MONKEY DUST - The Greatest Dark Comedy Ever Drawn | Cynical Reviews

Remember folks: Don't stray off the path...

This was a passion project of mine, a video I wanted to make for a long time. Although it took me a while to get around to it, I had a lot of fun with it and I'm very proud of it, and I hope you all enjoy it too!

it was genius!!

I loved Monkey Dust....classic

absolutely amazing animation and story telling.

You BASTARD. I watched this and got more and more hopeful, and then you come in with "also, a bunch of the music got stripped from the first season, and the others aren't released at all." What am I supposed to do with this?!

Watched it on BBc3..trust the crap terrorism done it in

I'll say one thing for the BBC

Monkey Dust is the sort of strange and challenging thing that could only be made by a public broadcaster. Or at least, only by a platform that doesn't need advertisers.

I would recommend checking out some online comics like "oglaf", which occasionally has some of the same themes and ideas, although its significantly more sexual in nature, its quite cutting in places. Cyanide and Happiness also picks off some of the darkness in its own content.

I showed the series to my 18 year old nephew... he absolutely laughed his a**e off, Afterwards when he calmed down he reflected on the fact that it was humour and ridiculing dark subjects gave him a different perspective on a lot of things....the Emperors new clothes

At least it's better than Meatcanyon.

Shaun Pye will be recognisable to anyone who watched Extras

Brilliant documentary. For me Monkey Dust was the second half of a double negative. Was depressed at the time of its airing 20 years ago but it was the only thing that kept me positive. Glad they didn’t rerun it.

This show is just incredible

This looks lie it would be best at home at Adult Swim honestly

mediocre review, leaves me pondering if i should piss at this pole myself sometime...

Honestly , idky this show reminds me of Mr. Pickle.

All I can say is ditto, I love monkey dust

it's not that dark

i wouldn't say spitting image is outdated. it's still funny, despite it being of its time. and a lot of the jokes still stick. mainly because we are still reeling from thatcherism.

but anyways, i'm glad this show was capable of making edgy humour without being overtly derogatory towards minorities. thats humour.

An amazing show.

I thought ‘aaargh! It’s the mr hell show’ was a bit of a precursor to this. But this was the pinnacle.

I saw it on it's original run when I was a teenager and still haven't found anything that surpasses the genius of Monkey dust.

Do a review of mister pickles!

"Jam" by Brass Eye creator Chris Morris

Monkey Dust was superb.

Those old girls doing the dial up tone tho 😂

The dail up noise made me feel old

Is this the show that had an old woman crying at a funeral and the priest goes ape shit and shouts at her

Yeah count dankula being arrested for a spicy joke is ridiculous

Early 2000's were amazing.. this reminds me of Adult Swim's beginning line-up: Sea Lab, ATHF, Robot Chicken, Home Movies, etc.. the deep cuts baby

Monkey Dust was a work of absolute genius! You can see it today in the works of MeatCanyon and other great animators still churning out dark material like this. Nothing holds a candle to Monkey Dust though.

Wondershowzen.

Fantastic show

Do people seriously think this is funny? Even in 2003 these jokes are like.........shit you gotta think past before opening your mouth. Whats going on in bong land? What are they joking about now??

Monkey Dust is so full of disconcerting truths that is often difficult to laugh. A work of art, no doubt

- MISTA HOPEE! 🙈

I’d say Xavier renegade angel is pretty similar but even more funny

A brilliant show.

Back when the BBC was good and comedy was funny

Loved this show 😅.

I have all three seasons on my hardrive, downloaded from piratebay some years ago.

The shit James Gunn said wasn’t jokes, it was just gross ass statements. Trying too hard to be edgy yet he’s more suited for guardians of the galaxy simple pg gags.
Don’t even know how the fuck anyone can pass that shit of as an intention to stir up laughter.

I think you said it best, it's the extreme version of British humor that laughs at itself because of the grim reality of everything.

I fucking love it.

Where to watch

<3 Monkey Dust
Languishing on my storage disks..

I mean im puerto rican so i guess i just dont get it
not for me

I'm Kellayyy, I'm on work experience

Similar show- shivering truth

This is one of the best shows ever made they should have brought it to the states it would have been so popular. You would like all the work of PFFR & unsupervised is great & probably under your radar
