is there any other show that has constant movie references and parodies that just cracks you up as much as the critic? i don't think so. while south park, family guy, and the simpsons came close when they were all at their prime, they dont match the critic. so please if you havent seen it go to the bathroom, relieve yourself, go to the dvd store, buy the dvd store, and watch as you piss yourself from laughing even though you've already gone to the bathroom!

If so, you're wrong very very wrong.

"Oooh, that's a tough one, son. Now here's one for you. They're called fingers, but they don't fing. Noodle that one for a while."
Say what you will about the Critic, but Jay's dad was one of the funniest animated characters ever.

It was good, but compared to B:TAS and Futurama, it's not even close.

How was B:TAS an animated comedy show? :mistrust:

02-08-2007, 06:58 PM
But I still put the first eight years or so of The Simpsons above it.
It was pretty awesome, though.

I love The Critic. I've seen every episode many times and still never get tired of it. I usually watch the entire box set every couple of months.

My favorite gag from that show ever is when Jay walks out of his girlfriends apartment, is at the top of the stairs about to walk down them, and a flower pot out of nowhere falls and shatters across his head. She says "Did that hurt?" and he goes "No, but this will" and he falls down the stairs.

That's a goodun
My favorite gag was when Jay was in Hollywood and there was an earthquake and the "H" fell off the Hollywood sign and a guy comes walking out of a house below it, looks up, and yells "What the H?" right before the house is crushed by the giant H. I still say "What the H?" to this day.

absolutley loved that show.
(although i'd probably put futurama above it as greatest animated comedy series...though not by much)
the tick is also pretty close in terms of entertainment.

my favorite gag was in the hollywood episode. You are looking up into a muscular mad's apartment, all you can see is his shadow, suddenly he takes off his muscles then in an austrian accent says "no one must know"

It really was a great and underrated show. I'd even say I enjoyed it better than Futurama.

I guess I can see why people think The Simpsons sucks if they think this show is good...all coming together...

It was a pretty funny show, but I think you may be given to hyperbole.

The Critic is pretty cool.
It's up there in the echelon with stuff like Family Guy.
I don't know about the greatest.
Definitely some good one-liners, though.

"There's a pumpkin pie cooling on her windowsill, you make nice, and the pie is mine!"
"6 lunches? Me likee much much."
"Uh oh, time to release some noxious amnesia gas."
"It is not amnesia gas."
"But it is noxious, you gots to give me that."

The show was pretty good, but I'm suspicious as to how all the mid-'90s movie parodies hold up.

Futurama is, in fact 'the greatest animated comedy series ever' but I did like a few episodes of The Critic.
The one with Siskel & Ebert fighting on the plane is a true classic.

i do love it when comedy central occasionally airs old episodes of the critic and duckman at like 3 am.
