Another LarryBoy Review?


Well, today Netflix has released new episodes of Veggietales In The House (11 episodes, to be exact). Plus, it's been confirmed that we are, in fact, in the second season of the series.
So I was looking through the episodes to see about LarryBoy, and sure enough, he's back, as anticipated. However, I have a bit of bad news: the show still has Junior Asparagus's so-called superhero persona Junior Jetpack.

And I'm sad to report that both LarryBoy and Junior star in another episode of Veggietales In The House.
So, I will review this episode in question... pretty soon, because if you read my blog posts, then you would know my views on that annoying Junior Asparagus trying to be superhero material...
-Just refer to The League of Incredible Vegetables and the Veggietales In The House episode "Junior Jetpack," and you'll know.

Editorial: Better "Veggietales In The House" Episodes On The Horizon?

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Ever since I found out that new episodes are supposed to come out, I've been wondering: Are there better episodes on the way for Veggietales In The House?

So far, I've been only invested in the LarryBoy episodes, and the other episodes... not so much... well, with the exception of the premiere episode of the Netflix series (pause)... Okay, also "Bacon and Ice Cream." Other than that, I'm only interested in the LarryBoy episodes.
However, we're supposed to get "another batch" of episode on September 25, 2015 (according to Wikipedia). Now here are my concerns:
1. Will we get good story?
2. Will another LarryBoy episode be in the mix?
3. Will the next batch of new episodes complete Season 1? Or will this be the start of Season 2? (According to Wikipedia, Netflix ordered three seasons for the series.)
So many unanswered questions hit the surface, and we only got at least two more weeks of speculation.

So, are better Veggietales In The House episodes on the horizon? We'll only time and chance will tell. I can't predict the future... however, I would like to propose some predictions for a LarryBoy episode (if there is another one):

1. Petunia Rhubarb would make a great kidnapping victim for Motato. That way, we have that chemistry between her and LarryBoy. (I've always wanted to see those two hook up.)

2. Junior Asparagus can be left out this time. (Well, humor Junior for two minutes, and then he needs to get the f*** out of that episode.)

3. We can see Motato acting like a good villain, like in the "Junior Jetpack" episode. If we see that potential in him again, then the episode wouldn't be a lost cause. (Refer to the "Jenna Chive Live" episode for an example of a lost cause.)
4. MOST IMPORTANT: LarryBoy would save the day. No one but him. We need to have LarryBoy in the superhero spotlight, so that he won't be as underrated as he is right now.

Veggietales In The House: Season 1, Ep. 13- "Junior Jetpack" (LarryBoy Episode)

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Finally, I have the nerve to review another LarryBoy episode from Veggietales In The House.

This one was,,, pretty awkward to watch. Should I be offended, because LarryBoy wasn't technically the hero again? Should I be amazed that more thought was put into the villain? How should I feel about this one? Well, let's find out.

Opening:

The episode opens with Ichabeezer finding that his dog Rooney is missing.
-It's not surprising to see a LarryBoy episode open with a scene with Ichabeezer.

Anyway, LarryBoy is called in on the case.
Ichabeezer: "He's been gone since last night!"
-Dude. You've only found out he was missing just now.
Well, LarryBoy agrees to help him, but-

Junior: "Allow me, Junior Jetpack, to help!"
-Oh no! It's The League of Incredible Vegetables all over again! 

Quick! 

Burn all the Ricochet action figures!
-Plus, who gives a shit, kid? Go home.
-We're only a minute into this episode, and already we're seeing a repeat of what made The League of Incredible Vegetables suck!

LarryBoy: "Junior, please stop following me. You're not a real crimefighter."
-See? Even LarryBoy himself isn't wanting to put up with being second-fiddle to Junior Asparagus again. Even he knows that Junior isn't superhero material! That's right, LarryBoy, you tell him!!!
LarryBoy shows that he's not interested. Ichabeezer begs him to take Junior along, of which LarryBoy reluctantly complies.

