I find it kinda funny how in the first episode, Reagan despises Brett while everyone else likes him but after a few episodes, she's probably the only person that genuinely likes him while everyone else is annoyed by him or only tolerates him for superficial stuff like his looks
( i may be missremembering ) that may be because most of the cast are shallow jerkasses while Randy got a lot of character development through her interaction with Brett
@@y0toni He's always been in therapy we find out early as in episode 3? I wanna say is the lizard one, I love his character Sexy ginger himbos are my weakness. I'm glad he's in therapy though it's nice to see that normalized and not treated as him being completely mentally unstable.
I’m glad robotus wasn’t just used in the 1st episode and last episode, but is an active character throughout the show. Also the FRIENDS running gag is still funny
Agreed. I oddly like the gag alot because I've never watched friends. And how robotus acts reminds me ALOT of how I see other people obsess over the show lmao.
I went into it knowing of the “adult animation curse” of everything being about sex and murder and that being “funny” but I loved Inside Job, it was so smart and I loved and rooted for every character, apart from Rand, because fuck that guy. Everyone is so well written and funny, using jokes that aren’t centred on sex all the time. It has quickly become my favourite tv show recently
When I saw the video's title, I was like "huh, inside Job isn't adult animation" Only noticed that I had that reaction because the term "adult animation" for me had been so poisoned by unfunny "comedies" that just are about gross out jokes and sex jokes repeated ad nauseam with one-dimensional characters that I had started calling good animation not made for kids just "animated comedies".
@@TehPesky I concur, in my opinion 'close enough' is a good way to execute adult animation, due to the subjects in these shows just seem to "highlighted" while with "close enough" drugs aren't the punchline because it's not that big of a deal, cuz it's normal, I probably explained my point wrong tho
Reagan's dad is like a reverse Doofenshmirtz. It's really interesting how his relationship with Reagan parallels/contrasts with Doof and Vanessa but no spoilers
just to answer the "why wasnt rand neutralized" question, in a later episode jr says that they cant kill him because he has too large of a share in the company that would revert to his ex wife if he were to die.
Rand is horrible, drunk and abusive, but he isn’t a complete moron. When he wants to, he can make things happen. The lengths he’s later revealed to have gone to for his long term goals, he was always going to have a contingency in case he was kicked out of Cognito Inc.
This show is also well researched. It tackled mental illnesses better than half the other animations that try to tackle the issue in a serious manner. In regards to Adult Animations, highly recommend F is for Family. It’s one of my all time favorites on Netflix
True. I feel like they did a great job of that with Brett especially, like the more you learn about him the more you realize that his "happy go lucky" facade is actually a mask he created because of his own anxiety and neglect from his family, which caused him to have a persistent need to be liked. It also makes a lot more sense looking back on some of the older episodes, when one of the episodes revealed that he's seeing a therapist.
I've heard F is for Family is pretty good, only reason I haven't watched it is because I really enjoy serialized shows or that have atleast some multiple episode spanning arcs
@@Zman201 Contrary to what it looks like, F is for Family does have multiple episode arcs, and while it doesn't have an overarching story there's always a story for each of the characters every season. Plus all of the characters have characters arcs that span the entire show.
i really hope they don’t end up pairing reagan up with brett, like yh they have good chemistry, i think their love gives more of a “brother of another mother” type of vibe, idk if it’s just me
Same. Their dynamic kind of gives me Dipper and Mabel vibes, with Dipper being Reagan and Brett being Mabel. Except Reagan is like a more jaded and less curious Dipper, and Brett is like a non-hyper Mabel with anxiety issues.
@@bluebird1914 I think that may be due to Alex Hirsch being the producer of the show lol. He was the one to voice Grunkle Stan, Soos,and Bill Cipher. Also he wrote for the show so that might have influenced the dynamic between Brett and Reagan. Personally I don’t mind if they get together but I would much more prefer if the two main male and female characters to not get together for once and just stay BFFS. I just hope they work for that relationship instead of making them have some fling or something.
Yes, I’m so sick of the “will they, won’t they” partners turned partners in crime archetype. It always causes the show to jump the shark and is just… so predictable. I’m hoping that if they touch on this idea in a future season it will be to parody the idea and it won’t actually have them end up together
@@TheAlphaJayShow There could be a crossover with this show and rick and morty. Maybe enough that this show would be successful, and maybe could get a special sauce like rick and morty lol :]
There's already blog posts on how "Inside Job" is ""Gravity falls " spiritual successor ". And I just groaned out loud (gol) seeing it today after binge watching this series today looking for the part 2 release date.
I like how Brett was used, it helps explore the world without a huge exposition dump. Being a foil for Reagan and filling that void helped me like him.
He's a very clever idea for a character. He's introduced as this skin-deep soulles corporate yes man automaton, but you quickly realise he's actually just an insecure boy with a giant heart and rapidly becomes reagans best friend, not because he's on Reagans intellectual level (he's practically the homer simpson of the show) but because in his simplicity, he's the one person Reagan can trust. And as somewhat of a stand in for the audience, he acts as a bridge into the shows world via man who ISNT all knowing or all powerful, but rather just a simple working stiff like the rest of us.
I love that there is a reason Regan doesn't realize the obvious AI declares humanity flawed plot twist. She never saw terminator or any other movie. This literally comes up as a plot point in the 80s episode.
This show was instantly on my list as soon as it was announced. The rate of jokes per episode is crazy and i love poring through all the tiny jokes and easter eggs in the background.
I loved the first season. I just hope they don't (SPOILER WARNING) Back track on making Rand irredeemable and have Reagan forgive him for fucking with her mind. Seriously, if they pull a "he may be a shitty person, but he's still my dad." thing I'll be pissed. It's about time we have an adult cartoon where someone isn't going to be a passive doormat for their neglectful ,abusive parent just cause he's the "comic relief."
The slow build to him being a villain is honestly the best part. I want them to milk all the villainy out of him that they can. I hope they don’t change up Reagan’s character to have her actually forgive him to that but this also would cause her to ask herself some deep questions. Like, does she ACTUALLY like working there or is it really just all her dad’s influence? The robo bear has analyzed her so much over the years and came to the conclusion that she’s not happy there. Is some self-reflection gonna reveal the same thing for her? I’m actually more curious about what the Rand reveal means for her about her own life more than anything else.
