Also Alice is a cute
damn straight
it's weird to me how many people didn't know about the show, and thought he was just a random guest character or a real person being satirized. It's one hell of a perfect comedy, Maurice LaMarche is in top form.
nice nose
she needs more art
too bad the show is obscure now
filled with country goodness and green pea-ness
Almost as hot as Jay’s Adopted mom.
>Your skin is so smooth, what's your secret?
>I scrrrub my face vigorously with a steel wool pad, then I stick my face in boiling water for 2 minutes exactly
>Really?..
>Then I take the broth, add carrots and seasonings, and serve it to the boys in the boathouse
>HAG FACE SOUP, ARRR
If this was intended to reduce my boner, I’m afraid it’s had the opposite effect.
WHERE IS MY ALICE ART
>TAKE THAT, Birth of Man!
That’s all I got.
Yeah but it’s hard to find good fanart of her.
Great taste
Shame she and Jay never got to 4th base before it ended.

Margo is waifu
just gonna leave this here
Quick question, Cinemaphile: Can penguins fly?
not if they've been drinking
> >Son what women admire most in a man is persistence.
>No matter what, don’t give up!
Amen Jay
isn't that what they hate though? especially now, when any interest is perceived as assault?
you've got to act aloof and uninterested, and wait for the GIRL to show persistence.
This series and Duckman were so good, is a shame most people have forgotten about them
Character design was top notch.
Huh never thought about what that actually means
it's also a rare case of executive meddling being totally on point (until they just tossed the show in the garbage after blowing a ton on promoting it for a season)
fox's change-ups to the art and the overall tone were a big improvement. Jay was still a sadsack, but less depressingly, more cute.
I wish I didn't want the webisodes. Jay and Alice breaking up and most of the supporting cast being gone ruined it
that was just a bad dream, anon
today Jay and Alice are enjoying the high life, getting ready to attend Marty and Penny's wedding. Jay has an incredibly lucrative web show with six different meal-plan sponsorships, and Alice is a production manager on Broadway.
I'm afraid Doris didn't make it, though. And Duke finally died of Duke Phillips disease after buying out the pharmaceutical company that makes Jay's Oil and jacking up the price so high even he couldn't get any.
>Grandma Grampa, I’m glad you were both still here to see me get married.
>Oh Marty my child hush, I refuse to die before your father and help promote his life style of watching movies.
>Mother I’m a critic you’ve been on my show I was very successful.
>Now now hush son, we’ve aged like a fine run why this rum. Pfft wait that’s hawian punch.
>Dad that wine.
>Really? Next you’ll tell me we’re at a wedding coo coo!
Franklin was the best character.
he was fricking tops.
>I didn't ask to be named Secretary of Balloondoggies, the balloondoggies DEMANDED it!!
Hoo??!
>My wife, Elanor!
Hoo
>My wife, Elanor!
Hoo
>my wife, Elanor!
AS THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE HEAD OF THE KU KLUX KLAN I'D LIKE TO SAY AMERICA STINKS
I wonder if Jay got his penchant for saying things stink from his dad.
I remember watching this first time, and it felt like watching new, old episodes of The Simpsons.
Bad comparison. It’s more like early season family guy especially with all the movie parodies except here it makes sense since he’s a movie critic.
I think there's kind of a spectrum. The critic, early simpsons, early family guy, early johnny bravo, phineas and ferb, all of those guys are gonna kinda remind you of each other due to similar people working on them, with similar tastes
what I find interesting about The Critic is they never even TRIED to be grounded and realistic, like Simpsons did originally. It was utterly surreal right from the start. Not just weird impossible shit happening, but movies that would -never- exist. Unlike McBain etc where it's an exaggeration of reality. It gives the series the perfect parodic tone, so you know you should never take it seriously right from the start. No need for a Frank Grimes here.
In a good timeline this woulda got 2 more seasons, duckman woulda got 1 more to wrap up what happened to his wife, dilbert woulda gotten 1 or 2 more, and they'd still be on in reruns on comedy central.
I miss 2004.
I once made one of my cousins watch an episode of The Critic with me (the “Fat Little Pig” one). He said it wasn’t funny, but more like “thought-provoking.” Then he put on The Simpsons (the Rear Window parody) and laughed his ass off.
Your cousin is pretty hip.
I have to admit, the fat little pig episode wasn't nearly as funny as others, it was more about Jay schlubbing his way through life and having trouble with his mom. But to not find it funny at all would be kind of extreme.
It has a great line
>>fat little pig! Fat little pig!
>hey, I’m not the guy from the book!
>>what book?
at that time, that joke hadn't been run into the ground yet lol
