Okay, we told you they’re sick, and we’re not talking about a hospital show. The Oblongs…isn’t for everyone. Might be peachy for you though.Welcome to the toxic, twisted world of the Oblongs, a perversely funny, satirical animated series inspired by characters in Angus Oblong’s book Creepy Susie and a regular denizen of Cartoon Network’s [adult swim].
With laser-sharp wit, maladjusted matriarch Pickles Oblong, her irrepressibly sunny husband Bob and their brood of oddities Biff, Chip, Milo and Beth gleefully cope with their shortcomings while dealing with indignities of being “different” in a “normal” world. The Oblongs are not so much dysfunctional as slightly nonfunctional. Living next to a polluted swamp has left them with the occasional missing limb or mysterious growth, but through it all, this close-knit family sticks together. Sometimes literally.
The Oblongs stars Will Ferrell (Saturday Night Live, Eastbound & Down), Jean Smart (Designing Women, Kim Possible), Pamela Adlon (King of the Hill, Californication), Maurice LaMarche (Pinky and the Brain, Futurama), Billy West (Futurama, The Ren & Stimpy Show), and Laraine Newman (Histeria!, Saturday Night Live).
The Oblongs originally aired on the WB but are more popularly known as an Adult Swim series as the show finished its run on the fledgling network and is today still seen in reruns.

Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
