Animated Atrocities: Superjail!

Superjail! is an upcoming episode of Animated Atrocities, as the first episode of its upcoming seventh season, produced, written, directed, and hosted by the Mysterious Mr. Enter.

In this upcoming episode, MrEnter finally watched all 37 11-minute episodes of Superjail!, and believed he has found proof as to how the 2000s as a whole were the worst decade in modern animation.

Script
MrEnter: I really don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Okay, as you all know, I have had a massive dislike for a large majority of cartoons from the 2000s. One project I never got to talk about was Foe Paws, a failed Cartoon Network pilot created by Chris Savino that I knew I was gonna hate, because it has the same concept of a stuck up cat and a stupid dog, like we’ve seen in every other cartoon. It was unsurprising that the man who made Foe Paws would go on to ruin Dexter’s Laboratory and the Powerpuff Girls; neither of which were any better than the 2016 reboot.

There’s a long list of cartoons from the 2000s that I genuinely despise, and that could be bad in levels of the Wacky World of Tex Avery. Shows like Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, the Nutshack, Johnny Test, Lil’ Bush, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Flapjack, Robotboy, the Buzz on Maggie, Yakkity Yak, My Gym Partner’s a Monkey, Adult Party Cartoon, Kappa Mikey, Drawn Together, Yin Yang Yo!, Wayside, Barnyard, Mighty B!, Squirrel Boy, Butt-Ugly Martians, the Cramp Twins, the list goes on.

I’ve also talked about how bad a number of cartoons from the 1990s are, like the Brothers Grunt, Mega Babies, the Wacky World of Tex Avery, CatDog, the list goes on. And now, we come to this. Recently, I watched all 37 11-minute episodes of this piece of shit show. I’ve seen Teen Titans Go!, King Star King, Mr. Pickles, and Brickleberry, but oh my god!! No cartoon from the 2000s can traumatize me more than this. Welcome to Superjail!

You wanna know why Total Drama, Adventure Time, and Regular Show were never given to [adult swim]?? This piece of shit show is why!!! This unholy soulless, mean-spirited mid-2000s cartoon abomination came out in 2008, but its pilot was made in 2007. I say this is a mid-2000s show, because it feels like My Gym Partner's a Monkey crossed with Johnny Test and King Star King. I know King Star King came out in the 2010s, but still. I have seen Mr. Pickles and King Star King; they were horrible. But I believe shows like this deserves the same treatment, because Superjail! is undeniable proof that the 2000s are for a fact a horrendous decade for television animation, and not even the early 2000s are safe from aging worse. Yes, we still got gems like Avatar, Samurai Jack, Teen Titans, and Danny Phantom, but did I mention before that we have a lot more bad in the 2000s than good? Yes, no decade is perfect, and even the 1990s has a number of bad shows, but this.... this show is so bad, that it would even make Rugrats look like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

It was created by none other than Christy Karacas, Stephen Warbrick, and Ben Gruber. Karacas worked on Daria, Warbrick worked on Beavis and Butt-Head, and Gruber worked on Breadwinners and Teen Titans Go!. I still enjoy Beavis and Butt-Head and Daria, but after watching Superjail!, it made me loathe everything related to Teen Titans Go!, including the crossover with the Powerpuff Girls reboot, and their two movies. You'll see why soon.

You assholes never believed me when I say the 2000s are one of the WORST decades in the history of animated television!! Well, now I have proof. All the evidence is with this one show I just watched. How is this proof that the 2000s were the worst decade in modern animation? You're about to find out right now.

Every episode goes like this, a babbling criminal named Jackknife who commits some heinous crime, only for Jailbot to come out of nowhere, beat him senseless, and arrest him. When Jackknife is sent to Superjail!, the Warden, who is described as a "Sadistic Willy Wonka", asks Jared to do some task, the "twins" fuck things up, everybody gets killed brutally on screen, and after everybody dies, people act like nothing ever happened. And a lot of people are gonna think I'm too harsh. Fuck... no. I say this is proof to why the 2000 decade is bad for good reason. And in case you're curious, everything I show and tell you, you will see why this show is not only bad, but bad in an amazing kind of way. So bad, it's just traumatizing.

It is so bad, that it REALLY never wanna make me go back to the 2000s EVER again!!! With some exceptions. Here's how. The main character, voiced by this David Wain guy, is a sadistic Willy Wonka. And people say that he's actually a hilarious character, when really, a lot of times, he's an asshole like Ronnie Anne from the Loud House, Jake from My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Rodney from Squirrel Boy, and Buck Cluck from Chicken Little. I know he acted like that because his father abused him, but the thing is, he actually never learns from it, and actually takes enjoyment in getting abused by his dad. I'm not kidding. And to show he's an asshole,--

Superjail! Warden: Girls are nothing more but a pack of hormonally insane vixens.

