This is one of the funniest cartoon series ever created, and yet I'm not sure why I loved it so much.Another has already posted the premise of the cartoon, and I'm sure that it's noted in detail on the page itself, so there is no need to cover that ground.I'll say that the two beaver brothers, dag and norb, are the funniest two comedic characters I've seen in a long time. I compare their interaction with each other to the hilarious Bob and Doug McKenzie (sp?) of the great white north fame and the two moose from the Brother Bear movie.It's obvious that the two of them care about each other, but they are both very competitive. One of them is fairly bright and the other is, well, not so bright. These two qualities, plus their accents and silly way of speaking, mixed with the animation style, make this a winner all the way around.

The Angry Beavers is a hilarious cartoon. I think except for 'numb-bugger' & 'poopy-pants' a lot of the humor went over the heads the kids watching Nick. I was hooked from the first episode I watched. I love the subtle, off beat humor. For example, Norb & Treeflower's performing the River Dance, Dagget waking up after a night at the jalapeño bar to find a baby mongoose and immediately assuming he had a baby during the night. Norbert's collection of 8-track tapes, the Particle Accelerator he keeps in the basement and his tendency to talk like James T. Kirk. Luckily I have a lot of the episodes on video tape but I would rather have them on DVD. Are all the episodes even out on DVD? Are they in rerun anywhere? If anyone knows please email me.

The Angry Beavers is everything one should expect of a silly, fun show: Likable, understandable characters, memorable slapstick humor and one-liners, and good plot lines (for the most part...) The show can take some getting used to, as it did for me, for people who are willing to give this masterpiece a good try but once you do, sit down and prepare to be fully entertained and laughing throughout the entire show.The basic premise is that two brothers, the hyper, overreacting Daggett and his calmer, more intelligent brother Norbert have left their home to fend for themselves in a forest full of a bunch of crazy characters, getting into hilarious situations and devising over-the-top plots for their own "personal gain", all the while trying to be a good brother and just plainly, do what beavers do. The show's originality of natural, yet unnatural animals and the unique style of humor is the core of the show. Norbert's talking about his younger brother behind his back and Daggett tries a dumb, but funny comeback, they may be flying all over the place, or they're trying in vain to outdo the other in such oddball competitions, like the infamous staring contest, you can help but be entertained. The story lines for each episode are for the most part, well thought out and taken up a step. Even the overly used ones. Most have some interesting twists that will usually happen throughout, especially when the beavers are competing, or on rare occasions, when Daggett gets the upper hand on his brother. Unfortunately, there have been those few episodes like "Stinky Toe" or "Sans-A-Pelt" that come along and just seem out of place or even worse, unentertaining, but they should be overlooked with amusing classics like "Beaver Fever" or "H2-Whoa!!" The voice acting is superb, funny when both the main actors worked at the same time. Nick's laid back and mature, perfect for Norb, while the powerful, loud, and in-you-face Richard suits Daggett like a glove. Their lines are executed perfectly, mostly found during their arguments, and will have you wondering whether these crazy rodents weren't indeed based on real brothers. Norb notes Dag's stupidity, Dag does a comeback, while Norb ends it with something like "Yeah, you need to order a new brain" or "When this is over, I'm selling you to science." Even their beaver slang and crazily mispronounced words are something special. Hard-core fans will be saying "spoothead" to their friends after having watching an episode.The show only has one short-coming. There are numerous inside jokes and culture references scattered throughout, and it can be very confusing for the younger crowd of like 5 or 6 sometimes, so most in this category tend to leave this one alone, unless they just live for cartoon animals, truly understand the humor, or want to see what Dag has done today. Once paid attention to enough, kids from 10 up should quickly find this a favorite.All in all, there is truly nothing wrong with this show, except it may not be someone's cup of tea. It delivers exactly what it promised: Good, clean fun. The characters, the antics, the animation, nothing short of amazing. Even with a hard established fan-base from young and old, Nickelodeon failed to realize this show's real potential, which led to it's bad time slots and ultimately, cancellation. Definitely worthy of everyone's attention and deserving a long overdue DVD/VHS release. Norb and Dag are a true comic duo.

I remember many different funny shows that Nickelodeon used to make from Rocko's Modern Life to Salute Your Shorts. They were funny, and this show was no exception.Two beavers get kicked right out of their own home, and they get to live on their own! Even though they're brothers, they are very unalike. Norbert is very laid-back, while Daggett is a very crazy beaver! They have many different friends in the forest, who can be just as funny as the two beavers. Norb and Dag always get into some kind of predicaments, such as when Dag gets knocked into last week, Norb brings Stump in which angers Dag, and the cereal incident.How the good ol' days were. This show deserves a perfect *****/*****!
