Kevin Spencer (1998)
Kevin Spencer is an in-your-face-funny, adult oriented, animated comedy. It chronicles the wacky adventures of the massively eccentric Spencer family as seen through the eyes of their teenage son, Kevin, an oddly astute and likable sociopath-in-the-making. Part satire, part social commentary, but mostly just fun and funny, the stories are as surprising and unpredictable as they are hysterical.

Season 8:
Due to equal doses of self-abuse, brutal assaults and plain stupidity all three of the Spencer’s end up with brutal head injuries and living like savages in a city park. Soon they are mistaken for missing links and then end up living in a cage outside of a roadside gas station.
Percy wins yet another contest and this time he gets to be a judge on the latest heap of reality TV bile - The International Idolatry Talent Impersonating Contest of Mimicry. In the process, he becomes a bitchy, cutting sensation. Meanwhile, Mom is angry with Percy for getting an overly exuberant lap dance and decides to defy the bikers and unionize the town’s strippers. Kevin spends this episode being courted by and eventually sort of working with a secret sect of law enforcement bent on destroying art, music and comedy.
After getting caught practicing self-pleasure in the home of a local thug, Percy takes his family and flees to a ghost town to wait for the heat to die down. Unknown to the Spencer’s, the town is also about to become the set for Afroman and Pornman’s latest adult film opus. Finally tracked down by the bad guys, the Spencer’s, the porn actors and some shifty cowboys settle their differences with six shooters in a bloody homage to Peckinpah.
After stealing a mailbox full of their neighbors mail and cheques the Spencer’s stumble across an invitation to a high society black-tie and gown affair. Posing as their neighbor’s the McNaughton’s the Spencer destroy the bar and offend the guests but in the end turn out to be hero’s after thwarting some vaguely European hostage takers. Think Die Hard with more chronic alcoholism and morbid obesity.
A bit of bookender fun as the episode opens on a ‘Kevin Spencer Writing Meeting’ where Greg asks Rick for one more episode. He’ll be too busy helping runaway teen girls at “Camp WhoosYerDaddy”. Rick heads out to the Camel Toe Inn where he hangs out nearby, eavesdropping no the real Spencer family and interrogates them for ideas. Percy invites him on a B&E because he has a lighter. The theft doesn’t go well and Percy only gets some guard dogs, which he tries to pawn at Jimmy’s. Jimmy declines, as he’s going out of business. Percy depresses Jimmy so much that he manages to pawn a .32 calibre handgun, which used to belong to Rick’s mom. Finally they have enough to attend the air show and all get some shuteye except Rick and Kevin. Rick confesses to Kevin that he’s got a rough deadline and needs ideas. Kevin makes a deal with him. Kevin will rep him if Rick will mentor his writing. Rick mooches beer and gets institutionalized, Greg’s negotiations with Kevin go poorly and Percy and Anastasia drive off into the sunset…after the destruction of several downtown city properties.
Mom strokes out in a bar and dies, Percy slowly succumbs to necrotizing fasciitis, Marty fails at suicide but dies anyway and all the while Mr. Franklin (we don't really know it since in season 1 episode 8 we discover that there are two 'twin brothers' with the same nickname Mr. Franklin), Kevin’s first psychiatrist from season one is on a manhunt to destroy the boy. Eventually those left living cross paths, and the true nature of Kevin’s brain problems are revealed. In the end Allen the Goose enters the Morgue where Kevin took his mother's corpse (after Kevin dies by a car accident saying 'Good bye Allen') and is revealed that all the series and characters (even Kevin himself) are imagined by Allen due to certain Psychiatric problems.
