That equation makes perfect sense, as the show is created and written by Dave Willis, the co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force who basically defined the network’s voice, and Chris “Casper” Kelly, who’s responsible for both Too Many Cooks and the brilliant (and disgusting) “Cheddar Goblin” sequence in Panos Cosmatos’s Mandy. It has the absurd edge Adult Swim is known for, mashed up with the horror elements of the network’s Too Many Cooks viral smash. This isn’t a show you’re necessarily proud to watch, but it’s one you’ll probably dig, regardless. It’s gross, bloody, deeply immature, and almost always good for a laugh or three. Over the course of season four’s first two episodes, a character idly plays with a detached testicle, another gradually collapses into a pestilent sack of blood and pus, and a third is excited to wake up to a surprise human caterpillar situation. Adult Swim’s grotesque sitcom Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell-think The Office in Hell, as directed by Dario Argento-gets a ton of mileage out of playing body horror for laughs, with suitably grisly horror movie special effects from the Atlanta-based Silver Scream FX Lab. I always thought I would eventually grow out of finding dismemberment funny, but somehow that hasn’t quite happened yet.
