History WesternAnimation / Brickleberry

''Brickleberry'' was an animated series that aired from 2012 to 2015 on Creator/ComedyCentral [[note]] Although most countries aired the show on networks owned by [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox Fox Networks Group]] instead of Comedy Central as the rights to the show are owned by Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox and not [[Creator/ViacomCBS Viacom]].[[/note]], produced by Creator/DanielTosh. It features a group of incompetent park rangers operating a national park called Brickleberry and a hateful, spoiled [[FunnyAnimal pet bear]] named Malloy who was adopted following his parents' death (that was caused by one of the rangers Steve himself). The show takes many nods from Seth [=MacFarlane=]'s shows (specifically ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''), mainly for its similar art style and use of [[VulgarHumor heavy vulgar humor]]. The series was created by Roger Black, best known for his previous work as Yucko the Clown on ''Radio/TheHowardSternShow'', and Waco O'Guin, who both worked previously together on Creator/{{MTV}} with their sketch comedy series ''Series/{{Stankervision}}''.

* BigNo: Woody does this with a Skyward Scream when he learns his mother is coming to visit.
** Woody does this at the start of "My Way Or The Highway" when Brickleberry ends up having the Woody Johnson Is A Sexist Asshole Memorial Highway run through it.
* BlackComedy: A ''lot''. The season 2 finale revolves around Denzel trying to kill Connie's son, the anti-Christ. As he ''throws it into a volcano'' he's dancing a little jig for victory.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: The Squabbits.

* GrotesqueCute: The Squabbits.

* IncompetenceInc.: Brickleberry is run badly by the ethically questionable Woody and staffed by: Connie who is clumsy and prone to mood swings where she runs off crying and punching things, Denzel who is literally good for nothing, and only has the job because there's a chance he'll sue the park for racial discrimination, and Steve who only achieves a level of satisfaction because of his peer's lack of any skill short of Ethel who is great at her job as long as she doesn't drink. Malloy is the only one who comes close to true competence at anything, but he doesn't "work" for the park nor does he care about nature, since he's a spoiled house bear who loves junk food, video games, and making people's lives a living hell. How bad is Brickleberry? In "Squabbits" Woody mentions that they had 25 campers die, this MONTH.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The drill instructor from "Race Off" looks and sounds a lot like Creator/RLeeErmey.

* ReallyGetsAround: Ethel.

* AttemptedRape: Parodied in [[spoiler:"Baby Daddy" when Steve tries to subject Ethel to [[https://psychology.louisiana.edu/research/research-labs/sexual-violence-research-laboratory/incapacitated-rape-and-victim-blame incapacitated rape]]. However, his recording of the event reveals [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he got drunk himself, which caused him to pass out before he could rape Ethel]]]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Steve:''' (''after starting to record himself and Ethel, with both of them clearly being intoxicated'') Ok Future Steve and Future Ethel, you guys hard? [[SoundEffectBleep *BEEP*]] yeah you're hard! The things I'm going to do to Past Ethel, (''starts making a couple ridiculous gestures'') I'm going to blow your mind. (''He soon loses consciousness.'')]]

** Malloy staying with Bobby Possumcods, who is a sexual offender (despite denying it. He has duct tape, chloroform, bondage gear, and, most tellingly, a court order stating that he stay 50 feet away from children and small animals) all because he was starving for junk food. When the other rangers find him, he's stuck on the redneck, and what's worse, everyone casually dismisses the fact that Malloy was raped after sentencing Bobby to picking up litter around the park (since same-sex bear molestation is a misdemeanor).

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: A PlayedForLaughs example when Steve accidentally confesses he [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink spiked Ethel's coffee]]]] when he brags about it out loud. He even something to this effect[[note]]"Wait a minute, am I thinking this or saying this?"[[/note]] upon realizing it wasn't his inner monologue.
* DisproportionateRetribution: How did Malloy respond in "Scared Straight" when someone was eating his moonpie? He had him shanked to death.

* FacialHorror: It's revealed in a flashback from "Squabbits" that one time part of an old man's face got ripped off. This being ''[[BlackComedy Brickleberry]]'', it's PlayedForLaughs.

