Purgatony is an animated comedy series from Studio71 that premiered in 2017. The show was created by Joel Watson, who is also the creator of the popular webcomic, HijiNKS ENSUE. Purgatony follows the story of Tony Purgatelli, a low-level bureaucrat working for the afterlife's DMV. The series features the voices of Joel Watson, Rob Denbleyker, Alex Faciane, and Erica Lindbeck. Tony Purgatelli is not exactly living his best life in the afterlife. He works at the DMV, which is a bureaucratic nightmare, even in death. He's stuck in a dead-end job, and his boss, the demon bureaucrat Beezlebub, is constantly breathing down his neck. To make matters worse, Tony is stuck in Purgatory because he has no idea how he died. He spends his days pushing paper, processing souls, and trying to navigate the intricacies of the underworld bureaucracy. The show's animation style is reminiscent of classic cartoons, with exaggerated facial expressions and physical comedy. The characters are all well-drawn and memorable, with distinct personalities and quirks. The humor is irreverent and often dark, but it never feels mean-spirited or cruel. Throughout the series, Tony interacts with a wide variety of characters, from angels to demons to lost souls. Each episode sees him trying to solve a new problem, whether it's helping a lost soul find their way to the afterlife or dealing with an outbreak of soul-lice at the DMV. The show does an excellent job of creating a rich, detailed world, full of interesting characters and concepts. One of the strengths of the show is its voice cast. Joel Watson is a talented comedian and voice actor, and his portrayal of Tony is both hilarious and sympathetic. Rob Denbleyker, who co-created the webcomic Cyanide and Happiness, lends his distinct voice to Beezlebub, and his performance is delightfully evil. Alex Faciane and Erica Lindbeck are also excellent in their roles, bringing a lot of energy and humor to their characters. Another standout element of Purgatony is its writing. The show is filled with clever wordplay, dark humor, and humorous references to pop culture and mythology. The scripts are tightly paced, with each episode packing in a lot of jokes and plot twists. The show also isn't afraid to tackle some weighty topics, such as mortality and redemption, while still maintaining its lighthearted tone. Overall, Purgatony is a hilarious and imaginative series that's well worth checking out. Its unique blend of dark humor and heart make it an entertaining and engaging show that's sure to please fans of animation and comedy alike.
