Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal

The first season ofPrimaldoesn’t have any dialogue, which may sound like a gimmick, but here it really works. Mostly because it’s set in prehistoric times where communication was limited, and actions really did speak louder than words.

It largely follows the unexpected bond between a Neanderthal man Spear and a female Tyrannosaurus rex named Fang, who fight off against an array of enemies including carnivorous dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, and more advanced homo sapiens who live in their world.

Royal Crackers

Dysfunctional families are the backbone of any good comedy, and this one definitely puts the fun in dysfunctional (yes, I know that was terrible). Here, the Hornsby family run Royal Crackers Incorporated, a once-popular snack food company. But when patriarch and CEO Theodore’s mind starts to slip, his two sons Stebe and Theo Junior are left to run the failing company.

Think of it likeSuccessiononly weirder and about saline crackers instead of a media conglomerate. There’s even a rival company for them to fight off and plenty of misadventures along the way, because it just wouldn’t be an Adult Swim series without those.

Metalocalypse

It may have ended in 2013 but if you haven’t heard of this gem, step to it! If you’re a metalhead and you like weird comedy, this show is for you as it’s all about the fictional death metal band Deathklok and the band members who frequently end up in fights, especially with their manager Charles Foster Offdensen.

As it happens, Offdensen has the hardest job in the world cleaning up after these people because they like to cause destruction wherever they go. And we’re not just talking about trashed hotel rooms and depleted mini bars, their concerts are so dangerous that attendees are forced to sign ‘pain waivers’. Rock on.

Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstaris the show’s finale 2023 movie and has a flawless 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s well worth a watch. You can check out the trailer for that above.