(Jailbot arrives and beeps HIV)

MrEnter: Still don't believe me, there was a moment in the episode "Don't be a Negaton", where Jared reveals that DL Diamond is a fraud, but nobody believes him!!

Jared: DL Diamond is a fraud!! And I have the proof! *audience boos* Mr. Diamond, a.k.a. Darryl the dying diamond is wanted for countless crimes, penny theft to necrocide!! He has impersonated the handicapped, assaulted a donkey, graffitti'd the elderly, swallowed gum--

Warden: Jared! Don't be such a negaton!! How will you ever make it passed level one with that bad attitude?

Jared: CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU??!!

MrEnter: And at the end of the episode, where he saves everyone from danger, here's how he's greeted.

Warden: (angrily) Way to go, Jared. No, really. Good job, man! Now we're never gonna meet the Galactoids!

(Alice punches Jared)

MrEnter: HE SAVED YOUR ASSES, AND THIS IS HOW YOU THANK HIM??!! I mean, Danny Phantom didn't get the same treatment, because despite Sam Manson, there was actually MORE to the show than just characters being stereotypes and jerks. And if you're still not convinced, Warden is still an asshole to Jared in the Terrorarium episode!!! This just makes him the Adult Swim equivalent of Mr. Krabs and Patrick Star. Yeah, Mr. Krabs in One Coarse Meal, Plankton's Regular, and SpongeBob You're Fired?? THAT Mr. Krabs?? And Patrick in Stuck in the Wringer, Yours, Mine, and Mine, and Pet Sitter Pat? THAT Patrick Star?? How's that? He is actually too selfish about that trophy he wanted, when he's unaware that he started the science far too fucking early!! Only caring about himself, he refuses to let Jared join, just because he's a nerd!!!

Warden: Where do you think you're going? You're not invited to my humility party! As your punishment, move that vat of growth serum back to the closet!! Besides, you're not tall enough for this ride!!

MrEnter: TYPICAL MID-2000S HUMOR!!!! And people found enjoyment in him shape-shifting?? He just comes off as someone who would make Jake the Dog from Adventure Time look humiliating!! He made me never wanna watch anything featuring Willy Wonka ever again!!! And when Jared causes an accident, the Warden still hates him, just because he's Jared!! He also has a name, but it was never revealed, because his voice actor would've been fired if he told anyone. But his name was actually Warren, so why isn't he fired?? He's nothing like Grunkle Stan, because he's so selfish and bratty, like Johnny Test or any 2000s kid!! In fact, Warden is just a more sadistic Chris McLean from Total Drama. It would honestly shock me that the guys who made this actually liked Total Drama. Warden is nothing more but a bully.

Oh, and speaking of Jared, he's the best fucking character, because he's one with any common sense!! And like Meg from Family Guy, he's always constantly abused. I mean, he DID used to be a prisoner, but working as the Warden's secretary, he was forced to do a lot of the terrible work for his boss!! He's always bullied by everyone around him!! He's basically the show's Squidward!! I feel sorry for him, because he's just there to be the show's ass monkey.

Alice, voiced by Christy Karacas, is an offensive transgender stereotype. She used to be Big Al but was fired due to his boss's transphobia. It would make us sympathize with her, but she never improves at all!!! When Jared wanted to take a hot steamy dip with his friends,--

Alice: Sorry. No nerds allowed.

MrEnter: 2000s, everybody!!! She's basically the prototype for Connie from Brickleberry. Tough gruffy female with a man's voice, and red hair.

And Jailbot?? He's just... Jailbot. That's all he ever is. He's just some crazy psychopath. As for the inmates. ALL of them have no character, and are just there to be jerks to one another. Oh, Jean and Paul are a gay couple, because their last names Guaye and Ghei sound like "Gay", WHAT THE FUCK??!! That is just offensive to gay people!! Fatty is just a generic fat guy, hence his name. Jackknife is just Dingle from Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, who even tried to rape teenage girls in one episode. And the other inmates just add to nothing, not even that Monster Convict in one episode. I get that he was based on horror movie villains, but he seems to be even more brutal than any of those, and not in a fun way, but a way that's disturbing, unintentionally!!

The twins are just there just for weirdness, and they literally have no personality whatsoever. They're just there. And the ladies from Ultraprison? They're just a gender-flipped Superjail!

People say that as gory and grotesque as any show on the block, it did not get the same treatment, because there's more to it than just the gore. The weirdness of the twins characters. The way the Warden talks, and he's actually fun and charming. Superjail's layout and design just in general. And the way they settle the gore is presented in a unique way. Really?? Really?? That's like saying Mr. Pickles and King Star King had more than just the gore. Okay, Superjail! HAS more than just the gore, but the gore is what I'll talk about later. The writing is just too mean-spirited and drugged up. And not to mention, WAAAAAY too 2000s. How? Stereotypes.

