Synopsis

Yakkity Yak is an Australian/American/Canadian animated television series created by Mark Gravas that ran on Nickelodeon from November 9, 2002 to December 12, 2003. The show was known for its extreme lack of reality, and for its extreme silliness and featured a style of animation which broke with past Nickelodeon tradition. The show features an anthropomorphic yak named Yakkity who wants to make it to stardom by becoming a comedian. Along the way, he has adventures with his two best friends Keo and Lemony, a young human girl.

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
tommypezmaster I don't see what everyone sees in Yakkity Yak because it is the worst Nick show I have ever seen and it's an insult to Happy tree Friends. I mean it, it's WAY overrated and I Will tell you why: 1) Highpant. Need I say more? I will anyway, Mr. Highpants is the worst Yakkity character who has ever been created. He's just really annoying and he ruins the show.2) The voice acting. The VA in this show is horrible, especially Highpant's VA. He sounds like he has absolutely no personality what so ever. Rondo sounds like a dead elephant, Lemony voice is just high-pitched and annoying, The Robot mime sounds too sexy (which is stupid), and so on and so foreth. This bugs me in CatDog too. Why would Satain the Bunny (I refuse to call him Rancid Rabbit) change his voice when he yells at a person (Cat)that he hates most? LAME!!! CatDog just got stupidder3) I hear that in one episode, Lemony made fun of Yakkity at school.4) How is it that Yakkity goes to school? pelswick was a great Nicktoon show but this one is just terrible and I don't recommend it to anyone. Sorry CatDog, but I can't give it to ya this time.
theguys1 This and Mucha Lucha are the worst shows on television. Whoever they hired for the voices of the characters, I feel deep sorrow for them for being on such a show. The grandmother Yak is the scariest because she looks like a toddler drew her and not one bit of this show is funny. Actually, all the characters on this show look like a baby drew them. If I were you, I wouldn't watch this or Mucha Lucha. I'm so glad they took this off Nick. It was beyond annoying.For a cartoon to be a success, you have to have some conflict and unforgettable characters that people will love. Shows like Catscratch, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Spongebob have this element well put in. Yakkity Yak does not.
Juli Yakkity Yak himself is an preteen yak. He lives with his grandmother in Onion Falls. His grandmother is a human. His two best friends are a little girl, Susie, and a Kio, a boy that is half pineapple and half human. Kio's dad is a pineapple that lives in a fruit basket. Yakkity wants to be a stand up comedian and goes to do stand-up regularly; however, he always gets booed off and no one thinks he is funny. The three kids love to go to the candy shop owned by Mr. Highpants and visit Mr. Crazyhair, the local mad scientist.To some this may sound contrived, and the writers milk it. The humor in the show will appeal to children and those with an off sense of humor. It does teach lessons about being a good friend and doing your chores, just like most other cartoons. These little morals aren't so sickeningly sweet that it spoils the show for adults, though. It's almost like Super Milk Chan (on adult swim), except it makes sense and is appropriate for children.Yakkity Yak is a good late night laugh for those who enjoy weird cartoons and like characters that aren't so average.
artimusduck What can be said about this? It's a pale rip-off of Spongebob, which was a pale rip-off of Johnny Bravo, that was a derivative piece of you know what. The animation is identical to all the other minimalist thick-outline Powerpuff Girls (Hanna Barberra inspired) follow the leader junk that's out there, the voices are typically annoying (trying to be "whacky" and failing miserably), the storylines are insipid. Desperate to be "hip" with the "Hot Topic" tweenager crowd, it is a by-th-books, connect-th-dots waste of a half hour. My fear is that Gravas actually thinks he's hip and edgy. He is redundant and derivative, like Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents and the carbon copy garbage that the rest of those Kricfulusi wannabes churn out ad nauseum. TURN OFF THE TV.
