The Fuccons (aka Oh! Mikey) started off as a skit on a Japanese variety show called Vermilion Pleasure Night (which I will review at a later date). The idea is to use mannequins as live action actors, and inserting the Fuccons, your average, deliriously happy American family into suburban Japan.
The main character is Mikey, a happy-go-lucky, and fairly dumb grade school boy, parented by James and Barbara (who reek of infidelity and other shenanigans). The show comes in 5 minute skits that keep the whole family laughing, and laughing, and oh why won't they stop laughing?!?
I picked up volume 0 from a Media Play that was closing down. The American voice actors couldn't have been more perfect, and I prefer to hear it in English (after all, they are American). Each episode is filled with hilarious situations, including a sexy session with a sexier tutor, a hostage negotiation to get Mikey to drink his milk, and MURDER! (well, maybe not on this volume).
I give it a 5/10 for action, 8/10 for hilarity, and 9/10 for fun.
