TripTank

This is the worst show on Comedy Central. Possibly the worst show on television. There's no plot. Nor do they pretend to have a plot. There are no jokes. No set-ups. No punch lines. They are trying to create humor from shock value and nothing else. This is just s$&ting in the face of their audience and expecting them to enjoy this. It is a network's way of saying "here, go play with this coloring book while elsewhere, real programming is going on." This is the only review I've ever posted on IMDb. I love Comedy Central but this show is so far below the rest. I feel bad for the comedians who bring down their careers by contributing to this mess.

If youre over the age of 20 and looking for animation thats actually funny and not just attempting to be nonsensical or "shocking" to middle schooler's there are plenty of better options like Monkey Dust or better yet just watch some late 90s Adult Swim fare before they quit doing animation and started doing dumb live-action spoof shows and this terrible unfunny animation. Those of you entertained by drivel like Bojack Horseman will eat this right up and think its great, those of you with actual taste and viewing standards not so much, if you are going to bother i suggest consuming copious amounts of trendy chemical amusements before wading into this garbage pile of soundbites and poorly drawn animation. I got three whole episodes in before i just had to turn it off as i found it almost insulting just how unfunny the show is as a whole.

I may be too hung up on trying to understand things, but Triptank is just a mess of half baked animated shorts that has no cohesive thing that keeps it together. It relies way too heavily on bloody/dismemberment gags and way too little on funny set ups or clever writing. I watch it and think of someone stitching together some of the more mediocre stuff produced as student projects at some animators' school. It's not ready for prime time. Are you listening, whoever organizes this show? Watch a few seasons of Robot Chicken, and then make your best effort at a knock off of that show, you know, a show with humor. And Comedy Central, you don't need to grab just any animated creation. Granted a duo like Parker and Stone don't come along too often, but there must be better animated shows available to air.

Like most anthology shows, TripTank is a mixed bag of good and bad stuff.

Truth to be told, most of the segments are bad, but there are a few gems there and there.

Some segments are not particularly well animated, but at least they are amusing to watch.

It biggest weakness was relying too much in shock value, but I guess that's a common element in many modern American comedies.

This show has great potential, as it contains a wide variety of sketches with all sorts of wacky & raunchy humor. Most of the recurring characters are hilarious. As far as the lame ones go, they're usually only in one skit and then they're out.

Before watching this show, the viewer must be high, drunk, or both to enjoy it. I get the impression that all the negative reviews are from people who watched the show sober. To those people - I have no idea why you would waste your time watching a show like this when sober. It's clearly marketed to stoners & drunks. I'd go as far as to say that watching this show sober and then writing a negative review complaining about the lack of plot line is like watching episodes of Teletubbies as an adult and complaining about how predictable and unentertaining it was- it's not that it's a bad show; you're just the wrong audience.

I hope this show lives on for more seasons to come, as it seems to be this generation's Beavis & Butthead, or even a good replacement for Aqua Teen Hunger Force (since that show just got discontinued).
