Beavis and Butthead return Toiling from waiting for the next series of “The Big Bang Theory” came across this comedy series. A brief description promised a lot of fun hours, funny episodes from “Crazy Professor” and “Without Feelings” immediately surfaced in my head. The expectations were not quite met, but about it a little bit below.
The main characters, Peter and Ron, are grown-up Beavis and Butt-head, their interests are limited to sex and money. It is quite natural that they like the work in Testico, because the only thing they need is to take the drug, and then live an ordinary carefree life. Unfortunately, natural stupidity does not give them peace, so they always get into trouble. And here it is worth noting the main feature of the series - almost all jokes spin below the belt, a lot of frank blackness and vulgarity. I am humorous about such things, but here I have repeatedly asked myself the question: “Is this funny?” In this regard, the comedy is teetering on the edge - fans of "Beavis and Butthead" will be torn from wild rust, and the rest will be nauseous at times. I remember one of the reviews on a behind-the-scenes website, where an American admitted that he was crazy about this series, but could not watch it with his family, because he felt awkward.
Separately, it is worth noting as the actor of the creator of the “Experimental” Kenny Hotz. His character (Larry is obviously a hint of a well-known womanizer from computer games) turned out to be very colorful and memorable. Small scenes with him pretty much revived several series. Charismatic, damn it!
In general, it turned out to be an average series, attracting attention with an unused idea and specific humor. Subjects are strikingly different freshness from schoolchildren, students, doctors, office workers and other regulars of sitcoms. The Testees were nominated for a Canadian Emmy, though they never won. I have a double impression of The Experiments, but I recommend trying to watch at least a couple of episodes - it is likely that you will be crazy about these two jerks. If you do not like it, turn it off, you will not see anything interesting.
