Summary: THIS DVD ROCKS
Review: Great animations from Spike and Mike's show. Good stuff from Bill Plymoton and Happy Tree Friends and the kick ass classic Bambi Meets Godzilla!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I can only guess the positive reviews listed here were written either by children or employees of this DVD's distributor.

I've been involved with independent animation for over thirty years and this is a very desperate "scraping the bottom of the barrel" collection indeed - only one or two of the pieces here are worthwhile, and are available on far higher quality collections elsewhere (in terms of video and audio quality).

The rest of the pieces are subpar, barely-animated Flash cartoons that most websites would be embarrassed to host for free.

The DVD is also very poorly produced and has no extras.

1/5

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best one yet
Review: I don't usually like cartoons, but this one really had some very funny bits. There was some real violent skits called Happy Tree Friends that was very witty. Can't wait for the next one, Unprotected - I'll tell you all how it is.

Summary: You will either love it or hate it.
Review: If South Park, Beavis and Butthead, Futurama, and other similar
animated video is your sort of preference, then Spike and Mike's
films will certainly be worth watching.

If not, do not bother. You will not understand the humour. :)
It has 'twisted' in the title for very good reasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good stuff!
Review: Nobody by Spike and Mike continues to push the boundaries and offend and please at the same time. I liked Full Frontal and felt it offers a lot of the strong animators and cult favorites out there.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dismal, even for fans of Spike and Mike : (
Review: Spike and Mike have been really going downhill in recent years. This very poor and sloppily-made DVD leaves little hope for their future. I was extremely disappointed and a bit angry with this purchase.

I imagine the only reason anyone would want to buy this DVD is for the classic cartoon, "Rejected" - unfortunately the picture and sound quality on this DVD is extremely poor, as it looks like Spike and Mike cheaply copied this film from a murky VHS tape rather than using any real 35mm materials. If "Rejected" is what you're after on DVD, it goes without saying you'd be better off with the crystal-clear, official remastered version of it available directly from the filmmakers at Bitter Films - the difference in quality is night and day.

The other cartoons here are terrible, and most are surprisingly nothing more than poor Flash animations that are already available for free on the internet. None of them are particularly "sick" nor "twisted", either. They are however, universally boring.

My final complaint is that there are no extras. None. There is barely even a menu. What's the point of making a DVD at all if it's got VHS picture and sound quality and has no extras?? Spike and Mike are trying to make another quick buck here by essentially selling us a video tape in a DVD shell. Don't give it to them.

Summary: This one is for the ages
Review: The second dvd in the sick and twisted collection is one of the best dvd's i ever bought. It has it all, maakies, Happy tree friends, and the tripped out horned grandma. Clocking in under 2 Hrs this is defenaty a party dvd to show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I THOUGHT IT WAS DAMN GOOD....GET IT
Review: This is the first time i had seen any of Spike and Mike's collections...and i damn near shat myself. I thought it was the most original innovative animation i have ever seen. Full Frontal starts off with three beautifully rendered "Happy Tree Friends" episodes...cute and gory. "Choke Spot Choke" was so hilarious (with the rhyming theme of the "Dick and Jane" stories)."Horned Grandma" wasn't animated, but it was still really cool. "Maakies"...awesome. I had seen this short on SNL alot and had always wanted to be able to watch it over and over. It was hilarious to see two comfy reclining chairs having sex in "Roofsex." "Pickle's Day Out" was a cool religious allegory. "Rejected", which was supposed to air on Adult Swim, was by far my favorite. "Beyond Grandpa" was also pretty damn awesome. I really liked the creativity (and the music!) in "Dreamboy", by Chris Romano...
