What the HELL is Funny Pets? (how was THIS a kids show...) 

Japan gets all the cool stuff

Shows like this make me realize there are other countries who have different rules on what a "kids show" is like than in America.

The dude should definitely be asked to do something for Adult Swim. All his work is something ripped straight out of there and this time he can *really* set loose. It's perfect.

The moment you mentioned Popee the Performer I told myself "NOW it all makes sense" 😂 The creator really has a way of making fucked up kids' shows, doesn't he

I feel like this could become a huge hit if it aired on something like Adult Swim.

These kids shows just mess with my brain. Trust me, I have a 4 year old sister and RU-vid kids adults screaming is not pleasant either.

12:14 I love how this clip is just "They're dead. *Laughs maniacally*"

WHEN I WAS YOUNG I HAD A DVD OF THIS. the whale episode traumatized me, and I was wondering about this cartoon my entire life until around last year. I never knew the name. It made me so frustrated not knowing anything about it having seen it when I was like 4. I’m so glad I grew up with this.

The fact this is made by the same creator of Poppy the Performer really speaks volumes

But I'm still wondering how the creator got away with making popee, but not with funny pet's, to the point that the creator got banned from the network for making it

i adore PTP but have never seen this one before! masuda is an absolute god when it comes to surreal humor and slapstick, seeing saber's reaction to the chaos is amazing lol. also, funny herself is cuuuuuuute did you know ryuji's wife actually drew some undertale fanart back when the game was new? apparently toby fox is a big fan, so mrs. masuda drew sans and popee hanging out!

16:59 That's it. I'm dead. My ghost is writing this.

The designs of the _Funny Pets_ characters looks like it could be the next _Barbie_ or _Strawberry Shortcake_ franchise, but ends up become possessed by Chucky Doll. The fact that it's made by the same creator behind Poppy the Performer makes it even bizzare it's beautiful.

This show is the definition of, “never let them see it coming.”

Another really wild animated show I really recommend you check out is Xavier: Renegade Angel. It's one of my favorite shows, not only because of how extremely wacky it can get at times, but also because it makes genuinely great use of fast-paced comedy at all times during the show. It took me multiple viewings to catch all of the jokes, not because they were bad, in fact they are all very funny to me, but because they come in such quick unrelenting succession, often through wordplay, it is nearly impossible to understand everything going on. The show will completely change subjects on a whim, while making use of incredibly wild visuals, which means it requires your full attention to be followed without getting lost. While that sounds bad, I find the show embraces this craziness quite well, and generally ends up being incredibly fun despite the chaos. Since its structure is practically non-linear, most of the entertainment is derived or from the craziness of the show itself, or its quick quippy comedy, which it achieves quite well, especially through dark and relatively edgy humor. Overall, funny show 10/10

20:12 even the dog in the background opened his mouth in shock

this show is just a little silly, and perhaps even wacky, maybe even a bit traumatizing !! thank you saber for introducing this hell to me

"Mr. Stain on Junk Alley" is completely different. It's more calm and, compared to PTP or Funny Pets, it's charm is less about very violent slapstick and more about pretty emotional moments, especially the finale. The first half is about silly and a little weird shenanigans of a homeless man and his cat friend, but it quickly turns into a bunch of pretty heartwarming stories. It's really worth a watch.

*Sees picture of Funny* Excuse me one moment... *Goes into the bathroom and locks the door*

So corona is the “Kenny McKormic” of the group 9:13

Aw yes Japan having the most obscure animated kid shows and I'm all for it!

I'm still wondering how Funny Pets got the creator blacklisted but the much bloodier Poppee didn't.

That animation is the definition of "never let you enemies know you next move" or smth like this

11:24 Bro the chat💀

I don't understand how this show doesnt have a fandom like popee

"Oh my god, they killed Corona!" "You bastards!"

10:53 They really went A w o o g a

12:47 bruh just turned into kirby😂

Popee seems like one of those lightning in a bottle circumstances where everything lined up with the right people at the right time, and any attempt to recreate it feels like a lesser version. Though, I hear Mr. Stain on Junk Alley is good too because it does it’s own thing, I haven’t seen it but I can’t wait for Saber to talk about it.

I find it amazing how this Ryuuji Masuda guy just busts into his producer’s office with any new idea he has for these “children” shows, fills them with violent and dirty jokes, gets them greenlit, and nobody says anything about it whatsoever.