-By the way, Junior being inside the trash bin is symbolic to me, 'cuz that's what The League of Incredible Vegetables should've done to the idea of Junior being the main hero! It's complete trash!!!

Later...:
Down the road, LarryBoy and Junior Jetpack...
-Ugh. the name "Junior Jetpack" means nothing to me. So LarryBoy and Junior...
...see Motato's minions with Rooney. This, of course, leads to a brief car chase scene...

-Uh. Feel free to ditch Junior anytime, LarryBoy.
...where Junior uses his jetpack to save Rooney.
-The sad thing about this is that it actually works. : (

Back at Ichabeezer's:

So they return Rooney to Ichabeezer, where Junior explains the whole ordeal with exaggerations. (Blow me.)
Ichabeezer: "Wow, sounds like you make quite a team!"
-Screw you, Ichabeezer! The League of Incredible Vegetables was already bad enough!
LarryBoy: "That's a stretch. His jetpack busted, and I had to save him."
-Thank you. Honesty- good call.
-You might be thinking that I'm encouraging LarryBoy to put people down... but what the hell is he putting down? This is set up as another repeat of The League of Incredible Vegetables, where LarryBoy is downgraded, while Junior is made the main hero. That's not fair. What's going here is.
So we get back to the plot by them questioning why Motato would target his dog, and LarryBoy gets back on the case, leaving Junior to question what's going on.

Ichabeezer: "Like the Good Book says, 'Don't let anybody think less of you, because you are young.'"
-Really? Blame LarryBoy for being a douche? Well, where's the chapter that says 

not to yell at people? Where's the chapter that says 

to thank people for helping you, even if it wasn't necessary? Where's the chapter that says 

not to bitch at people to "get off [your] lawn"?!
-And yes, LarryBoy was right. This is him trying to make things right, when it comes to listening to his fanbase, but the dickhead writers won't let him. There's no need for a repeat of The League of Incredible Vegetables!
Junior: "I just wished it actually worked."
-Well, good luck trying to fix The League of Incredible Vegetables, 'cuz there's no way in hell you can go back to 2012 and do it over.
Junior decides to give up...
-Well, good. Maybe the plot would do better without him.

At home:

Meanwhile, at home, Larry gripes about Junior following him whenever he's LarryBoy. But then Bob shows him a little morale... through song.

Bob (singing): "God is our full potential."
-Uh, "is" or "gives" our full potential?
-Plus, I know this is supposed to be the moral of the story, but this song is too vague and too short to be memorable.

Larry: "I almost got this!" (while juggling)
-Even Larry seems uninterested. That's how vague this story is!

Ichabeezer's:

Meanwhile, Rooney... who's now a robo-dog(?)... steals Ichabeezer's stuff and monster truck; and LarryBoy is called in to save the day.

LarryBoy: "A slobbery robbery? I'm on it!"
-Clever pun.

So LarryBoy tracks down the monster truck, rescues Rooney, and... leaves the truck there, while Motato's minions take it...?

-Uh, how about returning the stuff to Ichabeezer after securing the dog? (sarcasm) Good work, writers...

LarryCave:

LarryBoy reports to Ichabeezer that he has his dog, but Rooney attacks LarryBoy.

Junior: "I think Motato did something to Rooney."
-That's a good observation, but what about LarryBoy?
Ichabeezer: "Perhaps we should conduct our own investigation
-That's a good plan, but what about LarryBoy? (By the way, LarryBoy is tied up.)

So it's revealed that Motato was, in fact, behind the mischief with the dog all along, and he plans to destroy LarryBoy's hideout; and the real Rooney was captured all this time.

-Okay, obviously someone's been stealing Dr. Blowhole's technology again...

Luckily, Bob is there to untie LarryBoy, and they both capture the robo-dog. 

However, they learn that they've been locked inside the LarryCave, without any chance of escape.
-Bummer.
LarryBoy: "Why didn't I listen to Junior?"
-Because this episode's script was written by monkeys... dimwits... jerk-offs!!!

