Squidbillies is an American adult animated sitcom created by Jim Fortier and Dave Willis for Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim.[1] An unofficial pilot for the series aired on April 1, 2005. The series later made its official debut on October 16, 2005, and ended on December 12, 2021, with a total of 132 episodes over the course of 13 seasons.

The series is about the Cuyler family, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly mud squids living in the Georgia region of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The series revolves around the exploits of an alcoholic father (Early), who is often abusive in a comedic way towards his family. His son, Rusty, is desperate for his approval; his mother and grandmother, known in the show as Granny, is often the center of his aggression; and Lily, Early's sister, is mostly unconscious in a pool of her own vomit.

The series also airs in syndication in other countries and has been released on various DVD sets and other forms of home media.

Setting and premise

Squidbillies follows the exploits of the Cuyler family and their interactions with the local populace, which usually results in a fair amount of destruction, mutilation, and death. The Cuylers are essentially given free rein and protected from the consequences of their actions whenever possible by their crudely-drawn friend, the Sheriff (whose name is "Sharif"), as they are said to be the last twisted remnants of a federally protected endangered species, the "Appalachian Mud Squid". They live in the southern Appalachian Mountains located in the North Georgia mountains. At the epicentre of this rural paradise is Dougal County, home to crippling gambling addictions, a murderous corporation, sexual deviants, and the authentic Southern mountain squid.[2] The show often satirizes the history and culture of the American South, including the Lost Cause, slavery, religious fundamentalism, segregation, political conservatism, bigotry, racism and poverty. In the words of The New York Times, the show takes "backwoods stereotypes" and turns them into "a cudgel with which to pound maniacally on all manner of topical subjects."[3]

Production

Squidbillies is produced by Williams Street Productions; it is written by Dave Willis, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Jim Fortier, previously of The Brak Show, both of whom worked on the Adult Swim series Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The show is animated by Radical Axis until 2012, with Awesome Inc taking on animation duties until the show’s conclusion.

Concept and development

Dave Willis
Jim Fortier

The series has its origins in 2003 when Mike Lazzo, former vice president of Adult Swim, asked to develop a project around the title Squidbilly's, which he speculated about during a conversation with his colleagues about Hanna-Barbera's Squiddly Diddly character. In July of the same year, Matt Maiellaro and Pete Smith produced the first script of the pilot episode; however it was scrapped and over 35 scripts were written by Maiellaro, Smith, Dave Willis, Jim Fortier, Matt Harrigan and Mike Lazzo over the course of a year. Later, Lazzo approved and commissioned a screenplay by Dave Willis and Jim Fortier, who decided to base the plot and related characters on the stories of the two creators who both grew up in Conyers, Georgia. According to Vice President Keith Crofford development of the first season was delayed due to a lack of ideas, revealing that the pilot episode was scheduled to air in December 2004. The original budget of the pilot episode was about 1100 dollars.

Singer Unknown Hinson voiced lead character Early Cuyler until his firing in 2020

On March 25, 2004, it was revealed that the series was in production with a first season consisting of seven episodes planned. Adult Swim later showed short clips from the first episode during San Diego Comic-Con and Dragon Con in 2004. It was also announced that the series, originating from the creators of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, was in development with as many as 96 episodes, that the pilot episode would air on November 7, 2004, and that the official broadcast would take place in January 2005. On November 4, 2004, three days before the pilot episode was scheduled to air, the animated special Anime Talk Show aired, featuring future Squidbillies star Early Cuyler, along with Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sharko from Sealab 2021 who are interviewed by Space Ghost. The special was later placed as a bonus feature on the first DVD volume of Squidbillies.[4] The pilot episode was heavily promoted to air on November 7, 2004. On that date, however, Adult Swim decided to air the first episode of Perfect Hair Forever unannounced due to the incompleteness of the Squidbillies episode.

In March 2005, Adult Swim announced that a six-episode first season would air from September of that year alongside 12 oz. Mouse and Perfect Hair Forever. An unfinished version of the pilot episode aired on April Fool's Day, later revealed via a bumper that it would be completed in five weeks. On October 16, 2005, after being posted on the official website two days earlier, the episode aired alongside the rest of the season.

Writing

Matt Maiellaro contributed to the development of the pilot episode of Squidbillies, occasionally writing for the series

The series is written primarily and entirely by Jim Fortier and Dave Willis, who are sometimes aided by other writers such as Casper Kelly and Will Shepard, who send their scripts to the creators. Other producers or animators occasionally take part and write additional story elements, including Matt Harrigan, Matt Maiellaro, Pete Smith, and Lear Bunda.

The delay in production of the pilot episode was partly the result of a lack of ideas on the part of the writers who had subjected it to multiple rewrites between the commission of the series and its actual scheduled debut. Over 35 screenplays were written by Maiellaro, Smith, Willis, Fortier, Harrigan and Mike Lazzo in the course of a year. Originally the names of the protagonists Early and Rusty were to be Arvee and Donny respectively; however they were changed by Smith and Fortier in an attempt to renew the creators' original ideas.

During the development of Squidbillies, the creators also working on the development of Perfect Hair Forever inserted and moved some concepts and characters between the two animated series.

