In the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia lays a small place called Dougal County. A rundown town ripe with illegal activity, debauchery, strange citizens, and all the alcohol and drugs one can want. Within the county is the Cuyler Clan, hillbilly squids — the titular squidbillies — that drink, make meth, mud-bog, and destroy property. The family includes: Early Cuyler, the main character of the series. He is the extremely violent, abusive, and drunk patriarch of the family. His hat always changes between shows, usually saying something like "Booty Hunter", "Sonny Lied!", or "Guns Don't Kill People, I Do". Rusty Cuyler, Early's son. He is more naïve and morally centered, but is also dumb and gullible. He was orignally a "Well Done, Son" Guy but later episodes have him more mature and well-rounded, effectively becoming the Only Sane Man of the clan. Granny Cuyler, the feeble and senile mother of Early and Lil (maybe their granny or great granny, it's unclear the exact relation). She often sees visions of squid-Jesus. Lil, who runs a meth operation/beauty salon. Not quite a common character. There is more to the clan but they're family tree is so tangled that it's hard to list them all. The Cuylers are the last of their species, the Appalachian Mud Squids.Among the town citizens include: The Sheriff, who is quite frankly terrible at his job. He frequently hangs out with the Cuylers but it always ends up with him getting used or maimed by Early. Initially a bit of a Straight Man to Early, he quickly turned into a good-natured Manchild. He dies fairly often, but is replaced by another sheriff from a sheriff clone farm (though it hasn't come up in later episodes, likely as an effort to develop him). Later in the series he is accompanied by Deputy Denny, a child-sized malformed clone of himself that tends to be a bit more competent at his job. There is Dan Halen, the Corrupt Corporate Executive and owner of Dan Halen Industries. A demonic entity that has existed for all time and spends his days furthering his evil goals. He effectively controls the town. His company appears to make sheetrock, but really dabbles in illegal activities and strange and often horrifying scientific experiments.Season six introduces Tammi, a Closer to Earth redneck girl who becomes Rusty's girlfriend. Their relationship kickstarts a Story Arc where the two concieve a son named Macho Man Randy Cuyler. Having more responsibilities and needing to financially provide for them, Rusty becomes more sane and mature as he gradually realizes how awful his family (mostly Early) and home life really is - which would come to head in the final season.A typical episode of the show has the family run rampant around their town; interacting with the locals and supernatural beings/happenings. They cause all sorts of antics and crimes that will eventually lead to massive destruction, the maiming of innocents and also themselves, and usually lots of casualties also including themselves. Most plots are never resolved and episodes frequently end on a comedic smash cut to credits. As time went on the show took a backseat on its satire on southern life and just became more insane, with copious loads of Gorn and Bloody Hilarious slapstick.The show was initially one of the more controversial series to air on [adult swim]; the pilot debuted on April Fools' Day 2004, to horrible reviews (in the show's defense, the premiere was a rough cut - "rough cut" here meaning that some portions were not even fully animated). However, when the series was officially premiered in October 2005*It was supposed to premiere in November 2004, but fell behind schedule and was replaced with Perfect Hair Forever in the meantime, the series slowly but surely found its niche. It now has something of a cult following, and became one of Adult Swim's longest running shows, with thirteen seasons and over one hundred thirty episodes, formally ending its run in December of 2021 with a Grand Finale.

Title Drop
 Squidbillies / int_18d15922
comment
Title Drop: In "Drone to the Bone" Early drops the title in a Awesome Music moment. Strangely, this is actually the first time in eight seasons that the title had been used in show other than by the narrator. It also should be noticed that the show started out with a title drop of the name of the first episode, "This Show is called Squidbillies".

 Squidbillies / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers for 'Gun of a Son' portray the episode revolving around Early shooting Rusty but in the actual episode Early quickly blames it on his grandson and is hardly mentioned until the end of the episode, the rest of the episode revolves around Early finding a new weapon to use since he broke his sawed-off shotgun.

Sunday is Boring
 Squidbillies / int_1b7abcdc
comment
Sunday is Boring: The episode "A Sober Sunday" has Early going mad from boredom due to not having access to alcohol as laws prohibit stores from selling it on Sundays, going to great lengths to find a way to get himself drunk. When Granny points out that he could just buy some on Saturday night to drink on Sunday to avoid this problem, Early considers it to be too inconvenient to do. Meanwhile, Dan Halen works to try and overturn said laws with the Reverend trying to stop him.

Hillbilly Incest: The Cuylers are a Dysfunctional Family of hillbilly squids, and there's a lot of incest within their family tree. Just to name a few examples: Gaga Pee-Pap is both Granny Ruby Jean's brother and ex-husband and he has made out with his grandson Rusty. Early's often implied to have non-consensual sex with his sister Lil. Rusty and his girlfriend Tammi are revealed to be half-siblings, but they still stay together and have a son named Randy.

