Get Blake!

This show tries to remake old cartoon plots and clichés and even though it does it in an exaggerated and bizarre way, it still manages to be a lot of fun.

The characters are quite likable (mainly Blake and Mitch) and the Squirrels can be very comical villains.

Although there are episodes that lack sense, logic or reality, it doesn't really matter much because it is a series that tries to be based on a slice-of-Life comedy mixed with science fiction.

The music in the series is very good and there are moments that are usually very entertaining and well animated (especially with Blake doing his stunts on screen).

Three alien squirrels from the future chasing two children who are trying to escape from their traps, it sounds weird and illogical, but it turns out to be very entertaining.

This cartoon has really nothing for him, Blake is an unbearable hero who is constantly put forward while he is dishonest and violent. He only thinks of himself and only wants to help others when it benefits him, directly or indirectly. He also attacks defenseless enemies, for example, when he kicks squirrels in the face even though they have surrendered.

In one episode, he even goes so far as to kidnap Leonard's mother to force her to steal Maxus and Jerome's tickets.

Speaking of Leonard, he's one of the only appreciable characters with Roy Crong (who even if he is unfairly put in the background, manages to be appreciable in his humor).

Otherwise I strongly advise against showing the series to children because it could make them misbehave.

I remember in 2015 I saw a promo for this series and it reminded me of many of my favorite series like Camp Lakebottom and Wander Over Yonder for their character designs.

At first glance this series seems quite funny and quite good ... but sadly it is not, since although the animation looks good, the biggest problem is the main plot of the series.

Yes, let's move on to the main story of the series.

This story focuses on Blake Myers, a young 13-year-old boy who is adventurous, brave and knows all kinds of skills and tricks like Parkour. His best friend is Mitch de la Cruz, a chubby dark boy. Both boys like to do all kinds of things that any kid at that age would do: playing, training, and having fun together. What they had no idea is that Blake in the future will become a kind of space ranger that protects the world from alien threats. Up to this point the plot could work but sadly it also sounds pretty pathetic upon meeting its antagonists, who happen to be ... Alien Squirrels from the future? ... Ok, listen up, the clichéd plot of aliens wanting to conquer the world is fine but Seriously? Alien squirrels ... Who in this world would create such pathetic stereotypes of villains? I mean that the creator has worked on series like Phineas and Ferb and Dr. Heinz Doof is an example of a pathetic villain, but he is a pathetic villain that does make sense in the story and at the same time is comical and it works. But why on earth would squirrel-shaped aliens be a good idea to be villains?

Anyway, three of these alien squirrels known as The Squaliens are sent back to the past with an important mission: Get Blake and prevent him from fulfilling his goal of being a space ranger.

At first glance you might think that the series contains a lot of action and comedy and from time to time it works. But sadly the plots of the episodes are not so original and it relies too much on doing all kinds of clichéd plots like: An episode about being shrunken, an episode about switching bodies, an episode about traveling back in time to the prehistoric times, or an episode where you are turned into an old man.

I have noticed that many of its plots are only taken from other children shows: And to top it all off many of the episode developments make absolutely no sense at all: for example, in the "Get Inked" episode, the Squaliens happen to switch bodies to Blake and Mitch with an octopus and a penguin, which is absurd and it doesn't make any sense.

I find it sad that this series would not have been so good.

However, I must admit that there was a time when I liked to watch this series.

The series would have been better if they had been more original, with more sense and with less absurd aspects.

This show is great i dont even care if the squaliens want to catch him for no reason. i think this has to be the best show ever

In the spirit of past uninspired shows, like "Sidekick", "Grojband" and "Dr. Dimensionpants", here is yet another fast-paced flash animated cartoon with no heart or soul. The show is about two best friends, one fat and one thin, eager to escape a group of squirrels trying to catch "Blake" for no good reason. Even worse, it isn't even explained why they're doing it, not even in the first episode.

The humor is annoying and almost always about slapstick violence, the verbal jokes are usually puns or quotes used everywhere else and nearly all the episodes takes use of every single cartoon cliché known to man.

It's probably a fine show for kids, but adults won't be amused by this. It's part Johnny Test, part Sidekick. It's the simplest form for entertainment, with the usual bad flash animation to go (even internet cartoons made by a single guy animates better). The show would've been a little better if it didn't rush everything, but the cartoon industry continues to throw ADHD induced cartoons at kids.
