c-33198 The sad thing is, this still isn't the absolute worst show I've ever seen. This is still repulsive, though. This is EASILY among the worst garbage Cartoon Network ever pumped out. (Before you say anything, Adult Swim IS a programming block on Cartoon Network, making it's original shows Cartoon Network shows as well.)First, THE ANIMATION. Good god, why? I think they used Microsoft Paint for it, it's THAT horrendous. And the voice acting... had even less effort put into it, if that is even possible. I mean, it sounds like the people are drunk off their a$$! (Wait, they probably are).However, I also will look underneath that surface and at the story. Still crud. The humor.... is anti-humor at BEST. Like the office scene in the pilot. The joke was the ticking clock, which made no sense.And the big issue besides the animation... why does it exist? It's humor fails to be... anything, really. From the voice to the animation to the "humor" (there are big awkward silences too, like they expect this awkward dialogue to bring any reaction from fans), I don't understand WHY this bile is good in the slightest.In the end, I appreciate the story, but EVERYTHING else in the show is trash.It's sad. If this garbage was made on the internet, people would pan it. Since it's official, though, people claim it's deep... why....EDIT:Increased rating from 2 stars to 3.5 stars.

bob the moo adult swim is a very strange stable at times. All the cartoons seem to be aimed at the same audience and as such are mostly all based on a surreal style of humour. Some of the work brilliantly (and in my opinion ATHF is the best) and others don't. Some feel like they are deliberately forcing the surrealistic aspect at the expense of everything else and at first glance it appears that 12 oz. Mouse is doing nothing but trying to alienate the audience and seeking out those who will embrace anything that is weird or difficult because, somehow, they think it makes them smarter than others.I am not getting at everyone who loves this show but I do suspect that there are a few out there who like this simply because it is very difficult to get into. Personally I find it intriguing and I quite enjoy watching it because I am not totally sure what it is doing or trying to do. The plot basically revolves around an alcoholic mouse and the many unusual and suspicious characters that are around him and it is sort of told in the quick-talking, shady character populated style of 1950's crime noir. And for my money it is this effective atmosphere that made me keep watching even though I didn't really understand what was going on. The problem with it is that this only took me so far and eventually the novelty of the cool, guarded style and characters started to wear off, making it a bit more hard work that it really needs to be.And it is this point where I started to struggle because at one point I didn't notice that it was hard work and impenetrable stuff but then gradually I started to enjoy it less and less as it became harder work for less reward as I already knew what it was doing. The animation is cheap and crude but to me that does make for its appeal while the manner of delivery isn't so much "messy" as some have said but for me suitably referential. Overall though it is too hard to get into and, while I don't know if this is deliberate or not, it certainly doesn't welcome its audience with open arms. Impenetrable, scatological and cheaply animated – it has its charms but beyond that it will appeal to a limited audience.

thetest220 Some people do not understand the finer points of 12 Oz. Mouse. A lot of the humor is in the delivery and is quite intangible. Some people, like Mr. Fun over there, do not see the humor in the show. Those people are not the "life of the party" and are not "enjoyable". The show is ridiculous, knows that it is ridiculous and has fun with it.This 10 line minimum makes me furious.The show is still good.I'm getting bored.Finally, minimum amount of lines achieved.I'm going to now go have 12 beers.

Julio Perez Shows like this don't come along often enough. Its so offbeat and irrelevant that you will either hate it or love it. Chronicling the adventures of Fitz the drunken, belligerent, shiftless mouse and his trusty friend Skillet (who appears to be a chinchilla), 12 Oz Mouse manages to make the most nonsensical situations into comedic gold. You never know what to expect from Fitz. The episodes have no clear cut storyline or destination. At any given time he can go from an in depth discussion about corndog farming into a 4 minute shootout with an unknown enemy. This could be followed up by a 2 minute drum solo by Skillet if need be. The only tie between any two episodes is the constant search for alcohol and the conspiracy theory surrounding Fitz and the possible kidnapping of his family. If you're looking for a show with beginning, middle and end, this ain't it. But if you're looking for punchline-less laughs, 12 Oz is where you'll find em. This is the most addictive show to hit Adult Swim since Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The crude animation style and slow pace make it a perfect compliment to the sharp design and quick delivery of ATHF. Hopefully OzMo will remain a staple of the Adult Swim lineup.
