When I first heard of Cromartie High School a few years ago I thought that there was no way it would ever be released in the UK. Here was a show which featured a school of delinquents which, amongst the hardened dumb thugs, included a robot, a gorilla and Freddie Mercury. On top of that the plots of each episode were very bizarre and all the DVD covers were hilarious parodies of famous albums covers. Surely it was just to weird to be released in the UK, but, thankfully, I was wrong. |

One such episode revolves around one character
attempting to remember the title of a song by humming it to his fellow
pupils. No pupils know the song so the number of them humming
the tune steadily grows until the entire cast is humming it.
Whoosh! That one went over my head, but on the other hand another
episode revolving around a punk's effort to keep his motion sickness
secret is brilliant. The punk unluckily suffers on many
vehicles and his determination to keep his secret his very funny as
the show tells us what he his thinking throughout his suffering,
while showing the misinterpretations of those around him. |
The examples I have just given may show just how
hit and miss Cromartie can be, but there can also be several
random occurrences that can make the viewer smile as well.
There are often background events which can go unnoticed if you are
not paying attention and, due to their bizarreness, will make you
laugh at their stupidity.
