Rabbids Invasion

I love the rabbids form go home to kingdom battle why oh why nick why you cancelled it oh wait it went to pop then got cancelled but still why they where hilarious.

The idea was wonderful. Slapstick a six year old can understand and have fun. Also the short clips were universal as there was no speech. Only the grunts of the rabbits/rabbids. Nothing special, but different than the regular humor clip. Naturally I was quite curios about the series. Yet something changed. A lot. The short, funny clips were replaced by longer less funny clips. Somebody must have hated the rabbits/rabbids. The universality of the slapstick humor is replaced by stupid pointless dialogue that is necessary for the let's call it plot. And while the rabbits/rabbids were funny as design, humans look like crap. Back in the days when computer generated animation was new, that was acceptable. But Pixar and the others have raised the bar a lot. But the intern hiring bureaucrat in charge of this series stands behind the bad choices. So you see a lot of the same three ugly human models. Blah!

I grew up with multiple shows but this is one that stood out for me.

I consider it as my first ever guilty pleasure considering a lot of people hate it and it is a childish show.

It is nonsensical but fun nonetheless in my opinion. As long as you expect nothing big from it you will enjoy it.

As of this reading there are two posted reviews for this new show. One of them was glowing and given 9 stars. The other person gave it 1 star and said it was the "worst show ever made" and compared it to cancer. It's impossible to respond to such hyperbole but I will just leave it at "this show might not be for everyone".

Fans of physical comedy will see a timeless style of comedy merged with modern settings and contemporary video game characters and graphics. I think of the Rabbids as a larger group of Three Stooges. They can be somewhat mean spirited towards each other but there is a child like playful quality to them that makes them endearing. Their silly antics also wouldn't work if they were speaking a legible language but we see them instead communicating with exaggerated and hilarious, yet understandable body language.

Fans of the video game Rayman may know more about the origins of the Rabbids but there is no back story given here. I am interested to know more about where they came from but honestly, it doesn't really matter. This is a hilarious show and each episode has had me laughing out loud. The only downside I might add would be that this may be geared more towards adults than the children who are the presumed target audience. I hope Nickelodeon doesn't try to alter and ruin the show the way they did Ren and Stimpy or push it out of the way despite a good following the way they did Invader Zim simply because the humor may be above that of their intended viewers. But the quality of humor is one that can be enjoyed on many levels and by numerous ages.

This show is for kids, and as for such, it is not meant to teach them anything. Its meant to be pure slapstick comedy which is supposed to make kids laugh.

And for most of the time the mischief the Rabbids do is really funny and entertaining. Sure, there are parts where the humor is kind of forced and you could almost say that you laugh out of politeness. But then this is outhweighted by those really dumb Rabbids making so funny things that you wet your pants.

So if you as parent want to only give to your kids only shows which have an educational value, steer away from Rabbids invasion. If you want to have some fun, give it a go.
