Rabbids: A Invasão

This show is for kids, and as for such, it is not meant to teach them anything. Its meant to be pure slapstick comedy which is supposed to make kids laugh.

And for most of the time the mischief the Rabbids do is really funny and entertaining. Sure, there are parts where the humor is kind of forced and you could almost say that you laugh out of politeness. But then this is outhweighted by those really dumb Rabbids making so funny things that you wet your pants.

So if you as parent want to only give to your kids only shows which have an educational value, steer away from Rabbids invasion. If you want to have some fun, give it a go.

As of this reading there are two posted reviews for this new show. One of them was glowing and given 9 stars. The other person gave it 1 star and said it was the "worst show ever made" and compared it to cancer. It's impossible to respond to such hyperbole but I will just leave it at "this show might not be for everyone".

Fans of physical comedy will see a timeless style of comedy merged with modern settings and contemporary video game characters and graphics. I think of the Rabbids as a larger group of Three Stooges. They can be somewhat mean spirited towards each other but there is a child like playful quality to them that makes them endearing. Their silly antics also wouldn't work if they were speaking a legible language but we see them instead communicating with exaggerated and hilarious, yet understandable body language.

Fans of the video game Rayman may know more about the origins of the Rabbids but there is no back story given here. I am interested to know more about where they came from but honestly, it doesn't really matter. This is a hilarious show and each episode has had me laughing out loud. The only downside I might add would be that this may be geared more towards adults than the children who are the presumed target audience. I hope Nickelodeon doesn't try to alter and ruin the show the way they did Ren and Stimpy or push it out of the way despite a good following the way they did Invader Zim simply because the humor may be above that of their intended viewers. But the quality of humor is one that can be enjoyed on many levels and by numerous ages.

I don't care what you haters think, I find this show awesome, or should I say, DAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHsome! This DAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHsome show reminds me of the Minions from Despicable Me, but they're the same amount of hilarious. I loved that episode where a Rabbid got locked in a hotel. He was screaming for the other Rabbids to get him outta the hotel. My all-time favorite episode was where the Rabbids were partying. I also loved the theme song, the silhouettes of the Rabbids running and screaming reminds me of Back at the Barnyard, another funny show that I dunno why people hate it. I dunno why show gets hated too, and why its rating fell from 7.2/10 (Yup, this show DID have 7.2/10 as its highest) to 6.3/10 (At least it's at 6.5/10 now) is something I also don't understand. I now see why people like this DAAAAAHHHHHHHHHsome show, because it's funny, hilarious, and once again, DAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHsome with all the Rabbids screaming like crazy and it makes me and my friends scream crazy like them when we watch it together! 8/10 for this DAAAAAAHHHHHHHsome show!

As of May 30, 2015, we're down to 6/10! I'm really sad to see the rating fall lower. I haven't been on for a long time because my laptop broke after I accidentally dropped it on a hard floor in February (I'm using my friend's laptop at McDonald's) and I'm not allowed to use my sister's computer. One question about the rating drop, is it a spambot making the rating fall? Whatever it is, it's gotta stop. I was right about the other spambots. I'm just letting you know that I'm not dead, but I'm really upset to see the ratings of this, Uncle Grandpa, and Sonic Boom falling. The Mr. Men Show's rating hasn't been falling much, but I'm over trying to ban the haters of it and accepted that people are entitled to what they like or dislike. Hopefully some people who hate this show can learn that, too.

The idea was wonderful. Slapstick a six year old can understand and have fun. Also the short clips were universal as there was no speech. Only the grunts of the rabbits/rabbids. Nothing special, but different than the regular humor clip. Naturally I was quite curios about the series. Yet something changed. A lot. The short, funny clips were replaced by longer less funny clips. Somebody must have hated the rabbits/rabbids. The universality of the slapstick humor is replaced by stupid pointless dialogue that is necessary for the let's call it plot. And while the rabbits/rabbids were funny as design, humans look like crap. Back in the days when computer generated animation was new, that was acceptable. But Pixar and the others have raised the bar a lot. But the intern hiring bureaucrat in charge of this series stands behind the bad choices. So you see a lot of the same three ugly human models. Blah!

One Saturday, I woke up with my son and after making breakfast, we settled in and watched a few cartoons on the tried and true kids network, Nickelodeon. Most of these shows were filled with fart jokes and hip lingo. This was, as it seems, to cover for these shows' total lack of wit. Then, a TV friendly version of some of my favorite video game characters croaking out sprach Zarathustra. Those were the Raving Rabbids from the Rayman series. While the show also lacked wit, it shamelessly dovetailed into a slapstick series of misadventures. Compared to what my eyes and ears were subjected to previously, this was such a relief.

What can I say about the plot less, aimless episodes? Chase scenes, mishaps, and beatings dominate this series. If we took a preschool class, somehow made them indestructible, gave them each a case of Red Bull, and turned them loose on the planet, you would get the chaos of this show, and boy I loved it.

"Groundbreaking", "Up to date", "hip", and "original" are not words to describe this show at all. The only word to describe the mayhem in this show would be "fun".

Enjoy the show for what it is, expect nothing big, and you'll have fun,too.
