Agent Elvis

Elvis 1968 to 1971 was about the coolest man on the planet. As cool or cooler than Elvis 1954 to 1958? Who cares!? This cartoon is late 60s, early 70s Elvis, reinvented in cartoon form as a Matt Helm/ Our Man Flint / Archer/ Johnny Bravo character. And ... it's cool! It's fun! It's stupid ... fun, cool stupid. The sort of Elvis fan who genuflects at his name will consider this toon romp as unforgiveable blasphemy, and will be most likely want to dump on the cartoon. I'm a fan of Elvis and have been for decades ... got a tattoo, everything he's recorded (bad and superb), etc. You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this series, but the silliness, stupid violence and general irreverence should give this wider appeal.

Some nice, subtle satire too.

Just because it's adult animation doesn't mean it's target audience is people in their 20's, the target is Elvis fans. I'm 35 and have been a fan of Elvis' for 22 years. I'm under 40 and I don't need to reference Wikipedia to know who Dean Martin is, unlike one user review suggested. I was born in '88 and had listened to every available recording of the Martin & Lewis radio show before I was even 20. When I watch Agent Elvis and delight in the references made about the other greats of the time, I feel like the show was made specifically for me. If a show can make a viewer feel seen, then it's a good show in my opinion.

This show pokes fun at everything Col Parker wanted Elvis to be, making light of the failed attempt at a Christmas special, the terrible movies, etc. I feel like Elvis himself would get a kick out of this show, especially with it not being G or PG rated. We all know Parker would have brokered some kind of deal with someone to make it a family friendly production and sucked the joy out of it in the process. Thankfully we have Priscilla at the helm, and considering her involvement in the Naked Gun movies, I don't doubt her judgement or sense of humour.

I don't think this show was made to revolutionise adult animation, I really think it's just a treat for Elvis fans. Everything the Presley family has done since Elvis' death has been to keep his memory alive, and having something new like this, instead of re-watching everything else he's done for the millionth time, is a refreshing way to remember and enjoy Elvis Presley.

Am not surprised by how well people come up with crazy ideas for commodity these days in spite of the fact that the guy was an actual legend, it wasn't disturbing by the way but coming from the point that it all wasn't bad and they got the permission from maybe a family member or something is all the more interesting when attached to something, I get the idea wasn't a washed up one to begin with but the in the normal Grand scheme of things this was in it's own way prematurely disturbing am not holding it against anyone nor studio of production for what they did just an opinion from a reviewer but for worths worth i did take a little liking to it just a little so thats that.

This show is really funny. Making references not only to Elvis himself but to sixties culture in general. Yes, it is irreverent, violent and graphic but it is a lot of fun. Every episode had me cracking up.

Obviously this show is a tribute to the King and possibly to what he liked or would liked to have been: a spy. But it is also a nice spy show.

The characters are well written and their stories are funnier as the show progresses.

I loved how the writers decided to include every possible conspiracy theory out there just for the sake of it.

This show is not for everyone but those who like this type of animation (adult swim) and this kind of humor will definitely appreciate it.

I don´t think the show need any more episodes or seasons, it works just as it is.

Huge fan of early Archer so I really really wanted this to work but after watching whole series I just came away with meh. Mathew Machonahay as Elvis worked better then I would have thought. There was no reason to cuss as much as they all do. The violence seems a bit to much in parts. But it also seems like characters are trying to be unlikable. The commander and Cece seem like there their just to be unlikable. The storylines on interesting since this whole thing is set in 1968 the year I was born so it seems only Boomers and Gen X would get the majority of the references. Which Im fine with as Archer had that 60's spy motif to their series. But I wonder how big an audience it has. I just didn't find the humor I was looking for you don't need big out loud guffaws just the snide little in jokes of archer but this seems to almost try to hard. I think I need to forget about it for several weeks then watch it again see what I think then.
