Oh Mikey! (2002–2005)
10/10
Quick and Painful(ly hilarious)
8 May 2006
This show, a collection of two-to-three minute vignettes, is a strikingly hilarious satire of American culture. It's from the viewpoint of an American family of mannequins who move to Japan, and stereotypes ensue. The directors guarantee that every episode ends in uproarious laughter. Originally conceived as a bit on late-night TV (kind of like how "The Simpsons" got their start), it has grown to cult status among the faithful. From the day they move to Japan, to the day they meet Mikey's hesitant teacher, to the day Mikey saves his parents by drinking his milk, the plot is quick and witty.

For anyone who enjoys anything Japanese, or anything funny for that matter, I highly recommend "Oh Mikey!" (aka "The Fuccons") for your viewing pleasure.
