The Nutshack is an American adult animated TV series created by Ramon Lopez, and co-created by Jesse Hernandez. The series ran on Myx TV for two seasons, the first in 2007^[3] and the second in 2011.^[4]

Plot

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

• 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 such as 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. He's incredibly intelligent, but often acts cowardly.
• Tito Dick "Dickman" (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is Phil and Jack's strabic uncle. As evidenced by the pilot, his real name is Richard Cabeza.
• Horat, also known as Horatio or Horatio 1.0 (voiced by series co-creator Jesse Hernandez), is Jack's robotic pet tarsier with a voice similar to that of a chipmunk, and serves as the comic relief character of the series.

Recurring

• Chita (voiced by Rhia Abarquez) is Phil and Jack's female friend who runs the local bar. She is also Jack's love interest.
• Dwayne Futon (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is Tito Dick's goofy landlord who desperately attempts to connect with his tenants and as a result 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) is an Indian man who runs a liquor store and serves as a top distributor of pornography in Daly City.
• Ed and Angel (both voiced by Jesse Hernandez) own a custom car shop and are both stoners. Ed is highly forgetful and often cannot recall where he is, what time of day, or people's names. Angel is Latino and Ed loves Drugs.
• Willie (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is a gibbering homeless man known for his unintelligible speech.
• Manu (voiced by Jamar Logan) is a Hawaiian man who is a gentle person despite his bulky appearance. He is very nice to Jack and Phil and is one of their good friends.
• Rainbow Scout (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is a gay male character developed around common gay stereotypes.
• Jerome and Jamar (voiced by Jerome Castro and Jamar Logan) are Phil and Jack's rivals.