Black Comedy: Most of Dan Halen's products. In the pilot, where Dan Halen's baby hammock ends up in the death of numerous babies. He also sells a "Baby Death Trap" being a hazardous electrified stuffed animal. Another episode features Dan Halen threatening the town to upgrade to the next level cable system or he'll drop a baby from the top of his building. In his defense, the baby was Chinese. In the episode Lerm, it's also revealed that Early likes to commit vehicular homicide as a hobby. One of them he hits was holding a baby which flies off the side of the vehicle. It likely did not survive.

Iron Butt Monkey: Granny Cuyler once had her skeleton ripped out of her after pulling Early's truck-boat-truck up a mountain (don't ask why a squid would even have a skeleton in the first place) and was (sort of) back to normal in the very next scene (see Snapback for more) It should be known that this is not the only instance of abuse Granny suffers in the series.

Later, Early lays one as well and shows over protection for it. In the end it's revealed that it happened because the Cuylers had recently been drinking an unhealthy amount of mercury. Which also resulted in the eggs hatching thousands of vampire squids.

Butt-Monkey

comment
Butt-Monkey: Granny Cuyler and the Sheriff, but just about everyone else could qualify at times, too. Iron Butt Monkey: Granny Cuyler once had her skeleton ripped out of her after pulling Early's truck-boat-truck up a mountain (don't ask why a squid would even have a skeleton in the first place) and was (sort of) back to normal in the very next scene (see Snapback for more) It should be known that this is not the only instance of abuse Granny suffers in the series. Similarly, the Sheriff is Made of Plasticine, but you'd be surprised how well he survives losing his organs, losing his head, getting savagely beat up, etc. But it may be because he's a genetically engineered plant man who is constantly replaced by the next ripest Sheriff of the crop Early became Karma's favorite punching bag past the first three or so seasons. He's regularly suffering from bloody maiming and humilation on a costant basis but often comes up in the next scene unscathed or at most hospitalized.

Black Comedy Rape
 Squidbillies / int_4c851777
comment
Black Comedy Rape: When showing Rusty how to be a man, Early rapes Krystal in her sleep. He gets arrested, but of course, is freed instantly after. Durwood's wife, while drunk, seduces and has sex with Rusty who is presumably being a minor, making this statutory rape. Durwood's solution is to violently club Rusty in the head and dump him in a sack back at the Cuyler home. It's not specified if Durwood intended Rusty to survive this or not.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Squidbillies / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The show started out with a bit of a satire take on the Southern life, but soon discarded the concept and decided to keep things batshit insane. Season One has a noticeable amount of continuity going on inbetween episodes. Seasons two and onwards lean heavily on Negative Continuity with episodes ending in points where the main cast cannot ever recover from certain situations. Satan, in episode 25, is a cool and malicious being with a darkly-comedic streak; in episode 9 (his debut) he's a motormouthed, probably drug-addled schizoid who constantly swears, such words being dubbed over with words like "sweet potatoes" and "favorite". The malformed Sheriff clone Denny starts out by shooting in the head anyone not melted by Dan Halen's body spray cloud and whittling down his own arm into a toothpick, but by the musical episode has become a somewhat Hypercompetent Sidekick who correctly identifies the raw uranium "yellow cake" and deduces Al-Quaeda's terrorist plan. The show having a narrator. He eventually vanished from the show. He returns in the Series Finale to narrate the epilogue. The Sheriff clone farm has been largely neglected (in fact it never becomes significant again past the episode "Dead Squid Walking" in season five) aside from the existence of Denny.

Body Horror: The Ultimate Party Platter chickens from "Wing Nut". They are chickens genetically engineered to the point where their entire body basically consists of nothing but wings, they naturally secrete hot sauce from their pores, they defecate blue cheese dressing (and, if ordered to, their own to-go boxes), their legs are celery sticks, and eating them causes rapid development of massive tumors and can even make the eater explode. And yes, they are breathing and alive.

Disproportionate Retribution: During a class reunion, Sheriff blows Dan Halen's brains out for all the times he bullied him in high school. But then again, Dan Halen is a despicable demon who has gotten away with an ungodly amount of horrendous actions since the beginning of time. Anytime Early wants revenge for something, it's likely that it'll be a miniscule offense, such as beating the hell out of a radio host to for talking down to him.

Police Are Useless: The Sheriff, who literally lets the prisoners waltz out of jail through revolving doors. In another instance he witnesses a crippled kid get run over by a truck (the driver doesn't even bother to stop before or after running over him) and rather than get in his car and chase down the vehicular homicidal maniac, he just complains that now the junior football season is moot and returns to his ballet class.

