The Drinky Crow Show #11: “Peace” | January 26, 2009 - 12:15AM | S01E10

War is over! Drinky and Gabby can return home and finally become Family Guys. Drinky goes back to his Lois and finds that she’s laid a bunch of Megs (eggs); dashing his plans for a better life of not having children. Gabby finds a Lois on the street that willingly re-enacts that famous photo of Lisa Simpson being kissed from the end of Bart the General. She’s a disreputable woman who slips something in Gabby’s drink, causing him to hallucinate French soldiers overrunning the streets. He goes on a killing spree, killing many of his fellow vets. He also fires a cannonball into the air, which we see flying through the background of many scenes. 

Drinky is very depressed being forced to do expecting dad shit. Gabby winds up on the more-exciting track as a career criminal. He winds up trying to please a pair of jet-setting tomb-raiders who crave a hitman who can deliver a poetic revenge kill. Gabby’s methods are too low-brow for them, causing him to enlist Drinky’s help, who helps him step up his creativity. They wind up capturing the tomb raiding couple’s adversaries and connecting them to a complicated murder machine which involves urethra pinching.

Gabby has a funny plan that backfires; he poisons his targets and then injects their fingers with the antidote, thinking that they will have to eat their own fingers to get the antidote. They are quick to point out that eating the fingers won’t be necessary, since the antidote is still inside them, and working its way into their bloodstream as they speak.

Since Drinky helps Gabby, it’s only fair Gabby return the favor. Gabby helps Drinky get drunk at the baby shower, which causes him to cook his then-unhatched babies into an omelet. As trouble mounts for the duo, the previously-seen cannonball disrupts the signing of the official peace treaty. War’s back on, so luckily our plucky duo now have an excuse to flee back into combat. The final scene shows Drinky, Gabby, and a French combatant all uniting to flee their respective wives, who interrupt the war to chase them on a speedboat, each sitting atop a pile of freshly-laid eggs.

This one has at least one reference to a previous episode; when Gabby goes to jail he’s seen sitting next to the ogre whose part of a trio of conjoined triplets. That’s from the episode Organs. There might have been other references to previous episodes, but I’m too stupid to have picked them out. 

That’s The Drinky Crow Show. I had seen only a handful of episodes before this project, and I think I have a newfound appreciation for it. The pilot episode still grates on me; the animation is too awful. The animation was markedly better in the series, thank god. I grew to appreciate Gabby’s voice, even though I initially criticized it for being too cartoony. I wish they got to do a second season. I wonder if Dino ever tried to pitch Millionaire and co. on trying to do this show as a stop-motion show? Sorry, that’s just a stray thought that just occurred to me while I was cleaning my suicide gun just now. I wish I could expand on it, but duty calls. Bye bye and RIP to me

MAIL BAG

I guess I won't be killing myself today. I have mail to answer. From KON!

Please hate Robot Chicken more, I implore you! It sucks so much!!!

That episode mostly bored me, and the only joke I outright hated was "rape shoes", and I didn't want to sound woke by complaining about it lol :( I basically just didn't write about "rape shoes" can you blame me???

review all the mst3k episodes

Too hard!!

Obscure Animation Subject #28: The Drinky Crow Show

Originally posted on Twitter on January 28, 2023,

Created by Eric Kaplan and Tony Millionaire, based on the latter’s comic strip Maakies which ran from 1994 until 2016, its a computer animated cel-shaded series aimed for adults. It’s rare to get CGI shows from adults…

The series is directed by Matt Danner and produced by Mirari Films and Williams Street. It aired on Adult Swim from November 23, 2008 to January 25, 2009. The theme song is preformed by They Might Be Giants, a band I only know for their guest appearance on Blue's Clues.

Curious to know what episode the band appeared in? It was in the episode Bluestock, which originally aired 11 days before I was born. I grew up with the episode because I watched it on DVD when little. Their appearance in the episode can be seen here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vBpk5JgZMos&source_ve_path=MTc4NDI0

Back on topic, I never read the comic or seen the show, but Henry reviewed it in his scorecard and thought it wasn’t good but gave him interest in the strip. As this was based on a strip, the jokes maybe better off as out of context clips. Funny as shitposts but not for TV.

Henry described the humor as sometimes funny but unfunny and edgy mostly. Reading the strip, he found the humor there funnier than this show. I’m curious on checking out both as their defiantly interesting to discuss, though I might read the strip first for better humor.

🔥 for adult animation

well you see. everyone who says "ALL ADULT ANIMATION IS SO AWFUL AND IS SOOO UGLY AND UNFUNNY AND ALL THEY DO IS SAY SLURS" is dumb as shit <3

ok thats a bit mean but

like

where. there are ones like that that are very mainstream, yeah

then there are weird surreal shit like ATHF. some really intricate shows like Venture Bros and Ballmastrz 9009. some shows that Do have offensive shit but have so much more to them too as well like Superjail and Clone High. Shows that really pushed art style experimentation like Lazor Wulf and The Drinky Crow Show.

I know more adult animated shows that look cool more than I do ones that look bad??

what i need people to understand is that "art style ugly" is a dumb complaint. like. these cartoons arent going to be pretty like the owl house or steven universe(Which are very pretty!) because one of the purposes of an art style in a cartoon is to, at a glance, tell you what kind of show it is

example. you see any family-guy esque style and know it's gonna be a sitcom. You see Vbros and can tell immediately it heavily parodys adventure cartoons such as johnny quest. You look at lazor wulf and know its chill.

like. squidbillies would Not work if it was beautifully animated like some shows for kids. It is supposed to have that scribbly handdrawn look, hence why the backgrounds are also all hand painted.

like. art styles have a purpose. theyre not there to all look pretty. some are! and those work so well for the shows theyre in! but "ugly" art styles are just as meaningful and purposeful.

like...art styles in shows arent just. arbitrarily chosen.
