Milo Oblong: She's not bluffing! She'll do it! Her lips are like shark skin!

Alternate versions
During one scene in the episode "Milo Interrupted," Jawless Peggy says "Oh no, she didn't just call me a ho!" WB used this clip in promos, but the word "ho" was changed to "hussy."

The best show in late night cartoon series!

"The Oblongs" is a wonderfully done series about a screwed up deformed family. We're not laughing at them, but with them. The characters recognize that they are not perfect and make the most of it. Last nights episode saw Milo striving to fit in and be "cool". Every kid in America has gone through that. Why not make fun of it by using buckets with ham labels on them? This series makes my stomach hurt from laughing for thirty minutes straight! True, the jokes are crude, but that's what makes them funny! I recommend it to anyone who can put aside reality for half an hour and realize that life is hilarious and meant to be laughed at!
