They revived The Critic in a series of webisodes, and they didn't do too well, so it's best this show just stay dead (or at least air in reruns on Crackle).
MADtv did a "Dennis the Menace"/"Menace II Society" mash-up also. It was about Mr. Wilson pushing crank and Dennis being his innocently destructive self...until the fake funeral at the end. Coincidentally, both had drive-by shooting scenes.
Just watched The Silence of the Lambs and had to find Honey I Ate the Kids immediately. Clarice's annoyed tone of voice gets me every time: "Did you eat the kids *again*?" XD
3:18 - 3:38/ Dear God, I lost it when they spoofed both SPARTACUS and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Just seeing Kirk Douglas hopping on that cross...🤣🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂📽😎
I think the exact opposite, is pretty dumb actually. If it had decent writers it would have been really funny, but all their jokes were extremely middle of the road. Even the episode where they parody Orson Welles have him use basic vocabulary, when he was a very eloquent person; went to show how limited the writers were.
Nah. Even though I like The Critic, the problem with it was it's lack of good supporting characters. Duke Philips was well done but everyone else was one-note.
I really want to see the live action version of Dennis The Menace: To Society. CGI has improved so much since the 1990's that I genuinely think you could make an awesome Thriller/Crime movie and have it parody the original cartoon. I mean cmon we already have The Fresh Prince with no laugh track and Archie banging Mrs. Grundy while people in Riverdale are murdering their moms in real life, so I think a gritty Dennis the Menace should be the next thing to hit the scripts.
Brown Acres was one of my favorite parodies. "Sand spreading out so hot and white... the temperature's 105 at night!" Reminds me of my time living in Las Vegas.
I definitely would love to see them do a live action movie for the critic. now if they had the right people to play the right characters and the right script, then only it could come out to be a perfect movie and a good one at that.
Eh, the reason The Critic is still good, is because it did not go on too long, until the old team of writers left and some newer, worse team came in and changed the show into something terrible. Or it just goes on too long, and they run out of good ideas so they just make things zany to pretend it's actual comedy. Ala The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and many more show that were once great, but then fell into a pit as they were on decades longer than they should have been. As such, I think that any modern media company that took on The Critic for a reboot or movie or what have you, would screw it up and taint the memory and legacy of the show,, because they turned it into abject garbage. So I guess, we should be careful what we wish for. We just might get it, and it might not be anything like what we thought we wanted.
It was created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss. They wanted to make a show as far away from the Simpsons as possible. It was also the first non-family animated show to be aired in primetime.
Yes, it did. James L. Brooks, Al Jean, and Mike Reiss were showrunners and the writers who worked on The Critic later on ended up writing for The Simpsons (and the two other Matt Groening cartoons, Futurama and Disenchantment): Ken Keeler (the same one who wrote that Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner reveals that he's really a man named Armin Tamzarian), Patric M. Verrone (who became head of the Writers Guild of America, western division), and some other ones I can't name because I forgot. Though I do know that Judd Apatow (the guy who created Knocked Up and Superbad) started out here.
@@JuanCarlos-wr8so So fucking annoying when political parties get dragged in for no reason. Conservative and liberals are just the two cheeks on the same ass.
@@JuanCarlos-wr8so Especially considering it's hardly one-sided. All I ever see on Twitter is a bunch of people who want to have their feelings, ideologies, and values validated through an echo chamber with no thought of being fair or objective. And yeah, I'm not talking about any one side. Humans in general I feel.
