User Reviews

One of the classic Adult Swim cartoons. Fantastic!

It's a show I really didn't get when I was growing up. But as an adult yum yum.

A bloody good laugh! Absurd and kind of adult humor.

Remember those old cartoons you used to watch? This is what happens to them when they stop rolling. Funny.

Some jokes haven’t aged well. Regardless, Harvey Birdman comes at you a mile a minute and if you keep up, you’ll be in stitches.

One of the best cartoons I've ever seen. Super fast paced with so many inside jokes and callbacks. Talented voice cast and great characters.

It’s great to be able to just turn off your brain and stare at the tv for a bit without thinking. This does it for me.

I remember it fondly although I was severely depressed at the time

Mediocre but has few nostalgic characters. Hong Kong phooey etc…

Holds up as being one of the smartest and funniest surreal & self-referential cartoons, works just as well now as it did in the early 00’s.

The Whitest Kids U' Know

A multi-national scientific station with an annual budget in the trillions, manned by a motley collection of malcontents and screw-ups who were unfit for work in the private sector. They really don't get any research done, but instead spend their time bickering among themselves or just plain goofing off.
