The Fuccons
The Fuccons: Meet the Fuccons Written by Andromeda “Meet the Fuccons, a typical 2 ½ person family inexplicably transported to the land of the rising sun. Okay, maybe they’re not perfect: Dad is a bit stiff and wooden, Mom is plastic and empty headed and Mikey’s… well, Mike’s just a little dummy. But when it comes to standing firm in the face of this new and alien environment, the family that’s made together stays together, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Fuccons are as thick skinned, rigid and inflexible as they come.” You’ll love them! Or so they say. After watching the first episode, I said, “Oh please make it stop!” No, I needed to watch more in order to get a good feel of the series so I could write this review. After watching, oh, a good handful of episodes, I came to a decision. This sucks. There’s no plot, there’s nothing to look forward to for the next episode. It’s like looking at a picture and hearing someone talk over your shoulder. It’s like a Mentos commercial, leaving you thinking or even saying, WTF? Other than there being pretty much no story, there’s the mannequins. Okay, I could see mannequins being used. But to use the same mannequinsin the same poses with the same facial expressions for everything? They aren’t funny. The dialogue isn’t even funny. And it’s supposed to be a comedy! I even tried watching it in Japanese with the subtitles on. Still, nothing that made me laugh like all the other reviews said it would. Maybe it’s just me though. I’m sure there are lots of people out there who will like it… but I can’t see why they would. There’s not much I can say about it, to be honest. It was just.... empty.
