Located in the south somewhere in the not too close future, “Oh my God … Yes!” – Subtitled not without reason “an extremely relatable series of circumstances”- is the series of animated action by diabolical Afro-futurist that you did not know. It will be presented with two episodes on Sunday Adult swimmingHouse of the strange and sometimes, but not always, offensive.
Created by Adele “Supreme” Williams (“My Dad the Bounty Hunter”), It Takes the “Girlfriends in the City” Premise and Adds Humanoid Robots, Anthropomorphic Animals and Gayliens (That's “Gay Aliens,” Their Preferred Term) to the cast, and Spices up the action Violence, Satanists, A Teeth-Pulling Game Show Host and Robots that on the basis of a glitchy video are determined to fulfill a prophecy of “the late rapper, who has become martyr, who, for any reason, we would venerate as God, Tupic (sic)”, who, according to them, asked them to eat the rich. (The sound Keith David plays their leader.)
Sunny (Williams), Tulip (Dominque Perry) and Ladi (Xosha Roquemore, tamra de “The Mindy project”) are our ordinary heroines, built on superhero frames (with a touch of Bluth donationto my eye). Without much effort, they could be found vaguely similar to the girls of Powpuff: tulip, bubbles, sweet, childish, data to adjustments; The pistol, the buttercup, more than ready for a fight; And Sunny (an “influencer noted”), the flower, if the flower was less competent and more interested in money, and if they had not come out to save the world, but only themselves – although the latter, they could do the first. (And if they drank.)
Each episode lasts 11 minutes, the classic length of the old theatrical shorts of Popeye and Bugs Bunny and Road Runner – brief enough not to exhaust an idea, long enough to express one, but timed to keep the gags to come quickly. And like these shorts, in which the characters were continuously struck, flattened, fired, exploded, running and others, “oh my god” plunges into “cartoon violence”, if it is more graphic and disturbing in execution. Sex is not new in animation either if you know your Garred Betty Boop or Tex Avery Wolf in the language; This kind of thing is also more explicitly expressed everywhere in pop culture these days, as it is here. You know your tolerance for one or the other, and no shame if it is weak.
The series is very in the style of the adult swimming house, where the extraordinary is agitated with the extraordinarily banal, returning “Space Ghost Coast to Coast”, “,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “Harvey Birdman, lawyer in law”, towards “Metalocalypse » and “The Venture Bros.” And “Lazor Wulf” (A kind of cousin more Slaby to “Oh my God”). A line like, “the inhabitants of South Central will never kiss your antichrist”, perfectly captures this aesthetic – you could even call it a philosophy. It is certainly inspiring in its own way.
Because beyond such concepts as president-distributor (feels in a timely manner), a spider “fervent idealist fervent of eating” (is it an acronymic reference to the band of Swedish neo-soul, it seems improbable, but not impossible.), A boyfriend of Push Bargain, the series is based on relations and feelings (somewhat extreme). Friendship, family, love, sorrow, self -acceptance – these concerns make it real, not only really strange.
