Liked it a lot
Got better as the show went on. Tuca became less insufferable, at least.
I liked how the show leads you to expect the younger pastry apprentice to go through the same shit Bertie does, but instead it flips the mirror on her. Infinitely more interesting and relevant as a result
Also Speckle is a bro, I'm glad things weren't completely resolved by the end with him and Bertie because that would've been some unrealistic bullshit
While some of its delivery is a little too close to the bombastic affectation of webcomics circa 2010, everything is so cleverly animated that it always manages to impress.
Not to mention that the dream logic of the whole thing (captions, onomatopeia thoughtbubbles becoming tangible objects, etc.) really sucks you in. Even in the early rough patches, when a character was doing something grating to me, I'd always have this begrudging respect for how well-animated said grating thing was.
Turned around on Speckle a bunch, myself. Figured he'd just be a clueless middleman in the main focus on Tuca & Bertie's chemistry, but they really did give him a voice by the end.
Plus the drawing of the house is my favorite bit of the season.
I really appreciated how they didn’t do the thing where a whacky thing happens and it’s solely meant as an aside meant as a colorful visual metaphor for how a character was feeling but not meant to be literally happening. But instead the whacky metaphorical thing would happen and a bunch of characters would directly acknowledge it and it became a part of the scene.
So instead of Bertie’s tit popping out and running away and Bertie then shaking her head until things go back to normal and a character asks “Bertie are you ok?”, we see Bertie’s tit pop out and walk away and Tuca says “Dang, Bertie, yo tit just popped out!” And for a good couple of scenes afterward Bertie has no left tit and other characters keep commenting on her empty boobhole.
That was refreshing.
The drawing of the house is probably in my top three for jokes from the show, but the part where the old lady became a kiosk definitely got the biggest laugh out of me.
I miss her...
LOLSORANDUMB ugly birds
if they're gonna be furries, at least you could draw them attractively right
even jg quintel managed that
It was OK. It trying to be dark in the second last episode was a massive miss for me.
It was like when karl pilkington tries to be serious, as he chats shit all day the few times he says something serious you can't take it seriously yourself.
>Bojack horseman featuring "ugh, men"
Annoying characters and humor most of the time but better visual gags and cartoon wackiness than bojack and better animation. Sick of mentally ill asshole main characters tho. Also Tuca is annoying as fuck.
So S2 Tuca just going to be about her being a lesbian?
What? She's already bi
>Tuca became less insufferable, at least.
Agreed. I enjoyed her character development, however little it was.
Womanchildren growing up is a good show, fuck what Yea Forums says
do you think when Berdie was molested by the swimming coach, her right boob jumped off her chest and was all "Jesus I need a drink after today"
In all honesty I quite liked it. The scene where Bertie and Speckle watch porn together gave me a laughing fit, which is really fucking rare.
I enjoyed it, liked Tuca more than I expected to
I thought the scene was going to go completely different at the title
"Two birds, one nest"
I kinda preferred the early half when it was more carefree gag a minute, but the second half wasn't terrible. I enjoyed the show and want to see more.
I hope the animation stays a big focus and I hope they don't accidentally make bojack 2: bird boogaloo out of the second season.
>ywn hug bertie
end me lads
>Im sorry she is blue!
>Dat spanking meltdown
>Peeping narrator
Episode 3 was a blast
It was super weird they actually had to put in not one, but TWO sexual harassment plots for the guys, but then a running gag on one of the episodes was a perverted woman peeping on the MC and she just gets to shrug it off at the end.
That aside it was just Family Guy with birds.
how the hell is it like family guy?
Because she doesnt actually DO anything beyond exist as a nature documentary joke
>That aside it was just Family Guy with birds.
Why do people keep saying this, it's nothing like Family guy
Luckily it’s nothing like family guy.
i made fanart
>Okay so we're going to take the sitcom setups that are standard and done a billion times before. You know "pretend to be sick" "Spice up the relationship" "First date woes', that stuff, root it in the sitcom setup.
>THEN we're going to make the world like ours with cities and apartments and pretty much everything working like the real world, just some differences meant for visual gags. Like a living chicken person.
>Then we throw in random sightgags that aren't technically happening because they get ignored and moved past even though they should mean something. I'm not talking just cutaways, have this crazy stuff happen during a conversation or something to punch it up. Like the mirrors alive and snarky, get it? It shouldn't make sense, its a joke.
