Since dialogue is kept to a minimum, the humor is entirely visual.ĭepending on the channel or streaming service, a series typically contains 3 episodes (4 episodes in the case of airings on Netflix until September 2017) or parts, aired in order at the discretion of said channel or service. Despite these, most gags are easily accessible and enjoyable for younger viewers. While traditional slapstick cartoon characters prefer dropping anvils and pianos on each other, this show sometimes even uses buses or submarines. The cartoon itself relies on slapstick humor, which (similar to Ren and Stimpy) the series wanted to revive the style of the classic golden age of animation, only amplifying the level of extremities up a notch. Oggy usually finds creatures accompanying him to the end of the episode, such as crabs, clams, a horse, a very technologically advanced child, a puppy, and even an octopus. The trio seems to enjoy generally making Oggy's life miserable, which involves mischief ranging from (in most cases) plundering his fridge to such awkward things like hijacking the train Oggy just boarded. The show centers on Oggy, a content and lazy, albeit very tender fat blue cat, who would usually spend his days watching TV or doing something - if it wasn't for the three roaches in the household: Joey, Dee Dee and Marky (named after members of the punk group, the Ramones). 9 References to Oggy and the Cockroaches.8.7 K2, Frisbee (Italy) / KidsClick (USA).
