Ehirerapp Waste of time
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
runamokprods An often very funny, absurdist take on the family sit-com. but in this case the lead is… well I guess an adolescent cat-headed space alien? His father is a self-obsessed, vaguely insane, quietly indolent diminutive Hispanic human, sort of Desi Arnez on acid (the funniest element of the show to me), and his mother the same strange 'thing' that Brak is. Not every joke works, but this is a very entertaining, surreal twist on every bad 'Leave It To Beaver' type family TV comedy. And for me it takes a big leap between season 1, which was funny and weird to seasons two and three where it attained almost Monty Python like levels of complete nonsensical, hysterically funny strangeness. In tossing out any attempt to make sense, and allowing all the rules go out the window, you end up with something you might have had if Dali and Bunuel had made a cartoon together as teenagers. (Note, I seem to be in the minority, most people prefer the earlier, lighter, less perverse version of the show).
Shawn Watson After loving Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law I decided to give other Adult Swim shows a try and I figured that The Brak Show would be equally as wacky and inventive. It's not.Brak has a really stupid and annoying voice and I can hardly figure out a word he says. The animation is cheap and tacky. And I hate the fact that his dad is a midget (an animation goof by the artists who thought it funny and kept it in). I didn't find it to be that way.In fact I hated almost everything about this boring show and I promptly sold the DVD a few days after buying it. I was deeply disappointed and I hope that other Adult Swim shows such as Space Ghost and Sealab 2021 are better.
plok253 I never thought I could get sick of Brak, my all time favorite cartoon character of all time (to quote Space Ghost). However, it lacks the unpredictability that you'd see on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Brak's one liners are severely weak in comparison to the unforgettable Cartoon Planet ones like "I'm not as dumb as I look...I'm dumber!" or "All those imaginary girlfriends were after me, buddy!" An even bigger let down, however, is that this show attempts at providing plots. Brak is much more suited in a show about nothing, in which we get to hear his nonsensical ramblings, cooking lessons, school day memories, and tales of suspense. What do we get with the Brak Show? Plots a 6 year old could think up with some added swearing. Brilliant. At least Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak had Grape Ape.In short, this show is about as relevant as the last couple seasons of the Simpsons. Not worth your time at all.
DanielJosLeary What can be said about the obscure, offbeat, incredibly funny, brilliant and hardly animated world of Brak? Just that it's Brak! The Brak Show(not to be confused with "Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak' which was used as supplementary material for Space Ghost Coast to Coast) is a fantastic new show with the same irreverent humor and catchy out-of-the-blue musical numbers any Brak fan can expect. The cast of characters including Brak's parents, Zorak and Thunderclese make it all fall together. 5 stars out of 5.