Or they gonna pull a second bearo for Reagan letting the president run freely in the base after repairing them, either that or Rand gets fired at the end of the Season and their old boss takes the job again
I hope they'll keep her pissed at him, because it sets yo an interesting dynamic. Rand doesnt think he's done anything wrong to Reagan. From his point of view, what he did benefited them both tremendously. He does care a great deal for her, but almost just as an extension of himself (seeing as he tweaked her DNA in the womb to make her more him than Tomiko)
I hope so to but judging by this season alone, that would go directly against one of the major themes in this show. That being toxic familial relationships and the idea that you can't just go around being an asshole to people because your actions have consequences.
Let me tell you about Final Space. Asides from a character-driven story, the series excelled mostly on characterization and world-building. Most of them are likable, with some of them being amusing and, even, compelling. The world-building is just astonishingly beautiful. And I’m not going to forget about the VA performances, especially with David Tennant and Steven Yeun as Lord Commander and Little Cato respectively knocking them out of the park. This is what I can say about Inside Job. They excelled mostly on characterization and world-building. The cast is pretty much entertaining and likable, especially with Reagan being a mood and Brett being a pure Best-Boi material. Voice acting is not good, but it’s amazing. Lizzy Caplan perfectly encapsulated Reagan’s character, and so does Clark Dune’s charming voice for Brett and John Di-f***ing-Maggio just amusing me with EVERY SINGLE LINE that he speaks. For some reason, Rand is the asshole character that you WANT to stay as an asshole forever. You really hate the series to redeem him so much, and you would want to keep it that way. And, it’s pretty much interesting. Lastly, the interesting world-building aspect just perfectly encapsulates the premise that the series revolves around. You get to see how these conspiracies are handled. You get to see how they would integrate into the world like ours. It really makes you feel what conspiracy theories themselves make you feel. Paranoid yet interested and immersed. Damn, that’s too long. To sum it up, I love the show. Have great day!!! ❤️❤️
I love Inside Job- the premise is so strong and interesting with so much room to work with. Reagan is a realistic character personality wise, her family issues and team issues and the growth and revelations. Brett is a good counterbalance to her. And I hope next season Andre and Gigi get more development.
Does Helluva boss count as Adult Animation, because they have real celebrities in that. From famed VA Richard Steven Horvitz to Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead, Boon Dock Saints, and Death Stranding fame
I find the main character relatable in a sad way. I am autistic and in a STEM field, and I substitute my connections with people with studying, I crave connection but it feels so distant. It feels like I've almost abandoned my humanity. This made me realise the person I don't want to become. I don't want to be a cynical scientist who betrays their ethics because all I've ever been valued for is my ability to learn and create. That said, I also enjoy big mouth because it doesn't gloss over puberty or sugarcoat it.
I agree ! I loved that Big Mouth depicts Middle School as it is ! Or at least how I wished it to be, if I wasn't scared to talk about sex with my Friends. Afraid they'll see me dirty. Boys not seeing me anymore as a girl. While boys could talk about it all the time
I think they've implied that Reagans on the autism spectrum both straight up (her mom says as much) and in how she's coded behaviorally (little things like uncomfortableness with people touching her, uncomfortableness with looking people in the eye, discomfort with dating etc )| Oh and dont sweat the big picture too much. Just do you, and things will turn out in the end. Theres a lot of folks who feel the same way, and you will all find each other in the end. Take it from a *very* neurodiverse older dude. It all works out peaches in the end.
honestly i would love for inside job to make some kind of reference to gravity falls. A line so small that if you didn't watch GF you wouldn't really pick up on it, but something like "that fucked up town in Oregon". i just think it would be funny considering how big of an influence alex hirsch has on the show as well as how well the two universes would fit together
I really just have to say this, I think F is for Family is WAY to little talked about when it comes to Adult Animation, or really hardly at all. I can see why some people may at first not like the show by the first appearance, but same thing can go for BoJack Horseman, and look how that Masterpiece turned out. Now the Show is sadly over, but it did end well enough covering its premise, I would recommend the show honestly.
I watched the finale a while ago and I miss the show already. The show does a really good job at capturing the atmosphere of a family. Like the show is set in the 70's and everytime any scene comes on all I can think to myself is "This feels like something that happens in my family." Even though I wasn't alive during that era. I also enjoy how easy F is for Family's themes are to understand. Don't get me wrong, I love shows like Bojack with it's complex themes and metaphors that you can really go to town with analysing, but sometimes I just wanna sit down and watch something that I don't need a degree in English to truly grasp the meaning of. With F is for Family it's simple, but still delivers that emotional gut punch.
I was big into aliens and monsters and conspiracies as a kid so a great part of this show for me was picking out and enjoying all the references to them. Favorite being the bar they hang out at, McUltra's Show was a great time in general though and I just adore Regan. Though I'm just a fan of the cynic trying to be better type character and she does it great Also fun fact the voice actor for Robotus is also Mickey Mouse in the new shorts
They both have some mystery elements to it, but I definitely want this to have its own place away from the Gravity Falls shadow, like how Close Enough can be viewed away from Regular Show
@@r.7242 She posted some stuff on social media like about how she obsessed with some kid's hair at a fair or something and talking about them in some questionable language. I'm not certain if she's just an idiot without a filter and common sense or legitimately attracted to underaged people. Along with the fact that she was making a kids show that could be interpreted to have allot of peter pan syndrome plot points made the situation a bit more suspicious. And since the show was touching on lgbt themes as well the execs got scared caved in to the outrage machine.
Regan Is slowly becoming my favorite and most relatedable character ever and looking forward gor Season 2! Still waiting for you to bash Star Trek: Lower Decks!
The King K Rool joke got me hooked. This is probably my favorite new show of the year. My only problem is that they need to flesh out some of the other side characters more. Hopefully they'll do that in part 2
Finally! someone who doesn’t compare this show to Rick and Morty, but recognizes it has its own unique space in the adult animation landscape. I really enjoyed this show (though the one Aspergers joke they have rubs me the wrong way because not only do we not use that term for autism anymore, but it doesn’t even add anything to the story-it’s just a jab at our struggles and it feels very bad) and I can’t wait to see more!