I really like the world in this show. According to the story from the website (which can only be accessed through internet archive. Sadly, some of the pictures didn't make it) Funny's house is adjacent to a bunch of ruins in the area around it is a national park which was originally her grandfather's, but was difficult to maintain so it was put under the control of the government along with the ruins. Looking at all the background objects in the sceneries, there's so much story to tell. It's sad that we never got a chance to hear or see more about this world.

Seeing as it’s canonically in australia, I think it’s all pretty accurate apart from the guns 8/10

19:20 I think what makes this even better/worse is that Moon and Sun were classified as her PETS- Take that in ANY way you want X’DDDD This show is absolutely incredible, I want more episodes of Funny Pets PLEASE

i love how corona's role in this show is the equivalent of kenny's in the first few seasons of south park.

12:41 I don't know how i laughing so hard for this scene for a hour and not get tired 🤣

I haven't watched this series except what's been shown but I gotta say the comedy, in terms of randomness, feels so similar to a series I once read called Dr. Slump, it's by Akira Toriyama the same dude who did Dragon Ball and has its own anime series I believe. Even if Saber doesn't do a video on it I feel like he'd have an absolute blast watching it lmao

This isn't exactly a kids network just because of the name. The station played shows directed towards adults and more child like stuff. It was just an anime station in general

There are actually a few female characters in Popee! There’s an episode where Papi goes through a mirror portal and (most of) the cast meets alternate versions of themselves.(Though, they were in one episode, so it’s debatable if they count) Another great video Saber!

8:55 Wait a second...

11:44 MATRIX!!!!

Is it possible the name was a mistranslation and they actually meant "Funny's pets" as opposed to it being 'Funny Pets'? Especially because of the kink nature of some of the scene and in lieu of the fact that it's about aliens who are her pets I think it makes more sense. Great video as usual

Uki, i binged Funny Pets here is what i've learned, the director's brutal slapstick is still there but, it got toned down in favor for unpreditable storytelling, however like Saber said, the story are all over the places due to unpredictable direction of the story, it will make you felt questionably aimless while your neuron is activated by 2 pairs of Jigglypuffs. In short, despite of the cons of the storytelling if you want something chaotic that could messed up your little Simian brain, then Funny Pets is a total go 2.

I love the voice saber did for him reading one of the ratings

Saberspark: Funny can also be somewhat selfish and cruel, but nowhere near the same degree as Popee Me:😐 ... Did you skip over the episode where Funny emotionally manipulated Crescent into "off" everyone with random objects for her own amusement. Then when crescent tried to stop her by throwing a knife at her it's bounced back at him and "offed" himself. Funny then proceed to spank his LIFELESS CORPSE not because he tried to kill her but because she didn't like him throwing knives. Me: The woman pretty much stands on the same pedestal as the clown, if not a little higher.

To be honest anything can be turned into a kid's show.

the dude backflipping onto the arrow and riding away on it cemented this show as the best

12:23hottt milk💀💀

13:58 WHAT DA HELL IS THAT

I'm a big fan of Popee and Ryuji Masuda's work as a whole. I just feel like there's a lot to be learned from more obscure Japanese media. I would love to see saberspark talk about Gregory Horror Show or Pecola

When the video has ‘Kids Show’ in the title, you know it’s gonna be good

Funny pets is more wholesome than RU-vid Kids videos

9:32 damn corona *ar ar ar ar ar*

Watched it on the stream with a friend who was visiting. We ended up laughing and screaming at just how crazy and unpredictable it was. I totally recommend watching season 2 just for the laughs

this show is just the phrase “never let them know your next move”

16:53 never let them predict your next move 😈

Where they thinking of Mac Tonight with Crescent? It was a 1980s McDonald's mascot spoof of a horrible gangster song called Mack the Knife, but to sell burgers. The sun could be the Corn Fakes sun. That's be meta.

Despite all its weird shit and harsh reviews, Funny Pets is genuinely one of my favorite shows. Unfortunately every time I try to show it to my friends they take one look at Funny and write it off lol

I still don't understand how Poppy the Performer had like a 'Indie game' or anime type of fandom

19:25 I guess Moon got what he wanted in the end... 😧

I can see two main reasons this show is underrated Talk about "celestial bodies..."

13:05 See, this show isn't weird. It's just set in Australia.

This is what kids shows are at this point nightmare fuel with questionable things in them

22:10 I love Mr. Bean He’s in my personal top 10 funniest British people ever

The most unnerving thing about this is that Funny looks like some GameCube-era Super Mario sports spinoff original character

Why does this feel like a robot chicken episode.

