T.U.F.F. Puppy

Nickelodeon has introduced some not so good shows during the late 2000s and early 2010s, but Tuff Puppy is one good show from that time period! Unlike some other Nicktoons that were made at the time, it has no fart jokes, no poop jokes, no gross out humor, nothing, except in the theme song; it mentions that the protagonist, Dudley Puppy aka Tuff Puppy, used to drink out of the toilet and chew his butt, though thankfully he gave up those habits to become a secret agent. I liked this show when it started in 2010, and I later started to hate it for a while (though I didn't think it was as bad as some other modern Nicktoons like Fanboy and Chum Chum), but I now like it again, and it's still not one of my favorite shows.

I like the music. It's extremely fast paced (in a good way) and sounds like music from an action movie or TV series. The people involved had appropriate choices for music, after all this is an action-packed show about secret agent animals trying to stop evil doers. It helps strengthen the show's unique blend of comedy, action, and adventure. I especially love the theme song! It's fast paced, catchy, and has a vibrant beat! I don't know how else to describe the music.

The animation and art style are good too! They look similar to other Nicktoons, like The Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom. This was created by the same person who created those two shows, Butch Hartman, which explains a lot. The animation is very smooth and energetic, and the colors are bright and vibrant. I don't know how else to describe it.

My favorite character is Dudley Puppy. He's willing to stop all meanness and badness and arrest any criminal. How can one go wrong with a character like that? He is a doofus (in a good way), but not just for the sake of being stupid. His stupidity makes him very funny for the most part, much like one of my favorite SpongeBob SquarePants characters, Patrick Star. My favorite quote by Dudley is "Always tell the truth, never take stuff that doesn't belong to you, and don't chew your butt in public!" Those are good words to live by! I think it's self-explanatory as to why. He has good chemistry with his colleagues, most notably his partner, Kitty Katswell. Am I the only one who has noticed that he somewhat resembles Snoopy?

Tuff Puppy is an underrated show. If you're tired of the Nick shows with mean-spirited and gross out humor and are looking for a good modern Nicktoon, watch Tuff Puppy.

T. U. F. F. Puppy is a fun and entertaining animated television series that originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2010 to 2015. The show was created by Butch Hartman, the same creator of the popular Nickelodeon series, The Fairly OddParents.

The series follows the adventures of Dudley Puppy, a dim-witted but enthusiastic and determined dog who is recruited by an organization called T. U. F. F. (Turbo Undercover Fighting Force) to become a secret agent and help protect the citizens of Petropolis from various evil villains.

One of the things that sets T. U. F. F. Puppy apart from other animated series is its unique blend of action, comedy, and adventure. The show features fast-paced action sequences, clever humor, and a colorful cast of characters that are both memorable and entertaining.

The animation style is also top-notch, with bright and vibrant colors, smooth animation, and eye-catching designs. The voice acting is also excellent, with talented actors bringing the characters to life and adding to the show's humor and charm.

While T. U. F. F. Puppy may be geared towards a younger audience, it's a show that can be enjoyed by viewers of all ages. The show's humor and action are sure to keep kids entertained, while the witty jokes and pop culture references will appeal to older viewers.

Overall, T. U. F. F. Puppy is a fun and entertaining animated series that is definitely worth checking out. With its unique blend of action, comedy, and adventure, it's a show that is sure to leave you laughing and wanting more.

TUFF Puppy was the third cartoon created by Butch Hartman. Normally, you'd expect a person whose been working in the same professional for so long to only get better at their craft, but unless the craft is "making cartoons as cheap as possible" then Hartman hasn't exactly been excelling at anything.

The show has all the board pieces needed to create a sensational cartoon. Interesting characters, a few talented voices, a colorful and cleverly imagined world. So where did it go wrong? For starters, the dialog at parts can be cringey. Hartman has had a quirk involving running gags which he cannot shed, a character will shout something random and typically unrelated to anything anyone else is talking about, and proceed to do this two more times throughout the show. This happens a lot in new Fairly OddParents episodes as well. There are just too many forced attempts at being funny when there is no need to be. That doesn't mean this cartoon isn't ever funny, because it is, but you tend to remember the misses more than hits and this cartoon misses a lot. Hartman's humor is perpetually stuck in 1970's Hanna-Barbera mode.

Also hurting this cartoon was the lack of direction, which while Hartman may think he can get away with in Fairly Odd Parents, for an action cartoon like this or Danny Phantom it helps to actually have some sort of end goal to be striving to reach. Instead, the heroes capture the villains, who are then released (typically off-screen) by the next episode. Catch and release, just like a recreational fishing pond. It gets boring very quick especially for kids. What if Avatar: The Last Airbender just had Aang and friends sending a comically inept Zuko blasting off again Team Rocket style every episode instead of actually having a journey? TUFF Puppy had three main villains who quickly became too inept for even the writers to take them seriously, and the occasional one episode wonder villain who was sometimes clever, sometimes not.

Still aside from the shortcomings, the show being rated as low as it is of the time me writing this (about 4.8) is an absolute ruse. It's not worse than the likes of Uncle Grandpa or Sanjay and Craig, this show actually has a sense of style and sensible act direction, and the handful of animation awards its won are mostly deserved. That's the wonky 10 point review system for ya, if you like a cartoon is a 10 if not its a 1 and there is no reason to rationalize a middle ground. Some of the bad reviews I read seem focused on apply logic to cartoons ala "Why hasn't Dudley been fired for his antics?" or something silly, thats what happens when you spend too much time on TVtropes.

I honestly haven't seen this show in a long time, but I kinda took a liking to it in the past.

It was good yet it got cancelled? Nick should've kept it on Nick Toons.

I think the Chameleon may have been the funniest villain in the series besides Snaptrap.

I don't see why people keep saying its stupid and terrible. It's a pretty decent show to me. But it's not the best. I've seen better and I've seen worse. This show is in the middle for me. At least it's better than the other new crap Nickelodeon calls shows like Sanjay and Craig and the Breadwinners...etc. The only thing that's annoying to me in this show is Snaptraps voice. It's just plain annoying. Other than that, it's a pretty good show.

I like how Dudley is voiced by Jerry Trainor, mostly because he's from iCarly. iCarly was one of my favorite shows until they recently stopped making new episodes. Anyway, ya, I give T.U.F.F. Puppy a 6/10
