If the aforementioned episodes seem too intricately plotted, not to worry--"Confessions of a Gangrenous Mind" offers an encounter with the oldest living Confederate widow, who, like all of the Squidbillies cast, has little of importance to share. The disc's most inspired moments come in "God's Bro," which is just as it sounds--the chopper-wielding half-sibling of the Almighty comes to town through a black hole--and the two-part "Reunited, and It Feels No Good" and "Not Without My Cashcow," in which Early learns the joys and pains of exploiting family members for profit, and viewers learn son Rusty's full surname (it has a lot to do with Kenny Rogers). The 10 episodes included here are short on taste and long on gross-out humor, which should make or break your interest in this title. However, it should be mentioned that the series has injected a note of political satire in its barrage of bathroom jokes, with Sarah Palin and immigration woes among its targets. It's not exactly Christopher Hitchens, but it does elevate the material, if only an inch or two.
Extras are minor if occasionally quite funny; there's a gallery of Early's rude slogan-bearing hats, an interesting collection of preproduction sketches and character designs set to the show's catchy guitar music, two sets of promotional bumpers, and a glimpse of the show's creators at Dragon Con before Baker performs in his Unknown Hinson persona. --Paul Gaita

Squidbillies V3The Squidbillies are extremely funny to get into a lots of funny situations of the funniest would have to be early kayo I think that is how ypu spell his name correctly. Regardless he gets into so many situations the cartoon does take some time to get used to the art work is not fantastic but once you start to fall in love with the characters his most funniest.I highly recommend this and all other Squidbillies

Squidbillies volume 3 is only 1 disc not 2, 101 minutes, contains 10 episodes:Anabolic-holic The Liar,The Bitch and The Boredrube The Fine ol' Solution Lerm Confessions of a Gangrenous Mind The Big Gay Throwdown Atone Deaf God's Bro Reunited,and it Feels Good Not Without My Cashcow Special features include Art+music - This aint a hat, its a ragtop for a sex convertible - funny pete stuff - bumps - dragon con 2009 Finally I'd like to comment on the packaging which I'm a bit disappointed with compared to the previous 2 volumes, it's a standard plastic dvd case with no slipcover, feels kinda cheap. Overall Squidbillies is an excellent show and this dvd is no exception. I highly recommend it to fans and newcomers alike. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Don't repeat Squidbillies quotes in public,
By G. Fredericks "Book Worm" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Squidbillies V3 (DVD)
The quotes just don't make sense. Unless you've seen and enjoy the show. So they come across as random. Or even downright inappropriate. And when you deliver it in the southern accent, you'll get some strange looks. Or get an unwanted reputation for being crazy or outright insane.Don't be surprised if bystanders call the police on you. You've been warned. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

I bought this and vol2 as part of my BF's Christmas gift. He LOVES this show. Personally, its a little too much guy humor for me to enjoy unless I've knocked back a few drinks. Aqua Teen Hunger Force makes a good pairing for this video (or so my boyfriend says.)
