Movie Reviews of Squidbillies, Vol. 1
Movie Review: Overtly Racial Diamond in the Rough.
Summary: 5 Stars
Expand your physical, social, and metaphysical, boundary's then expand your mind with party liquor good times! WHOO! Travel to the deep south with the adventures of a uniquely dysfunctional family of squids known as the Cuyler clan.
This family lacks any modern day form of inhibitions. Running around scantily clad and often times only wearing a hat. Through good times and bad the family is continually brought closer together, so that they may once again beat the ever living crap out of one another.
This 2 disk DVD collection is a real keeper. You wont be disappointed in the mind numbing display of violent, corruption, and extreme overt racism. Makes a great stocking stuffer and if it don't fit, what were you thinking its a box of DVD's they go in the DVD player not a stocking.
I have watched this DVD collection twice over and continually on adult-swim as often as I can. Season 3 will start in 2008. I highly recommend this DVD box set be added to your collection. If not yours then perhaps the collection of a roommate you owe rent money to as a distraction to the fact that your a lazy bum that spent the last of your money on a DVD box set and are to busy watching one of the best shows ever made to go get a job. I would like to think we have all been there.
Dictated but not read.

Movie Review: "Go on son, bust a nut in Granny's mouth..."
Summary: 5 Stars
Not what you think! Sure, it's bad enough they were talking about cracking walnuts by smacking granny upside the head, but when I first heard that line I was all "OH HELL NO!"
It's probably going to take a little effort to get past your first impression of this show to get to where you appreciatate it correctly. Let's be clear: this show is funnier'n hell, but most folks are gonna flip the channel after a look at the animation style or hearing one of Early's hyper mysognistical or racist lines and not take it as sarcastical genius-type humor. If you find, after giving Squidbillies a chance that it is still not to your taste than you can just shove it right up your YOGHURT LOVIN" CHALK-HOLE!!! WHOOOO!!!
I'm thankful that The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy and South Park broke ground so that such a fun and raunchy show could get on the air and make it past a couple episodes. Here in Oregon we may not have as many rednecks as Georgia, but honest ta gawd, I was driving the other day and saw some damn fool with 'Truck Nuts' hangin' off his pickup trailer hitch! Mojo Nixon needs to do a remake of his "Elvis is Everywhere" song called "Early is Everywhere".
Buy this Dvd. You will laugh your @ss off.
Movie Review: Too Funny, But So Close To Accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm from the north GA mountains, and this is quite an accurate depiction of life (or lack thereof) in Hillbillyland. There are lots of quick-tempered people there, and some still drive around in jacked-up 4WD trucks sporting rebel flags, religious stickers, and gun racks, although at about $3 a gallon, it's not cost-effective anymore. Although the show might go overboard a bit, life in "them-thar hills" isn't much to brag about. Appalachia is quite an economically depressed part of the good-ol' USofA, and there ARE old wood-frame houses with rebel flags used for curtains, and single-wide trailers with lots of trash, junk, and old rusted cars in what used to be the front yard. I kid you not !
I enjoyed every minute, and if you're one from the "hills", I know you will as well. I've got family and friends in Ellijay, Mineral Bluff, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, and Cumming. And, just for laughs, there are a few members of my family who actually DO talk very similarly to what you'll hear on this show. ENJOY !
Movie Review: Caustic, Offensive, Authentic...and Hysterical
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to be convinced that it was worth my time to check out SQUIDBILLIES--and I'm glad I did!
I never "got" AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE but a lot of my friends love it. I enjoy ROBOT CHICKEN and HARVEY BIRDMAN-ATTORNEY AT LAW but I have to say that SQUIDBILLIES gives me the biggest belly laughs from the Cartoon Channel's late night Adult Swim fare.
Having grown up on the edge of Appalachia (and experiencing more than my share of rednecks and hilljacks), I also love the authentic terms and phrases that lace the Squidbilly dialogue. A lot of my laughs can be attributed to the recognition of just that! "All up in my business," "the TV looky-box," etc.
But there's a sharp, satirical mind behind these shows that lampoons more than just redneck culture. From what I've seen so far, everyone and everything is far game for the SQUIDBILLIES, from corporate exploitation to government incompetence to even NBC's Dateline "To Catch a Predator" series.
Funny, funny stuff.
Movie Review: Absolute inbred-interspecies good times!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received a call late one night from my mother while she was out of town. It was about 2 in the morning, and she was laughing so hard she could barely speak. She had found an episode of the Squidbillies on television while being unable to sleep. Due to the time of night and my mother's quirky sense of humor, I accused of her of making the whole thing up! I could not believe that what she was describing, was actually being aired on adult swim. I believed even adult swim had a fine line. Apparently not! lol! A few weeks later, I discovered that my mother had been telling the truth. There was a cartoon called Squidbillies. I went onto youtube and viewed a few clips then purchased this dvd. The rest if history! If you are looking for a very unique, odd but unbelievably funny cartoon- then this is the one for you. This was right up my alley. It truly is a guilty pleasure. You just can not stop watching and the theme song is addictive. LOVE IT! My favorite character is granny. Enjoy!
