Introduction:
No comedy is like "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law". Taking advantage of old Hannah Barbara characters that everybody has forgotten about, and makes something memorable and hilarious. This show is a master at running gags and joke, as well as just good comedy.
The Comedy: The comedy of this show can be analyzed. There are so many running gags and hidden jokes, that these jokes often conflict and get tangled with other jokes. Either: inside jokes, hidden references, or long running gags. You can pause any frame of this show, and find something to laugh at. And even with the kind of comedy, it is still able to deal with serious issues, such as, gun control, terrorism, and even gay marriage: while still tackling it in a way that it is still hilarious to watch.
The Characters: The show is not just funny for the running gags and references, but also the great characters. The interactions between them are some of the funniest moments on television. Out of all of them, my favorite character was Phil. Just the way he was so oblivious to everything and not aware of any real danger, creates hilarious antics. And I give similar praises to all the other characters.
The Animation: The animation of the show does a very good job resembling old Hannah Barbara cartoons. Letting me forgive the low quality of animation, as it's like that by design.
Conclusion: "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law" takes a crappy and forgettable cartoon from the 1960's, and creates a show that still in my mind, even a decade after it ended.
