MIB The Series

Because I only just rediscovered this fantastic gem of a goddamn awesome cartoon and so should you.

The plot:

It's Men in Black. Seriously if I have to explain this to you get out. No, get on going. You don't belong here.

Why you should watch this?

Because it's an amazingly funny, witty and well-voiced series which delivers on the action and suspense in some episodes. Also animated Tommy Lee Jones (I guess for one season only before they changed his character design, but it's bloody worth it).

Plus it's just cool.

I mean c'mon, check out this slick opening:

Hell they even made the noisy cricket a badass gun, turning it from this:

NoisyCricket254x173.jpg

into this

cricketsilencer.jpg

Hell two episodes revolve around super powers: The first involving them getting the powers from an intergalactic product that you'd find an alien Billy Mays to be peddling while the second episode has J become a human swiss army knife. This is reaon enough alone to sift through Youtube.

It even has

and

themessage210-crop.jpg

as series regulars.

Altogether it's a badass show about guys is suits catching aliens, having awesome car, supercar, hover bike, helicopter and space ship chases, laying down the law Earth-style, saving the planet, saving Santa Claus, solving political disputes with baseball, cheerleaders and gun fights also fucking freeze rays. Did you hear me? Did I stutter? Freeze. Rays.

Find the episodes, watch the shit out of the entire series, go to the bathroom, contact loved ones, then watch the shit out of it again.

If you've just read all this but for some godawful reason have decided not to watch this series, well...

    Oh yes this show was incredible.

    The one where Kay and that alien have the shootout but they knock each other out every time over and over is great.

    It was one of the few movies where I could quite honestly say 'the funny parts were all in the trailer' and be completely accurate, at least from my viewpoint.

    I have only seen the first movie. I guess the comics are supposed to be good, and that show looks interesting. The art is awkward looking though.

    The second movie was lacking. It felt like there was a big gap where it left off from the first film.

    It was like they tried to fill the gap with second rate cream and the said cream turned to crap.

    It's sad that this show is so awesome and the MIB-2 movie sucked. I find some sort of ironic twist in that. It felt like tommy and will just didn't care about their roles in the second film.

    MiB2 is nowhere near as bad as some of you are making out. Yes, it's worse than the first film. But it's still fun to watch.

    Honestly, if you liked the first movie you should like the second one, too. Just a little less.

    Because after the first half hour it's the same movie.

    I loved the cartoon. The animation is weird but not in a bad way, in my opinion.