Motato's lair:

Meanwhile, Junior and Ichabeezer somehow sneak into the villain's lair by sneaking aboard the stolen mosnter truck. Motato tells his minions to find LarryBoy's lair, destroy it, and capture the hero.

-By the way, Motato is surprisingly good in this episode. I mean, he actually had a good plan this time. That's a plan worthy of Dr. Blowhole standards! Now if the whole episode was that serious about itself, then there would be no point of reviewing this. Yeah, instead of obnoxious acting, a bullshit backstory (him and birthdays), and shit songs (about stealing birthdays), we see a villain that's trying to be appealing to us. At least, he's trying in this episode.
Anyway, Ichabeezer and Junior try to come up with a plan. 

And of course, Ichabeezer... for some reason... has a jetpack costume for Junior to wear to be superhero material...
-That was way too convenient for the plot.
Ichabeezer: "You got heart, kid. You're smart. You're brave. Junior Jetpack is ready for prime time!"
-Audience, what you just witnessed is the LarryBoy franchise getting butt-fucked BIG TIME. It's like the show is trying its best to piss off the most-devout of LarryBoy fans. It's just not right! Right now, I'm insulted!!!

Then we see Motato get a doozy from Junior Jetpack...
-Screw Junior's superhero name.

LarryBoy: "This town has two heroes as of now!"
-How much you want to bet that someone, like one of the producers, was holding a gun to LarryBoy's head to make him say that line? That's how bad this all is.
Ichabeezer: "Two heroes, and one old man!"

-By the way, the physical fights between Motato and Junior, 

and Motato and Ichabeezer,.. FINALLY you're acting like a true villain, Motato!
Eventually, Junior frees Rooney from a steel cage; Motato gets his ass bitten by Rooney (LOL); and Junior traps Motato in the steel cage.
While minions try to break into the LarryCave... by making their car a battering ram...
-I don't know.
...Junior finds the remote control to the robo-dog, and they unlock the LarryCave. And then the robo-dog attacks the minions near their car.

LarryBoy: "Junior Jetpack saved the day!"
-Again, someone probably has a gun pointed at him to get him to say that line...

So Motato is finally... I mean, FINALLY,,, arrested...

-He wasn't arrested in his first two appearances...
...and the episode ends with this...

LarryBoy: "You can fight by my side at any day, Junior Jetpack!"
-Let's hope not.

And that was the episode "Junior Jetpack" from Veggietales In The House. So, that was... I don't know what to think.
It wasn't all that great, because Junior was the hero again in yet another LarryBoy story... as if The League of Incredible Vegetables wasn't enough for him to steal the friggin' spotlight from LarryBoy. Even the story itself couldn't accommodate for the fact that it already has LarryBoy as the main hero. It's like: Hey! You already have a superhero! Use him already! And I thought this was an insult to LarryBoy fans, next to League of Incredible Vegetables.
But aside from that, if there was anything in value that came out of this was... at least Motato was trying in this episode. I mean, this was like the hardest that Motato has tried to be a decent villain. He was physical; he was more ambitious than last time; and he had a decent villain plan.
Well, for what it is, this episode felt like a repeat of what made League of Incredible Vegetables suck; and I can assure you- LarryBoy doesn't deserve this. He deserves better credit and better story.

More Episodes from "Veggietales In The House"?

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Ever wondered when Netflix will give us more episodes of Veggietales In The House? Welł, look no further, because according to Wikipedia (at least, that's what they think they're saying), the Netflix show is scheduled to release new episodes come September 25, 2015.

Now here are my predictions for the new episodes:
1. More hit-or-miss episodes
2. More hit-or-miss songs
3. A LarryBoy episode in the mix (I will unsubscribe if THAT'S not there)
4. Something we never knew about one of the characters

Anyway, Wikipedia goes on to say that three seasons "have been ordered"...
-So obviously somewhere in the thought process, they knew that the show was going to bomb in some ways... It's like they said: Well, now that we've changed the look of the characters, gave LarryBoy an updated costume design, and replaced Mr. Nezzer with a discounted version of himself... I'd say this Netflix show will only make it to only its third season. Yeah, seeing that a lot of Veggietales fans are probably pissed off with the changes... (pause)... I'd give it three.

