The Nutshack

2007–2011 · 2 seasons

A scrappy, chaotic cartoon that plays like a crude late-night curiosity, more amusing for its awkwardness than its jokes.

Overview: Two cousins (Phil and Jack) from completely different worlds (the Philippines and the SF Bay Area) are forced to live together by their overly controlling uncle, Tito Dick.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, identity, immigration, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
