Review: "Uncle Grandpa: Good Mornin'" DVD Gets Up on the Right Side of the Bed

$

UncleGrandpaGoodMornin_3

Uncle Grandpa Good Mornin' DVD CoverSo here we are with another Uncle Grandpa DVD, the second one following the first volume “Tiger Tails”. Like that and other single-disc DVD releases for other recent Cartoon Network hits, “Uncle Grandpa: Good Mornin'” delivers a set of twelve 11-minute episodes and it works as either a follow up to the first volume or as a place to start. This release was my first exposure to the program and I had no trouble getting into this madcap comedy series, which is clearly designed to be viewed and enjoyed in just about any order at all.

Everything about Uncle Grandpa is deliberately and relentlessly bizarre, as if the titular character and everything to do with him were a figment of somebody’s mad fever dream. Cinderella had a fairy godmother, but Uncle Grandpa takes the concept into overdrive: he’s the magical uncle and grandpa to everybody and trucks around with his motley crew of companions: the walking and talking dinosaur Mr. Gus; the cheerful, talking bottomless container Belly Bag; the egotistical sentient pizza slice Pizza Steve; and occasional mount Giant Realistic Flying Tiger. Together they cruise the open road in Uncle Grandpa’s RV, seeking out children with problems to solve. Since Uncle Grandpa’s idea of helping usually involves some type of adventure with a lesson in mind and he seems capable of warping reality as he sees fit, wherever he goes hilarity and misadventures likely won’t be far behind.

Uncle Grandpa Good Mornin' DVDAt least, that’s the working premise. Very often an episode is entirely dedicated to Uncle Grandpa and company just living their not-so-normal everyday lives, and the results are mixed. These efforts are successful when they’re allowed to ultimately spin out of control into a “freewheeling sense of madness,” to borrow a phrase from our own Ed Liu, as is the case in the episodes “Locked Out” and “Bad Morning.” “Locked Out” sees the gang trying to deal with a new security system for the RV that goes haywire, trapping Uncle Grandpa inside while keeping his pals out. Things soon escalate to an all-out battle against the RV and its literal giant arms, a race against time to save the planet from the mother of all self-destruct fail-safes, and Uncle Grandpa’s pals successfully wishing for a duplicate of himself to help them save the day. Hey, it’s magic. Why not? “Bad Morning” represents a change a pace when the gang have to manage Uncle Grandpa in a spectacularly bad mood, all because some shenanigans from Pizza Steve result in him getting up on the wrong side of the bed. The only way out is to coax him back to sleep, which is easier said than done when you’re traveling at breakneck speed!

The everyday episodes, however, tend to be less good when they rely upon interplay among the characters to carry them. “Bezt Friends” and “Hide and Seek” essentially depend on the same recurring joke that Uncle Grandpa can be astonishingly oblivious and dim-witted, and the punchline is overused. It’s one thing for a character’s personality flaws and quirks to cause or contribute problems that need solving, but excessive stupidity as humor is something else and it got stale on ostensibly “adult” animated comedies years ago. A G-rated version of this is more tiresome than anything.

Uncle Grandpa Good Mornin' DVDFortunately, there are some standout episodes that do a stellar job of highlighting the show’s quirky nature. The most offbeat episode of the disc has to be “The History of Wrestling,” which chucks any semblance of formula out the window in favor of Uncle Grandpa and Pizza Steve inexplicably facing off as rival wrestlers with television coverage serving as the dominant point of view for the episode. It’s every bit as ridiculous as it sounds, and deserves extra credit for giving Pizza Steve some comeuppance, considering how his entire schtick is that he tries too hard to sound smarter and savvier than he really is, and often gets away with it.

But my favorites are definitely “Grounded” and “Aunt Grandma”, where children are actually brought into the mix. “Grounded” involves a nasty brat seemingly conning Uncle Grandpa into getting him out of the house so he can escape his father’s punishment and attend a party, only to get some just desserts for his dishonesty when Uncle G and company crash it. Meanwhile “Aunt Grandma” brings us the out-of-nowhere introduction of the titular character, who’s does her best to beat Uncle Grandpa at his own game by giving children gifts instead of any adventures, good advice or any kind of lesson. Uncle Grandpa is left trying to build character in his own strange and roundabout ways while she’s offering instant gratification, easy answers and no weirdness, and it’s a peak example of conflict in the show. That it all climaxes with hilariously absurd brawl is gravy.

All in all I find Uncle Grandpa to be a hit-or-miss show, which is good in a way since this keeps one guessing on what hijinks will be in store next. I just wish it didn’t bank so much on its relentless barrage of weirdness winning viewers over, as I can personally only take so much of that at once and I can’t help but miss the depth of Cartoon Network’s sterling shows Adventure Time and Steven Universe when watching it. Still, for those in search of a smile and some casual entertainment, Uncle Grandpa gets the job done.