@@kendrarasberry3078 it’s unacceptable, but luckily it’s not drawn out and there really aren’t that many jokes like that that I picked up on. A lot of it is actually extremely clever, and I quite enjoy it and even recommend it. In the end it comes down to your personal level of tolerance.
Honestly I think that was the point of the joke. Reagan's mom made the joke, and it's pretty clear that she's very vain, misinformed and falls way too much into that toxic positivity mindset. So I'd argue that the joke was used to show not only what kind of person she is, but how she cares so little about her daughter that she didn't bother to see if Reagan actually has Asperger's, but expected her to do that.
@@bluebird1914 okay i can see that-the problem is no one ever corrected her enough. Reagan has a lot of traits people stereotypically apply to autistic people, and no one ever corrects her that it’s not called Asperger’s anymore either.
I honestly really enjoyed Brett and Reagan's relationship, especially as the show progressed. They complement each other and while Brett's backstory is a bit flat, their specific and opposing childhood traumas and the way they influenced their characters is honestly so interesting. Also they arent pegged as romantic partners which is strange for male and female leads. They honestly read as platonic soulmates and i love that. A lot of the side characters arent that interesting though, Myc specifically.
I was in a bad place when the show came out when I watched it made me so happy that I couldn't stop rewatching it. to me it had no bad episodes but need it more episode because it full of potential.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about The Midnight Gospel, a very trippy yet insightful, podcast-y show from Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward and Duncan Trussell. The show only has one season but it's a great watch, especially the season finale.
I know I'm late, and drunk, but this show is legit so good I've watched all of it twice. This shows great. I love the characters, I love their flaws, I love the narrative. Its great- smart and dumb at the same time, and not taking itself too seriously, but also able to actually manage to have a cohesive plot- which is really rare for these kind of shows
So while surface wise Regan and Brett are foils in both skills and flaws and balance each other out tactically, as the show progresses and you get more their back story, it really clicked to me why they have built such a bond. While they both have grown into basically polar opposites, much of their social and emotional parts of their personalities are the two opposite ends of what both stem from a deep fear of abandonment after a life time of feeling neglected, used/abused (or fear of), and deep sense of loneliness that comes with that. Regan learned to focus on what she could control - science and engineering and being a genius book wise while avoiding deeper connections because of all the potential pain associated. Brett on the other Hand, leaned so hard the other way that while charming and genuinely a himbo with heart of gold, also is desperate to please people so even if it’s supericial, everyone likes him, even when his need to please is a detriment to himself. So that he can cling onto both the good feels of being well liked (or at least dupe himself into believing/stay blissfully ignorant) as well as his hyper attachment never is jeopardized by potentially losing said connections thereby feeling what he has worked so hard to avoid - that same feeling of abandonment and loneliness.
I love Bret and regans dynamic, bret and the evil Ai are my favorite characters bret for his genuine care for others and evil Ai is a tv show addict like myself it is the only reason to keep humanity alive and I think he’s beginning to realize that.
Castlevania on Netflix is also pretty good adult animated show, a bloody, violent and brutal as fvck, but the same time well written show that has interesting complex characters that you don't often find in animated shows, Dracula, main baddie, is in this show a written so well that you REALLY want to care for him, even if he wants to kill everyone from his way. Good stuff.👍👍👍
I will always love that Reagan and Brett became friends - it looked like they would be rivals, but them becoming BFFs was the best writing decision character wise.
Ooohh.. would be a shame if some netflix execs are to... CANCEL IT!! DUN DUN DAH!!! And not release the already produced season, possibly, for tax write off!!! GASP!?! I'm upset.
8:17, In case you were wondering, it was later confirmed, in episode 3: "The Blue Blood", that in Cognito, Human Resources is actually called Inhuman Resources, and that it was managed by non other then Mothman himself.
I was woried about the animation style being generic, but them i saw how smooth the animation was and then i was like, yeah, i can sacrifice detail for smooth animation
I’m surprised he didn’t bring up the simpsons or even family guy when talking about adult animation that has left an impact. Even if they aren’t good, they absolutely made huge changes.
Holy crap I really like this show. I hope it doesnt get shut down or that I'm able to watch it where I am. I cant think of one constructive criticism or negative thing right now about the first episode
I'll be honest I didn't laugh a ton when I watched Inside Job but I found Brett, Reagan and her dad to be fun and interesting characters which mattered a bit more to me.
Hey, Big Mouth does get better over the course of the series, the characters becoming more fleshed out and even better people Portraying sex in a realistic light as well as mental health and sexuality, consent and gender identity as well as all the challenges that come with growing up
True but the one thing that always puts me off is all the stuff Andrew does. He's a little creep. I love the hormone monsters tho, especially Connie lol.
Honestly, I'm not normally a stickler for animation. I just can't get into Big Mouth due to the fugly character designs and the plot just feels inconsequential
@@P0nderProductions There is not a lot of development that sticks around during the early seasons, but as it goes on the plot starts to get less inconsequential even if the status quo doesn't shift hasn't shifted that hard. I'm not going to tell you it is worth to stick around though, the show really isn't for everybody
I always loved how the supposed main villain of the season gets caught in the first few episodes and spends the rest of the season sat in the basement messing with Rileys head I wish more shows tried new dynamics between the main hero and villian
14:48 The Kazam poster is seen here, in season 2, project reboot changed the movie to Shazam, with only jr remembering kazam as the original. This is great attention to detail from the creators
Not bad for an adult show. Though, the animation not that spectacular you've seen this in every modern adult cartoons and sometimes the humor isn't the strongest. It's still good and I do understand why people were not feeling it when they first saw it and think it will be just another Rick and Morty.
@@bluefire9285 Yes it's one of those adult cartoons with better animation and not generic or standard along with The Boondocks, The Venture Bros, King of The Hill, Mission Hill, and etc.
