They revived The Critic in a series of webisodes, and they didn't do too well, so it's best this show just stay dead (or at least air in reruns on Crackle).
MADtv did a "Dennis the Menace"/"Menace II Society" mash-up also. It was about Mr. Wilson pushing crank and Dennis being his innocently destructive self...until the fake funeral at the end. Coincidentally, both had drive-by shooting scenes.
Just watched The Silence of the Lambs and had to find Honey I Ate the Kids immediately. Clarice's annoyed tone of voice gets me every time: "Did you eat the kids *again*?" XD
I really want to see the live action version of Dennis The Menace: To Society. CGI has improved so much since the 1990's that I genuinely think you could make an awesome Thriller/Crime movie and have it parody the original cartoon. I mean cmon we already have The Fresh Prince with no laugh track and Archie banging Mrs. Grundy while people in Riverdale are murdering their moms in real life, so I think a gritty Dennis the Menace should be the next thing to hit the scripts.
3:18 - 3:38/ Dear God, I lost it when they spoofed both SPARTACUS and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Just seeing Kirk Douglas hopping on that cross...🤣🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂📽😎
I think the exact opposite, is pretty dumb actually. If it had decent writers it would have been really funny, but all their jokes were extremely middle of the road. Even the episode where they parody Orson Welles have him use basic vocabulary, when he was a very eloquent person; went to show how limited the writers were.
Nah. Even though I like The Critic, the problem with it was it's lack of good supporting characters. Duke Philips was well done but everyone else was one-note.
I definitely would love to see them do a live action movie for the critic. now if they had the right people to play the right characters and the right script, then only it could come out to be a perfect movie and a good one at that.
Eh, the reason The Critic is still good, is because it did not go on too long, until the old team of writers left and some newer, worse team came in and changed the show into something terrible. Or it just goes on too long, and they run out of good ideas so they just make things zany to pretend it's actual comedy. Ala The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and many more show that were once great, but then fell into a pit as they were on decades longer than they should have been. As such, I think that any modern media company that took on The Critic for a reboot or movie or what have you, would screw it up and taint the memory and legacy of the show,, because they turned it into abject garbage. So I guess, we should be careful what we wish for. We just might get it, and it might not be anything like what we thought we wanted.
It was created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss. They wanted to make a show as far away from the Simpsons as possible. It was also the first non-family animated show to be aired in primetime.
Yes, it did. James L. Brooks, Al Jean, and Mike Reiss were showrunners and the writers who worked on The Critic later on ended up writing for The Simpsons (and the two other Matt Groening cartoons, Futurama and Disenchantment): Ken Keeler (the same one who wrote that Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner reveals that he's really a man named Armin Tamzarian), Patric M. Verrone (who became head of the Writers Guild of America, western division), and some other ones I can't name because I forgot. Though I do know that Judd Apatow (the guy who created Knocked Up and Superbad) started out here.
Brown Acres was one of my favorite parodies. "Sand spreading out so hot and white... the temperature's 105 at night!" Reminds me of my time living in Las Vegas.
"Dennis The Menace II Society" always cracks me up!
Dennis sounds like Martin Prince from the Simpsons.....
He's a menace I tell you, a menace!
their was uk version of Dennis the menace
"That kid's a pain in the ass !" LOL
MADtv stole that joke for a sketch, by the way.
The idea of a horde of intelligent raptors building a crude suspension bridge is hilarious enough on its own.
I'm convinced the best sequel to Jurassic Park would be a twist that they're intelligent because of all the modifications made to them, so... 😂
@@SuperODST1 "Get your hands off me you damn dirty raptor!"
Lmao
Part of me wants to see a reboot of the critic but I think we have had enough of reboots for one lifetime.
one lifetime? kind of lowballing it a bit don't you think?
What are you? a cat? How Many lifetimes do you have

djmars1983 maybe another season if this show becomes successful on Netflix.
"I could have not foreseen that."
Perfect.
Cameron Macdonald 😂🤣😂🤣
Your classic French film cliché!
What's hilarious about The Silence of The Lambs parody is it's actually accurate regarding what happens in Thomas Harris's Hannibal.
Bonus goes to Siskel and Ebert for actually voicing themselves.
The JP II parody with the refined raptors was one of those bits that stayed locked in my head for years; it was just so delightfully stupid.
😂lol prime comedy.
"Dennis The Menace II Society": You really had to be there in the mid 90s to realize how easy that joke is.
"That kid's a pain in the ass!"

