What the **** did I just watch?

Seriously, Disney? Why? You are capable of so much more than this. So this is a buddy comedy show, and a really ridiculous one at that. I wanna say I really like the buddy comedy genre. In fact a lot easier to list the good examples than the bad ones. Unfortunately, it's not always executed well. For every Toy Story and Abbott and Costello, there's at least one BioDome. But back on track. I imagine this tried to replicate Regular Show, but ended up with Breadwinners. It's about two sentient food items who like dubstep. That is about it. It's laden with inappropriate jokes, lackluster animation and stock images. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? This has a couple of extra problems, though. For some reason, this show attempts to force in serious or dramatic moments. It's not that comedies shouldn't have some dramatic parts, but there needs to have a point, which I feel is lacking in this. Also, what is with the live action bits? Again, is there any point in sacrificing substance for style? Aside from the Breadwinners elements, like dubstep and butt jokes, at least its relatively creative. I can't say I've seen a pilot episode where a sentient wart turns into a kaiju monster before. I guess it's worth watching just to see what kind of weirdness is in the show, but without its creative weirdness, it would probably be just dull and inappropriate; not much else to it.
