Main cast: Amir Blumenfeld (Leo), Jake Hurtwitz (Ben), Tom Kenny (Turtle), Megan Koester (Nurse Bee), Vince Pisani (Doctor), and Ashani Roberts (Ruby)
Director: Bobcat Goldthwait

Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld look like they can barely contain their laughter while filming their scenes. Either the script or their improvised lines or whatever are so hilarious and I am missing the point, or they all took something that may be illegal where they are to keep themselves from feeling the pain of having to film this episode. The script makes references to Snow—yes, the Informer one-hit wonder—and I can only think that maybe Bobcat Goldthwait is only a successful comedian when his audience comprises folks that have never moved past that one single moment in the 1990s, when they feel that they are at the peak of their lives and it had been downhill fast ever since.

Perhaps that explains The Buzzkill, a bizarre, painfully awkward “comedy” revolving around a guy that quits his failure of a “band” (more like a duo) only have an accident and star in an animated cartoon about bees and… oh god, maybe I need some magic mushrooms myself.

The whole thing plays out like some cartoon show for kids, only there is some mature humor here suggesting that Mr Goldthwait is trying to prove to Adult Swim that he too could do that cartoons for grown-ups thing. Only, his painfully dated and awkward brand of humor leaves the show coming off like the flailing duck that drowned instead of the little engine that could.

At any rate, this is the last episode of the first season, and with no season two in sight, this is likely the final episode forever. Hallelujah and thank the lord, and I’m now off to watching something else that won’t make me cringe from start to finish.