So am I excited for this news? Yes and no. 
So far, the Netflix show has done little to nothing to redeem the character of LarryBoy; we have awkward characters and awkward situations; and most of the stories aren't that interesting to watch. We're lucky of we get decent LarryBoy episodes, but that's still not enough to make up for some of the horrendousness that the show is capable of.
However, I would give this show credit for trying to regain its audience, but it just needs to try harder. Here's my proposal for the show: listen to your fan base more; and DO NOT do everything in your power to piss them off.

"Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4" Youtube Video Review

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Welcome back to another review!

It all started with a viral video. And then that viral video spawned a sequel, and then another sequel, and then fast-forward to the last day of March 2015 (the day before April Fools' Day), where the franchise surprises us with a sudden entry to the canon. How well did this go? Well, since I was a subscriber to their Youtube channel, I was one of the front-runners to do a react video on it.
So let's not waste any more time. This is Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4.

Opening:

The video opens with the same characters from last time, as they sit at a different table in a different room...
-which looks more detailed. Apparently, the studio that brought us these videos had a bigger budget this time. (sarcasm) Way to go, Kickstarter!
Red Guy: "Oh, I guess it's my turn to choose a card."
So apparently, these characters are playing a board game, where you have to answer questions(?)... I don't know.
Red Guy: "What is the biggest thing in the world?"
Robin: "Hmm. That's a tricky one..."
-Uh, nobody can answer that question. In fact, what kind of question is that?

Confused, the gang turns to a globe with eyes...

Yellow Guy: "Wow! Look...!"
Computer (behind them): (singing) "I'm a computer. I'm a computer-y guy..."
-Wait. I thought the globe was gonna sing to these guys.
-By the way, this was the April Fools' joke that the production played on us. It fooled us into believing that the globe was going to teach the gang, but instead, it was the talking computer. Yep. They had us fooled. Even the video's thumbnail shows the globe, NOT the computer, in order to keep the surprise hidden until the viewer watches the video.

Song:
Anyway, the computer goes on to talk about the uses of a computer. This interests the trio.
Red Guy: "Oh. Maybe you can help us answer this question. What is the biggest-"
Computer: (singing) "Never. I'm very clever-y guy..."
-Wow. What a douche.
And then the computer decides to take the characters onto a field trip.

Computer: "Now before we begin our journey, I just need to get some information from you..."
-Red flag. Stranger danger.
Computer: "What's your name? Where do you live? What do you like to eat?"
Robin: "I live in my house."
Yellow Guy: "Spaghetti!"
Red Guy: "My name is-"
Computer: "Great news!"
-Okay. I know something's gonna happen here.
-Plus, what was with that line: I live in my house? That was gold.
So as you can imagine, the crazy stuff happens after Red Guy tells the computer to shut up, which pisses off the machine.

Computer: "DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"
-FREAKOUT ALERT!!!

So after glitching out for a few seconds, we see our characters in animated form...

-What, they can't spend a lot of money on the animation. I mean, the money is all over their living room. Why not have a huge budget for the animation?
So the computer continues to show the characters more of what they can do on the computer, but Red Guy starts to catch on with the chaos of the Internet(?)...

-That's never explained.

At some point, Red Guy stumbles into a room, which is a Matrix-type setting. Recognize the setting?

It's a cheap copy of the setting of the first installment of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
-I have no clue what is going on here...
The strange people in the room notices Red Guy...
-This is playing like a top secret thing going on... Are you sure we're viewing the right video?
...and for some reason, Red Guy's head explodes...
-Oh, come on, guys! It's a balloon with glitter inside it!

And that was Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4. So how was this video?
It wasn't too bad. I mean, there's still some shock value; however, the shock value isn't that major, because knowing the Youtube series, you already know that the crazy stuff is coming. It's pretty much predictable at this point in time. Regardless, this installment was an okay.