It wouldnt surprise me if they want for a more basic animation to not give people another reason to not be interested. Like a world where all conspiracies are true might already put some people off, if they went in really unique with the art style they could risk disengaging even more people. It wouldnt for me personally but they might not have wanted to push themselves outside the box toooo much
so so so late to this but i would love to see a review on the brettfast club or the season as a whole, specifically focusing on the themes of how brett + reagan are character foils who underwent similar traumas (lack of acceptance + love growing up), how that manifested differently in them as adults, and how they can help each other through their similarities + differences in that regard. love this video btw
I binge watched it for the 2nd time yesterday! Great timing. I feel like while the humor could be more subtle, it makes up for in other aspects. I'm biased tho, i have a soft spot for adult animation
Honestly, I only watch the Simpsons when it comes to classic adult animated shows, and it's mostly for background noise when I draw or eat. Inside Job is definitely in my top 10 shows of 2021, and considering the competition (Arcane, namely) I'd say that that's a good sign. But then again, can we really expect lesser quality from two of the minds behind Gravity Falls?
Yo found your channel really recently already obsessed and watching all your vids, you have just the right mix harsh criticism, constructive criticism, and positive feedback so you don’t seem too cynical or like you complain just to complain, or like you overlook the negative in favor of your opinions, keep up the great work man!
Why does it almost seem like a staple in cartoons that you have to have at least one "bad dad" character? Obviously there's exceptions like Josh in Close Enough and Bob in Bob's Burgers, and I'm not complaining or anything, if they're well written they tend to be pretty interesting, I'm just curious. Like are cartoon creators doing okay?
At least with this show it was bad parents. Not just a bad dad, but an all around bad family. Heck, one could agrue that as bad as the dad is in this show. At least he is active in her life.
The way I see it, Rand was an awful dad, but he thought he was doing what was good for his daughter really but even he knows he can’t put his daughters needs and wants over his own wants and needs. He’s selfish and he’s a bad dad but he does at least kinda try.
The problem with adult animation for me is there is too much profanity. IT feel like they have to have cursing just to prove this isn't for kids. Now I'm fine with curse words, as long as the situation is appropriate for it. That's why I love Infinity train. It tackles adult themes, without being vulgar or profane.
Alot of the overuse of profanity in this show is actually handled pretty well alot of the funny part of those scenes is purely the unnecessary overuse of said rofanity
what youre describing *could* have been Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel but, interesting plot and music aside, its chock full of stale humor and unnecessary curse words and sex jokes
I looked at the preview on Netflix just to see what the shows about and I ended up binging the entire show in one go. It's rare that an adult show even gets a chuckle out of me, so the fact that Inside Job got me to laugh a bunch was refreshing. Big ups to the writers!
Awn. I like Big Mouth. Though not because of its animation or character design. I like the light-hearted look on the heavy topics along with criticizing what needs to be criticized (parental neglect, teachers taking advantage of students, students being obsessive with teachers, older guys preying on younger girls for s*x*al benefit, etc) and I like how they present several different experiences of puberty that you don't usually see in these sort of stories, like the discovery of kinks, for example.
The themes being ultimately about found family in weird circumstances and learning how to live your adult life and dealing with the trauma you were brought up with. For a very zaney all bets are off kind of show the center is fantastically relatable. Also the dynamics of duality between the characters works so well! I love Bret he's a himbo and he's such a perfect foil to Reagan, extrovert to her introvert, socially adept to her technical expertise, wholesome bean to her monstrosities that God himself what condemn. (Also the ending to s1? Part 1? is just perfect.)
I like this show. But it’s hard to laugh at conspiracy stuff. I have a relative who believed all this stuff and died refusing treatment from Doctors because conspiracy. Ultimately my only real criticism of the show is the time it came out. I’d probably really like this show a lot more if it was made in 2019
I think its kinda amusing that the only genuine "good guy" this show actually has is Brett, a mindless corporate drone of a man lol This show is *very* funny, and surprisingly its got a lot of heart. I do hope it gets a second season.
first? also rlly love the show, ive watched it at least 4 times already. its so nice to have a character like reagon ,,,,, and we LOVE a golden retriever bf lmoaooo
I'm so glad that someone understands Big Mouth. I've seen a lot of people online hail it as one of the "good" adult animated shows on parr with Bojack Horseman. Which just isn't true.
I love adult animation, but I hate how it's comedically focused, sometimes with even low brow humor. I'm actually working on my own teaser trailer, and pilot for a show. It's a science fantasy show, with modern aspects. It's main plot is a revenge story, with sub plots that explore the psychology of the characters.
I’m so happy that so many RUclipsrs started making videos of this show, and so soon after we watched (and rewatched) it! REALLY excited for a second season, it they get to make one!!!!
I feel like at the beginning this show will be compared to Rick and Morty, but after watching the first episode i can see this show is something very different
I’ve already watched this show twice because it was actually so good. I watched it on a lark figuring it’d just be another dumb crass adult animation and was more than pleasantly surprised it was exactly what I wanted in adult animation. Plus I love a good conspiracy theory and mothman.
I am a person who is usually not into this kind of shows and avoids them at all cost. Then I started looking for the fragments of Inside Job, and it blew my mind. In contrast to other adult animations I know that are about s*x, gore, t*rd, American stereotypes and ugly blank characters, Inside Job has actually good humour, smooth animation and likeable, relatable characters whose dynamics are really interesting to watch. It has something cool, something funny, something wholesome, and even a good drama connected to the past and struggles in the present. The creators really put effort into this, not thinking of their audience as r*tarded followers. It really is a breath of fresh air.

Rand is horrible, drunk and abusive, but he isn’t a complete moron. When he wants to, he can make things happen. The lengths he’s later revealed to have gone to for his long term goals, he was always going to have a contingency in case he was kicked out of Cognito Inc.
Just imagine Tomiko having a large share in the company lmfaoooo
Honestly I couldn’t agree more with alfa,was anyone else glad with this breath of fresh air?
Not to be a grammar nazi but you misspelled the name
Very nice to see more variety in adult animation
@@TheMemeCritic Could be a nickname, lol
Now you can't edit your comment because you'll lose the heart if you do
@@TheAlphaJayShow it’s been the nickname for you since I first subbed
This show is also well researched. It tackled mental illnesses better than half the other animations that try to tackle the issue in a serious manner.
In regards to Adult Animations, highly recommend F is for Family. It’s one of my all time favorites on Netflix
True. I feel like they did a great job of that with Brett especially, like the more you learn about him the more you realize that his "happy go lucky" facade is actually a mask he created because of his own anxiety and neglect from his family, which caused him to have a persistent need to be liked.
It also makes a lot more sense looking back on some of the older episodes, when one of the episodes revealed that he's seeing a therapist.