* KarmicDeath: In the series finale, after Woody unleashes tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere without believing that global warming is real, [[spoiler: alien cows land on earth deciding the planet got hot enough for them to live in and they use laser guns to start zapping humans to death, with Woody being their first victim.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: Literally involving lasers, in the series finale "Global Warning" Woody gets disintegrated by a laser gun from a cow since he heated up the earth so much the cows decided now they can take over and subjugate the human population.

* {{Butterface}}: Inverted with the Indian callcenter employee who falls in love with Steve in "Hello Dottie." All Steve can see of her is a face on the monitor. When he flies to meet her, she has a cute face, but a heavy body and hairy arms and in a rascal scooter.

* CrossDressingVoice: Connie.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for grim laughs]] in "Little Boy Malloy"; when Malloy, disguised as a human child, was...trying to perform a provocative dance a PedophilePriest masturbates to him.

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Steve accidentally confesses that he spiked Ethel's coffee when he brags about it out loud thinking it was his inner monologue.

* IKillYou: A few examples. For instance, Malloy once told a schoolyard bully something like this[[labelnote:namely]]"...I'm going to kill you."[[/labelnote]].

-->'''Malloy''': Bacardi? Listerine, arugula.

* TailSlap: Steven gets whacked in the nuts by a beaver in the first episode.

** In "A-Park-alypse", Malloy watches Bobby Possumcods and [=BoDean=] very poorly act out the fight between [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader]] in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. He remarks that it is still better than [[Film/ThePhantomMenace the]] [[Film/AttackOfTheClones prequel]] [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith trilogy]].

* {{Unishment}}: Woody tries to leave Malloy in prison so he'd learn his lesson...only for him to make himself at home and take charge of a gang there. Also, he '''not''' become better and he outright states he loves being in prison.

* WhyWontYouDie: In fit of anger, Malloy utters this verbatim while trying to kill a squabbit.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for grim laughs]] in "Little Boy Malloy"; when Malloy, disguised as a human child, was...trying to perform a provocative dance a PedophilePriest masturbates.

* DesecratingTheDead: [[spoiler:In one episode, [[KickTheSonOfABitch Steve runs over Flamey's corpse]]. Given this is a black comedy, however, it's PlayedForLaughs]].

* FacialHorror: It's revealed in a flashback from "Squabbits" that one time part of an old man's face got ripped off. This being ''[[BlackCoedy Brickleberry'', however, this is PlayedForLaughs.

* WhyWontYouDie: Malloy says it to the squabbit, who proves to be nearly indestructible.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: This is what makes Steve the ranger of every month. [[spoiler:Well that, and the fact that his mom has sex with Woody every month]]

* SwearJar: Woody apparently uses a urn filled with an ex-girlfriend's ashes as one.

* ParentalIncest: Downplayed yet played for grim laughs when Steve's father starts forcibly humping his own son's leg.

* HarmfulToMinors: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for grim laughs]] in the first episode when Steve shows some children an animal orgy.

!!Tropes in this series include:

* BlackComedyRape: Malloy staying with Bobby Possumcods, who is a sexual offender (despite denying it. He has duct tape, chloroform, bondage gear, and, most tellingly, a court order stating that he stay 50 feet away from children and small animals) all because he was starving for junk food. When the other rangers find him, he's stuck on the redneck, and what's worse, everyone casually dismisses the fact that Malloy was raped after sentencing Bobby to picking up litter around the park (since same-sex bear molestation is a misdemeanor).

* EveryoneIsGay: The Gay Bomb does this to people. Except people who are already gay, it turns them straight.

* NWordPrivileges: When Denzel and Steve switch races due to a mix-up with skin grafts, the cast acts like Steve gets these while Denzel's have been revoked.

* BeeAfraid:
** In "Trailer Park," when Ethel mentions being stung by a bee before getting her picture taken, accompanied by a quick cut to her grotesquely swollen face on the cover of a magazine.
** Steve sticking his penis in a yellow jacket's nest, which sting him and end up nesting in his prostate.

* PinchMe: When Connie seemingly finds herself on an island of gorgeous women who think she's a goddess, she says "Somebody pinch me!" When one of the women does, Connie says that she meant "finger bang me until I squirt all over your breasts."

* AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark: Though most critics find the comparison to be [[InsultToRocks an insult to]] ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and even ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the show has its fans and does do its BlackComedy fairly well (at least in seasons two and three. Season one was very touch-and-go).
