To be honest, I was trying to avoid this show for a long time after hearing so many bad things about it. When I actually decided to watch it, I discovered that it was indeed a bad and stupid series, but surprisingly I didn't hate this as much as other reviewers.
Please, don't get me wrong: I don't like this show. It is just that I think that is slightly (just slightly) less bad that as I was expecting. That being said, is easy to see why "Uncle Grandpa" gets so much hate: Most of the characters are dumb and annoying, their designs (except for one or two) are ugly and unappealing, the jokes feel forced (and aren't very funny)
If anything, this cartoon seems like a cheap attempt to imitate other animated series like "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show", but it seems that the creators of "Uncle Grandpa" failed to realize one thing: "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show" are successful not for being "weird" or "random". They are successful for having fun and likable characters, interesting stories that despite containing several fantastic elements are still relatable with their audience. Those two shows are also able to handle a certain level of subtlety, something which "Uncle Grandpa" lacks completely, consisting of a mere succession of "wacky" stuff happening for no reason.
And that is the biggest problem of "Uncle Grandpa": It seems more focused on being strange and atypical, rather than in being funny or at least interesting.
Personally, I'm completely indifferent to this series, and I wouldn't mind if it is canceled from one moment to another (That seems its eventual fate anyway)
1/10
