One day I will sit down to write a thorough review but, for now, hear this:
Maniac is one of the best series to have ever been made, and it's cult following will come to it in due time. It is heartfelt and heart-wrenching; it is mesmerizing and enchanting; it is empathetic and thoughtful in every regard. The creators put so much love into every tiny detail of this show and, believe me, you catch something new with every single re-watch. This is the only piece of media I refuse to hear any other word about.
Take your time to fall in love with this short series, and it will reward you.
My god this episode is surprisingly genuinely sad
This episode on: Stan punches me in the heart.
"GETTING RID OF TOOTH DECAY IS WHAT I'M TRYNA F*CKIN' DO!!"
Say what you want about Georgia Madchen and Doctor Suctliffe. Say what you want about the human cello and the totem pole. Yeah, future mutilations and characters are horrifying, too, but damn Will as Gideon in the back of the van is another level of terrifying.
They must've "gotten a little high" to come up with this one.
When I first saw it, this episode was almost my breaking point. A lot of moments in Mr. Robot have hit too close to home, but this was one moment stretched out over an entire episode and I almost said I couldn't do it. Take your time and wait it out.
Make it to the end. This episode is now a safe haven I return to when I need it. Have patience in yourself.
The counter is icing on the cake.
Stan: "What? You're gonna miss them saying 'shit' on tv!"
Kyle: "I don't really give a fuck!"
If you hate Terrance and Phillip, skip this episode. You won't miss a thing. Just as the Trakt description reads, it really isn't a continuation from the last season's cliffhanger.
"Screw you guys, I am king lesbian!"
Really mad about how Elsa goes out of her way to try and trigger her own son? I don't really understand why that was a point to be made through her so much as it was; if it is/was a matter of "I am scared of my son leaving me when he eventually moves out and moves on from the family," then it should have been made more clear, this reasoning I have is only a hunch in the first place.
Genuinely such a good episode. Love the Hallmark ending (with a MITM twist, of course :))
Finally Lois has a real reason to be p!ssed off.
Love the return of the Gay Fish :)
The Butters/Kenny/Jimmy bit is so damn funny
I prematurely started to write a comment on "oh, despite how much i hate cartman, i also hate seeing him cry!" Don't be fooled! Oh, how far he will go.
Such a great episode, the lack of real ending rules.
This one's hard to watch for a lot of reasons.
'Somethin' really sweet about Cartman rescuing a bunch of cats. I didn't think this episode would be up my alley, but it rules.
This is actually what it feels like to play Guitar Hero.
Despite how dumb this episode is I couldn't stop laughing through it good god
"Can I just have some Spaghetti-Os?!"
One of the best, an absolute favourite. Truly just kids being kids and folks jumping the gun.
As someone who used to do animation, the tape burning in the projector broke my damn heart.
"Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer...!"
"You wanna make a dollar, Billy?"
"My name's Stan!"
"Do you wanna make a dollar or not?!"
"I'm not gonna kill you, grandpa."
"Well, why not?!"
"'Cause I'll get in trouble!"
Genuinely adore that none of the character conflicts get resolved in this episode. Not a one.
Just when you think Butters has had it rough, something else stacks onto his shoulders
in my favourites because i absolutely adore mysterion
edit: NOTHING is preparing you for that ending. Nothing!
Despite being a classic, this episode doesn't really go anywhere. Still a cute one, though.
