Clarence (2013)
Good show!
This review contains a couple spoilers. If you see this symbol: ⚠️ That means that the following few sentences are spoilers. Skip those sentences until you see this symbol:✅ that means the spoiler is over, and you can keep reading.
SUMMARY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This show is good! It's very relatable to real life, which makes it funny. The voice acting is really good, and they put so much detail in the art! But they TOTALLY ripped off TAWOG (The Amazing World of Gumball) when they designed the characters.
TAWOG RIPOFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, let's start off with the three main characters in Clarence: Clarence, Sumo, and Jeff. Clarence and Sumo are wild kids, and aren't very intelligent, while Jeff is very well- behaved, and is very intelligent. Compare them to the main characters in TAWOG: Gumball, Darwin, and Anais. Gumball and Darwin are wild kids, and aren't very intelligent (Clarence and Sumo), while Anais is very intelligent and is very well-behaved (Jeff). Now, let's move to the parents in Clarence: Mary and Chad. Mary is the only one working in the house. Chad is a couch potato and is very irresponsible. Compare them to the parents in TAWOG: Nicole and Richard. Nicole is the only one working in the house (Mary), and Richard is a couch potato and is very irresponsible (Chad). Now, last but not least, the character in Clarence: Joshua. Josh works at basically every place in the town! He works at the grocery store, a restaurant called Chuckleton's, the water park, another restaurant called Rough Rider's chicken, and he also works as a trail guide at a wildlife trail! He also has to put up with Clarence and Sumo. Whenever Josh is near them, something bad always happens to him. Compare him to the character in TAWOG: Larry. Larry works at every place in the town. He also has to put up with Gumball and Darwin. Whenever Gumball and Darwin are around him, something bad always happens to him. See the relationships? See how badly they ripped off TAWOG? :D Oh! One more thing! There's this character in Clarence. His name is Percy. He looks a lot like the character Onion from Steven Universe! If you don't know what Onion or Percy look like, look them up. You'll see the similarities.
CHARACTERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clarence
Clarence is a very nice kid! He has a very vivid imagination, and he enjoys life as a kid. He is also utterly selfless. ⚠️ There's this one episode where Clarence's town was holding a "pig race", where they would let a pig loose, and a bunch of kids would try to catch it. Clarence felt really bad for the pig, so a few hours before the race, he took the pig out of its cage, and he crawled in. He was going to replace the pig. He was going to put himself through all that just so the pig wouldn't have to. That's pretty incredible.✅ He always tries to see the good in a situation. I also like that when something bad happens, he tries to find a solution himself, and he doesn't worry. He's confident. He is independent. He doesn't wait on other people to solve a problem. Even though some of his plans aren't very good, at least he tries! He can learn from his mistakes. ⚠️ There's this one episode when his dad forgot to pick him up from school. Clarence didn't just spend the night at school, he got up, and started walking. He was confident he could find his way home. He even said this from that episode,"When I am in a bad situation, all I do is turn my frown upside down, and find a solution!" What a good message for a cartoon!✅
Sumo
Sumo is a very interesting character. He is a curious kid. Like Clarence, he always seems to get into trouble. I don't have much to say about him, but he's definitely unique.
Jeff
Jeff is definitely my favorite character. He's different than a lot of cartoon characters. I find it quite interesting that he likes Clarence and Sumo, two troublemakers who are immature and gross, basically the complete opposite of him. He is intelligent and mature for his age. He is very organized. I think he might have OCD, actually, because his obsession with that stuff is extreme. He hates getting in trouble. It messes up his "perfect record".
Secret Mountain Fort Awesome (2007)
You've gotta admit, this show has KILLER animation
This show is pretty good! It's entertaining to me, and I don't care what people say! It's a good show! It's different! I can tell the makers spent a lot of time on the animation, I mean, think about it! It IS gross, but there's SO much detail! The other cartoons on Cartoon Network don't put NEARLY as much effort as these guys did with the animation. I also like all of the characters. They are all creatively designed. They're gross, but that doesn't bother me. I like all of the episodes. I watched them over and over on iTunes. It's a shame this show came to an end. I want more! Uncle Grandpa is similar, but I still like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome 1,000 times better! This really should be an Adult Swim cartoon. They made the wrong decision putting it on Cartoon Network. If it was on Adult Swim, it would probably still be airing.
Teen Titans Go! (2013)
Unoriginal, stupid, lowest-quality television
Okay, before I say anything, I didn't even know there was an original Teen Titans until I started reading the reviews for this show, so I'm not writing this review because I am disappointed that this show is far from the original. But, being that there IS an original makes the show even worse (I didn't even know that was possible), because it isn't even ORIGINAL.
This show is SO BAD!!!!!!! It's ridiculous, and all it does is make kids lose brain cells. All the characters talk about are tacos, burgers, sandwiches, pies, tofu, and waffles. In some of the episodes, they sing "songs", and the lyrics are: Waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, I like to eat waffles, because they are good, waffles, waffles, waffles! That's basically all they sing, for 2 MINUTES! And don't even get me started on the animation and the colors. It looks like the cartoonist that did Problem Solverz drew and colored it when he was high. I'm serious. It's the worst I've ever seen. It makes my eyes want to be put in a bowl of bleach.
