The Nutshack is a Filipino-American adult animated sitcom created by Ramon Lopez, and co-created by Jesse Hernandez. The series ran on Myx TV for two seasons from 2007[4] to 2011.[5] The Nutshack follows two distant cousins, Phil, from the San Francisco Bay Area, and Jack, from the Philippines, who live with their uncle, Tito Dick in south-suburban Daly City.
Characters
Main characters
- Phil Matibag (voiced by Ramon Lopez) is a harsh, foul-mouthed Filipino-American teen from Daly City south of San Francisco known for his annoying personality. Phil frequently uses drugs like marijuana, and has poor manners. Aside from his negative nature, he cares deeply about his cousin, Jack. As of "Fatherland", Phil was separated from his family and was adopted by Tito Dick and his brother. It is presumably known that Phil was born from a family of natives.
- Jack Colero (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is Phil's dim-witted, but warm-hearted cousin from Makati.
- Tito "Dick" Dickman (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is Phil and Jack's strabic uncle. As evidenced by the pilot, his real name is Ricardo Cabeza.
- Chita (voiced by Rhia Abarquez) is Phil and Jack's female friend who runs the local bar. She is also Jack's love interest.
- Horatio 2.0, also known as Horatio or Horat (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is Jack's robotic pet monkey (a tarsier) with a chipmunk-esque voice, and the comic relief character of the series.
Recurring characters
- Dwayne Futon (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is Tito Dick's goofy landlord who is often made a fool of.
- Cherry Pie (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is a friendly and flirtatious Vietnamese trans woman who runs a salon and is a virgin.
- Sanjee (voiced by Ramon Lopez) runs the liquor store and also a top distributor in pornography in Daly City.
- Ed and Angel (both voiced by Jesse Hernandez) own a custom car shop and are both stoners. Ed usually forgets everything after just a few seconds and often cannot recall where he is, what time of day, or people's names. Angel is Latino.
- Willee (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is a gibbering homeless man known for his unintelligible speech.
Minor characters
- Becky
- Manu
- Rainbow Scout
- Jerome and Jamar (voiced by Jerome Castro and Jamar Logan) are Phil and Jack's rivals.

Critical reception
The Nutshack received largely negative feedback, infamously known for its weak animation and background art, incomprehensible voice acting, disturbing toilet humor, homophobic caricatures, inane theme song, and vulgar themes such as drug use and sexuality. It gained a 2.3 rating on IMDb, currently making it the eleventh lowest-rated animated series on the site.[7]
