Tripping the Rift

2004–2008 · 3 seasons

A crude, silly space romp full of cheap gags and smirking innuendo, best enjoyed as low-effort late-night background noise.

Overview: The continuing comic saga of a bizarre gang of misfits who live, work and play on the starship Jupiter 42, which is controlled by a neurotic A.I. known as Spaceship Bob. The ethically-challenged shipmates travel through the galaxy taking on one epic adventure at a time all while looking to make a quick buck and avoid getting thrown in jail.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and campy. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Greed, friendship, power, crime
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
