Uncle Grandpa takes a bit to get used to, but if Salvador Dali made a cartoon it would look like this. I think the comments on the show are almost as funny as the show, because it appears people are looking for something more linear and structured, and guess what? This isn't that sort of show, it's just a free for all. And poor Mr Gus, and egotistical Pizza Steve, and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger - all great characters, all great fun.You actually don't know what to expect - like the episode where UG becomes the tire of his RV, or when Mr. Gus saves the crew because of his ridiculous pair of "jorts". Long live Uncle Grandpa, the trippiest show out there.
I understand how so many people find Uncle Grandpa hard to watch or find it too trippy and hallucinogenic to stomach. But if you know the history of animation and enjoy surrealism, Uncle Grandpa is a BLAST!
Golden Age animator Tex Avery once said, "If you can do it in real life, it isn't animation." Uncle Grandpa embraces that philosophy and runs with it. Every animation gimmick you've ever seen appears at one time or another. Stuff out of the frame (including body parts) cease to exist, perspective gags galore, selective gravity, photo cut-outs, sight gags, visual puns, internet memes, breaking the 4th wall... Don't even try to keep a list, there are too many.
My only complaint about Uncle Grandpa is that sometimes it's a little too NORMAL. I can get normalcy any day without turning on the TV.

I love the surreal humor and wacky characters! My favorite parts are when Uncle grandpa does physically impossible stuff but no one says anything about it. He's like a demi god or an SCP and this show is highly amusing.
Hey Guys RegularShow1 here and today I'm reviewing a show that been on Cartoon Network for almost 2 years called "Uncle Grandpa". This show is OK I known a lot of people hate this show because it weird . The show is also created by Pete Browngardt who also created "Secret Mountain Fort Awesome". The show is about a magical man named "Uncle Grandpa" who is everybody's Uncle and Grandpa. The other characters are "Pizza Steve" who is a talking pizza slice. Then their "Mr. Gus" who is a fire breathing green dinosaur who is the voice of reason. The show premiered on Monday, September 2,2013. Anyway I think "Uncle Grandpa" is OK show but it's not as good "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show" but it's better then "The Problem Solverz" which that show sucks. Anyway I'm giving "Uncle Grandpa" a 8 out 10 Stars. Anyway guys I'm RegularShow1 and have a Nice Day. BYE.
(Note: First actual review on site) Uncle Grandpa. A name that is so familiar to many Cartoon Network viewers. A show that utilizes surreal humour for laughs. Why does it get so much hate? People have been saying that the show is bad and it isn't such a gem. But, I would like to give insight as to why people will like UG. First, comedy. This is where I feel that the show is average, because although some people might like it, the humour is really hit or miss for me. I think that the episodes' and thus the show's strongest points are its good messages. Each episode (after Season 1) always leaves a good taste in my mouth due to its viewpoint on society and its surprisingly good (in my opinion) social commentary. Speaking of Season 1, this is where the episodes were abysmal, and that the characters were nothing but jerks and stereotypes. Which leads to my fourth point, that people really should stop hating on it, all because they watched S1E1 'Belly Bros' which most UG fans I think would agree is not a very fleshed out episode. But I feel personally that UG has come a long way. So any future people who watch uncle grandpa on your own terms, watch at least Season 2 or 3. Season 1 episodes do not feel well thought out and are half baked. Thus, I give UG a 7/10 for being weird yet relatable and improving over the course of 4-ish years.
