Nick Has Gone Off The Deep End And Into The Event Horizon.
26 April 2014
The first time I saw this show, I knew that nick has lost it's marbles. The premise is ludicrous. You can tell that nickelodeon has gone nuts by green lighting a show takes the idea that ducks like bread and run off with it for TWENTY-FOUR episodes. The character names are absurd.

The humor in this show is half witted, often weak, and abuses butt humor.(e.g Twerking). It's a show about badly animated ducks cracking weak jokes, singing badly and all the while twerking frequently and delivering bread to stock images of ducks. The music is 80's arcade music on speed, and it's character design is laughable. (see below)

The animation? SwaySway's head is too big for his body to support, and his face is gargantuan and jarring. (in the pilot, of course.) The 2 main characters look like Flappy Bird recolors/rejects instead of ducks. At least with the creators of Allen Gregory they regretted making the show and canceled it. Here, nick believed it would be their redemption.

This show is mediocre and lazy, using stock images of ducks for every single other duck character, even the bread. It's lazy at best, and jarring at worst. (in this case, it's in between lazy and jarring.)

It's copying what 3 other series (Uncle Grandpa, Amazing world of Gumball, and even dick figures) did before it. It tries to be random and funny, and fails miserably. Randomness and Toilet humor aren't inherently funny. You have to make it funny. Same thing goes for pop culture references.

This show tries to be Fanboy and Chum Chum, Season 6-9 Spongebob, and Sanjay and Craig at the same time by believing that randomness and butt jokes. Never once do they get a laugh out of anyone above the age of 10.

(The fans are naive and immature, yes, but you can already figure that out by watching the show for longer than 10 seconds. Nick doesn't care, as long as it's making $$$ and is PG. The parents don't care, as long as it's PG. The plots? i've seen better plots from any modern YTP on the web.

Making Fiends and Invader Zim were good shows, and they didn't live to reach their apex. This show, on the other hand, lives to see a second season. This says a lot about nickelodeon's current standards. Sad much?

As for those who don't understand as to why we don't think it's awesome or want it canceled, it provides nothing of substance, doesn't follow a coherent plot, and it's humor is mostly toilet humor with Twerking thrown in.

Bottom Line, giving this show even a 1 would be too generous, and the arguments made in this shows defense are futile. Maybe the fans will develop a better sense of humor, and maybe this show will be cancelled, or hopefully forgotten, even.
