Bottom of the Barrel...........

Warning: Spoilers
This had no business becoming a TV series. It's about two Miley Cyrus twerking wannabe frogs (they're supposed to be ducks, but they look more like frogs to me) going around delivering bread in a rocket van. It started off as a abysmal animated short on YouTube, and Nick saw potential in this, and decided it should be a series. Worst Nick show to date. It's worse than Modern SpongeBob, Sanjay and Craig, it's even worse than Fanboy and Chum Chum. Let's just start off with the obvious. THE ANIMATION AND DESIGN IS THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN IN AN AIRED ON TELEVISION SHOW. The absolute worst. The characters look like simple shapes created in poorly made flash animation with repetitive movement. The show is INCREDIBLY lazy, and just looks like it was thrown together in a day. Don't believe me? The majority of background characters are stock images of ducks. No seriously. Would it really kill ya that much to come up with other designs? But no, you take the easy way out and find stock photos of ducks in Google Images. You can't get away with overusing stock images and soundtrack unless your show has effort and charm like Gumball! Yeah, they don't just use stock photos because they're too lazy to draw their own darn characters, they use stock explosions, video game noises (like the Super Mario Bros jumping noise)and others. This show also makes obnoxious video game references, like the characters "leveling up" into grotesque forms to solve their problems, using signature moves, etc. And the main characters have no personality whatsoever. Take Mordecai and Rigby, suck all likability out of them, put them on Nick and turn them into ducks and this is what you'll get. They're basically the same character. Both are loud and obnoxious bread fetish junkies. GIVE THEM DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES! If you have too characters who act the exact same way, the situations you put them in won't be charming or funny! Make one a foil to the other or something! Take Pinky and the Brain for example. They are one of the best cartoon duos I've ever seen. Pinky is a hyperactive idiot, and Brain is a diabolical evil genius. Because they have two widely different personalities, it makes them interesting to watch and the situations they're in funny. And what the heck is with their names??? Sway Sway and Budeuce. WHAT KIND OF NAMES ARE THOSE??? They sound like slang terms for feces!!! Speaking of that, another thing they overuse is toilet humor. What are the main jokes in this show? Butt jokes. Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life also used toilet humor, but they actually had amazing animation, likable characters, and an extensive variety of humor. When you constantly use the same genre of joke, it gets monotonous and cringe inducing. I really feel bad for the kids growing up these days. In my days, we had wonderful shows like Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Pre-movie SpongeBob, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and so many others. Now, the kids nowadays will have to say they grew up watching garbage like this, Sanjay and Craig, Uncle Grandpa,and Teen Titans Go. Bottom line: This show stinks. Don't watch it. If you're trying to go in the field of animation like me, this show will bring about a negative influence. Like Sanjay and Craig, it tries to be Regular Show and Adventure Time, and FAILS HORRIBLY. Oh and to add insult to injury, this show just happened to first air on my birthday: February 17th. Now I have to forever remember that me and this god awful show have something in common.
