In 1991, MTV debuted His animated program for exhibition of "Liquid Television", And that was a huge step for the medium. Artists of the underground comics and the coming animators suddenly had a location, at one of the most popular stations on American television, to exhibit their work and do bold experiments. In the early 1990s, the animation occupied a turnaround-loud-dawn from the corporate mentality of the previous decade and to Edier, workers-driven. The Simpsons and The Ren & Stimpy Show pushed the ship, and "Liquid TV" was a whole Marina full of smaller support (not to strain a metaphor).

"Liquid Television" was where the audience first saw Mike's first "Bevis and butt" for the first time, and where they got their first taste of Peter Jung's "æky Flux". These shorts eventually turned into their independent animated shows. "Liquid Television" was testing for new animated voices.

In 1994, however, MTV decided to cancel the usual test pitches and launch its first non-"fluid" animated series in the form of Danny Antonuci's "rough". Antonucci's series has entered deliberately, aggressive biological aesthetics of "Rehn and Stimmy Show", but pushed it to the extreme of nausea, boasting of a non -verbal, lumps with pulsating veins on the neck, omitted eyeballs and flowing people. "Brothers Grant" was supposed to be disgusting, and boy Haudi was. It was moving in seven minutes MTV segments late at night, usually after "Beavis and Butt-Head". The titular grant brothers would also watch music videos, though they would mostly dance together, watching as they could care, complain and clean.

Some find that "Grant Brothers" is one of the worst animated series of all time, a bold statement. At the very least, Antonucci will leave his mark and continue to create a hit on the 1999 cartoon network.

The "Brothers Grant" premise was very, very strange. The Underground Brotherhood consisted of five members, Each named after the crowners of the 1950s: Frank, Tony, Ben, Dean and Sammy. Package with a plague rat, if desired. They had glued, blue-weak skin, blue hair and green tongues. They only wore boxing shorts, suspensions of socks and wing shoes, and the nipples were always Akimbo. They just ate cheese and drank only Martini. The sixth member of the fraternity, Perry, disappeared, maybe living among the people. Other members needed to get out of their monastery in search of him. They were taken care of by one person who spoke like a lunate, Gruntus Pubach (Doug Parker), who told the show.

The origin of the brothers is extremely revolted. Pubach tells a story of a large, bread -humanoid creature, called Maxim, which constantly excretes the slime while hovering in the sewer chamber. The Pubach, armed with a paddle, walked the back of the maximum, peeling open flaps on its thick meat around the many pustules. Under one of the flaps, six brothers were formed for newborns. Pubach dropped them out of pus and raised them. The brothers do nothing but to resist and strain, barely alive, because they half-chop in the world around them. Perry was declared chosen, the title he rejected, causing him to escape.

The brothers care, while passing the human world, make many enemies. The central antagonist of the show was simply called a detective (also expressed by Parker), a man in a chicken suit that aims to arrest the brothers for their uncertainty. The brothers help the search for the ̇gnam lamp of Queen Dafeash (Ennenifer Wilson), a Turkish talking lamp.

"Grant Brothers" can serve as a cultural cheat of the unexpected hit album "Shunt: Benedictine monks of Santo Domingo de Siles" released the previous March. It was a record of Gregorian chants that, very iousubopite, became a huge commercial success. Then, the brothers pushed through a dark mirror to form a "grant brothers", a series of fleshy inhumane creatures that spoke as if they were always trying to desperately open the intestines. Of all the things to be parody, "singing" was an unusual goal.

But the Grant Brothers did not come out of nowhere. Antonucci, back in 1987, caused a stir with his vulgar and disgusting short film "Lupo butcher", short for the foul meat cutter, which accidentally cripples. The Lupo butcher made the circles of Spike & Mike Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation a few years before MTV was noticed. The network hired Antonucci to make an animated bumper, with he drew a character similar to Brother Grun "singing" the MTV logo. It was enough to get his original series. The show also received strong pressure. There were many ads and even a set of collecting cards for the series.

The Grant Brothers lasted 42 episodes (seven were not drawn) before they were merciful distorted by air waves. His purpose was to deter viewers, and some could say Was a little too successful.

Antonucci's next project, he explained (at the DVD commentary for the comments), was born on dare. Someone told him that his works were too gross for most people and that Atonucci should see if he was even capable of doing something for children. He sketched three little boys characters and They became the basis for "Ed, Ed Ed", A series that debuted at Cartoon Network in 1999. That show became a big hit for Cartoon Network and lasted six seasons. It's a good thing Antonuci has left out.
