Breadwinners

The first time I saw this show, I knew that nick has lost it's marbles. The premise is ludicrous. You can tell that nickelodeon has gone nuts by green lighting a show takes the idea that ducks like bread and run off with it for TWENTY-FOUR episodes. The character names are absurd.

The humor in this show is half witted, often weak, and abuses butt humor.(e.g Twerking). It's a show about badly animated ducks cracking weak jokes, singing badly and all the while twerking frequently and delivering bread to stock images of ducks. The music is 80's arcade music on speed, and it's character design is laughable. (see below)

The animation? SwaySway's head is too big for his body to support, and his face is gargantuan and jarring. (in the pilot, of course.) The 2 main characters look like Flappy Bird recolors/rejects instead of ducks. At least with the creators of Allen Gregory they regretted making the show and canceled it. Here, nick believed it would be their redemption.

This show is mediocre and lazy, using stock images of ducks for every single other duck character, even the bread. It's lazy at best, and jarring at worst. (in this case, it's in between lazy and jarring.)

It's copying what 3 other series (Uncle Grandpa, Amazing world of Gumball, and even dick figures) did before it. It tries to be random and funny, and fails miserably. Randomness and Toilet humor aren't inherently funny. You have to make it funny. Same thing goes for pop culture references.

This show tries to be Fanboy and Chum Chum, Season 6-9 Spongebob, and Sanjay and Craig at the same time by believing that randomness and butt jokes. Never once do they get a laugh out of anyone above the age of 10.

(The fans are naive and immature, yes, but you can already figure that out by watching the show for longer than 10 seconds. Nick doesn't care, as long as it's making $$$ and is PG. The parents don't care, as long as it's PG. The plots? i've seen better plots from any modern YTP on the web.

Making Fiends and Invader Zim were good shows, and they didn't live to reach their apex. This show, on the other hand, lives to see a second season. This says a lot about nickelodeon's current standards. Sad much?

As for those who don't understand as to why we don't think it's awesome or want it canceled, it provides nothing of substance, doesn't follow a coherent plot, and it's humor is mostly toilet humor with Twerking thrown in.

Bottom Line, giving this show even a 1 would be too generous, and the arguments made in this shows defense are futile. Maybe the fans will develop a better sense of humor, and maybe this show will be cancelled, or hopefully forgotten, even.

This is one of the worst shows i have ever seen in my life.. the animation sucks the lessons the show teaches are bad and there is so much violence and gore to the point where it will make your four year old want to puke.

I'm probably going to sound harsh on this, but this is one of the WORST SHOWS I'VE SEEN MY WHOLE LIFE! I mean, come on Nick! Why can't you see that kids don't like fart jokes or anybody? It's...Not....Funny. Plus, why are the ducks twerking and showing their butts? It's disgusting. What happened to shows like Hey Arnold!, Doug, CatDog, or Rugrats? You know what else makes me mad? Nick airs the most grossest shows ever instead of mature cartoons like Hey Arnold! Why Nick? Why???

Anyways, I hope this show gets cancelled soon. If this is renewed for another season, oh my gosh I'm going to strangle something!!!! I'd rather watch Dora than this bullcrap....

Nickelodeon has been garbage lately, first Korra, then Sanjay and Craig, NOW THIS... What the crap is this? This sucked! Nickelodeon gave THIS a series, yet they rejected The Modifyers? All this show is is two ducks twerking and making unfunny butt jokes. There ARE a couple innuendos, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. This is an extremely poorly made cartoon. Bad acting, bad characters, bad plots, HORRENDOUS ANIMATION, and no redeeming factors. Any parent that lets their kids watch this waste of time should be shot. If you want a REAL funny but silly cartoon, check out Uncle Grandpa on Cartoon Network. Also watch Wander Over Yonder on Disney XD, stay clear of Breadwinners on Nickelodeon. Save yourself.

Much like most of the critically hated cartoons, I've never expected to like it at all, I knew this was going to be horrendous from beginning to end, although to be fair, I was kinda hoping that I might laugh at this show for being so bad it's good or maybe so laughably bad, but my point still stands.

I was certain to have expectations for some of the cartoons from the 2010s that received higher scores then this and none of them delivered, for as bad as Breadwinners is, I at least understood what I was in for and wouldn't you know it, I've got exactly that.

It's just a generic first time cartoon with no thought or effort put into it, but that kinda grinded my gears even more considering the fact that it was a first time cartoon, how is that even possible?

The concept of 2 ducks working in a bread mine is nothing more than just generic as the show offers nothing new or valuable to the table, not only that but the breads they mind for are something that only Shaggy and Scooby Doo would dream of.

The humor and storylines are basically Looney Tunes and Ed, Edd N Eddy mixed together, it's the Ed, Edd N Eddy set up with some gross out humor and some of the Looney Tunes humor thrown in to create this monster and when I mean monster I mean nothing I would want to deal with.

The artwork and animation don't became much better than the stories and humor as they're basically stolen images and the Flappy Bird thrown into the character designs and that isn't what I would want, I think what the show is trying to by inspired by video games, but unfortunately though, due to poor visuals, that's where they fall flat.

How is the acting? Better, the characters were poorly written, don't get me wrong, but the voice overs did the best they possibly can here, which the show does get credit for, with that being said, that's the only decent thing about it.

My certain apologies if this review was extremely short, but this show gave me nothing to work with, I'm obviously giving Breadwinners 1 out of 4 stars, originally half a star out of 5, but I've decided to be nice since it's a first time, why I'll never know.

Final score: 1 out of 4 stars = 25%