I second F is for Family, so underrated !
I've heard F is for Family is pretty good, only reason I haven't watched it is because I really enjoy serialized shows or that have atleast some multiple episode spanning arcs
@@Zman201 Contrary to what it looks like, F is for Family does have multiple episode arcs, and while it doesn't have an overarching story there's always a story for each of the characters every season. Plus all of the characters have characters arcs that span the entire show.
@@Zman201 f is for family is serialized
i really hope they don’t end up pairing reagan up with brett, like yh they have good chemistry, i think their love gives more of a “brother of another mother” type of vibe, idk if it’s just me
Same. Their dynamic kind of gives me Dipper and Mabel vibes, with Dipper being Reagan and Brett being Mabel. Except Reagan is like a more jaded and less curious Dipper, and Brett is like a non-hyper Mabel with anxiety issues.
Same here
@@bluebird1914 I think that may be due to Alex Hirsch being the producer of the show lol. He was the one to voice Grunkle Stan, Soos,and Bill Cipher. Also he wrote for the show so that might have influenced the dynamic between Brett and Reagan.
Personally I don’t mind if they get together but I would much more prefer if the two main male and female characters to not get together for once and just stay BFFS. I just hope they work for that relationship instead of making them have some fling or something.
Yeah, i'm getting a bit tired of all the fictional friendships ending up in a romantic relationship for no reason at all-
Yes, I’m so sick of the “will they, won’t they” partners turned partners in crime archetype. It always causes the show to jump the shark and is just… so predictable. I’m hoping that if they touch on this idea in a future season it will be to parody the idea and it won’t actually have them end up together
This is probably going to be so popular, probably because people would believe that’s this is a rick and morty and a gravity falls combination
I can already see the new McDonalds tie-in like with Rick and Morty. Some kind of conspiracy szechuan sauce.
@@TheAlphaJayShow There could be a crossover with this show and rick and morty. Maybe enough that this show would be successful, and maybe could get a special sauce like rick and morty lol :]
I hope it gets popular, so we get more episodes beyond the upcoming Part 2 of Season 1, but I haven't seen much discussion around this series.
It’s more than that but there’s obvious influences from both shows that are present in Inside job
There's already blog posts on how "Inside Job" is ""Gravity falls " spiritual successor ".
And I just groaned out loud (gol) seeing it today after binge watching this series today looking for the part 2 release date.
I like how Brett was used, it helps explore the world without a huge exposition dump. Being a foil for Reagan and filling that void helped me like him.
He's a very clever idea for a character. He's introduced as this skin-deep soulles corporate yes man automaton, but you quickly realise he's actually just an insecure boy with a giant heart and rapidly becomes reagans best friend, not because he's on Reagans intellectual level (he's practically the homer simpson of the show) but because in his simplicity, he's the one person Reagan can trust. And as somewhat of a stand in for the audience, he acts as a bridge into the shows world via man who ISNT all knowing or all powerful, but rather just a simple working stiff like the rest of us.
I love that there is a reason Regan doesn't realize the obvious AI declares humanity flawed plot twist. She never saw terminator or any other movie. This literally comes up as a plot point in the 80s episode.
This show was instantly on my list as soon as it was announced. The rate of jokes per episode is crazy and i love poring through all the tiny jokes and easter eggs in the background.
I loved the first season. I just hope they don't (SPOILER WARNING)
Back track on making Rand irredeemable and have Reagan forgive him for fucking with her mind. Seriously, if they pull a "he may be a shitty person, but he's still my dad." thing I'll be pissed. It's about time we have an adult cartoon where someone isn't going to be a passive doormat for their neglectful ,abusive parent just cause he's the "comic relief."
Rand is a such a good villain. The show does a good job of building up to it and reviling that he is a monster.
The slow build to him being a villain is honestly the best part. I want them to milk all the villainy out of him that they can.
I hope they don’t change up Reagan’s character to have her actually forgive him to that but this also would cause her to ask herself some deep questions. Like, does she ACTUALLY like working there or is it really just all her dad’s influence? The robo bear has analyzed her so much over the years and came to the conclusion that she’s not happy there. Is some self-reflection gonna reveal the same thing for her? I’m actually more curious about what the Rand reveal means for her about her own life more than anything else.
Or they gonna pull a second bearo for Reagan letting the president run freely in the base after repairing them, either that or Rand gets fired at the end of the Season and their old boss takes the job again
I hope they'll keep her pissed at him, because it sets yo an interesting dynamic. Rand doesnt think he's done anything wrong to Reagan. From his point of view, what he did benefited them both tremendously. He does care a great deal for her, but almost just as an extension of himself (seeing as he tweaked her DNA in the womb to make her more him than Tomiko)
I hope so to but judging by this season alone, that would go directly against one of the major themes in this show. That being toxic familial relationships and the idea that you can't just go around being an asshole to people because your actions have consequences.
Let me tell you about Final Space. Asides from a character-driven story, the series excelled mostly on characterization and world-building. Most of them are likable, with some of them being amusing and, even, compelling. The world-building is just astonishingly beautiful. And I’m not going to forget about the VA performances, especially with David Tennant and Steven Yeun as Lord Commander and Little Cato respectively knocking them out of the park.
This is what I can say about Inside Job. They excelled mostly on characterization and world-building. The cast is pretty much entertaining and likable, especially with Reagan being a mood and Brett being a pure Best-Boi material. Voice acting is not good, but it’s amazing. Lizzy Caplan perfectly encapsulated Reagan’s character, and so does Clark Dune’s charming voice for Brett and John Di-f***ing-Maggio just amusing me with EVERY SINGLE LINE that he speaks. For some reason, Rand is the asshole character that you WANT to stay as an asshole forever. You really hate the series to redeem him so much, and you would want to keep it that way. And, it’s pretty much interesting. Lastly, the interesting world-building aspect just perfectly encapsulates the premise that the series revolves around. You get to see how these conspiracies are handled. You get to see how they would integrate into the world like ours. It really makes you feel what conspiracy theories themselves make you feel. Paranoid yet interested and immersed.
