What did you think of The Prince if you've managed to check it out đ€
I didnât watch it
Watched it with my dad Pretty funny ngl
when you get the first comment even before the creator
nice
sadly never heard of it
its always ironic when most of these "adult cartoon"s are filled with the most childish and immature jokes you'll ever see
Funneeee
Also a bad case of adult cartoon characters looking as ugly as possible
Meanwhile kids shows like Jellystone have great humor
agreed it's boring.
Meanwhile children shows like the owl house, amphibia, avatar, steven universe, Craig of the creek, and so many more have way better humor and pretty nice art styles. I don't get why adult animation needs to have stupid immature unfunny jokes and ugly character designs đ
The âart style â looks like a horrifying mix between Family guy and Big mouth
Family mouth

THIS is so true
I hate dis
Makes a lot of sense lol.
I canât believe it has that art style. For real itâs becoming a problem at this point
I love your channel so cool seeing you over here
Hey!
Ayyyeeee Lonely Goomba
@TheLonelyGoomba
It's basically an immediate red flag. You see that art style and you know immediately the show is probably going to be absolute garbage.
It's not absolute but it almost always is.

âYou know Lois, this reminds me of the time when adult cartoons used to have actual quality and decent writing in them.â
Old Family Guy cutaway gags were great. Hell, I still sometimes go back and watch seasons 1-4 and find myself laughing at them. However, Family Guy ran their course 20 years ago, and now cutaway gags are the marks of lazy writing.
Modern Family Guy humor

"Ah, the good old days"
*camera shows another character who was previously off screen*
"Where you even listening"
*Insert random unfunny quote from main character that makes absolutely no sense*
I kinda feel sorry for the royal children as they're mocked in a show they're not even old enough to watch.
Top 5 CZcams commenters that are everywhere! This is the 30th time I said this đ
@its fine Girl we going to Islam?
Also high-key hoping someone responds to this comment with a comment to something that has to do with the original comment..
Just remove all the swear words and it will be e for everyone
I feel bad for the royal children in some ways. Sure, they live a very privileged lifestyle, but they are thrown into the gaze of the public and the media before they are old enough to realise what is going on or to consent to it. I know I would hate to be constantly under the scrutiny of the media. Shows like The Prince are making unlikeable characatures of children under 10 years old.
I feel like this show is made out of all the scrapped and unfunny Family Guy jokes over the years
Which says a lot considering Family Guy is ALREADY all the scrapped and unfunny jokes better shows didn't want.
@@Moonlight_Soyuz this show is made out of the scrapped scrapped jokes from modern family guy
and the thing is, they made a british version of family guy in one episode. Dear god am i so fucking retarded I can't even spell family right?
Says quite a lot, eh?
@@Addictedcoolmos Fanily guy
This show feels more like "haha Bri'sh people" than an actual plot driven comedy
Well just go to Twitter for that
I havenât seen this, but it feels like someoneâs just trying to cash in on British royal falling being in the news. It doesnât seem like they are meant to characters to be cared about but humor comes from us mocking them for being terrible. I could tell the servants were supposed to be likable just form the desings before it was said in this video (and that two people next to each other were gay because they were good looking lol, these shows are so predictable).
thereâs a reason Meghan is the only character that isnât made fun of, after all đ
can u make a vid on bojack horseman
It feels like Spitting Image, if it was written by someone who had 24 hours to come up with something and their only knowledge of the Royal Family came from a souvenir stand at a British-themed amusement park.
At least spitting image was funny from time to time
At least puppets require some effort
that's an insult to Spitting Image.
It's basically parody written by someone who knows nothing of the subject matter and can't be bothered to do the slightest bit of research. That comparison is unfair to Spitting Image. I don't think it's even possible for a British person to write satire this oblivious.
Jago hazard spotted in the wild
the characters seriously look just like how Family Guy portrays celebrities/important figures in a cutaway gag
The whole show is just a Family Guy cutaway gag
@@pogcentral9055 hopefully someone edits these into Family Guy as if they were legit cutaway gags.
@@FroyourHistory Iâll do it
@@pogcentral9055 i mean it really is. i think someone who worked on Family Guy writes the show, actually
i could be wrong but that's what i got from Cynical Reviews' video about it
Its longer than the Conway Twitty one and isn't very funny.
This show is really the prince of bad adult animations.
@its fine shut dafuq up, i'm watching a bad adult commedy đ€
Big mouth is the queen
The terrible prince of adult animation
I'd say it's the Dark Souls.
This animation is overused and ugly
As a British person, I believe that if you're going to make "adult animation" based on the royal family, have British people write and voice it. If anyone knows the jokes and humour it's us.
Most people just go: Tea lol