This isnt a kids show. but it would make a good Adult Swim show

6:47 that looks good

3D Animation, chaos, and seeing Saberspark laughing and having a fun time makes this 10/10 👍

I haven't seen Funny Pets yet. I've only seen Popee the Performer & Mr. Stain so far. Mr. Stain isn't nearly as chaotic, but it's still a VERY surreal series to watch. It mostly goes between surreal comedy, dark comedy, & (surprisingly) surreal horror at times! You'd have to watch Mr. Stain yourself to see what I mean! It manages to be legitimately CREEPY at times! Naturally, Mr. Stain also runs on negative continuity much like both Popee the Performer & Funny Pets.

I really recommend that people should take a look at Usavich because it deserves more western love. The studio behind it also made another series called Inazuma delivery. Both shows are decently long with Usavich having 6 seasons and Inazuma Delivery having 2.

I had such a sht day at work and was so glad to see this vid pop up. I utterly fell in love with PTP after your first video on it, and I knew this would be good Funny walking out with the Uzi before firing legitimately had me wheezing with laughter. This is pure shtpost mastery. You can't predict or try to expect anything in these shows. The prevalence of BDSM themes with Funny was something I didn't think they'd go so far as to do, but apparently that's a line they'd cross too

14:43 this happened to my 3 year old brother one time

He absolutely has to review Gregory horror show. Its in the same vibe as poppe being weird CGI horror for kids

Btw for those who don’t know, there’s another show by the creator called Mr Stain on Junk Alley. Take a hobo named Stain, a giant yellow cat named Palvan, put them in a run down city block called Junk Alley and base each episode around whatever they find in the junk piles. Insanity ensues.

It’s weird, chaotic, and has fan service. Ya know, for the kids!

15:30 - if I remember right, there was a hot air balloon that had a hole in it but it didn't pop. Still life threatening though and the father and kids made it out safely. So what I'm saying is it's less dangerous than what the cartoon showed. Then again I didn't look up any unfortunate events where the fire was too strong or the gas was extra flammable.

My favorite show from ryuji is definetly garakuta (mr. stain on junk alley) it was made between popee and funny pets and it was the most polished series by far. The animation is good, it has lots of characters like stain palavan or radio boy, the outro music is the best, and it tells more complex story than popee and funny pets and still without any words. I love it.

Legitimately thought Mr Stain on Junk Alley was some sort of odd fever dream I had when I was a kid. Had no clue that not only was it real, but it was created by this absolute mad lad. Thank you Saber for bringing back a core memory.

5:42 pov: you got killed by the police

Mr Stain on Junk Alley is still one of my very favorite pieces of animation. It's so bizarre and oscillates between being relatively kid-friendly, to watching a police officer physically crush a child's soul. It is amazing!

Finally glad to see one of ryuji masuda’s lesser known works get attention. While funny pets is similar to popee the performer, it’s enjoyable in its own way.

Video starts at 4:35 Sponsorship starts at 6:00 and ends at 8:00 Saber watching the show starts at 10:23 and stops at 20:50 Video ends at 23:36 Video length: 6:34

19:12 A for Ashma

That end clip where that elephant uses her baby as a shield was hilarious.

this goes into the “would scare the shit out of me as a kid” category. if you showed this to 5 year old me, i’d cry and be sleepless from a month at least

This is unrelated to the video but the fact that this man voice acted for a show that has sentient objects is honestly very astonishing

Crescent trying to run out the door while get shot fucking kills me every time 😭😭😭

I love surreal art, so I love shows like this. This show, Ren and Stimpy, Courage the Cowardly Dog. Either you get it, or you don't get it. 😁

2:30 I know that review is supposed to make the show look bad, but honestly it sounds like a wild trip.

this show is like SMG4 videos in a series with non Super Mario characters, I love it

16:58 I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT SOUND CLIP IT SYNCED SO WELL 😂😂😂

I’d like to be Funny’s pet. She’s an absolute rocket.

This show is pure chaos and I'm all for it

This legit looks like a poorly animated CGI RU-vid Kids Cartoon but with anime type characters.

My brain at 0:42: WHAT IS THAT THING

This video was totally a trip to watch! Thanks much for your analysis on Funny pets and a poppy retrospective ^^ I am wondering if you know about Abunai Sisters, a 3d anime made by studio IG, the animation is a tad lower quality but the hilarity, lewdness and cringe are totally worth watching for the fascination of it 👍

21:59 m a n f a c e

Funny looks like a cross between Strawberry Shortcake and Betty Boop, but completely unhinged versions.

2:20 I NEVER HEARD SABER SWEAR OOO:

When he does the voice for the review... Please does anybody hear Quagmire's voice from family Guy? 2:00
