Absolutely great
velzhus16 April 2020
Dark, gory, humorous adventures. Love the fantasy vibe, dark humor and crazy situations. This quest-addicted adventurer is always up to some nonsense to get his fix, finishing a quest no matter the collateral damage caused on the way. Really brings me back to my days in D&D and MMOs, but just generally funny and creative for what it is. The animation gives you that 'uncanny valley' feel where everything is realistic-ish but just learning towards the odd side of the spectrum, bordering mildly uncomfortable. I just wish it had more seasons or longer episodes, there's a lot of potential in this weird gem.

The MEANS justify the END
cyberknight20 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Tigtone is a hero that absolutely must have a quest, always! For that, he might pick almost any quest, as simple as burying a dead man (and do that the worst way he possibly could, as long as it is the most heroic way he can manage to do it!)

A completely nonsensical approach to the fairy tale satyr, with weirdly (and barely) animated features (but strangely well done as it is), lots of unnecessary deaths, blood, gore, sexual exploitation and whatnot, it's definitely not a show for everyone.

Admittedly, the jokes, both visual and textual, are, usually, extremely superficial, but some carry a lot more social comment on them than one could expect (like Tigtone burning down a whole forest just to find a toolbox, afterwards bringing famine to everyone that depended on that forest for food).

Tigtone solutions to fairy tale problems are cynical, practical, hacky and, almost every time, the worst thing that could happen to the people involved, but they are hilarious!

Every episode is about eleven minutes long, so, it's worth a try for fans of satyrs that are tolerant to lots of exploitation and gore.

Every minute is funny
mlanier-0511817 February 2019
A parody of fantasy gaming and table top fantasy in general. The shows plots are never predictable and always over the top.

Juvenile guy humor, but an absolutely guilty pleasure
trcky117 July 2020
The characters and voice actors are absolutely priceless, especially the guy who plays Tigtone with his raging melodrama. With 12 minute runtimes, they keep the ridiculous fantasy plots and stories light, but the characters so develop over the season.

Hope we get a season 2!

Tigtone is Awesome!!
mythopeic19 January 2019
Tigtone is series of completely over top medieval adventures. It takes the D&D adventure movie / video game thing to a ridiculous level. Out of a scale of one to ten ""these go to eleven"

Such a waste of my EM spectrum, EM pollution
mwpowellhtx20 January 2019
Ranks right up there with Archer for being a waste of the EM spectrum. From Skeleton Ribs to King-Queen in the pilot episode, I was like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Just an utter waste of eleven minutes I will never see again...

There is nothing like it! TIIIIIIIIG TOOOOOOOOOOONE
bravojrbj12 May 2019
TIGTONE. Is worth your time if you like screaming in your face humor! That is right! This series is NOT FOR THE WEAK.

All jokes aside. Tigtone is a stab into the heart of fantasy, a stab at all staples and wholesome tropes. Tigtone our titular character is a overly charismatic man who could only exist in fantasy it is through his many quests we experience the absurd. Well rendered in a constrained artstyle it is bursting with it's own humor and not defaulting to the references of others for it's source and heart.

For that alone, yet keeping within the theme of fantasy it should be recognized as nothing less than a unique love letter with given thought into it's creation. Give Tigtone a try, with the first of it easily find-able on youtube it shouldn't be hard to experience. Be warned though the tone shift of Tigtone it does mellow out for the rest of the series but still keeps it's flame burning at a constant temperature. By far the only episode I found to be horrible was all because of how campy it was about being ugly. Such thankfully is the only ugly episode and was the least pleasant to watch!

Fantastically whimsical and hilariously dark
pathfinder764514 June 2019
Full of witty, dark, and clever humor. It's hard to predict where the punchlines are going to come in, and they do a fantastic job of subverting expectations at every turn.

Random and Perfect
punkskaterdude-1684112 June 2019
Anyone who says it's a "waste of my time" is a boring, waste of space in this world and we don't need anymore of you folks. This show is funny, creative, and random. It is the same humor I share with my friends and gives me a familiar feeling. A fantastic show. Thank you.

This is mmorpg gaming rogue style.

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched the pilot episode. If you like a farce of a fairytale land, with a man that'll do any and all quests. Just grind with him to GET IT DONE!

This show made me laugh
sraniinik18 March 2021
This is very subjective and biased, however, as the title says - I gave the show 10/10 just for making me actually laugh out loud more than once (not just smile as it usually happens with other comedy shows wihch I personally deem funny).

Beware though - the humour is a bit... dark? eccentric? stupid? random? schizo?

Tragically Overlooked
mdc227523 June 2022
If you like it, you love it. A criminally overlooked and absurd spoof of the hero archetype.

And psychedelics as well. There is so much weight to this silliness. And what a trip.

I don't wanna live in a universe where this has less than 1000 IMDB ratings, but here we are.
