DVD Reviews of Squidbillies, Vol. 2DVD Review: Brilliant
Even though I have the same hair style as he does, Early (and probably even Granny and Rusty Cuyler) would surely hate me on sight, and probably deep-fry me at the first opportunity, to be dipped in hot sauce for a nice snack. I'm an oversized, 58 year old Chalkie male AND A YANKEE. Worse, I'm from California. I've never watched Adult Swim, but I love the Squidbillies anyway. It began with my fascination with cephalopods. I have a library of invertibrate zoology books (Sorry, Early) and documentary videos on squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish. I admit that the fact that the Squidbillies is about squids is what made me check it out in the first place. Bud strangely enough, in my view, one indication of the show's brilliance is that it would be almost as funny if they WEREN'T squids. It would hardly make a difference. The animation is better than any I've ever seen... beautiful, fresh, lively and free... not to mention FUNNY. And yet another indication of its brilliance is that Squidbillies would be ALMOST as funny even without that killer animation. I know because I often LISTEN to show without watching it... still brilliant. Listening without watching allows one to focus on WHAT's being said and HOW it's being said. For me, it's about the voice characterizations and the writing. What can one say about the richness of the Cuylers as fully developed literary characters, who are rarely predictable, yet they are always true to their complex natures and their well developed family history going back for generations... and what can one say about the natural voice characterizations of Early, Granny, Crystal, Lil and all the rest? Brilliant! I am in awe of the performers... and of the consistently killer writing... the stuccato pacing... the irresistable bad taste... It makes me a little bit sad, because I doubt that I will ever be as delighted and blown away again as I have been by Squidbillies. As soon as I discovered them, I bought all three volumes from Amazon and I have been watching them over and over since they arrived. All three volumes are spectacular. Somehow on every episode Team Squidbillies manages to remain relevant, current, original, fresh and even lovable and endearing. I've pre-ordered Volume Four, and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival. My dream is that Fortier and Willis will publish a book of episode scripts. Things move so fast on the show that it is impossible to savor that brilliant writing. I want to study it at leisure. Experiencing the Squidbillies is like having ol' Trixie (from the Jiggle Hut),along with Lil, Krystal, and Ruby Jean surround you, flip you over, and give you a whole string of rapidfire Tuscaloosa Dumplings. Nobody knows for sure what a Tuscaloosa Dumpling really is, but according to Lil Cuyler, its inventor, "it's a twist on the classic Cherokee Chin Strap. You top it off with a Montgomery Monkey Tail, and then you finish her with a Gravy Chaser." Early disputes this, pointing out that he always thought "it was when a man gives the woman a little Memphis Mouthwash and simultaneously she administers the Birmingham Blister right on the bridge of his nose." Granny corrects both of them, asserting that the woman gives the man a Biloxi Blister, not a Birmingham Blister. When both Early and Lil reply that it's the same thing, Granny regulates on them, saying indignantly "Well, I'm from the Old School, where it is NOT the same thing. If you don't see a little cartilage, you ain't even IN Biloxi. And I'm sorry, but Birmingham ain't no fun for nobody." Now that's Americana!