@@bt3743 On the contrary, the more it irritates you, the funnier it gets for us.
@@bt3743 I believe it's called "taking the piss" in the uk, like Karl P. Horse said it gets funnier and funnier the more it irritates you
@@bt3743 The point of us Americans saying it over and over again is to annoy y'all Brits and we get to laugh our ass off at you being triggered.

@@bt3743 wow, seems like you really twisted some american panties with that one, lol. Maybe you didn't say it enough times for them to recognize the humor?
Adult animation is the embodiment of "Here is a joke, now laugh or else."

@Salvagain Mbala Robot chicken, venture bros, metalacolypse, athf, etc
Making fun of literal real life children in an adult cartoon just seems very mean spirited and cruel. Like, sure, the adult royals are public figures, and open to parody and satire (apparently the Queen has a good sense of humour about it), but making fun of actual kids who haven't done anything to criticize, to the point of creating an entire cartoon series about it just seems like a bad move.
Can you imagine being 8 and finding out some creepy adults just stole your image and name and everything, made their cartoon "character" be literally you, then made their show a depiction of what you personally do - just in drawing form...but voice acted by someone doing your accent, etc.
Like WTF, what a mind trip. What the hell
That reinforces my opinion that "comedians" are glorified sociopaths.
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte Keep watching Family Guy clones and stand-up creeps parroting "muh victim status" over and over.
@@iloveutubesince3207
Pretty large difference between a stand up comedian and this show.
Yeah, the idea itself turns me off. I know royal family has palaces and shit ton of money so they don't care but it's just bad taste. Not to mention stereotypes of british people. It's fun on memes but not on television. Hbo would be cancelled in a minute if they made same show about blacks

It's pretty crazy how 95% of all adult animated shows look like flat, stilted garbage while the kids are over watching gorgeously-animated stuff like The Bad Batch. As an artist myself who just so happens to be an adult, I feel insulted by what they think is quality animation for adults.
No wonder some people think all animation is made for kids.
U really think kids watch the bad batch
@@aaronpaul04 star wars is incredibly popular, why wouldn't kids watch the bad batch
@@aaronpaul04 Yes, actually, but I understand what you mean. It's common for adults to enjoy animation aimed at children more than adults the way things are made nowadays.
@@aaronpaul04 Yes, indeed we do.
I wish that companies would realize that this art style doesn't look appealing anymore when 99% of adult animation is founded on it
@its fine bot
Yeah...its getting super old
This ain't no artstyle. This is what I call, ass-style.
It never looked appealing to begin with.
@@ahopefor You know what, hard agree
I just thought the idea of using the real life children, instead of fictional versions, was really bad taste, imagine being 8 years old and a bunch of people whoâve never met you make a cartoon about you being a brat. Shame on Sophie turner for voicing Princess Charlotte, when she threw a wobbler about the press taking pictures of her own child.
Peter: You think THATâS bad? Remember that Royal Family cutaway that took up 12 episodes?
The animation program that all these big companies are using is called:
âAbused Koreansâ
Wait really?
That wouldnât have to be Rough Draft Korea, right?
ah my fave it works fast and cheap.
@@ghost_fueled_scarecrow Yep. Animation is too expensive to do in the US. The storyboards and the designs are done here and the actual animation is done overseas because its cheaper. One cartoon takes 9 months to make so they do about 26 at once a year in advance.

I can't wait for the UK to make a 'parody' of the presidents.

