Review: Royal Crackers “Casa de Darby”

Overview

The Hornsbys head to Burbank, Calif., when Stebe lands Royal Crackers, a lucrative brand integration deal with a very popular Latin American sitcom “Casa De Papa.”

Our Take

Ugh…this one hurt…as in my sides are hurting due to the amount of laughing I did on this week’s episode of Royal Crackers. I don’t even know which premise I loved more because the episode was pure excellence. Is it the Home Alone love note starring Darby? Or the fact that the Hornsbys got a taste of show biz? Hell, I think the show even stumbled upon a spin-off with Casa De Papa. We also stumble upon a new time machine with Theo’s chalice, a premise for an episode BEGGING to be made.

Royal Crackers is heading near the end of it’s first season, and there’s gonna be more competition coming, but I’m not sure I see anyone beating this in our end of year list for best new animated comedy. It will be close, but there’s just SO MUCH going on in each half hour. From sight gags, movie inspirations, we even went on a five-minute tirade on McDonald’s that needs to be heard by every living soul imaginable.

What’s not lost on me at all is that the voice of Comedy Central, David Gborie, is voicing Darby who is only getting increasingly more off-kilter with each passing episode. Let’s add in the fact that “Matt” only shows up for half a second and still almost steals the episode. Casa De Papa was great also, and I just can’t say enough about this show. Adult Swim even uploaded a bunch of episodes on YouTube so if you haven’t had a chance to see it, please do so there, it’s worth it.
