How's everyone liking the show so far? I think it's pretty decent but won't hit it's stride unless it gets a second season (highly unlikely). Billy is too much like post-movie Spongebob in certain episodes. Wretcher isn't an entertaining antagonist like a Lord Hater or Doofensmirtz so you don't really care about his subplots. Marsha a cute.
She's adorably dumb without getting into lolsorandomXD territory
Kevin Mitchell
so when's the episode where Zeke and Marsha fuck
Tyler Jackson
They hug in episode 7
Ethan Foster

The use of "Catch Me if You Can" in episode 3 proves that there's a full version we have yet to hear.
Landon Torres
I love that scene, felt like a comfy movie for a moment.
Ayden Turner
yeah i feel like the grossout isn't necessary
maybe if the scientist angle of billy was played up more i could accept it.
Easton Hernandez
I work at an arcade and during my seven hour shift they literally played this show on Disney XD for like three hours straight. I only could read subtitles. Is it made by some guy who worked on the newer Mad show? The hand designs seem very familar.
Cooper Morris
It was made by Aaron Springer, the guy responsible for Korgoth, Periwinkle, Baloobaloob, and some of your favorite Spongebob and Mickey Mouse episodes.
I can see the resemblance to MAD but it's more a Beano/newspaper comic style being used.
Brody Barnes
i wonder how the ratings did, they deathslotted this show pretty hard
Connor King
This is from the people who release the Nielsen ratings to the public.
The show's doomed.
Lucas Thomas
oh god I'm sad
Jacob Thompson
It's clear that shoving Billy Dilley out of the way in time for DuckTales and SvtFoE Season 3 to get the spotlight was Disney's plan all along.
The question, though, is why they even bothered picking up Aaron Springer's show and giving him free reign to get as unconventionally surreal as possible. They must've known five episodes in how weird the show would be and should've gotten Springer to rework some ideas to better appeal to mass audiences (similar to how Chris Savino was advised to make TLH about human characters instead of rabbits).
Spilling out the entire series (all 13 episodes) in one day short of a fortnight is even worse than anything Cartoon Network ever did!
Adam Murphy
The show's already dead and we haven't got any Marsha nudes. WHAT THE FUCK
Alexander Perry
I liked Wretcher.
Ian Roberts
why would disney greenlight a show just to kill it?
Eli Johnson
He's alright, but after the comedic brilliance of past villains like Doofenshmirtz and Lord Hater, Count Wretcher's a bit of a dud.
Wyatt White
What are the chances that episode 13 ends with them going back to the surface?
Jonathan Phillips
Honestly, it looks like a 50/50 chance. In my eyes, Billy Dilley's premise and its overall execution of it seems like it was intended as a short-length series.
Hunter Howard
It's also pretty obvious this was either part of a deal Springer made with Disney, or simply filling the "we must have a balance between cartoons and live action!" quota Disney has, in much the same way DC contracts CN to air their shit, but CN airs it on dead slots.
Cameron Jenkins
Especially a traditionally animated show.
Landon Hill
Any chance of him reviewing the show?
Does he even know it premiered already?
Jayden Lewis
discreet bump
Nicholas Gutierrez
Pan posts here so it's likely.
Ayden Gutierrez
>caring about diaperfag pizza's shit opinions
Carter Young
You do realize that if he even mentions the show on his Tumblr, it could reach tons of people and possibly pull in more Billy Dilley viewers.
Not many people even know that the show exists.
Christian Stewart
There's 3 currently, one of them someone actually took the time to animate.
Anthony Watson
Now that's dedication.
Ayden Mitchell
Star gets piss poor ratings as well but does well enough online/on the app/on demand that it's considered a success in disney's eyes
Brandon Foster
Among the trio, Zeke surprised me the most. He's a pretty likable bro if a bit thin-skinned.
David Russell
you also have to remember Disney XD is a premium channel
Jaxson Carter
>'So, Lisa... Why DOES the early bird always get the worm?'
Nicholas Price
probably won't even see it mentioned on his new list next week
John Moore
Yeah I was afraid he was going to be Squidward 2.0 but he actually likes Billy being around
Eli Stewart
Is that next week already? I haven't seen Pan mention Billy Dilley even once, so he probably still doesn't know it's been out for almost a week.
Luke Gonzalez
Which crew member is that even from? And what's the context?
Eli Ward
The resolution cue that's shown up in various episodes ("Lab Friends... Forever?", "Surviving Billy", and "The Date" are other instances) always gets me. The music in this show is just so comfy!
Xavier Reed
I don't know where it's from, but the context is the Hagwitch is showing a picture of her sisters to Billy Dilly.
Nicholas Fisher
Aaron's voice is inconsistent. Sometimes it sounds good and other times like unbearable baby talk for 11 minutes.
Is he trying to go for a Homestar kind of thing with Billy's voice? It ain't working.
Ryder Bailey
Well, he has the misfortune of not being a natural-born voice actor as well as a cartoon creator (e.g. Seth MacFarlane, Alex Hirsch, Dan & Swampy, Pete Browngardt, etc.).
It's still cool that he stepped up to do the job, though, but sometimes ya got it; sometimes ya don't.

This joke felt very Spongebob
Carter Torres
I love this show. And I really enjoy the fact that there's a wacky show that's not slice of life where the main characters genuinely enjoy each others company yet there's still plenty of conflicts and laughs. And I love that they found a way to make a boy genius flawed outside of being condescending or being completely lacking of any sort of social skills.
Hunter Russell
Did Gary Larson have anything to do with this show? The art reminds me of The Far Side.
William Perry
Disney XD's ratings inherently suck. For comparison, Pokemon got higher ratings in Cartoon Network's death slot than it does on Disney XD with proper advertising. It's because most cable packages don't include it.
A show not getting into the top 150 programs isn't an indication o f how well it's doing.
Ayden Baker
>it's more a Beano Someone finally got it >why would disney greenlight a show just to kill it? At least THIS one can talk
Charles Miller
Yeah it's funny: everyone who ISN'T Billy is Beano but Billy himself is like a shitty Chinese knockoff of Far Side aesthetics. They don't work together that well.
thanks user it's been a while since i've had a good rage
if you hate billy and don't like the show's sense of humour you're obviously not going to enjoy it. also i get the vibe this guy's only watched the first episode. he's right about most people being indifferent though ;_;
oh jesus christ a show made for actual children and not emotionally stunted adults without any waifus, relationshit, edge, hip nostalgia references or innuendo flying under the radar
Which is probably why I don't like it but then again I'M NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE
Sebastian Ortiz

Adrian Bailey
I like the absurdity of this argument. As if children can't handle anything other than 12 minutes of wacky yelling, falling, and gross out humor
Adrian Scott
>It's because most cable packages don't include it.
seriously? every single one i've seen includes it in the basic pack.
Jose Torres
>only saw the first episode >didn't watch anything after the pilot >bitches about the animation consistency, doesn't know how the animation only did that once why though?
Brandon Lopez
If we followed your logic children would have never gotten shows like Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, Gargoyles, etc
Liam Robinson
Mike Judge and the South Park guys are also good examples
Alexander Anderson
I am not complaining about more complex shows, I am saying that it's refreshing to see something that hits where it aims and isn't trying to evolve a medium.
There's nothing absurd about saying "I forgot that kid shows can be just for kids and I don't need to complain about those that don't appeal to me for this reason."
