'BFFs (2022)' is probably the least successful short in its series. It focuses on a girl who drinks compound V and discovers that her newfound talent is, well, a load of poop. The piece primarily runs on gross-out humour (which isn't inherently bad) and visual gags that stem from its exaggerated, faux-anime style. The problem is that neither of these aspects are particularly enjoyable. The whole thing just feels a underwhelming and, dare I say, a bit cheap. I can see what it's trying to do, but it just doesn't do it all that well. Still, it isn't particularly bad. Its pacing ensures that there isn't much time for boredom. Plus, it has a couple of more successful moments sprinkled throughout. 5/10.

Ok almost nothing on earth is a 1 or 2 out of 10, something almost no imdb user understands. But this wasn't a good episode, and I can only name the few things I liked and you can assume i hated everything else:
The start was kinda interesting and funny
There were other funny scenes
Yeah that's it that's all. I never said it was good. Just don't rate things ridiculously low. Anyway other than this it's a good show.
Watched this while pooping...

Pooping was better than this episode.
Joke aside, this was truly a crap episode what the hell? I try not to give 1/10s, because at least the animation is fine I suppose, and it's not unwatchable, but the plot is just so stupid and bad. I mean I think any plot could be potentially well executed, but this was simply cliched and dumb. There was 0 originality except the living poop, which I assume the humor of this short would be derived from the absurdity of it all, but it did not work at all. Especially since the humor itself was not creative and dull. Story wise I'm confused why the deep is portrayed like such a bad guy? He was certainly not a good guy, but I never to the point of being a villain, like he threatens a child, literally kills someone. Wasn't the point of this that it's in the universe of the show? So the story is this girl has cliched bullies as friends who are using her to get drugs, haha so funny. She coincidentally runs off with compound-V, drinks it because she so sad, and living poop comes out. By the way, why doesn't the poop make a mess? The Deep finds her somehow, takes the poop, and then she's asked by Vought to never speak of this again, so she leaves, but is sad she has no friends so she must save her poop! This literal child just sneaks into Vought, hits someone over the head with an iPad, gets her poop and flushes it, then somehow goes down a sewer, finds her poop and fights The Deep with her poop controlling powers, and goes live happily ever after with sentient living shi-
Didn't even deserve a number 2... 1/10.

Please if possible skip this episode. The whole series suffers from this episode as stated in other reviews. Jokes are crude and simply not funny, poop jokes? Seriously? I can't imagine what went on the producers meetings to come up with this as a candidate for the series with so many others talented writers.
Cr*p episode
mhorg20184 March 2022
Terrible episode. Awkwafina, who has an annoying I smoked too much voice was perfect for this stupid episode about a woman whose super power is to control poop. The most juvenile and unfunny episode of the lot. Just bad all around.
Actually unwatchable
dprater2007 March 2022
For a series that's hit or miss I could at least get through the others. But this? Just terrible. Writing, dialogue, plot, art, acting, everything. Looking at the director and writers I can see how it fell so hard.
Nothing about this one fits the other episodes and it seemed like it was targeted at little children or VERY very immature adults.
Either part seems insanely bizarre considering the source material.
Wholly recommend skipping this episode less you're busy doing chores and its on auto play.

Not THAT bad
mightyjor9 June 2022
Ok this isn't a masterpiece or anything, but come on, it's not unwatchable. It's almost like Awkwafina just gave the middle finger to Amazon and was allowed to write whatever the heck she wanted, which is kind of funny. The poop stuff was kind of gross and not very funny, but honestly the ending gave me a chuckle when she discovers what her powers are as she's fighting the Deep and it's this epic anime showdown almost like they're playing it straight, which I just found really funny.
Don't listen to the haters.

This is the funniest out of all the episodes. Poo is funny, get over yourself Haters! We love you Awkwafina - keep doing what you do. Who needs gratuitous violence when you can have a good poo joke? Short and sweet and a good giggle in between the mega violence. The anime references are perfection, as well.
Only a 6 cuz Awkwafina
squallsrapture4 March 2022
This episode could have been so much better. But the western anime Mr Hankey the Christmas poo storyline just did not hit right. Maybe in the 90s this would have hit harder.
But I love awkwafina, but yikes. The Kyle running gag was pretty funny.

Terrible
lukeryan-303504 March 2022
This was genuinely the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life. The first four episodes ranged from decent to good but this was the worst episode of any show I have ever seen and I hated every second of it. It was painfully disgusting and forced. The animation style made it even worse. Words can't fathom how much I hated this monstrosity. The voice acting sucked, the plot was gross and terrible, and I immediately came here to write a review about how bad it was. Please, skip over this episode.
Skip this episode

Slows the momentum of the show to a screeching halt
Mystline234 March 2022
The first few episodes have been fairly decent but this one is just awful. I genuinely have no idea how the concept for this episode was even greenlit or even who the target audience even is. The lame toilet humor is literally too stupid for even the youngest folks and the typical Boys-brand edginess with drugs and violence doesn't even save it.
Nowhere near the standard for the other episodes and literally brings the overall value of Diabolical down simply by existing.

A Turd Friend
ZegMaarJus1 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Sky, she has a conversation with her friends. Sky got into a car crash in the car of the drug dealer. Sky smokes weed at her friends place. Sky drinks the blue bottle with V in it. Sky got a new friend named Areola, it is a talking turd. Sky gets arrested by Vought. Sky saved Areola. Sky found Areola in the sewer. Sky her turd friends helped to defeat The Deep. Solid Episode of The Boys Presents: Diabolical Season 1, this was a funny Episode but not with a lot of action and blood. It was funny but the quality just wasn't there, i give this Episode a 7! Interesting to see the next Episodes!
Awful and not even that unique

It's pretty good

This episode alone ruined the "Diabolical" experience
diegomercadoarellano11 March 2022
Lame, gross and unnecesary.
Generic, boring, not even a good anime style, a constant non sense of lame sexual jokes and that pathetic weeabo cliché of poop with faces.
This is the kind of thing that only a female, inmature, otaku can consider funny or good.

What did i just watch? Please for the sake of your own sanity skip this one goddammit so terrible and disgusting. Also suffers from bad voice acting, dumb plot, lazy and unbelievably bad dialogs and etc. Need some time just to forget this abomination.
Wtf am i watching

Leave the poop jokes to South Park.

The worst possible thing I have watched
adityasarker22 March 2022
I really liked the previous episodes with different genres of animation. It is not that important to be linked with the main show heavily or a serious story for this type of shorts. But this episode offers nothing. It was hard to go through the episode with idiotic theme and cringe dialogues.
