homfrog42 What's not to love about this show? It's got action, slapstick, observational humor, a weirdly sympathetic antihero on a mission of rage and vengeance, and a generally insane yet somewhat accurate depiction of life in Los Angeles. By that I mean that things tend to catch on fire with no provocation - but it's also the only cartoon I've ever seen that depicts day-burning street lamps in the scenery. That's attention to detail right there, to say nothing of the scenes in the show you can actually identify as real LA places. Sig alerts, sequestration, Silicon Valley; they might as well say "shot on location," because it's basically the real world in irony-laced ink. You can also play "who's that voice?" with the frequent guest VAs. The writers do an excellent job of keeping the characters consistent and the character development progressing smoothly, and the show has a definite continuity, but one that doesn't impede just jumping in anywhere. Other reviewers have some discouraging things to say about the Flash animation, but having been raised on Homestar Runner and other web cartoons I can tell you that as Flash animation goes, this show is just about top notch. And the Dan Vs. animators manage to largely avoid the phenomenon of significant asset reuse that seems to plague most other symbol-based cartoons (Jimmy Neutron, Foster's Home, et cetera). This might be due to the background art having this funky watercolor style that scintillates into the character art.Everything else positive I could say about the show has already been said by others. I'm just telling you what I've noticed. It's a great cartoon; watch it.

Skye Braband It may not be for everyone, but Dan Vs. has a seriously devoted cult following, and for good reason. It's a show about an angry man who believes that the world is against him. He easily jumps to rash conclusions, and tries to get revenge on anything from the wolfman to Canada. Unlike many other cartoons on air today, Dan Vs. pushes the network censors and doesn't care about having "positive role models" or being "politically correct". This kind of show has not been seen since the 90's. It's humour is different than anything else on TV right now. It's different, but it works. Give this show a try, you may be happily surprised.

ultramatt2000-1 WARNING! This review contains possible spoilers to some episodes and is another one of those "Matthew Rants" reviews (please refer to my ONE MILLION AC/DC review to get a feel for one). If any one likes this show, please leave immediately! Leave as if it was something like F FOR FAKE.What is this? This show FAILS to be funny. I saw a few episodes and they were not funny. It looks like REVENGE OF THE GROUCH (who gets his comeuppance at the end). MAD, THE LOONEY TUNES SHOW, PHINEAS AND FERB and any show created by Butch Hartman look AWESOME and ENTERTAINING compared to this. The "hero" is a long suffering grouch who gets revenge on the things that annoy him. If anyone attempts to copy that stuff, would end up in a heap of trouble, or possibly behind bars! Who on their right minds would WANT to do such a thing. Most shows I grew up had a positive message and value and were very funny and delightful to watch. This one fails epically. It is a complete waste of time, money, skill, talent, and computer work. No wonder there is nothing good on TV. All the shows range from painful to watch and listen, and are negative. Would it kill the network to think outside the box. There's MATT'S MONSTERS, a cartoon from France made by the creator of ROBOTBOY. This French cartoon is funny and family/kid-friendly. GAWAYN (made by the same creator), is as funny as hell. I recommend these two (if you are living in other parts of the world). Please, for your own good, avoid this show like the plague, and I recommend watching something like TUFF PUPPY.

gcraven8978 Dan vs. is very original and entertaining. The characters are very familiar to views because we all know someone that takes EVERYTHING personally. Thankfully, most of those people just go thru life sulking and unhappy. Dan, on the other hand, takes it to the next level and plots real revenge. His buddy Chris, who's laid back and mostly cares about his next meal, is always along for the ride, usually as a chaperon to Dan's antics. This show is very funny and even kid-safe. Dan is a human version of Daffy Duck run amuck, and Chis is the easy-going, if not as clever, Bugs. I miss the old days when cartoons were witty and smart without resorting to shock value. Curses to The Simpsons and Family Guy.