Hopefully itâs funny.đ
Oh wait, the UK HAS done that. Spitting Image, I wonder how that went... Huh? People loved the British critique of the US President? Yeah, we'll pretend we didn't see that...
There already is a cartoon called "Our Cartoon President" but idk if it's made by brits
"Demi Lovato is nonbinary.
You just hit me with your hat."
I haven't seen this show, but these ain't even jokes, they're just... observations? And like... obvious observations? It's like I told someone "hey, you have blue eyes." and uhhh, expected them to laugh like yeah??? You have blue eyes??? Nice???
Maybe we're all missing that The Prince is a satire of shitty adult animation and intentionally makes non-jokes structured like jokes to make fun of how bad the comedy in some of them is
Of course this hypothesis takes place in an alternate universe where the writers of The Prince understand comedy and artisic intention
Why canât we get adult animation that just focuses on dark concepts instead of gratuitous violence, swearing, and sex
Besides bojack horseman that one is good
Yeah like imagine if Legend of Korra was under adult animation instead of kid's, what horrors they could've explored (and been allowed to actually develop Korra and Asami's relationship on screen)

@@pyraffin there was moral orel
@@pyraffin When a kid's show is darker than an adult show.
Helluva boss kinda has those things but it offers more as well
I donât know why so many of the cartoons that are supposedly labeled for only âadultsâ are some of the most childish and immature shows on television. i think tv shows like Bojack Horseman is the example that all adult shows should follow that your whole show doesnât have to be fart joke!
Yeah the animation is really overused and ugly too and is really unappealing
Most children cartoon are more mature than those adults cartoons.
@@mikaelste-marie1275 Ik lol. TAWOG has some really funny jokes and adult jokes too.
agreed or final space.
Ikr, the only good adult shows imo are Rick and morty, bojack horseman, simpsons, and the boondocks
âI enjoyed bojack horseman a tonâ
*smiles*
âBut that show never once managed to make me laughâ
*slowly frowns*
Tv shows dont make me laugh because my humor is broken and baby villagers make me laugh
The fact that I enjoyed it a lot and I was still able to laugh. It handled sadness and comedy very well
I canât argue with LS Mark here though, Bojack was way better at being a character drama than being a comedy. Thatâs why the first few episodes before the dramatic elements kicked in were less well received than what came later.
@@thatdanjamesguy.330 I agree that itâs more about the characters but it does have some really clever humor. I get saying itâs not the funniest show (bc itâs not really a comedy), but saying itâs never made you laugh just seems unrealistic
To be fair I also loved Bojack Horseman but the humor didn't click with me, it's one of the reasons Todd was one of my least favorite characters.
Its funny how kid cartoons went from being looked down upon to being the only really good cartoons
Always have been
(Kids cartoons be better than adults, that is)
The problem I have with "adult content" in general whether it's cartoons, movies or what have you, is that so much of it thinks that vulgarity for it's own sake is funny. It isn't. It's just stupid and cringe inducing. Vulgarity is fine if it serves the plot, as in Clerks 2 for example, but so often it's just there without any real reason. A good example of this is The Happytime Murders. Brian Henson WANTED to make a straight murder mystery but the studios wouldn't give him the money unless he changed it into an extremely vulgar "comedy", basically just because. Why? What purpose does that serve? All that does is insult the audience's intelligence.
So that's why the premise was interesting and there was this sorta gem inside of the mud feeling throughout the whole film but it still sucked
@@airplanes_aren.t_real OMG EXACLY I was like "this has so much wasted potential of mystery and lore" instead the comedy ruined it and almost made me turn it off!!
@@tornadodee148 to be fair it's not like Melissa McCarthy has been in any good movies lately so we should have probably seen it coming, hopefully the studio will do something more interesting in the future, I guess on the bright side the crew definitely had a blast during production as we see in the ending credits, kinda wished that more movies did that where they show the progress and how shit works during production
Excuse me? The artstyle DOES NOT look like Mr. Bean the Animated Series. While that show looks odd, there is some charm to the caricatures and the animation is smooth, stretchy and bouncy especially with Bean's facial expressions and movements. This looks more like a Family Guy fan thought he could be the next Seth MacFarlane and hired the cheapest animators he can find to make a Family Guy clone based on the royal family.
True.
Definitely! especially how the mouths move so rapidly and jarring in this show and (modern) family guy
Itâs funny you say that because the creator of this show was a producer/writer on Family Guy lol
I though for sure this was a Seth McFarlane show like the way the mouths move is exactly the same, the flat boring movement- everything. They even have Stewie!
The people who work on these shows don't seem to understand that the reason why adult animation is successful isn't just because of vulgar humor. The most important shows to come out of the genre (King of the Hill, Simpsons, Bojack, even Rick and Morty, and South Park) have a sense of heart in many of their stories, not to mention some clever writing as well.
agreed.
They take one look at family guy and see it as a dumb show with comedic bits and celebrity humor and think they can replicate it. But they watch the show, they don't understand it.
You forgot about a few shows but I get what you are saying
What are the odds we have the same pfp
@@joshlanfrank what is that picture of? đ
I feel a big problem with adult animation is the fact that theyre not treating them like cartoons. Have things be exaggerated, send characters to weird places, make them do crazy things, play with direction so every scene doesn't look like a generic two camera sitcom. These things are possible to do without it being overly fantastical. If you're doing a super grounded sitcom style with an emphasis on writing as the primary content then you may as well just have everything be sock puppets
Bojack Horseman is grounded, yet it's one of the best adult cartoons ever. Emotional realism is vital and groundedness in adult fiction can be done amazingly.
the creator of this show, Gary Janetti was a writer on family guy. that alone says everything we need to know about this entire show.
This is the kind of animation that says "I hate everything about animation"
"I hate my life and havent slept in 3 days."
Cynical Reviews said it best: "You can tell this show was made BY Americans FOR Americans."
Edit: You guys I'm an American too, why are you apologizing
begs the question why would you then have it be set in Britain about the royal family
@@thesodorengines ikr like I donât want this. I donât really know who asked and I donât care about the royal family.