Animation

Radical Axis provided animation for the series through season six
Awesome Inc animated the series from season seven to thirteen

The series' animation, described by Willis as Beavis and Butt-Head style, is based on Adobe Flash and takes a week to complete. The main software adopted for the series's animation is Macromedia Shockwave Flash, which allowed in later seasons to more easily change the resolution format to render the broadcast in high definition. An average episode takes approximately 700 working hours to complete.

Up until the sixth season, the task of animating the various scripts and characters is entrusted to Radical Axis, while from the seventh onwards to Awesome Inc. The reason why the characters are drawn so crudely is not due to the budget, which is still substantial compared to that of their previous work Space Ghost Coast to Coast, but is by design; in fact, according to Jim Fortier, if the series had been drawn differently, therefore cleaner and sharper, it would not have been fun.

Production times for animation and various changes made to episodes can take up to eight weeks. Unlike traditional series, no storyboards or particular animations are produced and the pre-production product is not sent abroad to be further modified; in fact the production takes place exclusively in Atlanta and there are between five and seven animators. According to animator Alex Barrella, by the twelfth season, animations and episode designs are generally completed in a few weeks to a maximum of a month, before being revisited and saved. After being animated, the episodes are edited with Adobe After Effects for the final composition. Regarding subsequent seasons, Barrella stated that he wanted to resume the style of "the first three seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force", to increase the irreverent tone of the series.

Wallpapers

The series' backgrounds and colors were created by artist Ben Prisk at Primal Screen in Atlanta. According to Mike Lazzo, who supervises Prisk's works, he wanted to base his backgrounds on folk art. Together with Fortier and Willis, Prisk worked about a year and a half to develop the animation style of the backgrounds, trying to adapt them to the previously designed characters according to line widths, layers and texture complexity. The backgrounds are characterized by the lack of right angles and confusing perspectives. Prisk's works are created in acrylic, revisited with gouache and spray paint and finally composed on Adobe Photoshop. Each wallpaper takes approximately 12–15 hours to process and complete.

Voice cast

Dismissal of Stuart Baker

Tracy Morgan voiced Early during season thirteen

On August 16, 2020, Stuart Baker was fired from the series for controversial comments towards the Black Lives Matter movement and country singer Dolly Parton. A response was posted on Facebook by Baker claiming that being fired from Squidbillies ruined his life. The response was later deleted.[5]

The thirteenth and final season of Squidbillies premiered on November 7, 2021, with Baker being replaced by comedian Tracy Morgan.[6][7]

Early wakes up and calls the Sheriff to search for his truck. Deputy Denny shows up driving the truck, revealing that he bought it online. Early and Denny argue and draw their guns, causing Sharif to draw two pistols. A Mexican standoff ensues, with no one shooting. Denny explains (after a lot of yelling) that Rusty sold the truck to him online but Early refuses to believe it. Rusty walks up and reveals that he actually did, saying "because I'm a squid: I steal, I don't take orders from nobody." Early tells his son that he's proud of him, knowing "you was always a good squid." Taking advantage of the distraction, Denny rides off in the truck, hoping to keep it. Early, Rusty, and Randy follow. Denny leaps out of his house with his pistols drawn just as Early is breaking into his truck. Randy sprays ink all over Denny, then inserts his tentacles up Denny's butt and through his mouth, then beats him. This makes the other two squids happy until blood starts pouring. Early drives the three of them home.

1027"Greener Pastor"August 21, 2016 (2016-08-21)10071.232[31]

Early gets drunk and argues with a peaceful goateed stranger at the Waffle Barn. He injures himself by walking in front of a car, preventing the two from fighting each other. Early appears in church the next day, bandaged in multiple places, and brags about beating up the stranger, forcing him to buy him dinner and drive him home, none of which is true. Then the stranger steps to the front of the church and introduces himself as Kyle Nubbins, the new pastor, saying the reverend had left to go to "a better place....First Presbyterian of Blue Ridge." Kyle then plays his guitar and invites the church's congregation to a potluck in the evening. Early and Granny talk to each other at home about their dislike for Nubbins at home. At the potluck, Early accuses Kyle of being "pissed off" about losing the Waffle Barn fight the night before and throws food on the ground while cursing and insulting Nubbins. He leaves, taking food for himself when the Sheriff intervenes. Later on, the Cuylers show up to the church's fundraiser and Early dunks Nubbins in a tub of water without throwing the ball at the target, then points his sawed-off shotgun at Nubbins. Kyle quietly talks to Early, saying he understands Early's anger and instability and that alcohol won't help him. Early is baptized, then reveals that he hasn't changed as he steals all the fundraiser money. In church, Nubbins tells the congregation to close their eyes and allow the thief to return the money. When they open their eyes, however, not only did Early not return the money, he also steals Kyle's guitar. This reveals an ugly side of the pastor, cursing when he realizes that his "12 string" is gone. Nubbins walks up on Early, who is playing the guitar and singing at the Cuyler house. Early camoflouges himself, but forgets that his hat and the guitar reveal his position. Kyle rams Early against the wall and begins to choke him. The two calm down and meet in the church gym for a pushing contest in Sumo wrestler suits, which is Early's idea. However, Rusty (in the legs of the Cuyler suit) walks backwards, out of the circle. Sheriff tearfully tells Early that Early has to leave town, as he promised, but Early refuses, saying "I love this town with all of my heart, and it would take a 220 sasquatch to drag me from this town." The Sheriff then straps Early to a dog, which drags him away. Nubbins (apparently satisfied) walks off, saying to the crowd "We'll see you in church."
