The Problem Solverz is not the worst cartoon ever, even on Cartoon Network, but come on. We all know the animation is terrible, how it induces seizures, and has hideous character designs, but come on!! I know Ben Jones has a love for art and animation, but come on, dude!!
Understandably, Ben Jones was part of the Paper Rad art collective, which is a group of artists who created pieces of media, such as, but not limited to, comics, music, zines, and video art. I get that he created the Dogman 99 style to be reminiscent of underground comics, and it's cool that he had a time in his Paper Rad days, but this show is so boring!! Yes, even a cartoon that can hurt your eyes be boring and lazy.
I really do think this show fits better on Adult Swim than Cartoon Network, because this is supposed to be a stoner comedy. And while the animation here is somewhat better than earlier animations, that's not really saying very much. At least Ben Jones isn't Justin Roiland. I'll happily give credit that he actually IS against AI technology, since this show actually predicted the AI invasion, and there were other things I like. The voice acting is alright, and I do like the classic vibes of 80s and 90s popular culture, especially with references to video games.
There were some jokes I found humourous, and I do like their use of cold openings and deductive reasoning. But other than that, it's just a terrible show that never should've been on Cartoon Network. It's so boring that Ben Jones should've thought of knocking some sense into those Adult Swim executives. And Jones should at least give us a warning that the show might induce seizures. I still don't enjoy his work, but he's far from the worst cartoonist ever.
If you actually like this show, that's cool. But if you're not interested, then stay away from it.
