At the end of this episode, 1.8 Dream Machine, a man gets up off the ground after a bad 'dream' and puts on his top hat. He is in a purple suit which looks like a tux and red glasses. He looks a lot to me like Doctor Demento. I don't see him in the credits. This is the only live action part of the video that I see.

Overall, this cartoon has a flavor of something from MTV in their Beevis and Butthead days. It seems a little pointless, and although full of graphic violence, there is no sense that any of it is real.

The full context of Superjail is that a warden hopes to avoid a riot by monitoring the inmates' dreams. This episode appears to be the dreams of the man in purple, though I am not sure who he is. Again, he does look much like Doctor Demento.

Just saw the film and I enjoyed how the layers were pulled back one at a time, until all the links were shown. I originally thought the unique characters of Cletis and Duke were there just to add flavor, but then they turned out to be more vital. And the understated approach of not stating outright that Jo Jo and Ping Pong were being hired to kill "Papi" left me feeling that the movie did not take our intelligence for granted, but assumed that the viewer is smart enough to figure it out. Denis Leary is funny, but I liked the supporting cast just as much. Without them, this funny comedy would have been pretty flat.

Oh, and what is with Duke looking and sounding like Vanilla Ice?? Even to the shaved eyebrows and the slicked up hair :)
