  • Confusing and Hilarious

    I turned on the Grinch episode and it was chaotic and very funny. Highly recommend if you’re looking for unending amusement. I’ve never wondered before if the grinch was an ape, but I’m glad to now know that the answer is “probably, yes.”

  • My Favourite Show in the DoGoOniverse

    I would love more regular Prime Mates in my feed. I saw the auteur Robert Vince has a TV show call Russell Maniac with the synopsis: Stray dog with anger issues, gets trained by a monkey to become a wrestler. Sounds like gold
