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.
