Code Monkeys
 Robot Chicken: Season Three $29.98 This show kind of grows on you after awhile. Yes it can be kind of stupid at times, but it's a good kind of stupid.  Code Monkeys: Season 1 $19.99 If, like me, you grew up in the 80's, obsessed with video games but always secretly wished there was a special button that would make Mario drink Luigi's urine or cause Pac-man to splatter everyone with his feces, then G4's Code Monkeys will be right up your alley. Obviously, a great deal of work was put into creating the style of the show. The entire look mimicks 80's video games, from the blocky, pixelated characters to the sound effects to the health bar at the top of the screen. Even the theme song, performed by geek musician Jonathan Coulton, was a nice touch. Now the downside (and oh lord, is there ever one!) Any witty humor or clever gags are barely visible through the thick, greasy film of brainless, playground gross-out humor. It's as if the show was written by a group of third-graders who crack each other up by saying the word "penis" over and over again. The storylines are inane and the characters are all tired stereotypes with nothing original to say or excrete. If your video game nostalgia is strong enough to tolerate characters peeing their pants as a running gag, then I recommend Code Monkeys. Otherwise, you might try The Super Mario Brothers Super Show. It's not good either, but at least it won't make you nauseous.  The Venture Bros.: Season Three $29.98 Absolutely awesome show! Every episode is very funny, I would highly recommend if you are fan of show |
