A rude, crude, and scruffy curmudgeon named Dan tries to get revenge on anyone and anything that angers him.

A rude, crude, and scruffy curmudgeon named Dan tries to get revenge on anyone and anything that angers him. His misadventures are coupled with his best friend and summer camp buddy, Chris, and occasionally the skills of Chris's secret operative wife, Elise. Dan's misadventures unfortunately places him in odd circumstances, from a jogging werewolf to the depths of the Pasadena Parallelogram, Dan's many adventures pertains towards many slap-stick and original laughs -- much towards the dismay that plagues Dan. Accompanied by his lovable pet cat, Mr. Mumbles, much of Dan's angers can't but subside, ceasing by the lovable cuteness of his prized cat. Catburglars, Baseball, Dancing, High School, Canada, Ninjas, Dentists, Dinosaurs, George Washington -- are no match for this angry hermit. Look out world, here comes the hair-trigger ruffian, Dan.

When the protagonist of a show is a general malcontent dressed in a black T-shirt inscribed with the word JERK, you know you're in for something different. This animated series follows the never-ending outbursts of Dan, a short (and short-tempered) man who has nothing better to do with his time than rail against what he perceives to be life's injustices -- even if he's completely in the wrong. Whether he has a beef against a fast-food chain, an untalented barber, the game of baseball or lemonade-selling children, petulant Dan is always spurred into action, usually dragging best friend Chris and his wife, Elise, along on the revenge-filled ride.

Dan thinks the whole world is against him. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't -- not even his laid-back friend Chris is totally sure. Maybe Dan's just imagining it all. But, like Chris, you can't help going along for the ride when Dan dreams up his wild plots to get even with whoever or whatever he thinks is out to get him.