One day, I was waiting for a new episode of Regular Show to come on, and a new episode of Teen Titans Go came on before it. I decided to give it a shot, because my friend had said that it was awesome (she has no taste in TV shows apparently). The episode I watched was about one of the members of the Teen Titans, Cyborg, being possessed by a "grandma" voice. While the Titans were fighting a monster, Cyborg started talking in a grandma voice just to be funny. The Titans really liked his grandma voice, so they were wanting him to do it all the time. Once he had been talking in it for a while, the voice "took over" him. And by that I mean it possessed him, and made him act like a grandma and talk like one all the time. How stupid does that sound? Believe me, if you actually watch the episode, which I wouldn't recommend unless you want to waste 11 minutes of your life, you'll get a really good idea on how stupid it is.
Regular Show: The Movie (2015)
Great movie
I loved this movie. Regular Show is just getting better and better. I was scared for the show a couple of months ago when they were putting out episodes that I hated. I thought the show was running out of material and was going to get canceled, but then they came out with a weeks worth of episodes that I absolutely loved. Then, the movie came out, and my fear of the show getting canceled got completely terminated. This movie was the best. I am no longer afraid for the show's future anymore. They couldn't make it any better, and it DEFINITELY exceeded my expectations. OMG, this is going to be something that I will watch again and again. I am very impressed that they actually pulled off an hour and a half long movie when the longest episode they have ever done was only thirty minutes. I had NO IDEA it would be this good. It was funny, intense, and sad all at the same time. I never knew Regular Show would actually make me cry, yes, I cried twice during the last half of it. I also think that they did a great job with the tone. I thought that this movie's tone was going to be just like a regular episode, except longer, but they actually made it look like a film. Very, very impressive. I never knew the creators had it in them. According to me, Regular Show has made its way back up to being one of the best cartoons out there. I am looking forward to next week's set of new episodes. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!
We Bare Bears (2014)
Unbelievably incredible
Okay. This show is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I've never seen anything like it. The characters are unique, not too immature, and work together. They have aired close to 20 episodes, and I've only seen them use crude humor once. The Bears obviously love each other very much, and would do anything to help one another. That is a fantastic element to a kids cartoon.
⚠️THE FOLLOWING IS A SPOILER!⚠️ In one of the episodes, the Bears go to a movie. They are interrupted by rude people talking and eating loudly. Later on in that same episode, the Bears are walking down the street. They walk by a guy disrespecting his mom, and people yelling at each other. I think the main point of this episode is to question viewers if they are like these people, so if they are, they will change. I also think that they are trying to give them a better view of the world and how rude and disrespectful it has become. Another fantastic message. I'm not calling everybody idiots or anything like that, but let's face it, this time period isn't like The Andy Griffin Show.
⚠️THIS IS A CHARACTER SPOILER!⚠️ The Bears also have a friend named Chloe, who is a child prodigy, and not an immature, crude, prank-pulling, snot-tasting idiot like Nickelodeon's shows have as characters. (That didn't concern SpongeBob. It's the only good show on Nickelodeon right now.) She is very fun and friendly. I love her personality. Now, shifting to Ice Bear. Very unique. Never seen anything like it. He's my favorite character. I love how his voice just stays monotone. Very creative.
⚠️PLOT SPOILER!⚠️ I also loved the first episode. I thought the part when they were putting their stuff in their backpack was genius. They each put one of their favorite items in their, which told about their personality. Panda put his phone in, which shows he obviously loves browsing, and Ice Bear put in ninja stars, which shows he is extreme and loves to practice fighting. Genius.
This show is....incredible. Cartoon Network has struck gold. I hope this show will end up getting really famous. The creators are geniuses. I hope you've learned something from this review.
Regular Show (2010)
This show is awesome again!
"This show used to be awesome." That's what I said in my old review. But that's not true anymore! This show is awesome again! They WERE following the same formula over and over (they get put on a mission, and they have to go through tasks and stages to get what they are seeking), but they don't follow it anymore! So, as a result, the episodes are more entertaining. 😏
Okay, so now the characters. I like how they animate Benson now. When he yells at Mordecai and Rigby, the artists try to make it as dramatic as possible, and I love it!!!! I also like that they drifted away from all that romance junk. I hated CJ. I'm so glad they aren't showing her anymore. I'm also liking the fact they are doing more episodes with Pops and Benson (my favorite characters) instead of just Muscle Man and High-Fives, and/or just Mordecai and Rigby.
The only thing that I don't like is that they are trying to make it more serious, and intense. Kind of like Steven Universe. The problem is that this show has been on for 6 years (the show's 6-year anniversary was a few weeks ago, so, happy late anniversary, Regular Show!), and for all that time, the show has been giving off a really comedic, goofy vibe, so it's basically impossible to change to a serious vibe at this point. It just doesn't feel right.
I don't even know why I am editing this review right now, and adding new tips. It doesn't even matter, because it has already been confirmed cancellation, sadly. RIP, Regular Show, you were a good friend to me for the four years that I watched you.
