Tom Goes to the Mayor (2004)
Worst Adult Swim Show...EVER!
I've watched two episodes of this series...and that was two more than I should've watched of this pathetic excuse for a series. The animator seems to come from the David Rees' (from the comic strip "Get Your War On") school of pasting clip art on a white board and calling it a cartoon. But while Rees tries to actually send a message in his strips, this cartoon doesn't send any message whatsoever other than "this is the funniest show ever...provided that your blood-alcohol count is over 1.5!" Here's an example: In one of the episodes I watched, the town of Jefferton (the town Tom and the Mayor live in) is about to host Toodles Day, which involves a dog chosen to play matchmaker for other dogs in the town! Get it? Wait, here's another joke: Tom tries to train the matchmaker dog by teaching him to sniff the anus of another dog! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a riot! I haven't seen comedy this funny since the live-action movie version of "Dudley Do-Right!" Oh, and here's another joke: the town's local news team is "the only married news team," because they're both stereotypically gay! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Stop it, you're killing me! This series should've been axed a long time ago. Adult Swim has other good cartoons: Harvey Birdman is a funny show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a randomly hilarious show. Tom Goes To The Mayor is, to put it bluntly, just plain retarded.
The Longest Yard (2005)
It ain't French cuisine, but it's still pretty good.
I read Roger Ebert's review before I saw this movie, which basically boiled down to this: "why can't Adam Sandler be more like a fancy French film? Why must he act like some...commoner?" Buddy, if you want to see some fine art, then go rent Crouching Tiger. This is just a movie for those of us who want pure, unadulterated laughs (yours truly included). I think this movie shows Adam Sandler at his best since Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. I laughed my butt off during the first 15-20 minutes alone. Sure, the racist and stereotypical jokes are a bit overdone, but I still laughed out loud all the same.
If anyone expects this movie to match the grit of its predecessor, you'll be disappointed. However, if you just want to laugh your butt off to comedy without any overt social or political backdrop behind it, then by all means go see this movie. You won't be disappointed.
Jonny Zero (2005)
Jonny Zero...zero talent
I thought that this show would be good, as the producer behind ER was doing this show...boy, was I wrong. For being marked as another "tough guy who doesn't play by the rules," Jonny runs away from almost every fight in the show. Other times, he simply gets beat up by bouncers, the FBI, and even a 17-year-old girl who kicks him in the 'nads. That's not to mention his acting, in which Jonny always sounds like he's tired, whining, or both. And his sidekick "Random" is another stereotypical "lame white boy trying to act black." Why, oh why did a man who produced ER decide to attach his name to this piece of crap? If this show is lucky, it will get five episodes out before being cast back into the darkness from whence it came.
