Agent Elvis

Elvis 1968 to 1971 was about the coolest man on the planet. As cool or cooler than Elvis 1954 to 1958? Who cares!? This cartoon is late 60s, early 70s Elvis, reinvented in cartoon form as a Matt Helm/ Our Man Flint / Archer/ Johnny Bravo character. And ... it's cool! It's fun! It's stupid ... fun, cool stupid. The sort of Elvis fan who genuflects at his name will consider this toon romp as unforgiveable blasphemy, and will be most likely want to dump on the cartoon. I'm a fan of Elvis and have been for decades ... got a tattoo, everything he's recorded (bad and superb), etc. You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this series, but the silliness, stupid violence and general irreverence should give this wider appeal.

Some nice, subtle satire too.

At worst, Archer and Men In Black did it better (and first).

At best, it is a fun revisionist-history spy-comedy serial.

It does break new ground from its other comps by dialing up the cartoon nudity, cartoon sex, cartoon violence, cartoon pee, and cartoon zoophilia to 11. Part of those in that list don't feel earned; like the crude humor and side character deaths feel out of place and force just for the sake of being crude.

The voice acting is great, and the animation style is fun.

At the end of it all, I did sorta wish there was more than just 10 episodes, so I think it is worth a watch, and at least a second season.

This show is really funny. Making references not only to Elvis himself but to sixties culture in general. Yes, it is irreverent, violent and graphic but it is a lot of fun. Every episode had me cracking up.

Obviously this show is a tribute to the King and possibly to what he liked or would liked to have been: a spy. But it is also a nice spy show.

The characters are well written and their stories are funnier as the show progresses.

I loved how the writers decided to include every possible conspiracy theory out there just for the sake of it.

This show is not for everyone but those who like this type of animation (adult swim) and this kind of humor will definitely appreciate it.

I don´t think the show need any more episodes or seasons, it works just as it is.

Just because it's adult animation doesn't mean it's target audience is people in their 20's, the target is Elvis fans. I'm 35 and have been a fan of Elvis' for 22 years. I'm under 40 and I don't need to reference Wikipedia to know who Dean Martin is, unlike one user review suggested. I was born in '88 and had listened to every available recording of the Martin & Lewis radio show before I was even 20. When I watch Agent Elvis and delight in the references made about the other greats of the time, I feel like the show was made specifically for me. If a show can make a viewer feel seen, then it's a good show in my opinion.

This show pokes fun at everything Col Parker wanted Elvis to be, making light of the failed attempt at a Christmas special, the terrible movies, etc. I feel like Elvis himself would get a kick out of this show, especially with it not being G or PG rated. We all know Parker would have brokered some kind of deal with someone to make it a family friendly production and sucked the joy out of it in the process. Thankfully we have Priscilla at the helm, and considering her involvement in the Naked Gun movies, I don't doubt her judgement or sense of humour.

I don't think this show was made to revolutionise adult animation, I really think it's just a treat for Elvis fans. Everything the Presley family has done since Elvis' death has been to keep his memory alive, and having something new like this, instead of re-watching everything else he's done for the millionth time, is a refreshing way to remember and enjoy Elvis Presley.

I came for Elvis and his music, stayed for Matthew McConaughey - Best choice for voicing Elvis!

Miss these 60's era shows with their Pulp Fiction style action. The humour is crude and way more reflective of that time than now which may not work for a lot of the current generation.

Overall the series has a lot of potential. I do feel the cussing and f bombs went a bit overboard but the pace and style is good.

Being set in the 60s, a lot of humour would be impossible now with everything being offensive or triggering but if people can let go of their hangups and just enjoy this series as an animation, its a fun watch.
