Sanjay and Craig (2013)
gross humor....
The same thing goes for my breadwinners review, nick has lost their creativity let me rephrase that because this cartoon takes on a different style of humor but more about that later. so basically this cartoon is about a boy and his talking snake doing crazy things but by crazy they mean disgusting. i don't know if the creators noticed but just adding stuff like that doesn't make a cartoon funny automatically. yeah a cartoon like total drama island may have a disgusting scene every couple other episodes but at least it was played up the right way then comes the disgusting scene to make it funny. in sanjay and Craig its just their, like when sanjay had to play a game on a family game show sanjay, he climb into a nose full of boogers and snot to get a flag. another thing is this cartoon tries to hard to have a moment. like in the episode fart baby at the end the fart bubble flies around showing life in 15 seconds and comes back and craig says "no matter how much you try there's no holding back a fart". now if everything is this cartoon was executed properly like character designs, distinct personality's, get rid of their over excitement fever, and finally their repetitive voices and gross jokes.
when you have kid characters they should act like kids or at least make them interesting here sanjay and craig act the same. this could have been done properly if they had taken notes from an old nicktoon like rugrats. i also think some jokes are a bit forced if you can call them jokes. in the episode where they have a giant gorilla balloon they chase it down and find out there is a knife parade going on. another thing is that the when sanjay and craig actually don't do anything exciting is when they actually have the potential to make something good.
Breadwinners (2014)
Nick doesn't know anything anymore
Nick where has your creativity gone. i remember when nick made cartoons that wasn't terrible, cartoons such as hey Arnold ,catdog , Doug, rugrats, and many other cartoons (not gonna say spongebob because everybody knows that spongebob is good). well anyways i believe nick cant produce any good cartoon content anymore because of their new idiotic decision breadwinners but you just can't determine the outcome of anything by one mistake so lets see all the wrong things with breadwinners.
first off this may be a cartoon but that doesn't excuse the terrible character design. they're supposedly ducks but they don't look like ducks, they look more like frogs with cheese around their mouth and the cartoon just makes it more easier for you to distinguish the difference between them and real ducks by just making other ducks stock images. just using stock images in this cartoon shows how terrible it can already turn out to be. i don't know how the idea of using stock images 65% of the time got past nick. the backgrounds look like they're out of a crappy 90's game i mean if you pay really close attention to the backgrounds they look like they belong in a Lucas art game(i'm not saying those games are crappy).
Now for the character personality...they're just plain idiots. buhduece and swaysway act to much alike they're also loud and obnoxious. the only emotion they have is over excitement which blocks out room for other emotion you know like cartoon characters should have. i also hate the humor its not even trying to be funny. they always have booty jokes and they are highly over used if look in every scene in any breadwinners episode you'll find that they always have their buts exaggerated.
the cartoon also fails to put an interesting plot. like in the episode "frog day afternoon" the plot is "SwaySway and Buhdeuce teach their pet frog Jelly how to fetch. Jelly accidentally fetches a monster egg that hatches. The Breadwinners take care of the baby monster until its large, angry mother comes looking for it"as quoted by Wikipedia. do you see the flaw? because i do they keep the baby instead of going to look for the baby's mother not only that but this is where it got weird the baby had 3 buttcheeks this was one of the things in the episode that was supposed to make me laugh but just made me sigh.
i guess i can say goodbye to nick once spongebob is cancelled because all i can see is terrible creativity. if i could i would give this a -1 but i'll just have too settle for 1.
