Don't pretend this show is smart.

I don't consider myself a normal audience member- which is why this show appeals to me so much. Many say this show is a social commentary, with vast amounts of insight into modern narcissistic tendencies- or even worse, a satire on religion. This is far from the point- which is, there is no point. if anything, it is a satire of those who look to unqualified & insignificant objects like TV shows for this level of meaning. Yes, narcissism, religion, and the savior complex are common themes throughout the show, but they are only used as elements of Xaviar's character, not as the subject of some message the show wants to spread. Those who consider this show to be "insightful" are the same ones who consider Rick and Morty to be an atheist bible. Now that I've gotten past what the show isn't, let me say what the show is. It is an experiment of maintaining the audience's understanding of a character in the midst of an illogical and surreal plot line. This show finds its success in creating a humorous 10 minute screening while bombarding the viewer with malapropism, graphic PS2-esque animations, and a fading of the lines between spirituality and sexuality. If you want an original show that will never let you predict what will happen within the next 6 seconds, this is the show. If you want a show that is insightful and thought provoking, you are exactly what this show intends to satire. If you want a show that isn't surreal and nonsensical, you probably wouldn't be reading this.

score 9/10
