Surrealistic environment of this cartoon offer a completely new perception. The cartoon relies on slapstick humour, much like its 'ancestor', Tom and Jerry, only amplifying the level of extremities up a notch. Oggy and the Cockroaches: Created by Jean-Yves Raimbaud, Marc Du Pontavice. Oggy usually finds creatures accompanying him to the end of the episode, such as crabs, clams, a horse, a very technologically advanced child, a puppy, and an octopus. The trio seems to enjoy making Oggy's life miserable, which involves mischief ranging from (in most cases) plundering his refrigerator to such awkward things like hijacking the train Oggy just boarded. The show centers on Oggy, an anthropomorphic blue cat, who would prefer to spend his days contentedly watching television and eating - if not for the three roaches in the household: Joey, Dee Dee and Marky (named after members of the punk group Ramones). Oggy and the Cockroaches is a French animated comedy series produced by Xilam and Gaumont Film Company.
