaking sweet!", everybody in the room wouldn't laugh near as much because they've heard those lines spoken countless times in the past. Quoting TripTank has the same affect as quoting Family Guy or Simpsons but without that deja vu factor lol.
