It's been a few years since I last watched the show. Probably was when it switched to animated.

I just decided to put on episode 1 and it's such a difference.

Julian is a criminal but he has a heart and cares about his community. The way he defeats Cyrus is nothing short of heroic. But he's never funny. He works as a straight man because he's the hero and is trying to improve himself.

Ricky is pure comedy, and also has a heart under the criminal exterior.

Bubbles is pure innocence and wise.

They are at odds with Lahey, but there is respect there too on some level.

Then there's a massive cast of side characters introduced in 20 mins who you get to know, really filling up the atmosphere, and most of them hilarious in different ways. Randy, J Roc, T, the Roc Pile, Corey and Trevor, Ray, Lucy, Sarah, Trinity, Jacob, and the villain Cyrus.

You get to later seasons.

Julian is self serving, no longer a hero with respect for other park members. He's just looking for a get-rich-quick scheme at any cost. Still not funny. So very unlikable.

Ricky loses a lot of his heart too.

Bubbles becomes whiny and constantly emotionally blackmailing his 'friends'.

The extended cast is mostly gone.

It makes it hard to watch.

Think about it

He was always the voice of reason trying to keep things from getting too chaotic

But years of Ricky and Julian’s schemes eventually take a toll on his mental health

Proof of this is showcased with conky

Met him at a cannabis expo last year he’s a really great dude. Wonder what this thing could be worth one day I will definitely have it framed soon.

Sometimes life is greasy boys, but there are a few moments that stick out as particularly low:

- Ray ripping the plumbing out of his walls for liquor money
- Ray waking up to be suffocated by garbage because he lives at the dump
- Lahey getting fired, rejected by Barb, dumped by Randy, having 49 drinks, and trying to kill Ricky all in one day
- Julian drunk on swish behind a King of Doner, dancing around with an ol’ dirty dog
- Ricky waking up to find that his whole family is in jail
- Trevor getting all tangled up in piss jugs and extension cords
- Randy getting high and failing to jump the cheeseburger in front of everyone
- Sam Losco getting fired from East Coast Paving, getting charged with DWI, and having $1800 in fines (and owing Phil Collins)
- Bubbles getting onions and mackerel burped on him while trying to revive Phil Collins

What am I missing here?

They need your suggestions for topics for the show.

I'm sure they will get a million, "Where's season 13/Bubbles/Smith?"

The suggestions will keep the show fresh or even going in general.

No dicks.

I love these subtle references, like taxi driver from season 2.

Julian smoking, drinking, and eating a banana while shaving in the mirror

Trying to track down a specific scene. I remember Julian in front of a mirror shaving, while also smoking, drinking, and eating a banana — think it's from one of the early seasons (1-3), but I could be wrong on that. Anyone know which episode this is from?

“Why don’t you go and rock and suck my robot cock right off my body, Randy.”

Everybody always making fun of the guy in the chair
