So I’m out on Newgrounds, where I’m pretty convinced that eventually they’re going to have to give me my own wing, when I find one of the latest features, Purgatory Pizza.
It’s an interesting little animation, and chances are, you’re wondering what if anything it has to do with the title. Simple. Purgatory Pizza, you see, is all about a Domino’s Pizza-esque restaurant (that’s currently in a vicious competition with Red Lobster and its perennial favorite Lobsterfest), staffed by several “failed species” and a demon thrown out of hell for cheating Satan at a game of Warhammer.
It’s a great idea, really–with a few extra connections behind it it could be a failed sitcom on ABC, and it almost was with “Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place”–but the only problem is that this initial run goes nowhere, really. It’s exactly like thin crust in that it’s a GREAT idea. More room for toppings by making less crust? AND it’s better for you? Wow! But when you put it into PRACTICE it just can’t hold up. If this is the start of a series, then hey, I’m all for it. But in its current form, despite some clever jokes, it’s just not that worth getting into.