I worked on this crap at Bento Box Atlanta. It was an absolutely horrific experience beginning to end. Management was abusive and the animation, background, and character teams were working mandatory 50+ hour weeks to keep up with the ridiculous deadlines. If you fell behind, you were yelled at and threatened with termination, which caused a good chunk of the team just to burn out. The âcreativeâ higher ups in LA thought they were making âartâ. They would constantly shit on âriggedâ animation too (even though itâs a fact that rigged animation can look as good if not better then hand drawn⊠just look at anything Mercury does) and told us that they specifically wanted a âhand drawnâ look to the show⊠translation, they want it to look like Family Guy where the characters are all standing around stiff as a board. Any and all attempts to add⊠actual animation⊠to the animation was crushed and the creators were always sending us condescending notes when they something we did didnât fit their âartistic visionâ.
That being said, ALL the artists who worked on this are TOP NOTCH and were completely underutilized. I painfully remember the very first animation meeting for the show and the animation director told us that the mandate from the âcreativeâ team (the higher ups, not the artists) in LA is that they wanted a âFamily Guyâ look to the animation. This was over Zoom but you could still âhearâ the collective groan from the animation team. I remember that moment very clearly. Should have quit then but I rode it out⊠I regret not quitting.
I also worked on Paradise PD, which was funny enough a much better experience! I can watch it without feeling horrible about my time on it. And I actually laugh from time to time. The management team was great and supportive and so were the creators! I never felt like I was killing myself on that show. They really appreciated the hard work the animation team put in and they let us know.
Say what you will about PPD but they know their audience. They have no delusions of grandeur that the show will somehow be this great work of art. The humor is stupid and lowbrow and itâs proud of it. The characters exist to tell stupid dick and butt jokes. Not my cup of tea humor wise but it obviously has a fan base seeing as it has 4 seasons with no signs of stopping.
So yeah, thatâs my experience on Prince. I can happily say that I was ecstatic when I heard the show was not being renewed by HBO. Good fucking riddance.
As an American, allow me to apologize to the British by saying, we Americans didn't like this show either.
"Modern shows are about pandering to as wide an audience as possible. Screw quality writing, unique animation or interesting characters - we gotta pander, pander, pander for as many dollars or quid as we can get!"
- HBO, probably
Indeed I too apologize on behalf of America.
I don't. We haven't wanted stuff like this for a long time.
dont apologize i doesn't matter dude
I refuse to apologize for something I have elected to disown
âThe characters are just standing around waiting for their next queueâ holy shit, this show was animated in The Sims 4
some fan-made Sims 4 shows are much better than this