Karma Houdini Warranty: Then again as time went on the show gave these two guys their just desserts. Early especially became the Karmic Butt-Monkey of the series past the first three or so seasons. He is regularly put through humilation, maiming, and torture — most of which is his own fault. He becomes Hated by All, including his own family. There are a number of later episodes that are pretty much dedicated to Early being put in his place. Dan Halen has also been losing on a more consistent basis as well.

Really 700 Years Old
 Squidbillies / int_5c5ac0e2
comment
Really 700 Years Old: Dan Halen is really 20,000 years old and have been behind countless acts of evil, such as attacking protestors at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the invasion of Poland in 1939, torturing political prisoners in the Middle Ages, spreading Bubonic Plague, killing dozens in the French Revolution, sacrificing Aztecs to their gods, controlling slaves building the pyramids of Egypt, and nailing Jesus to the cross. He also "accidently" single handedly killed the dinosaurs and may have invented fire. And he was also a transvestite cabaret host in Berlin in 1926.

Brother–Sister Incest: Thankfully averted when Early tries to have his way with a passed out Lil, after much sexual frustration, only stopping due to the criticization of Granny and Rusty. Not that it matters because right after Early leaves Granny decides to do the exact same thing. Rusty and Tammi are revealed to be half-sibings early on. It does little to stop their attractions to one another. In a flashback, Ga-Ga asks for Granny's hand in marriage... only to reveal he's asking his own mother.

Laser-Guided Karma

Laser-Guided Karma: Early is quite the despicable character. He is an abusive (both physically and emotionally) parent, treats his own mom like a slave, committed many crimes, shows zero sympathy to anyone, and regularly kills innocents over small reasons — and usually got away with it. But later on he started to receive his comeuppance in on a constant basis, especially when the show's animation quality increased, allowing Early to suffer many visceral and painful fates. Some notable ones include: "The Fine 'Ol Solution", where his attempts of trying to get rid off all the immigrants in town ends up with him trapped inside his own home as the border wall he built around it has no exits. According to Rusty, the town held a parade over his permanent absence. "Hetero-cephalo Agenda", where he is slowly and painfully mauled and torn asunder by a bear in an absolutely dumb attempt to protest against gay marriage. The excursion was so traumatizing that Early (for once in the series) actually rescinded his point and admitted that he was wrong — too bad he gets mauled to death in the end. "The Guzzle Bumpkin", where he gets trapped under a literal ton of dog crap and has to invokedeat his way out of it — only to get immediately crushed to death by a garbage truck. "Dewey Two-ey" doubles as both a Humiliation Conga and a Mutilation Conga for Early as his life is made hell by Dewey culminating in the latter marrying Granny seemingly just to spite Early. The Series Finale, "This Show Was Called Squidbillies", is a big Humiliation Conga for him. Rusty steals Early's precious truck and runs away with Tammi and Randy to Elberton, cutting off ties with Early and holding no promises to ever return. Granny's ghost returns and enacts sweet revenge on Early by wailing on him with a frying pan. The final shot we see of Early is him alone in his shack, bitterly drinking alcohol as he sees on social media how happy Rusty is with his new life without him.

Plot Immunity
 Squidbillies / int_a2bad7b2
comment
Plot Immunity: Apparently, only the main characters are capable of using the excessive Snap Back. For example, in "Thou Shall Not Drill" a series of events leads to the awakening of a monster known as the Red Whiskered Shalemander. It eats Granny, and disembowels P. Nut, who was introduced in that episode. Of course Granny lived to the next episode but P. Nut didn't. The Cuylers also had a moment of silence on the night of his death but apparently couldn't care less about their "deceased" grandmother. So it may be implied that they are aware of their immortality.

Healing Factor
 Squidbillies / int_a5fb0d24
comment
Healing Factor: Subverted in Limbitless. Early, realizing that as a squid he can regenerate his tentacles, uses this to abuse worker’s compensation by repeatedly mutilating himself and waiting for the missing limbs to grow back. But because he does it so frequently? Eventually they become unable to grow back. An injury can only heal so many times before it becomes degenerative. And Early didn’t give himself enough time to properly heal.

Status Quo Is God: No matter what, the Cuylers can never get away from their life of poverty. Examples include winning the lottery, only for it to be a coupon to be torn apart by monster trucks, or getting an insurance check, only for Early to split it equally by tearing it into three, thinking that's how a check works. However, in a couple episodes like "Limbitless", they actually to come through the episode with a small profit...... usually at the cost of their limbs or something else.

