Axe Cop

The brilliance is precisely a function of its incongruity.

It's probably one of the most original ideas television has produced in years. The reason? It's so quirky, it zags where others would zig. It also has that loopy sensibility that comes from a vivid imagination.

[Axe Cop emerges] as a wacked-out, irreverent hoot, full of colorful absurdities.

Of course it's childish, but in a good way as it effectively taps into the kid in everyone, much as "South Park" does. It both celebrates and gently spoofs the traditions of superhero comics.

It’s a nonsensical but inventive and purely entertaining takeoff on superhero tales.

It is almost unbearable sober. If I have to watch a cartoon featuring a bad guy made of zombie poop named Dr. Doodoo 16 years after South Park debuted Mr. Hankey, the Christmas poo, I need to have whatever the dudes from Yo Gabba Gabba! are on.
