Korgoth of Barbaria (2006 TV Short)
6/10
Pretty sick, yet entertaining

Warning: Spoilers
This 23-minute short film was written and directed by Aaron Springer, one of the driving forces behind Spongebob Squarepants, back in 2006. It got never picked up for its own show, but has constantly risen in popularity since then. It's a good piece of adult animation centering on a massive male fighter named Korgoth who just wants to have a drink at the pub, but is tricked into a trap when offered a huge meal with an old acquaintance. The meal contained a stomach virus and, in order to be given the antidote, Korgoth has to go to a supposedly dead magician's castle and steal a golden goblin statue for his acquaintance. So he does and we get to follow him on his journey, which is packed with obscenities, graphic violence, murder and, of course, large-breasted damsels in distress wearing almost nothing.

All in all, it's a pretty good half hour of comedy and animation. I'm not too tempted to watch it again anytime soon, but i'd definitely be willing to give a show centering on Korgoth a fair chance. Maybe the better idea may even be a feature film. I'm sure there's lots of adventures that could be written for the hero. Recommended, but definitely not for children or the easily-offended.