Coming of Age Story: The show gradually became one for Rusty. Rusty was initially an incredibly gullible and immature squid who admired his father and frequently joined in on his heinous hijinks. But as time went on became a genuine mature Nice Guy who got a girlfriend and concieved a son that he greatly cares for. He grew more tired of Early and the rest of the family's illegal activities and debauchery. By the last few seasons he practically goes against his father in many episodes and by the Series Finale he outright abandons him, steals his truck, and runs off with his girlfriend and son to a new city with no promise of returning.

Too Dumb to Live: The Sheriff, often literally. Good thing he has several hundred replacement bodies. The Cuylers, and by extension, the entire Mud Squid species is this. You can't have a single episode where there is at least a gag where the squids act insanely reckless and accidentally hurt themselves and the people around from an easily preventable accident. No wonder why the species is nearly extinct.

Caught Up in the Rapture: Squid-Jesus accidentally turns on the Rapture and everyone starts floating up to heaven. Dan Halen, not to be left behind, takes a rocket pack and flies up to heaven to cut in line. Heaven apparently has a limit to how many people can get in, because Dan was the last person allowed in, leaving the Sheriff to go back down. Meanwhile, the Reverend is still down on Earth, lamenting about not being chosen.

Shout-Out: The title of episode 25, "Mephistopholes Traveled Below To A Southern State Whose State Motto Is 'Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation'", is another way of saying the name of the Charlie Daniels Band song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". Tom Treebow of the Crocodiles of the University of the Peninsular State, Just Below Georgia. That's in addition to other references to Southeastern Conference football, such as the credits scene where Early and T-Pain record a rap with the lyrics "I like driving in my truck / Auburn sucks!" Starting with the episode "Atone Deaf", The show started to have many references to the Adult Swim pilot called Cheyenne Cinnamon From the Adult Swim Pilot Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, merchandise of the said pilot is seen in many episodes. Attempted In-Universe by Dan Halen when Early wins the lottery, only for him to ominously reveal "Congratulations, Early. You finally won the lottery...Shirley Jackson's Lottery!." No one gets the reference, and Dan Halen ends up having to read the short story to the Cuylers before they understand (and even then Early needs further clarification.)

Lighter and Softer: The final season is noticeably not as dark or violent as the rest of the series. There is not as much gore, the crimes committed by Early are nowhere near as destructive and dangerous (the worse being his morgue service), almost nobody dies onscreen or when they do it is not as detailed as before, and the plots are much breezier and less nonsensical. It feels like there is an active absence of the mean spiritedness and cruelty the show is known for. Even the Series Finale ends on a genuine Surprisingly Happy Ending for everyone except Early.

Limited Animation
 Squidbillies / int_e034faef
comment
Limited Animation: Much like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, note Both shows are spearheaded by Dave Willis so there are naturally some similarities the characters only have one walking animation. It's mostly noticeable with the Sheriff, whose legs don't actually move, only his feet rotate in 90° arcs while his body moves in a direction. Although in more recent seasons, the Sheriff is getting more and more animations and angles and in a couple episodes ("Vicki", "Squash B Gosh", "Jacksonville Jackass", "Bunker Down, You Hairy Dawg") getting legitmate walking cycles! This is downplayed in later seasons. See: Animation Bump.

Art Evolution: As the show continues, the more grotesque human character designs were slowly phased out and replaced with more normal looking people populating Dougal County.

Gorn: A fair amount but not nearly as much as other [adult swim] shows such as Metalocalypse and Superjail!.

No Ending

comment
No Ending: Most episodes just abruptly end mid scene with plots left unresolved and usually one (sometimes more) of the Cuylers or Sheriff dying.

comment
Running Gagged: The penultimate episode of the final season has Deputy Denny burning every single hat he has ever worn when they were covered in lice. The final episode has Early wearing his original "Booty Hunter" hat since he has no more.

Snapback: Episodes often end with everyone dying. Characters will be horrifically injured and then back to normal in the same scene.

"Get Out of Jail Free" Card
 Squidbillies / int_f142296a
comment
"Get Out of Jail Free" Card: To a ridiculous and irrational extent with Sheriff, constantly releasing Early to the point where he may as well not be taken to jail at all.

Complexity Addiction
 Squidbillies / int_f6b698ac
comment
Complexity Addiction: Dan Halen's plots are usually far more complex than the end goal justifies, such as using a massive clone army to rig the vote to revoke Dougal County's dry Sunday status, making the whole city blind so as to win a softball game, or building a copy of the Large Hadron Collider to open a black hole for the sole purpose of disposal of a dead hooker. Lampshaded by the Sheriff in "Mud Days and Cornfused", who interrupts Dan's explanation of his master scheme to accuse him of engineering the Cornzu to corner the world ethanol market. Dan, despite being completely ignorant of biofuels and their value, immediately realizes what a much better idea that is, and nervously tries to bluff his way out of the actual reveal on his monitor: using it to make cheap children's toys.