>And our leads never learn any real lesson. They'll SAY they do and maybe do one scene where it looks like it, but they have to reset every time when its convenient.
I mean it's 1-1 Family Guy, just with a different sitcom. They stole the puppet flashback joke for gods sake. They have random cutaways even.
People saying its not like Family Guy are either trying their best not to see it, or just don't want to accept the show is the same.
I think it’s not that personal, it’s just hard to get anyone to watch the show and talk about it when you mention Family Guy. I’m not denying it’s strikingly similar in humor and setup, but you really don’t want to lead in with “its family guy, but one of the mismatched women tropes instead of nuclear family”, it’ll turn people off.
The over reliance on those events really sticks out by episode 3.
What do you even call that? When something I guess non-canon just happens in the middle of a conversation but the show then immediately cuts away and pretends it didn’t happen? It’s like a non-canon event in the middle of a show. You know like I’m American Dad when Tuttles suddenly has mini-Tuttles sing around him. That’s weird, doesn’t make sense, it clearly there for the sight gag then it’s just gone and nobody ever thinks of it again. What do you even call that?
Nice
Unironically lolsorandom.
It's the same thing Spongebob does.
It’s the Whacky BoJacky show.
Womanchildren need media that calls them out on their shit and tells them to get their lives together.
No, because she was twelve and her tits were probably only just budding. If they were so traumatized that they anthropomorphized themselves, they probably just sobbed like toddlers.
Unfortunately “it’s like family guy but with women” is probably a good pitch for a lot of my normie friends
In Shakespearian plays, they call it an “aside” when one character says a bunch of lines that the audience hears but the other characters that are standing right there do not. It’s kinda like an aside when cartoons do it, but often more visually than verbally.
I think when discussing Family Guy in particular a lot of people just say “cutaway gag,” even sometimes for instances when the scene does not actually cut away.
>ywn spank Bertie’s fat ass
That feeling when rape stops you enjoying something you clearly enjoy
I'm all for a second season. Hope it happens.
It's bad. Even for a modern adult cartoon it's bad. The one not awful part is the animation, which still isn't good but the quality of writing deserves stiff Canadian flash.
>AWW YEAAAA
>IMAGINARY FUCKINNN
That was my biggest laugh.
I love how the shame-mirror just doesn't work on the peeping Brit.
I also liked
>Tuca's snapping her gum and drumming in the car
>"Tuca, can you stop kicking my seat?"
>"Fine, but it's your fault for giving me gum"
>throws the gum out the window and a guy steps on it
>"Aww..."
>guy starts sadly drumming the beat
That’s a soliloquy.
But but I'm a good bird
>drummer guy ends up playing a concert to a big audience in the post-credits sequence, complete with slab of pavement he's stuck to
I need to go back and watch all the post-credits scenes, I didn't realize they were there until the last episode because of Netflix's auto-skip.
I didn't even see that!
Same here. Now I wonder what else I missed.
I turned that shit off ages ago. Won't spoil em but most of the post-credits scenes are funny little follow-ups to side characters and recurring gags
>a·side

> 1 a remark or passage in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play.
>Ex: “Shakespeare's use of asides and soliloquies"

>Ex: “Edmund ends the scene as he had begun it, with a soliloquy"
Huh. I think I’m still a lil hazy on exactly what the difference is, but it’s neat there’s the two of them.
She really is packin' it, huh? I'd like to squirt some mayo in those chicken nuggets
Post yfw they introduce Sandy R Piper in the first episode of season 2.
And it's the same gag.
I loved that it was just the life he was living with Bertie. For Speckle, he's already living his wildest fantasy... except Bertie isn't blue.
But the gag's already ruined if you see her again.
No, see... Sandy Q is never seen again.
Sandy R shows up once in season two and then never again.
I'm gonna go with the context of 'Bertie hates how good rape feels'.
..Dammit, I need to rewatch all the episodes.
Hey, that mirror company makes good business!
>one of the people Tuca fantasizes about is Speckle (pictured at the far right of the bed)
Who wants to bet this'll come up in a future episode?
Anyone notice that the show tries to cue you into what things Tuca does are supposed to be funny by having Bertie laugh? It's like a laugh track, but the character is the one telling you when to laugh instead of an audience. I only got one genuine laugh out of this show and if was when Bertie cried because she was a good girl.
