I discovered this series when one day I decided to watch MTV. I decided to stay, since it looked quiet interesting, and ironically, a couple of minutes had passed and nothing interesting happened. I watched this for a couple of weeks, so I could form myself an opinion, and had stopped since. The plot in "Alejo y Valentina" is the following: a couple and their friends live crazy adventures. It is a pretty basic plot, and it actually may work, but there is a problem, the story only moves because of the jokes, there is no rhyme or reason for the events, they just happen for the sake of trying to create laughter.
The characters in this show are the following: a dumb one, a fat guy, an old perverted man, a magic guy (kind of), a grumpy one, an useless main character, and the girlfriend of the main character. They become annoying and uninteresting as time passes. Also, each one has its own catchphrase (that loses all "charm" and "comedic value" at the first 20 times they say it in a single chapter).
The animation is sloppy and bad (probably on purpose), and you can see that each chapter can easily be finished in a single hour (probably exaggerating, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case), the voice acting is pretty annoying, but good considering that a single guy voices almost all the characters, and there is almost no music at all; so this show also fails in the presentation department.
Well, since this is a comedy show, how do the author or authors try to make their audience laugh? Here is the answer: Toilet humor, dirty joke, intentional sloppy animation, annoying voice acting, and epic random events(xDDD) that only an edgy 10 year old kid would found laughable. That's the main problem I have with "Alejo y Valentina", it's not funny. The show tries so hard to make itself so epic and random, that it forgets to be funny. The jokes are cringeworhty, the catchphrases are annoying, everything sucks, etc. Just because it makes no sense doesn't mean it has to be funny.
It is sad to think that someone actually makes money out of this poorly made product that any beginner could make. I would not recommend this show to anyone, only if you are an underage trying to show some edge.
