Okay, I know Rick and Morty came out 7 years after this one, but I still find it epic and awesome. This was Aaron Springer's well-known creation before Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer on Disney XD, which I will admit, is not as fun to watch as this one, but I still love it either way. But THIS is admittedly Aaron Springer's best creation yet. Yes, he hasn't worked on Rick and Morty, but I would imagine IF he did. Heck, he even worked on Samurai Jack before this. Speaking of which, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory and Adult Swim's now owned Samurai Jack, directed the animation for this. Yes, he also produced and directed Springer's other rejected Cartoon Network pilot: Periwinkle Around the World, which also is good, but this one is awesome. It's too bad that the show was not green lit due to incredibly high budgets, and yet Adult Swim green lit Superjail!, Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job, and Xavier Renegade Angel??!! ARE THEY NUTS??!! Oh well, I still find Korgoth of Barbaria to be very awesome. Plus the voice of Hoss Delgado is in this show, which is awesome.

This 23-minute short film was written and directed by Aaron Springer, one of the driving forces behind Spongebob Squarepants, back in 2006. It got never picked up for its own show, but has constantly risen in popularity since then. It's a good piece of adult animation centering on a massive male fighter named Korgoth who just wants to have a drink at the pub, but is tricked into a trap when offered a huge meal with an old acquaintance. The meal contained a stomach virus and, in order to be given the antidote, Korgoth has to go to a supposedly dead magician's castle and steal a golden goblin statue for his acquaintance. So he does and we get to follow him on his journey, which is packed with obscenities, graphic violence, murder and, of course, large-breasted damsels in distress wearing almost nothing.All in all, it's a pretty good half hour of comedy and animation. I'm not too tempted to watch it again anytime soon, but i'd definitely be willing to give a show centering on Korgoth a fair chance. Maybe the better idea may even be a feature film. I'm sure there's lots of adventures that could be written for the hero. Recommended, but definitely not for children or the easily-offended.

Another wonderful piece of work from the brains behind Spongebob Squarepants,although don't be fooled by who made it,this isn't your little kids cartoon,while this is drawn by Genndy Tartakovski (from Rugrats,and various others) it has a very big feel along the same lines as Heavy Metal (not 2000)with the nitty gritty animation,metal soundtrack,and violence galore!though the pilot's just getting around now,I think this show could be another hit for Cartoon Networks Adult Swim lineup!although the title may suggest that this is a Midievil based cartoon series,that's actually an incorrect statement,as the story actually takes place years in the future,in a very bleak future where it seems as though all the worlds cities and structures have crumbled,forcing people to "regress" to an earlier time frame,this being why it seems so medieval.though somethings apparently still carry over to this time frame (ie-Bubblegum wrapped up like Juicy Fruit gum) and some other things that i can't think of at the moment,just watch it and see for yourself.

This show is awesome I just wanted to get that out there before i went over it. The show makes fun of barbarians and stuff like that, the over the top violence in this show makes it absolutely hilarious. The fight scenes in this remind me of my 11th grade honors English class when me and my friends would talk about fight scenes that would be awesome. This show is very funny and i hope it does well in the future. The show deserves to be on Adult Swim, and it fits in nicely, so i think you should go out and watch it.OH i almost forgot, one liners in this show are killer, as well as the creatures he fights. Check it out you won't regret it
