The Goode Family
(2009)

It's not terrible, no King of the Hill though.
Satirically making fun of the far left. Not in anyway that's too tasteless. I'd say the characters are a bit over the top, it needed more time to lush itself out. The comedy is just far too obvious at times. Unlike King of the Hill the characters are sort of two dimensional. When you lean this far into the satirical side it just feels like a takedown. The characters just aren't very likable as a whole. The main characters feel more like they should be over the top side characters. It's almost the opposite of King of the Hill, but if King of the Hill was only Dale. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you feel like throwing some background thing on go for it.

The Paloni Show! Halloween Special!
(2022)

People were looking for Rick and Morty, but it felt like psychicpebbles
It really is just old YouTube, you can really see Zach's influence. It honestly doesn't work that well with the Rick and Morty writers that well. It would have better if it was just Zach. Them together gives off like an odd David Lynch esque slapstick comedy. I wouldn't watch it if you're over 30, most of the jokes are anti humor and are carried by the obscure dialogue on top of the obscene situations.

This review does require me to type more. I feel like I typed enough. I don't really have anything else to say. I said what I needed to say. I haven't had a character constraint since highschool.

Osama Game
(2017)

It's not great, I'll give a few suggestions if you're looking for something like this
Anime that do it better: Future Diary Darwin's game (more of an action one, but same premise) Danganronpa:if you haven't played the game this one is worth a watch. If you have them the game has more detail, I find games like it so boring though.

Tomodachi Game.

I looked into the manga a lot because the anime is kind of all over the place. Didn't read the manga, just synopsis of all of them. So there's like 4 different mangas all following the same plot, no real character development, and since the main character has already played before the level of suspense that these types of anime usually supply is gone. There's a lot more of these that are better. It's also unnecessarily perverted, I guess in like the 3rd manga they explain it as "The King is a Pervert" but I'd say half the tasks are forcing some girl to sleep with some guy, or some girl will use sex for leverage, or it'll force a guy to grope her. They're all high schoolers too, I know that's not a surprise for anime really. But I find it tremendously uncomfortable. Also everyone but the main characters have no individual thought process. It seems like it's just the person that the episode is following and the main character have any persuasion, everyone is just really dumb.

Sabikui Bisco
(2022)

VERY UNDERRATED
The creatures and plot are so odd, but they play it off so normally that most of these wild things don't even make an impact on the characters. So it kinda lets you just immerse in this odd world they've created. It's also dystopian, but more from the viewpoint of people abusing capitalism rather than extreme communism.

The characters grow rapidly, but in a natural way. It immediately starts off in a rush, so even the lulls have a suspense. For some reason to me it also feels like Cowboy Bebop and Desert Punk.

Reservation Dogs
(2021)

It's shot really well, but sort of dull
Every person is really deadpan. The jokes are fairly basic and predictable for something Taika made. Every scene feels pretty much the same, if they're stealing a truck, or talking to their mom. It's the same delivery.

Shûmatsu no Valkyrie
(2021)

Don't listen to the people pretending it's not drawn out
The story is almost cool, but you have to hear it from 3 different perspectives. 90% of the fight scenes are reactions and you waiting to see what happened. After they give you a glimpse of what they just explained they turn it to some confused god that's going to explain it from his perspective. Like Thor's hammer broke and the Valkyrie at the event explained that her sister used their body to make a weapon. Then it passes it over to Zues, so he can epassen that the Valkyries turned their bodies into weapons.
