Brickleberry was a 2012 animated series on Comedy Central, produced by Daniel Tosh. It features a group of incompetent park rangers and a hateful, spoiled pet bear named Malloy who was adopted following his parents' death. The show takes many nods from Seth MacFarlane's shows (specifically Family Guy), mainly for its similar art style and use of heavy vulgar humor which had made the show somewhat poorly received since its premiere. The series was created by Roger Black, best known for his previous work as Yucko the Clown on The Howard Stern Show, and Waco O'Guin, who both worked previously together on MTV with their sketch comedy series Stankervision.
Brickleberry is notable for being one of the few current animated series to switch from Adobe Flash to traditional animation (most animated shows go the other way around, due to budget cuts or Executive Meddling of some kind). It's also notable for being renewed twice, despite many disparaging reviews. Despite this, the show was eventually canceled in January 2015, with the last three episodes (see Recap) being burned off between late March and mid-April.
Seasons one and two were available on Hulu Plus for some time, and the entire show can be found on Netflix.
In July 2016, Dynamite Entertainment began publishing a 4-issue comic book miniseries that continues where the season three finale left off.
