The perfect show for the jaded mind

This show is absolutely hilarious. It has so much subtle humor (as well as the out-and-out, wet-your-pants jokes) that I never got tired of watching. I got up at 5:00 in the morning once a week to see this show.

The perfectly mismatched friends (Quiet, nervous, conservative Gary and his dysfunctional, careless, completely irreverant buddy Mike) are the perfect characters to send on an everybuddy quest across the U.S.A. The "big-ass detour" (Mike) never ceases to amuse and Gary has all the goofy appeal of those characters that you have to have in a show about friends (like Chucky of Rugrats). Nothing is sacred on this show; everything is a possible target for their jabs. If nothing else, watch it for the animation. The fact that these characters who run as awkwardly as a scarecrow flapping in the wind that swear and drink are in the same class as Gumby just adds to the amusement.

If this show has not been cancelled (if there is any goodness in the universe, it MUST continue to run), you can't miss this hilarious Gumby meets Road Trip comedy.