Damn, that’s too long. To sum it up, I love the show. Have great day!!! ❤️❤️
I love that show! I thought it was so cool how they combined horror and sci-fi with the zombie Garys. (=
Final Space my beloved
One of my favorite shows ever and I’m sad to see it end
@@gloppinboopin2269 Tell me about it.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FINAL SPACE GETTING SOME LOVE!
netflix looked at this video and went "oh no, we made something good? QUICK! HIT THE CANCEL BUTTON!"
I love Inside Job- the premise is so strong and interesting with so much room to work with. Reagan is a realistic character personality wise, her family issues and team issues and the growth and revelations. Brett is a good counterbalance to her. And I hope next season Andre and Gigi get more development.
Does Helluva boss count as Adult Animation, because they have real celebrities in that. From famed VA Richard Steven Horvitz to Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead, Boon Dock Saints, and Death Stranding fame
I think it does count as adult animation
Why wouldn’t it?
@@crystalfairy912 I meant the Cannon of modern Adult Animation, because it's on RUclips for Free so it might not be seen as a "Real Show"
I love you for mentioning helluva boss 😭😭
Helluva Boss's musical numbers are absolutely phenomenal. Genuinely Broadway quality imo.
I find the main character relatable in a sad way. I am autistic and in a STEM field, and I substitute my connections with people with studying, I crave connection but it feels so distant. It feels like I've almost abandoned my humanity. This made me realise the person I don't want to become. I don't want to be a cynical scientist who betrays their ethics because all I've ever been valued for is my ability to learn and create.
That said, I also enjoy big mouth because it doesn't gloss over puberty or sugarcoat it.
I agree ! I loved that Big Mouth depicts Middle School as it is ! Or at least how I wished it to be, if I wasn't scared to talk about sex with my Friends. Afraid they'll see me dirty. Boys not seeing me anymore as a girl. While boys could talk about it all the time
Honestly
I am in the exact same situation as you, it's very comforting to know there is someone else out there with the same struggle. Thank you.
I think they've implied that Reagans on the autism spectrum both straight up (her mom says as much) and in how she's coded behaviorally (little things like uncomfortableness with people touching her, uncomfortableness with looking people in the eye, discomfort with dating etc )|
Oh and dont sweat the big picture too much. Just do you, and things will turn out in the end. Theres a lot of folks who feel the same way, and you will all find each other in the end. Take it from a *very* neurodiverse older dude. It all works out peaches in the end.
honestly i would love for inside job to make some kind of reference to gravity falls. A line so small that if you didn't watch GF you wouldn't really pick up on it, but something like "that fucked up town in Oregon". i just think it would be funny considering how big of an influence alex hirsch has on the show as well as how well the two universes would fit together
I really just have to say this, I think F is for Family is WAY to little talked about when it comes to Adult Animation, or really hardly at all. I can see why some people may at first not like the show by the first appearance, but same thing can go for BoJack Horseman, and look how that Masterpiece turned out. Now the Show is sadly over, but it did end well enough covering its premise, I would recommend the show honestly.
I watched the finale a while ago and I miss the show already.
The show does a really good job at capturing the atmosphere of a family. Like the show is set in the 70's and everytime any scene comes on all I can think to myself is "This feels like something that happens in my family." Even though I wasn't alive during that era.
I also enjoy how easy F is for Family's themes are to understand.
Don't get me wrong, I love shows like Bojack with it's complex themes and metaphors that you can really go to town with analysing, but sometimes I just wanna sit down and watch something that I don't need a degree in English to truly grasp the meaning of.
With F is for Family it's simple, but still delivers that emotional gut punch.
I just finished watching it and I already want to rewatch it
the most ive ever seen for "criticism" is iTs UgLy AnD tHeRe ArE aNiMaTiOn GlITcHeS
I was big into aliens and monsters and conspiracies as a kid so a great part of this show for me was picking out and enjoying all the references to them. Favorite being the bar they hang out at, McUltra's
Show was a great time in general though and I just adore Regan. Though I'm just a fan of the cynic trying to be better type character and she does it great
Also fun fact the voice actor for Robotus is also Mickey Mouse in the new shorts
Inside job is like a sequel to gravity falls
They both have some mystery elements to it, but I definitely want this to have its own place away from the Gravity Falls shadow, like how Close Enough can be viewed away from Regular Show
I literally just got started watching Gravity Falls (I know, I know, I’m late).
@@TheAlphaJayShow I never watched Regular Show because I was way too late the party but I still enjoy Close Enough

I don't mind this kind of adult animation on Netflix.
After all we DID get Twelve Forever by another female creator.
Too bad she’s admitted to doing some pedophila stuff and was fired for mistreating her co-workers.
@@keijijohnson9754 what -
@@r.7242 She posted some stuff on social media like about how she obsessed with some kid's hair at a fair or something and talking about them in some questionable language. I'm not certain if she's just an idiot without a filter and common sense or legitimately attracted to underaged people.
Along with the fact that she was making a kids show that could be interpreted to have allot of peter pan syndrome plot points made the situation a bit more suspicious. And since the show was touching on lgbt themes as well the execs got scared caved in to the outrage machine.
Regan Is slowly becoming my favorite and most relatedable character ever and looking forward gor Season 2!
Still waiting for you to bash Star Trek: Lower Decks!
The King K Rool joke got me hooked. This is probably my favorite new show of the year. My only problem is that they need to flesh out some of the other side characters more. Hopefully they'll do that in part 2
Finally! someone who doesn’t compare this show to Rick and Morty, but recognizes it has its own unique space in the adult animation landscape. I really enjoyed this show (though the one Aspergers joke they have rubs me the wrong way because not only do we not use that term for autism anymore, but it doesn’t even add anything to the story-it’s just a jab at our struggles and it feels very bad) and I can’t wait to see more!
Wait, this show really made an autism/Asperger’s joke?
I guess my hopes for this show are gone.
@@kendrarasberry3078 it’s unacceptable, but luckily it’s not drawn out and there really aren’t that many jokes like that that I picked up on. A lot of it is actually extremely clever, and I quite enjoy it and even recommend it. In the end it comes down to your personal level of tolerance.
Honestly I think that was the point of the joke.
Reagan's mom made the joke, and it's pretty clear that she's very vain, misinformed and falls way too much into that toxic positivity mindset. So I'd argue that the joke was used to show not only what kind of person she is, but how she cares so little about her daughter that she didn't bother to see if Reagan actually has Asperger's, but expected her to do that.