i like when character are assholes BUT only if they have improvement over time, specifically if its like just the one character
Watch Kid Cosmic. The main protagonist can be annoying, and he doesnât change that, except a little. But it does it in an impressive way. Watch Alpha Jays video on it.
Edit: The show is on Netflix
I agree with Mark about adult animation practically being forced to be comedies. Apparently unless you're Gendy Tarkofski, who was allowed to bring back Samurai Jack as an adult show, as well as Primal, then you're stuck with raunchy animated comedy shows.
Tartakovsky has the experience and recognition to make what he wants. Execs know that his work will do well and it's low risk because of his reputation. But for someone less known making more artistic animation in the same vein, it's difficult.
Agreed, even if a lot of animated adult comedies can be really good.
@@alicev1500 animation is about experimentation. Ecpsecially good animation. All the shows over the years we could've gotten that were vetoed by executives, all for shows like the one Mark just talked about. Why can't we have a stoo motion show, a beautiful or expressive 2d show, or a beautiful expressive 3d show. These shows are equivalent to early 2000's universal comedies. Good concepts, poor execution, over floods the market with so much trash that the genre slowly dies. Or has to mix with another to survive. Execs are shooting themselves in the foot.
You could watch anime.
I feel the Harley Quinn show has the best balance between adult animated comedy and action
Imagine Prince George getting bullied at school all because of this show.
Iâm pretty sure heâs home schooled
He'd probably buy the school lmao
Heâs not home school actually he goes to a primary school mixing with the public, but Iâll say one thing, I mean never NEVER have I seen lockets like that in any British school. You can tell the have never done their research đđ it just hurts
I don't think many British people will watch this show

There's something very weird and almost creepy about making fun of real actual children who have done nothing wrong (unless you're one of those schizos who thinks being born into royalty is already a sin worthy of mockery).
Also, political shows like this and "our cartoon president" are the laziest form of satire you can make. Don't like someone? Make them into unlikeable cartoon character. It goes to show the creators are incapable of creating their own world and cast of characters.
Yeah, they literally did not create "characters." These aren't characters...they are real life human people, whose exact forms they copied and pasted.
All they've come up with themselves is the dialogue. What these people say, while in the settings the human beings are currently already living in and speaking in.
Just a problem: those people are assholes, not "Schizos". I don't see what Schizophrenia has to do with it.
@@PolentaTaragnarock you are also a schizo
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 Not exactly. A lot of the way characters act in this show are nothing like what the royals are like. For example, the Queen irl acts like a very stereotypical posh, stuffy Brit, which could make for great comedic material (if not a bit cliché). In The Prince, they just went "LMAO what if this lady that looks like everyone's grandma was super rude and said bad words?", as if that wasn't just as much of dead horse trope.
And I don't even need to say that the real Prince George isn't a Stewie Griffin clone either.

