Pet Projects

The philosophical underpinning of the show is. Brothers Mark and Hank lose their jobs at their hot dog plant due to automation. The New Jersey state gives them $3,000 monthly as part of a basic income.

Now Mark and Hank have a lot of free time and waste their money on outlandish pets in the first episode. Another neighbour got a giant python and is now getting strangled by it.

Mark buys a sick monkey as a present for his wife Tammy, a nurse from a disreputable zoo. Only the monkey rips Mark's face off while Hank finds out that the same monkey is very intelligent. All due to science experiments.

Now Mark needs plastic surgery and treating him is his wife Tammy.

Like the animation this is not high end humour. There is fun with the silliness and some sly political commentary. The zoo where the giraffes are housed in buildings with low ceilings. People with exotic pets and have no idea how to look after them.
