Did you guys ever heard of a cartoon named "The Grim adventures of Billy & Mandy"? How was it to you? Funny right? My mom won't let me watch this kind of cartoon when I was still a kid. It is because of the characters kept on swearing onto each other. Well, that's all in the past. It is not wrong to like this kind of cartoon right? This cartoon gets surreal and disturbing time to time, but one of my favorite jabs at comedy is twisted humor and that genre is greatly explored in this cartoon.
The opening theme picture
Our story follows a pessimistic girl named Mandy, her optimistic best
friend named Billy, and the Grim Reaper himself, simply titled Grim.
After losing in a limbo contest, Grim would be forced to be Billy and
Mandy’s best friend for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, Grim is
the one who has to suffer between Mandy’s constant abuse and Billy’s
utter stupidity. Poor soul. Even with a large cast of characters, I
can’t really think of any I particularly dislike. There’s plenty of
funny side characters, such as the elephant-demon Fred Fredburger, an
exterminator named Hoss Delgado, and retired villain General Skarr, who
originally debuted in Evil Con Carne. But my favorite character
comes from the main cast; Grim. While threatening and generally coming
off as the ultimate evil, Grim is kind of the everyman. You root for him
because, though he is immoral, you can see how much he suffers around
the two kids. Not that it makes Billy or Mandy unlikable characters, but
you can sympathize with Grim because you know what he goes through. He
does get wrapped up with the morbid jokes on occasions, but it just adds
more humor to his character.

I consider to be Grim Adventures to be one of Cartoon Network’s
greatest. Instead of focusing on depth and coherent story, it focused
solely on humor, and it couldn’t have done it any better.