The art style is so fucking hideous!!! I mean, it's like if you were to combine the art styles of King Star King, Problem Solverz, and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome. Every character is not only an asshole, but everyone is WAAAAY too ugly to look at!! It's too hideous, it made Klasky Csupo's already ugly style look like Regular Show. Christy Karacas said influences for the show include Tex Avery, Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, child art, Bob Clampett, John K, Sesame Street, Vince Collins ("Malice in Wonderland"), Sally Cruikshank, Fleischer Studios, The Itchy & Scratchy Show, Looney Tunes, Mad, The Muppets, Yellow Submarine, outsider art, Gary Panter, Pee-wee's Playhouse, Schoolhouse Rock!, Earthworm Jim, Dr. Seuss and underground comix. Actually, the Doug TenNapel and John K parts make a lot of sense, because those guys can't seem to take criticism, and that their writing made no sense a lot of times. The rest don't. Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Fleischer Studios, and Walt Disney would never influence an even more fucked up version of Flapjack like this. Oh yeah, this is more fucked up than Flapjack.

The timing here is awful. Every episode is literally nothing but immature shock humor. Not just the constant gore, and everyone being jerks, but also its use of creepy Flapjack-style images, gross-out humor, toilet humor, unfunny gags, pop culture references that make no sense (and have already been done constantly), and writing that's too on par with the Wacky World of Tex Avery and Fanboy and Chum Chum. It's like Uncle Grandpa, but even worse. People wanting a fast bloodbath is just an unforgivable excuse. Why would anyone want a fast bloodbath in a cartoon this sadistic, senseless, and drugged up?? I mean, it works in horror media when done in the right hands, like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Child's Play, and fuck, even the Banana Splits Movie did a better job than this. If you wanna see gore done creatively, look at Korgoth of Barbaria. It does have gore, but there's more to it than just the gore. And the characters in Korgoth are not too ugly to look at. It's sad it never got picked up, as years later, the man who made Korgoth, Aaron Springer, went on to create Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer. It's terrible, but not ungodly horrible. It was just boring and generic, though I will say, did have its moments.

Superjail! is anything but just one show. It's like watching [adult swim]'s Freddy Got Fingered. I say that, because both projects came out in the SAME FUCKING DECADE!!!!! The way the show is animated is fucking horrible!! It's like Johnny Test on drugs crossed with King Star King. That's how bad the animation is!! Characters constantly snapping into poses, it moves way too fast, too fluid in levels of Bunsen is a Beast, it’s just an adult Teen Titans Go! And the voice acting??? It is horrible!! Fucking horrible!!

The actors just sound like they’re on drugs while at gunpoint, and it’s clear the team made an amazing amount of effort into making Superjail! as horrendous as possible. How else is the animation bad? It's WAAAAAAY too over the top and cartoony. And AniMat says Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania were too cartoony and over the top? At least those have substance. I've seen King Star King. Cartoony animation and gore don't work together. There's never a silent moment in this show. Just endless amounts of characters being obnoxious, annoying, rude, and sadistic.

Oh, and the doctor?? He has no character at all.

Season one was where the madness continued after the pilot. There were episodes consisting of celebrating a birthday party for a girl dying of cancer?? And Alice dresses a 4 year old girl like a slut, because pedophilia. And in that same episode, the Warden's inner child-- WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT??!!!! Also, why name a girl "Cancer", but pronounce it as "Sancer"?? And how is a male human Warden pregnant?? Especially on HIS birthday!!! Also, if you're trying to pay an homage to horror movies, the way you do it is just copying.

If you think Superjail! is supposed to be mean-spirited? Fuck no!! This is where people have had ENOUGH cruelty in cartoons!!! It's just like watching a modern Family Guy, Fairly OddParents, and SpongeBob episode mixed with Drawn Together, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, and every other bad 2000s cartoon.

Yes, Tex Avery's cartoons are known for being very exaggerated in terms of facial expressions, and they can be very fluid in terms of its animation, but at least the jokes were funny, and the violence, while extreme, doesn't feel very gory. Besides the Wacky World of Tex Avery, Superjail! is another insult to Tex Avery's work, because it is WAAAAY too gory and violent. And how could this be even worse besides all the bullying? At least Tex Avery's work was calm and subtle. There was more to his work than just being crazy. Superjail! is too crazy, and too mean.

This makes Project G.e.e.K.e.R. look like a Bruce Timm cartoon. Totally Spies! was more interesting than this!! Also, the theme song sounds like if the singer wasn't even trying!!

Singer: Oh, Life on the outside ain't what it used to be.

