Shin Chin Season 3

It’s almost impossible to explain what happens in any given episode of this hilarious anime series. Think of Eric Cartman cranked up to 11 and you’ve got an idea of the attitude of the lead character, a small boy with a bad attitude and a penchant for dropping his pants and adding his butt dance just for the hell of it (he never needs a reason). Foul as he is, though Shin’s antics often pale in comparison to the things the adult characters in the show say and do. It’s rude and crude, but it’s also one of the smartest comedies out there today, because  the show’s creators seem to have a sixth sense about pacing each episode perfectly: Just when you start to realize an episode doesn’t have a point, Shin looks at you through the camera and apologizes for the show not havng any point. Spooky.
