Na Onda

I started watching the show because I was a fan of 6teen and I figured it would be good. They did a good job of making the show (and characters) similar, for the most part anyway. Of course, they had to make Reef overly confident like Jonesy, but the thing is Reef goes too far. Jonesy is sexist and obnoxious, but I like him. Reef is like that but worse and far stupider, to a point where he makes Jonesy look smart. Jonesy is a jackass but he has redeeming qualities, like he stands up for his friends when others punk them down. Reef does not do that. And he's more than a jackass, he's a total asshole. And his hair looks really stupid, as if it was struck by lightning. If he died in the show, I might watch it again!

I've been watching my home country's cartoons since I was two years old. I grew up on classics like 6Teen and Total Drama. Needless to say, I was stoked when this show was announced on Teletoon. Despite some of the weird reviews I've seen here, everyone I've ever met has loved Stoked. All my friends have watched it, and some still watch it today. And it's easy to see why: Stoked has a fun personality and is very lovable despite it's flaws, some of which are also prevalent in Total Drama Action. The pros? I love the characters. Each one is bursting with emotion, and the voice actors help carry these emotions phenomenally. The downside to this, however, is that I felt the characters got slightly out-of-touch with their personalities nearing the end of Season 2. They felt different, and not in a good way. However, the first Season is still amazing, and with 26 episodes, it can keep you entertained for a long time.

I've seen some people complain about the over-use of the word "dude", claiming this is surfer stereotyping... well, it isn't. In Canada, dude is a VERY popular word, especially in 2009-2012. And if you've lived near the warmer areas of Canada, you'll know that this kind of lingo is prevalent. And even if you aren't used to this kind of wording, don't worry; the show never makes it sound forced and the voice actors still speak perfectly natural dialogue. Also, the VA for Fin also played Izzy in Total Drama, so you've already got a major talent with her!

Another complaint I've seen on IMDb is about the music... which I honestly don't get. The music in Stoked is fine. It's got some really good songs, actually, and it never feels like it plays too long anyways. So even if you don't like the music (for whatever sick reason you don't enjoy music) then don't fret, because it isn't on-screen for a long time.

The show has some great laughs, very similar to Total Drama Island's humor while having the teenager tone of 6Teen. Personally, I love Stoked way more than 6Teen, mostly due to the smoother animation. The animation for Stoked, while 2D, bursts alive on the screen with constant movement, various camera angles, and beautiful water animation. The characters feel alive, much like the animation in Disney's Tangled TV Series.

I give Stoked a 9/10, with one point deducted due to the drop in character quality seen in Season 2. But other than that, Season 1 is on point, and I recommend that any lovers of 6Teen or TDI should definitely check this out.

As a teenager myself, it seems appropriate that i rate this better than most would. I've heard that its a friends knock off and extremely predictable but i actually found it to be okay. Granted, it didn't make me laugh but there was some crude humor that i found myself grinning at. Again, I'm a bit younger so I haven't seen all the older shows that this supposedly "ripping off," but some of the things are rather cliché to say the least.

However, the relaxed scenes of just the Groms surfing in the ocean are calming.

As for the music, yeah, it gets kind of annoying, but its not like they play the tracks for long. 30-50 secs maybe. But as a BIG All Time Low fan, i really liked the first episode.

Overall, it was okay, a fun show to watch when you're feeling relaxed, and mostly just because I really wish i could be in the ocean surfing.

6 teenage Bummer-dodgers out of 10. :D

Stoked is an underrated classic. It is the most underrated show from FreshTV. Several people love to mention other FreshTV franchises - 6teen, Total Drama, but Stoked is rarely mentioned.

I watched this as a teen and as a young adult on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. I always loved watching these episodes. The characters were entertaining, diverse, they were all quite different, and interacted very well. The script writing was great for the most part, and I also loved the music choices in the series as well. Reef, Broseph, Emma, Lo, Fin and Johnny were an iconic friend group, and I loved how they felt like real characters and had their squabbles but strong moments as well.

Every summer I try to give this a watch to feel nostalgic. It still hits every time I hear that theme song. It is one of the best animated series for teens/young adults, imo. If you haven't watched it before, I can't recommend it enough. Give it a watch!

I remember this show from when it was still airing on Cartoon Network. I heard it was created by Fresh TV (Creators of 6teen and the Total Drama Franchise and spin off). I loved those shows growing up, and still do. THis show was an awesome original concept, and I loved to all the characters. There wasn't a single dislikeable character in the show. I was disappointed the show only got 2 seasons. I highly recommend this show for those who never saw this show.
