Butch Hartman's shows

[Avaitor]

I figured I should bump this, since a sequel to the live-action FOP movie is coming out soon.

FUCKING WHY!?

Apparently it did well. Probably better than the show has done in years.

[Commode]

Haha, oh lord.

[Dr. Insomniac]

At least Drake Bell can feed himself for another few weeks.

Kidd, you ready to review this one too?

Why am I not surprised? This is coming from the same channel that made, like, three Fred movies.

There were 2 more Fred movies??


Wow. Just wow.

Dom't forget the TV show.

This is what I get for not keeping tabs on anything Nick-related for years outside of the new TMNT.


Anyways, back on point: Butch Hartman's style of characters yelling a lot, frequently repeated jokes and an abundance of obnoxious and unlikable characters never gelled with me personally, but evidently folks go for it, since he keeps getting work at Nick.

The main Hartman thing I enjoyed was the first Phish and Chip short (the second one just seemed like a poor clone of the first). The Crash Nebula pilot had potential, but it quickly degenerated into a meshing of Danny Phantom and Lloyd in Space.

So this is what various Nick characters would look like under Butch's pencil.

I actually found that kind of disturbing. So many of the characters had those manic Hartman grins on their faces, like they were seconds away from reaching for the meat ax.

I blame Butch Hartman more than anyone else for the sterilization of animation styles in the past decade.

Jamie Lynn Spears especially looks creepy. I can see why he avoids brown eyes.

[Commode]

They all look the same as characters on his shows.  I mean, Patrick looks just like the Gilbert Gottfried dentist on FOP.

Is Fairly Oddparents really still going? I just... find that so hard to understand.

Who is still watching?

[Peanutbutter]

Kids. Hence why its lasted almost as much as Spongebob.



I don't believe I've caught the episodes after the dog, but the episodes with Poof I saw were all right.

Surprisingly, it's been more consistent in the ratings lately than SpongeBob. While SBSP has been up and down for the past couple of years, FOP still brings in strong ratings regularly.

Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
