Overview
The Hornsby family attends a deviant billionaire’s annual yacht party, which is reserved exclusively for the .1% richest billionaires in the world.
Our Take
Ah yes, the obligatory animated diss at the richest people in the world. Almost a trope unto itself, Royal Crackers checks in with its take on the subject but splices it with an out-of-control Spider-Man-inspired climax. For me, I’m a sucker for Stebe’s one-liners spinning a web of nonsense meant to fool an unsuspecting clientele that is just hankering to feed outsiders to hungry sharks (the whole shark attack scene is beyond brutal), and I’m not so sure if we didn’t have a slightly longer episode that Matt would not have hooked up with a cyborg.
The number of humorous violent sequences is starting to put Royal Crackers into a different category that I wasn’t expecting. Glory hole amputations, deadly elevators, and even more racial miscasting (fine with me) courtesy of Stephanie Sheh kind of make this franchise a throwback of sorts when people didn’t give a fuck when making cartoons. The show even LOOKS like Beavis and Butt-Head which makes sense when you consider Titmouse produces both series, and now I’m begging for a crossover.
As Adult Swim readies another new franchise in the form of Unicorn Warriors Warriors Eternal later this week, it will be interesting to see how the network wants to brand itself. Is the future in-line with the more dramatic affair or will the tried and true comedy win out. Rick and Morty’s best days will be behind it officially if the network continues on the show without Justin Roiland despite the creator’s innocence, perhaps another FOX Inkubation alumnus has enough to help the network shoulder on for another ten years.
