Overview

The team heads to beautiful Primm, Nev. to attend the “Super Bowl for global snack food companies” CrackerCon.

Our Take

I was ready to write off this episode as “cliche” given the premise because just about every animated comedy has done a convention episode nowadays, but then the climax kicks in, and I’m right back at proclaiming this series the best new animated comedy of 2023.

Theo’s bit about finding a long lost stripper was really only made funny when the Durst-wannabe got his ass handed to him courtesy of a baseball bat-wielding strip club owner, but everything about what was going on inside of the convention was money. From the cracker-shooting Tommy gun, to the raging battle sequence, to anytime Andy Daly’s “Dennison” shows up to nearly steal every scene he’s in, Royal Crackers knows how to take a tired premise, add salt, and give me quite a few punches to the gut.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we need a comic book of Stebe’s new superhero alter-ego yesterday.