Best part about recent events is that it destroyed any hope of a season 2
lmao
And unsurprisingly the show was cancelled.
Every character design in this show looks like you walked up to a caricature artist at a local fair and asked them to draw the royal family
I remember Olan Rogers when talking about the latest season of Final Space, how he had to really push the network/executives to allow more drama and ânot funnyâ episodes (which explains the whiplash of tonal shifts in the middle of the latest season). I wish streaming/television adult animation would take notes from animated short films and realize that the medium of animation can tell amazing stories outside of comedy. Half of Love Death and Robots is horror and existential concepts.
Also I just donât understand who the prince isâŠfor? Royalists wonât like it, anti-royalists wonât care/ not like it cause itâs not British produced, and Americans know jack diddly about the royal family. Just, why?
yea.
It's like if they made a show about Joe Biden and released it where you live. You didn't want it or ask for it.
honestly american execs feel like the general population care way more about the royal family than they probably do đ
@@iwakeupandboomimarat we cared for a bit when the whole royal relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan (forgive me if I gotten that wrong) and then we all stopped caring after that. What was that, like two years ago?
@@channel45853 oh yeah thats true, but even then im british and i struggled to recognize people in this show đ
Mark: The story is just "What if the royal family was mean?"
People who lived in their colonies: "If?"
The jokes about Prince Phillip seem in poor taste now that he's dead. And he died before the premiere too, so it just seems awkward he's alive in the show.
Prince Philip was a bad person
The whole show is really just a bad Family Guy skit that was rejected so the creator chose to make an even worse tv series.
I miss the 90's to early 2000s era of adult cartoons where they tried to be unique and creative rather than generic family guy clones.
I mean.... The prince is literally a family guy clone. It's worked on by the same people
Even Striperella had heart.
Exactly it's why I liked clerks tas and undergrads so much I know people dunk on family guy for being ha ha ha unfunny pee pee poo poo jokes and while that's true for Morden family guy classic family guy had genuine fun and great character interactions im telling you Morden fg and shitty shows like the prince have made people think that fg was never good.
A thing Iâve noticed in animation is that kids animated shows often have far better Comedy than adult ones.
I think the reason for this is because while adult shows can just throw a few slurs about and call it a day. Kids shows donât have that option and actually have to think about what their going to spit at us.
We should've let Family Guy die when we had the chance
They should have made a joke about the queen being immortal. Maybe that would have at least been sort of funny
it feels like the show was a generic family gut clone given a royal family skin at the end of the writing process before any more specific jokes be added.
Eh, I feel that has been done to death toođ€·ââïž
@@tornadodee148 the show is in such a state already that an over done joke thats more specific to its theme is better than generic mean joke
@@randomprotag9329 good point.
welp...
Spitting Image parodies the Royal Family at times and it's actually really funny. It also doesn't go after the kids.
Spitting image also does 1 minute sketches with the royals.
They donât do 22 minutes of just the royal family and they donât target the children for the entire sketch like the promise of the show like the Prince.
_Man, this video hits different now_
I would say that the Castlevania Netflix show is one of the few adult animated shows that is not a comedy. It takes itself seriously but still has some humor in it.
When the trailer said someone from Family Guy created this show I instantly knew it was going to be terrible
This is why people need to understand that adult animation isn't just sex jokes, toilet humor, and vulgarity.
There's some good adult animations out there that don't rely on the three tropes to be appealing towards its audience.
agreed a show like south park is clever in it.
And Bee and puppycat.
I feel like the good adult comedies are aiming to relate the the actual struggles of adults but the bad ones just aim to relate to what children think adults are like when behind closed doors
Big mouth marked the end of an era: when mature animation became bland and diluted. When your only options for format were family guy or big mouth. Mature animation became just sex jokes and unnecessary gore. What ever happened to being bizarre, wild, radical, out of the ordinary or exceeding expectations? Whenever I hear the words "adult cartoon" now, I just picture big mouth in my head.
9:39 This, did NOT age well.
This show also feels extremely unethical because it spends its entire runtime making fun of a real life 8 year old. Like this is borderline child abuse and the wrong doers are adults with a million dollar budget picking on a literal child. IRL kids cry when someone cyberbullies them with a mean email, I can't image how a kid must feel if an entire animated show is making fun of them and their family.
It's one thing to make caricatures of adults in the royal family (although even then there's a big difference between thoughtful satire and jokes that are mean just for the sake it), but Prince George didn't even do anything wrong except for being born.
