Brickleberry (2012)
Overview
Brickleberry National Park is facing closure, but not if the park’s dysfunctional park rangers can help it! “Brickleberry,” an animated half-hour series, follows the crazy bunch of park rangers as they do their worst to keep the park running. Steve (David Herman) has been “Ranger of the Month” every month for years, so he feels threatened when Ethel (Natasha Leggero) is transferred from Yellowstone National Park to help whip the park into shape. Connie (Roger Black) and Denzel (Jerry Minor) are two unique rangers that each bring special skills (or in Denzel’s case, lack of skills) to the job, and Woody (Tom Kenny) is the hapless Head Ranger who puts nothing above his beloved park, except his adopted bear cub, Malloy (Daniel Tosh), who he’s taken in and spoils to death.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
Brickleberry employs an aggressive, often offensive, satirical style that targets a wide range of social and political issues, lampooning both progressive and conservative viewpoints, as well as general human folly and institutional incompetence, without advocating for a specific ideology. The show's core conflict is the absurdity of modern life, which it addresses by equally critiquing ideological extremes from both sides.
Brickleberry features a visibly diverse main cast, including Black and Native American characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative employs satirical humor that often portrays all characters, including traditional identities, negatively for comedic effect, rather than as a central or explicit critique driven by DEI themes.
Secondary
Brickleberry's portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes is overwhelmingly negative. The show consistently uses homophobic slurs, stereotypes, and non-heteronormative identities as a source of crude, offensive humor. Depictions are primarily for mockery and shock value, lacking dignity, complexity, or any affirming counterbalance. The narrative reinforces harmful stereotypes without critique.
Brickleberry features a character, Denzel, who transitions to Denzella, with the portrayal being largely negative. The show uses the character's gender identity as a source of crude humor and shock value, relying on stereotypes and mockery. There are no affirming or validating elements for transsexual themes, making the net impact problematic.
The show consistently portrays Christianity, its practices, and adherents in a highly satirical and negative light, often highlighting hypocrisy, ignorance, or extreme fundamentalism for comedic effect without offering counterbalancing nuance.
Judaism is depicted through irreverent humor and stereotypes, often for shock value, reinforcing negative portrayals without any positive or nuanced counterpoints.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Brickleberry is an original animated series that premiered in 2012. All characters were created specifically for this show, meaning there are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender could have been altered.
