Note: I'm using other TV show referances to back up my statements. So if you don't understand some of the referances, I apologize in advance. I will specify if any of the shows occur outside of Teletoon or if they can be viewed on the web... (in the case of an online series mentioned...)
To start off, yes, I have seen several episodes of this show and am not just saying it sucks because I can. I'm sorry but all this show has going for this are amusing charateristics. "Cat, Dog, Winslow and The Greaser Dogs had my friends imitating them and lets just say that it was just about one of the most amusing things I've ever witnessed.
This story follows a plot, I guess... Troublemaking... as mentioned here and basically Cat has to try and work with a sadistic, most irritating, arrogant teenager Dog and the uncomprehensive Rabbit... it seems kind of redundant and the jokes are dull... they sometimes referance things outside of the show but even though I don't get all the jokes, the ones that I do get aren't very funny.
It's not that I dislike old shows. I watch Nicktoons and appreciate Rocko'sModern Life (which is sometimes vulgar), Invader Zim (suggestive), Catscratch (Happy Meals? please!) and I used to watch and muse to Pelswick. It just doesn't get much more brutal than lesbians, a head on a skateboard and a guy in a wheelchair trying to get laid daily.
It's not the style it was animated in as I am a huge Flash style enthusiast... Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and Skunk Fu! were both Flash animated. Granted, this was lazily done... few if ANY mouth phonies, walk (or lack thereof) cycle... or lets just say movement cycle... is poor... nothing is fluid... and the story (again, lack thereof) is poor. Now incase you think that I'm not a lack of plot type person, I've seen Mucha Lucha, Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, Beavis & Butt-Head, & My Gym Parter's a Monkey (hate to state the obvious folks but this show is actually pretty plotless)... and actually, online, if you want just plain randomness, amuse yourself with JojoVill.
Characters have trouble following along with their character motif and often times, I will see Cat being afried of the lake & Dog will say that it's frozen & Rancid Rabbit tauts Cat buy selling Ice States.
Now you're probably saying that I just dislike when characters try to go out of character. Not necessarily... I used to watch an animated series of Mr. Bean and CatDog often went out of character... same with Squirrelboy... it's just... in this series, they do a poor job of it. No one can ever hold up their end of the scale.
The aliens are just irritating... the way they talk, they way they act... if they were real and I knew about it, they wouldn't still be alive. Eddie is a 2-D museless character with nothing but a voice going for him... Rancid also has next to no character developement as the series goes on... nor does Cliff, Lube, or Sheik. Not once does Cat question his habits, & when they challage them to Hockey
And like Homestar Runner, things are back to normal the next episode... only difference is... Homestar Runner is actually a fun show to watch... and even though it's mild, there is character developement for Strongbad.. only reason Marizpan doesn't develope is because it's hard to develope a character with a female "voice" or spelt out thought who is hardly even around the main character... (just because the show is called Homestar Runner.com doesn't mean Homestar is the main character... he's merely the TARGET for Strongbad, the guy w/ his own show.)
This show also likes to stay in... what I like to call... Sandbox Mode... refering back to Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy... everything takes place in one place, the characters HARDLY if ever move outside the house... and when they do, it's usually remotely near. Mostly the show consists of characters talking to each other about things that we're supposed to understand... chalking things up to sarcasm... and all Rancid Rabbit is trying to do is get them to stop fricken fighting, get them off their asses and just... get them out of the fricken house. When that happens, which is kind of rare... they end up in the Poundip... and did I mention that Rancid rabbit is irritating?
This show likes to premote morals that are just retarded and treats things like gangs to be something to be taken lightly... if that's a friendship based moral, you're going about it all wrong. I believe that once or twice, I have also witnessed drug use. Whoever does drugs is simply a retard I don't need anything to back THAT one up.
To sum up; the show sucks... no one in their right mind should watch it... and if you watch and enjoy this show for legit reasons... blow me down and let me know... now these have to be LEGIT reasons, ok? Because I'm irritated with people just saying "eetz a gud show", "u hav poplualrty complex lollolololol!~~one" and the most famous "u a nub cuz u dont liek wat i liek lawl".
Now, I know my review has been brutal... but it's well suited to a brutal series, don't you think? And I'd actually like to have people message me and tell me what I've been wrong about. Amuse me, people and so long!