Y'know, the world's gone crazy,

And it ain't safe on the streets.

Well, it's a drag, I know,

There's only one place to go.

I'm comin' home!

Oh yeah! I'm comin' home!

MrEnter: OH MY GOD!!! THAT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!

Season one was produced by Augenblick Studios, because they have ben known for shows like Wonder Showzen, and later, Ugly Americans. And around the same time Problem Solverz was pitched to [adult swim] as Neon Knome, this style looked very similar to Problem Solverz, and even if that show WAS on [adult swim], it would not be any better.

Seasons two to four were then animated by Titmouse, inc., and their animation is not only similar to their work on King Star King, but the animation is even more insane and over the top, that now it just looks even worse. And the writing became even more forced. Moments that would make the show more mature would instantly fail the moment it was announced. In fact, Titmouse's run ran from 2011 to 2014. Yet I still consider this a 2000s cartoon.

Titmouse produced the show during seasons two to four during the time Adventure Time and Regular Show were at the height of their popularity, and this fucking piece of shit show is the main reason why those two were never picked up by [adult swim]. Each episode made me feel like if I was revisiting Ren and Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", it is THAT pitiful! And knowing this came out in the 2000s, only a demonic psychopath fool would get a kick out of a show like this. Characters were given backstories for no reason, and the story arcs are just nothing but pointless filler. And people thought Adventure Time delivers terrible story arcs?? Superjail!'s story arcs are even worse. And mass murders don't make the show any more enjoyable, because it just makes it even harder to sit through. And the character development adds to nothing.

The Warden's shape shifting abilities get even more irritating, that I really want Jake the Dog to save me. And they introduced Lord Stingray, just because. He's basically the show's version of Snaptrap from T.U.F.F. Puppy, but even more annoying.

Season two included episodes where Jackknife and Jailbot are stuck in an island, and the Warden tries to prepare himself, but failing miserably. And that episode premiered one day before the Problem Solverz premiered, guys!! Taht episode ended with Jared losing as usual.

There was even an episode where Superjail! has a Grand Prix, because... why?? And there was even an episode where one of the twins give birth to a baby, and they eat it?? WHAT THE FUCK??!!

Season three gets even worse. Everyone in Ultraprison takes over Superjail! after the events of that vacation episode, and the Mistress has sex with Lord Stingray, and becomes a hippie? Then there's the episode where Gary makes a giant puppet, and loses his voice at the end. Jared runs the Superjail! after the Warden is left in a coma, and as usual, everyone kills each other, because comedy.

Then there's this magic show episode. And the magic they showed.... involved murder. There's also an episode that focuses on handicapped people, and they just have no character whatsoever. They're only there just to be killed. What's worse is that there's a Scottish cripple, nicknamed "Bagpipe", because he's Scottish. I get that bagpipes are a Scottish musical instrument, but he's nothing but a Scottish stereotype.

There's even a reference to Oedipus in one episode!! WHAT THE FUCK??!!!

Season four is the worst of the bunch, because it's where things get worse by far!!! And it just goes to show you how the 2000s were proven bad thanks to this FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT SHOW!!!!!

The fourth season started with the episode "Superhell!", and Superjail! just became what it literally is. Hell. The second episode is just where the Warden blames smoking for destroying Superjail!, when really, HE AND ASH FUCKING BURNED THE PLACE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! Also, Turban is an Indian stereotype.

Turban: I swear on my grandma's grave! This is my last one?

(everyone is about to beat Turban up)

Would I lie to you guys? My homies?

MrEnter: And while the first three seasons had 10 episodes per season, season 4 only had 6 episodes. And they just exploit how horrible the show truly is from beginning to end. And the Superjail! Six was where the series ended.

People say that Mr. Pickles got the show cancelled. No, because Superjail! is worse than Mr. Pickles. Fuck, it's even worse than King Star King, which isn't even saying much.

I say Superjail! ended in 2014, because of how much attention Rick and Morty got, and for good reason. Rick and Morty is an amazing show, because of its clever writing, intense action, and great humor. Also, we have well developed characters in that show.

NOTHING about Superjail! is good. It's just too insane and raunchy for the sake of shock humor. I mean, there's Jared, but while he's the best character, he's just there to be the show's butt monkey. It's a more twisted My Gym Partner's a Monkey meets Johnny Test; that's how bad Superjail! is. And it doesn't make most of the bad 2000s cartoons any better, it just makes the decade worse. If this was handled by people like Butch Hartman, Chris Savino, John K, or even Doug TenNapel or Seth MacFarlane, it still would've been the same fucking show!!! We live in a world where shows like Korgoth of Barbaria and the Modifyers never got the green light, yet Fanboy and Chum Chum and Superjail! did. Adventure Time and Regular Show were lucky to have gotten the green light.
