This looks like it could be really good OR really bad.  Tons of guest voices, but Samberg's half-assed Nic Cage impression could get old real quick.

It's...okay. I'll watch more, but it's not exactly grabbing me yet.

[ICantDoThatDave]

I thought it was just... bad.  The "jokes" were incredibly predictable, as in I could basically say the "punchline" when the characters did.  The previews were pretty much accurate - a dumb goofball Indiana Jones knockoff (I know "he's his own different character!" like he says when asked about snakes, but, well... no).  It feels like they were trying to do an Archer imitation, but had really poor/obvious joke writers.

I won't be back for episode 2.

You know, subverting tropes, and loudly announcing how you're subverting those tropes doesn't lead to good humor.

I keep seeing ads for this show & presuming they put the "best jokes" in the ads, this show can't die fast enough just to get the ads off my screen.

Gotta say this was the best episode so far. Digman killing a baby that was actually an old man who drank from the Fountain of Youth was a place not even Rick & Morty went to.

I kinda liked the snakes thing. That was so over the top that is came back around for me. But for the most part, you are right.

I like that his motivation for getting money is to keep the snakes happy.
