Description
Join Layta's quest to find her SNOWJACKED family every Tuesday, right here on Shut Up! Cartoons.
Theme Song
Layta: My family has been snowjacked.
Derf: I'll help you find your snowjacked family.
Layta: They're somewhere on this mountain.
Derf: I know this mountain like the back of my hand, and it isn't pretty.
Snowjacked, Snowjacked....
Snowjacked! Snowjacked!
Snow...jacked...snow...jacked!
Characters
Derf
A man who assists Layta in finding her snowjacked family. Derf is very agressive with everyone they meet on their way, even killing some people for little to no reason, and is not very bright, often leading him to make bad decisions for both him and Layta. He jokes around a lot and thinks that killing always solves problems.
Layta
Layta's family has been "snowjacked" somewhere on the mountain sometime before the series begins. With Derf, she searches the mountain for her family. Unlike Derf, Layta is usually calm and non-hostile towards the many characters they meet on their journey.
Jane
A woman who has been known to experiment on anything she captures. She was first seen experimenting on Layta thinking she's not human. She is short-tempered and a bit insane.
Brent
Brent is Jane's boyfriend who is seen to be very crazy. Brent has some resemblence to That Damn Neighbor, although this is most likely coincidental. Since his first appearance, Brent has been critically injured or sometimes killed in some of the most unexpected ways possible. He tries to convince Derf that he doesn't need to use a gun to solve situations.
Reception
Upon releasing the trailer, Snowjacked received negitive criticism. Many people said that the series will be as bad or worse than Pubertina, another cartoon series notable for its bad reception. It was disliked for the vomiting, the word "snowjacked" being used 11 times, the animation, and the art style. Like Pubertina, people wanted this show to be replaced either by Oishi High School Battle or Politicats.
However, the first two episodes recieved mostly positive reception. Critics either still hated Snowjacked, mostly because of the poor animation, or have changed and said the the first episode was better than the trailer, proving that some people only hated the trailer. They say that it is still better than Pubertina, but not as good as the other cartoons Do's & Don'ts, Zombies vs. Ninjas, and Krogzilla. The next few episodes had pretty good reception.
Openings
After every saying, Ian says, "SHUT UP!" followed by Derf saying "Cartoons".
