Hell and Back
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:54 pm
Synopsis:
A joint effort of several "Robot Chicken" and "Bob's Burgers" alums about a group of losers who have to go hell to rescue their equally loser friend after makes a careless, dumb-ass bet.
Review:
This is done in a faux stop motion sort of style that rips off a lot of Robot Chicken, especially in the hell scenes (the demon models look like they were on loan straight from Seth Green). Three slackers working at their shithole carnival find a book that can open up the actual gateway to hell. One of them accidentally swears a blood oath on the devil's image and promptly breaks it, sucking him into the netherworld. His two buddies go in and look for him. The devil needs a human sacrifice to appease the demon union and raise corporate morale. Meanwhile, his two friends team up with a purple half-demon (voiced by Mila Kunis) and Orpheus (Danny McBride).
Notable cameos:
Susan Sarandon as a cockteasing angel whom the devil wants to bang.
Lance Bass as a random demon
Master Shake as another random demon
Archer as "Sex Offender Tree", a tree that's raped both Orpheus and the devil.
Verdict:
Worth checking once. If you've seen Adult Swim or Fox's "Animation Domination," you've seen 50% of it already.