@@bluebird1914 okay i can see that-the problem is no one ever corrected her enough. Reagan has a lot of traits people stereotypically apply to autistic people, and no one ever corrects her that it’s not called Asperger’s anymore either.
So the aspergers joke was the line? Lmao ok
I honestly really enjoyed Brett and Reagan's relationship, especially as the show progressed. They complement each other and while Brett's backstory is a bit flat, their specific and opposing childhood traumas and the way they influenced their characters is honestly so interesting. Also they arent pegged as romantic partners which is strange for male and female leads. They honestly read as platonic soulmates and i love that. A lot of the side characters arent that interesting though, Myc specifically.
"I am literally Brett's emergency contact!"
Myc is funny as hell though
I was in a bad place when the show came out when I watched it made me so happy that I couldn't stop rewatching it. to me it had no bad episodes but need it more episode because it full of potential.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about The Midnight Gospel, a very trippy yet insightful, podcast-y show from Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward and Duncan Trussell. The show only has one season but it's a great watch, especially the season finale.
Fucking loved that show.
Not even 5 minutes in, and I already love the video.
Edit: finished the review, loved it! Amazing as always Jay.
Ayy thank you for the support
I know I'm late, and drunk, but this show is legit so good I've watched all of it twice. This shows great. I love the characters, I love their flaws, I love the narrative. Its great- smart and dumb at the same time, and not taking itself too seriously, but also able to actually manage to have a cohesive plot- which is really rare for these kind of shows
So while surface wise Regan and Brett are foils in both skills and flaws and balance each other out tactically, as the show progresses and you get more their back story, it really clicked to me why they have built such a bond.
While they both have grown into basically polar opposites, much of their social and emotional parts of their personalities are the two opposite ends of what both stem from a deep fear of abandonment after a life time of feeling neglected, used/abused (or fear of), and deep sense of loneliness that comes with that. Regan learned to focus on what she could control - science and engineering and being a genius book wise while avoiding deeper connections because of all the potential pain associated. Brett on the other Hand, leaned so hard the other way that while charming and genuinely a himbo with heart of gold, also is desperate to please people so even if it’s supericial, everyone likes him, even when his need to please is a detriment to himself. So that he can cling onto both the good feels of being well liked (or at least dupe himself into believing/stay blissfully ignorant) as well as his hyper attachment never is jeopardized by potentially losing said connections thereby feeling what he has worked so hard to avoid - that same feeling of abandonment and loneliness.
I love Bret and regans dynamic, bret and the evil Ai are my favorite characters bret for his genuine care for others and evil Ai is a tv show addict like myself it is the only reason to keep humanity alive and I think he’s beginning to realize that.
I watched the show and loved every minute of it
Castlevania on Netflix is also pretty good adult animated show, a bloody, violent and brutal as fvck, but the same time well written show that has interesting complex characters that you don't often find in animated shows, Dracula, main baddie, is in this show a written so well that you REALLY want to care for him, even if he wants to kill everyone from his way. Good stuff.👍👍👍
I wasn't sure about this show at first but now I like it ❤
Glad you liked it!
Fucking loved this show it really brought me back to gravity falls which I'm pretty sure one of the creators worked on this show or sum like that
I will always love that Reagan and Brett became friends - it looked like they would be rivals, but them becoming BFFs was the best writing decision character wise.
Honestly, this series is a GODSEND!
Ooohh.. would be a shame if some netflix execs are to... CANCEL IT!! DUN DUN DAH!!!
And not release the already produced season, possibly, for tax write off!!! GASP!?!
I'm upset.
Same
They did a bunch of stuff that's all been done before and pulled it off fantastically. I can't wait for more.
Inside job has been cancelled now, on a cliffhanger, something Netflix said in 2017 that they wouldn't do again.
8:17, In case you were wondering, it was later confirmed, in episode 3: "The Blue Blood", that in Cognito, Human Resources is actually called Inhuman Resources, and that it was managed by non other then Mothman himself.
I was woried about the animation style being generic, but them i saw how smooth the animation was and then i was like, yeah, i can sacrifice detail for smooth animation
its still generic
And now it's cancelled, thanks Netflix, now we can see all the Big Mouth seasons we want
I’m surprised he didn’t bring up the simpsons or even family guy when talking about adult animation that has left an impact. Even if they aren’t good, they absolutely made huge changes.
I love how expressive the character animations are.
Holy crap I really like this show. I hope it doesnt get shut down or that I'm able to watch it where I am.
I cant think of one constructive criticism or negative thing right now about the first episode
Inside job, F is for family, final space and tear along the dotted line are all sooooo good
ofcourse there's also Bojack Horseman
boy have i got news for you
Should I watch it? Everyone says it’s great
It's pretty neat, there is a lot of choices in adult animation, so if the first episodes don't hook you in, there's a lot more to offer nowadays
I'll be honest I didn't laugh a ton when I watched Inside Job but I found Brett, Reagan and her dad to be fun and interesting characters which mattered a bit more to me.
Hey, Big Mouth does get better over the course of the series, the characters becoming more fleshed out and even better people
Portraying sex in a realistic light as well as mental health and sexuality, consent and gender identity as well as all the challenges that come with growing up
Exactly
True but the one thing that always puts me off is all the stuff Andrew does. He's a little creep. I love the hormone monsters tho, especially Connie lol.
Honestly, I'm not normally a stickler for animation. I just can't get into Big Mouth due to the fugly character designs and the plot just feels inconsequential
@@P0nderProductions There is not a lot of development that sticks around during the early seasons, but as it goes on the plot starts to get less inconsequential even if the status quo doesn't shift hasn't shifted that hard. I'm not going to tell you it is worth to stick around though, the show really isn't for everybody
@@helen8022 Actually without spoiling too much, he gets a major character growth in the newest season.
I always loved how the supposed main villain of the season gets caught in the first few episodes and spends the rest of the season sat in the basement messing with Rileys head I wish more shows tried new dynamics between the main hero and villian
Glad to see you covering this! Would love to see you do a video on Bojack Horseman if you've ever seen it!
