Superjail!

Superjail is Adult Swim’s cartoon show about life in the world’s most Wonka-esque penitentiary. Jackknife, the recidivist criminal, is on the loose! Good thing Jail-bot is always there to beat him into submission and drag him back home to Superjail. When they get there, the Warden (David Wain) is always starting some crazy scheme. A scheme that’ll be a blast for him, cause his assistant, Jared (Teddy Cohn), to have a panic attack, allow guard Alice (Christy Karacas) to do a lot of damage, and mean death and dismemberment for the entire Superjail population. At its heart, Superjail is eleven minutes of pure, unadulterated, psychedelic violence. The show is produced by Augenblick Studios in Brooklyn, NY, a company known for shocking cartoons (teaming up with PFFR to make Wonder Showzen just a few years earlier). Considering the quality of animation and the show’s low budget, it is a masterpiece. Combining reeling storylines and insane visuals, Superjail is perfect for the adult swim line-up, and will surely be giving asthma attacks to nerds for years to come. MORE
