    More annoying than funny. I expected more from someone like Seth Myers. The writers seemed to confused between take every opportunity to be asinine instead of doing something actually creative and funny. Over-all very predictable, and insulting of my intelligence.

    It tries to be edgy and wacky, like some of crossbreed of Drawn Together and The Incredibles, but for all its gimmicks, it doesn't do any of them particularly well besides the inevitable failure of team-leader Prock. But even those failures are so predictably cringe-worthy that I'm 8 episodes in to the series, and it's just not at all entertaining.

    It has some good jokes, but this overly familiar spoof lacks the strength to push the envelope. [2 Sep 2013]

    As one would expect from a Seth Meyers cartoon, The Awesomes can be knowing and clever, with a positive attitude that skews a bit arch.

    The Awesomes is charming, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how much you may already feel over-saturated with animation.