It's not his fault he was born into this family and I've seen way too many kids get their lives messed up because the public couldn't be decent humans beings and just treat famous kids with the kindness they inherently deserve to be treated with. Disney stars get messed up when people make fun of them as teenagers, how do you think Prince George is going to fare when he's 8 and people are already making fun of him for no reason?
I'm critical of the monarchy for many reasons (Prince Andrew, IE). But yeah, doing this to a kid is punching below the belt.
This is such a reach. Itâs not about an 8 year old. Itâs a parody
@@sungexpression9093 Do you think a kid could fully comprehend that to such an extent as to be completely unaffected? If so I pity your understanding of human emotion and development.
@@aelanarbrightfield6817 being offended by a comedy is such an unlikable trait
@@sungexpression9093 Well when the comedy is basically making fun of how terrible of a person you are, I feel like being offended is valid, especially if you're an 8 year old
If this is what Prince George becomes then I shall revolt and
Claim the crown for myself
Hell, I might do it, and Iâm American
A Byzantium on the throne of Britain well we had a Greek Prince till this year so makes sense
0:28 BRUH i though the queen was talking
Same
2:09 this guy looks like a character that MeatCanyon would draw
This show looks like those old Fifa Coin animations.
Audibly screamed âwhat the fuck?!â hearing Georgeâs voice.
What would that sound like
I'm gonna be honest, this show feels really disgusting. Mocking the Royal family is mostly fine, but mocking the kids? They haven't done anything yet, and they didn't ask to be born into the public eye. It feels so gross to misuse their names and image like this. Imagine growing up to learn that a show like this was made about you when you were eight years old, and some grown ass adults decided that they needed to make a mockery of you while you were still learning to read. Disgusting.
I feel like the genre of "adult animation" is really just wasted potential. Here is a great opportunity to create cartoons with potentially more complex and adult themes and stories. Yet nearly 90% of the time, all they manage to come up with is mindless nonsense with ironically quite juvenile and childish humor.
Despite being on HBO Max, fox animation technically created and produced this show. This makes it yet another family guy clone, but disney finally put their foot down and passed it on to whoever would take it to avoid responsibility.
Duckman, F is for Family,Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, Daria, Drawn Together (not the movie), Clone High, South Park, Futurama, Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill, The Boondocks, The Critic, Mission Hill, The Oblongs, Archer, Undergrads, Ugly Americans, Castlevania, Final Space, The Midnight Gospel, Solar Opposites, Invincible. These are all great adult animated shows if you're looking for something good to watch after witnessing whatever the hell "The Prince" is.
Tuca and Bertie too, but a lot of people missed it due to Netflix mismanaging the release.
@@Keyboardeater1 itâs super good
Don't forget about Helluva Boss,Beavis and Butthead,Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal,Infinity Train and Harley Quinn(2019)as well!!!
@@zachtheowlhousefanhall973 But I don't like Infinity Train. It is boring to me.
Sorry. I prefer to rewatch Total Drama series (not counting the second spin-off) and The Ridonculous Race than that show.
Rick and Morty was not that great to me. The humor basically came down to "Haha we're funny because we're being overly complex and elaborate"
This show is a year old and already outdated
Americans writing British characters doesn't work most of the time
It seems like these shows were written by a bunch of 5th graders instead of actual fully grown adults
Nah a fifth grader would make something more fun. With laser blasts, explosions, and fight scenes. At leas tthats what fith grade me would try to make.
like 90% of all adult cartoons
This series sounds like the end result of Family Guy's popularity.
I still can't get over the fact that they turned Prince Philip, the sharpest wisecrack in the entire family, even straight-up roasting Charles on more than one occasion, into almost literally a still image.
Sure, he was ancient, but if there was ONE royal made for a comedy, it was him. He was an absolute quote machine.
I gotta say, it's really sad that every time a new adult show is announced, it's usually just another modern family guy... over and over again...
This show just looks like a family guy ripoff and looks very bad.
But its British and HBO
@its fine czcams.com/video/q9_Mc-Jb2vc/video.html
I feel like the Queen's character has potential to be developed into a fictional character in a fictional universe, where there's a central plot of her being of old age and near death, having to choose an heir fit for the throne from her conniving, bratty, and/or dumb descendants.
I guess that would just be accused of being Disenchantment from the monarch's point of view.
3:38 Oh my god... that animation...
His animations are visible on a loop... Like they took a placeholder and just copy and pasted...
I haven't even finished watching this video and I'm appalled at how this was allowed into the final product...