Jurassic Park 2. Wow, that just kills me.
Except were they crash into windows.
Better than the actual JP 2
When they did the parody, they thought the idea of a sequel to Jurassic Park was so ridiculous as to be funny.
I wish it played the full clip of Red Balloon 2 with Steven Seagull’s part. “I don’t know what’s full of more hot air: that red balloon, or you.”
And they didn't show the musical number from "Rabbi, P.I." either.
Just watched The Silence of the Lambs and had to find Honey I Ate the Kids immediately. Clarice's annoyed tone of voice gets me every time: "Did you eat the kids *again*?" XD
Again?

Have you ever watched Dennis and Gnasher?
@@Sonicandlaytonfan No, no one in America has watched Dennis and Gnasher!
@@ryandevan2793 well one of the shows was on Discovery Family back when it was called the Hub. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
3:18 - 3:38/ Dear God, I lost it when they spoofed both SPARTACUS and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Just seeing Kirk Douglas hopping on that cross...🤣🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂📽😎
We all wanted that as kids!
Notice how there's no Sam Neil in Jurassic Park 2, just like in real life!
2:28 “sorry, that’s not kosher.”
*kosha
Hava Nagila, Baby!
Dennis the menace 2 society got me😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss this show! It was so funny. I hate to sound like a snob, but I think it was too smart for a lot of people.
I think the exact opposite, is pretty dumb actually. If it had decent writers it would have been really funny, but all their jokes were extremely middle of the road. Even the episode where they parody Orson Welles have him use basic vocabulary, when he was a very eloquent person; went to show how limited the writers were.
underrated vs simpspns and familu guy
I agree wholeheartedly!
Nah. Even though I like The Critic, the problem with it was it's lack of good supporting characters. Duke Philips was well done but everyone else was one-note.
That tragically demonstrates how badly contemporary comedy has declined.
"Hey Cheif. How'd you get this pillow case so freakin' white?"
I use Phillips brand detergent! You'd have to be cuckoo not to use it!
the spartacus one cracked me up
Maurice you've got to stop making every character sound like Father/Michaelangelo! Maurice: What about Orson Welles?
Then let’s rock and roll!!
1:41 the funny thing is they actually used this trick in the fallen kingdom sequel
Excuse me sir. The show is over.
I'm stuck in the chair!
But I got nowhere to go.
The 'red' balloon becomes the 'dead' balloon....i friggin' love it.
Crazy that the Critic predicted talking raptors in the Jurassic park franchise
This show should come back for Jay Sherman can rip on modern movies
Siskel and Ebert- perfect way to end it.
all I remember him saying was "buy my book... buy my book... buy my book... "
So many forgotten. Forrest Gump 2: Gump Harder, True Lies 2...
You know you are officially old when you get all of the references in this.
I definitely would love to see them do a live action movie for the critic. now if they had the right people to play the right characters and the right script, then only it could come out to be a perfect movie and a good one at that.
Unfortunately the critic can't exist without Jon Lovitz, it just wouldn't be right but I'd settle for series revival. Such an underappreciated show.

