    Yep, agreed with all that.

    It’s definitely weird hearing the blue guys’ lines coming from modern over-enthusiastic voice actors. In my mind I guess I always imagined them talking like Coneheads or robotic munchkins of some sort.

    I thought the point was to laugh at the world from an Asperger’s-y perspective pushed out to absurdity, because when you step back for a second our human habits and rituals really are goddamn bizarre. So hearing those observations not in some calculated alien monotone but rather fully dynamic cartoon pitches feels somehow jarring to me. Maybe I’ll get over it though.

    But yeah. Congrats to Nathan for sure. Tiny trash! 🎉

      Well, I think Dan Harmon being involved means it probably has at least a little bit of that absurdity still.

      Well, it worked for 3rd Rock from the Sun. I see it as the outsider perspective which can be a plentiful source of material.
