The programme is in the vein of other American adult orientated cartoons such as Family Guy and South Park with its politically incorrect humour and shockingly hilarious scenes that would only be possible in a show like this.
The show focuses on the couple Rick and Steve who as the title suggests are the happiest gay couple in the world, however the title is laced with irony, as they deal with typical spats that all couples experience and the issue of Steve actively seeking a threesome with his boyfriend Rick, that ends with some hilarious circumstances.
The show typically focuses on three couples, the first being Rick and Steve and the other two being the lesbian couple Dana (the man hating butch lesbian stereotype) and Kirsten (a typical lipstick lesbian), who deal with the issues of getting pregnant with Rick’s sperm and having a baby. Just be aware having a baby isn’t as straight forward when a lego lesbian gets pregnant.
The last couple are the HIV positive and paraplegic Chuck and the drug taking scene queen Evan, who struggle with their relationship due to the 31-year age gap between them. I told you it wasn’t very politically correct.
As a whole the programme is hilarious, shocking, laugh out loud, at times a little disgusting and cringe worthy in parts when you realise what’s about to happen. But as it is a cartoon you can sit back and relax with the satisfaction that this wouldn’t happen in real life … well at least you hope it wouldn’t.
The show ran from 2007-2009 and there are currently no plans for a third series, which is a shame as a gay equivalent to the Seth MacFarlane franchise would have been nice. But then again Family Guy was cancelled and brought back so there is hope.