14:48 The Kazam poster is seen here, in season 2, project reboot changed the movie to Shazam, with only jr remembering kazam as the original. This is great attention to detail from the creators
Not bad for an adult show. Though, the animation not that spectacular you've seen this in every modern adult cartoons and sometimes the humor isn't the strongest. It's still good and I do understand why people were not feeling it when they first saw it and think it will be just another Rick and Morty.
Final Space is adult and the Animation there is fucking amazing!
@@bluefire9285 Yes it's one of those adult cartoons with better animation and not generic or standard along with The Boondocks, The Venture Bros, King of The Hill, Mission Hill, and etc.
It wouldnt surprise me if they want for a more basic animation to not give people another reason to not be interested. Like a world where all conspiracies are true might already put some people off, if they went in really unique with the art style they could risk disengaging even more people. It wouldnt for me personally but they might not have wanted to push themselves outside the box toooo much
@@alexh99 Agreed
@@dontemorgan1517 Go Team Venture!
so so so late to this but i would love to see a review on the brettfast club or the season as a whole, specifically focusing on the themes of how brett + reagan are character foils who underwent similar traumas (lack of acceptance + love growing up), how that manifested differently in them as adults, and how they can help each other through their similarities + differences in that regard. love this video btw
I binge watched it for the 2nd time yesterday! Great timing. I feel like while the humor could be more subtle, it makes up for in other aspects. I'm biased tho, i have a soft spot for adult animation
this didnt age well
Honestly, I only watch the Simpsons when it comes to classic adult animated shows, and it's mostly for background noise when I draw or eat. Inside Job is definitely in my top 10 shows of 2021, and considering the competition (Arcane, namely) I'd say that that's a good sign. But then again, can we really expect lesser quality from two of the minds behind Gravity Falls?
It’s so refreshing to see an adult cartoon protagonist who ISN’T a complete menace and yet is treated like a lovable scamp
Yo found your channel really recently already obsessed and watching all your vids, you have just the right mix harsh criticism, constructive criticism, and positive feedback so you don’t seem too cynical or like you complain just to complain, or like you overlook the negative in favor of your opinions, keep up the great work man!
Just found this channel and from your intro alone I'm liking this video
Really enjoyed this show
But I was shaking my head when Reagan showed social media to robotus (guess she never watch age of ultron)
Why does it almost seem like a staple in cartoons that you have to have at least one "bad dad" character?
Obviously there's exceptions like Josh in Close Enough and Bob in Bob's Burgers, and I'm not complaining or anything, if they're well written they tend to be pretty interesting, I'm just curious.
Like are cartoon creators doing okay?
At least with this show it was bad parents. Not just a bad dad, but an all around bad family.
Heck, one could agrue that as bad as the dad is in this show. At least he is active in her life.
tbf, Reagan's Dad takes it to a whole other level.
The way I see it, Rand was an awful dad, but he thought he was doing what was good for his daughter really but even he knows he can’t put his daughters needs and wants over his own wants and needs. He’s selfish and he’s a bad dad but he does at least kinda try.
The problem with adult animation for me is there is too much profanity. IT feel like they have to have cursing just to prove this isn't for kids. Now I'm fine with curse words, as long as the situation is appropriate for it. That's why I love Infinity train. It tackles adult themes, without being vulgar or profane.
Alot of the overuse of profanity in this show is actually handled pretty well alot of the funny part of those scenes is purely the unnecessary overuse of said rofanity
what youre describing *could* have been Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel but, interesting plot and music aside, its chock full of stale humor and unnecessary curse words and sex jokes
I immediatly Saw Rand Tampering with The Code off screen while He Was in the Background. Never Felt so Observent.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW!!!!!!
I looked at the preview on Netflix just to see what the shows about and I ended up binging the entire show in one go. It's rare that an adult show even gets a chuckle out of me, so the fact that Inside Job got me to laugh a bunch was refreshing. Big ups to the writers!
Awn. I like Big Mouth. Though not because of its animation or character design. I like the light-hearted look on the heavy topics along with criticizing what needs to be criticized (parental neglect, teachers taking advantage of students, students being obsessive with teachers, older guys preying on younger girls for s*x*al benefit, etc) and I like how they present several different experiences of puberty that you don't usually see in these sort of stories, like the discovery of kinks, for example.
The themes being ultimately about found family in weird circumstances and learning how to live your adult life and dealing with the trauma you were brought up with. For a very zaney all bets are off kind of show the center is fantastically relatable. Also the dynamics of duality between the characters works so well! I love Bret he's a himbo and he's such a perfect foil to Reagan, extrovert to her introvert, socially adept to her technical expertise, wholesome bean to her monstrosities that God himself what condemn. (Also the ending to s1? Part 1? is just perfect.)
Watched all the episodes and it’s actually great, cant wait fo the new season
I like this show. But it’s hard to laugh at conspiracy stuff. I have a relative who believed all this stuff and died refusing treatment from Doctors because conspiracy. Ultimately my only real criticism of the show is the time it came out. I’d probably really like this show a lot more if it was made in 2019
Given what's going on, I'd say it fits
@@ditto7047 I agree, right now is the perfect time to release a show like this

I'm so glad that someone understands Big Mouth. I've seen a lot of people online hail it as one of the "good" adult animated shows on parr with Bojack Horseman. Which just isn't true.
I couldn't sit threw the first episode of that show it was way to cringe
I love adult animation, but I hate how it's comedically focused, sometimes with even low brow humor.
I'm actually working on my own teaser trailer, and pilot for a show. It's a science fantasy show, with modern aspects. It's main plot is a revenge story, with sub plots that explore the psychology of the characters.
I’m so happy that so many RUclipsrs started making videos of this show, and so soon after we watched (and rewatched) it! REALLY excited for a second season, it they get to make one!!!!
I feel like at the beginning this show will be compared to Rick and Morty, but after watching the first episode i can see this show is something very different

I am a person who is usually not into this kind of shows and avoids them at all cost. Then I started looking for the fragments of Inside Job, and it blew my mind. In contrast to other adult animations I know that are about s*x, gore, t*rd, American stereotypes and ugly blank characters, Inside Job has actually good humour, smooth animation and likeable, relatable characters whose dynamics are really interesting to watch. It has something cool, something funny, something wholesome, and even a good drama connected to the past and struggles in the present. The creators really put effort into this, not thinking of their audience as r*tarded followers. It really is a breath of fresh air.