its better as a cartoon
This show was ahead of it's time! I miss it!
Man how did this show only last 2 seasons. Looks well written and animated. SMH.
Because it was intelligent comedy?
And that's how Karl Pilkington came to be
Impossible, the head of a raptor looks nothing like a perfect orange.
Is that bad guy in the revenge of the red balloon supposed to be Alan Rickman?
I was thinking Hugo Weaving, but I re-watched it, and your instinct might have been better.
100% Alan Rickman
The Slide Whistle
1:55 I assume this is the origin of Philosiraptor?
I miss this show
1:54 Makes me laugh when "The Big One" is smiling saying " But perhaps I've said too much!" cuz y'know he's gonna off' them!
Would love to see this show rip into superhero movies of today.
That Smokey and the Bandit bit LOL
honey i ate the kids makes me laugh every time
NOBODY GETS AWAY FROM CENTURION BUFORD C. AUGUSTUS!
The Spartacus parody is amazing
I *really* want to see Bob & Carol & Beavis & Butt-head and Hee-Haw: The Next Generation.
The slide whistle one had me dying!
I love you, Spartacus!
The "that's the meat thermometer" woman got voiced by Nancy Cartwright.
That's Kath Soucie.
Boy that Dennis is sure is a menace.
Why isn't Al Jean reviving The Critic, rather than destroying what's left of The Simpsons?
1:19: Pretty much what happens if UK Dennis visits Mr. Wilson.
Dennis the Menace from Dennis the Menace got voiced by Russi Taylor in the 1st season 2 episode of The Critic.
Lol make 'em bacon
Brown Acres😂😂😂I LOVE this show
Dennis I'm a menace
Saw the avgn use that clip
Spartacus was also Spartacus in Pinky and the Brain. The same guy The voice Spartacus in this was also Spartacus in an episode of Pinky and the Brain.
Sounds like Maurice LaMarche who was also the voice of Brain.
Well, IS the snack bar still open?
Starless Trooper Not since Jay entered the building.
Did this show and The Simpsons had some of the same writers?? I find their humor styles very similar
Mauricio Berlanga from what I remember I think it was one of the main headwriters of the simpsons left the simpsons to create this show
It was created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss. They wanted to make a show as far away from the Simpsons as possible. It was also the first non-family animated show to be aired in primetime.

DG nope. Capitol Critters predates The Critic and trust me, that was no kids show.
“Oh no. Promotheus.”
“ProMEtheus!”
“Son… you got a date with Mr.Smucker” is underrated line 😂
Smokey and the Spartacus!
1:20 childhood in the hood be like...
Did you spend your childhood shooting random people?
1:23 I always thought that the "break yourself fool!" line from Boyz in the Hood should have been said there.
1:54 Jurassic world fallen kingdom
I hired Mr Pilkington when I lived in Venezuela and regretted ever since.
Yee haw the next generation with Jim Carry has Charlton Heston singing about cold dead hands
Maurice Lamarche's voices in these trailers are hilarious
“Then let’s rock and roll!”
I was kind of hoping "Home Alone 12" was going to be in here.
2:19 Is ANYTHING safe from DeviantArt?
This sounds so much like COCONUT SONG
The fact that she said “Did you eat the kids again?”
The show was so underrated .
I love you, Sparticus.
I'd like a camel that can catch frisbees...
"I shall take oddjobs under the name Pilkington." He later got surgery to make his head completely round and took the first name Karl.
Childhood classic 😂😅😀😃😄
Dennis the Menace II Society is still my favorite
Mr. Pilkington is a very smart raptor.
1:54 so this is origin of philosoraptor, very nice...
I'd watch all of these movies!
Nope. Ike Turner in "What's Truth Got to Do With It" was the best.
2:40 Dose Rabbi Pi not existed?
Oh, it was called Kindergarten Cop
1:15 Explains the downfall of Detroit pretty well
Mr. Pilkington voiced by the great Gerritt Graham
2:46 I would pay to see this
Whoever wrote Jurassic World Dominion stole the plot from The Critics parody of JP2
I wish they bring this show back. Even if they do trump jokes it's better then most of the crap on tv today
2:48 sounds like Kif Kroker
AVGN brought me at 1:18
That velociraptor wouldn't want to build a bridge to Venezuela today that's for damn sure.
1:23 where the hell did he get the duel uzi?!!!!!!!
the nurse is freaking hot
Centurion Bufford C Augustus 😅
Where's 'Speed Reading'!?
Spartacus sounds like Father from KND.
What is this show. How can i watch the whole show?
It's called The Critic, and good luck googling it.
A show from 90's HBO, that's why few people know about it.
Most, if not all, the episodes are on UA-cam. It's called The Critic. Enjoy.
@@RandalfElVikingo it was actually on ABC and FOX
They are all on UA-cam
Jurassic Park was the birth of philosopher raptor
Brown Acres
Brown Acres was one of my favorite parodies. "Sand spreading out so hot and white... the temperature's 105 at night!"
Reminds me of my time living in Las Vegas.
Where’s the home alone one
Fucking Alan Rickman.
