Seren's Studies: The Odd Squad UK Gadget Competition Results Video (Part 2)

Damn Tumblr and their 30-image limit. And damn them putting a higher limit behind a paywall. Truly, we have fallen from grace.

(And if you think I am paying for that, hell to the no I am the not.)

Anyway, let's move on to the back end of this results video. Peep below the break!

(But make sure to read Part 1 first -- find it here!)

unamused_andalsogotohell.png

Sure, this video might have much better editing, but it doesn't stop this error of Orwell standing stock-still from popping up.

It's like the Odd Squad equivalent of enjoying the beach from the comfort of inside your car when you can just walk onto the beach and be more comfortable.

And this one goes out to everyone who's afraid of having seaweed touch them.

Like me, Doug Heffernan, and a good chunk of the UK population.

Somewhere in Canada, Olive was able to fit her entire small body under a couch.

She's staying there for the foreseeable future.

Security deposit, rent, and utility costs have all been waived.

"I'm going to snap your neck."

"Clean the pie off of your face first and maybe I'll take you seriously on that."

"...Go to hell."

"I've been in hell for a decade. Try me."

DO Y' GEDDIT??? BECAUSE OLIVE??? D' Y' GEDDIT????? FUNNY LAUGH??????????? KNEE SLAP???????

...WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NOT FUNNY, DIDN'T LA"-

Bent-ass lesson coming from the kid who was laughing at his coworker just before.

A little jarring, but I respect this spin on the "Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there" catchphrase. It's like a four-way thumb war challenge!

Yeah, well, "gazillion" isn't a real number...Onom.

(You know it had to be done. I knew it had to be done. They laid the reference on a platter and I am using it for its most practical purpose.)

Hey, remember Oswald's number-carrying bit in "Portalandia"?

That was funny. It took me aback because it's a commonly-applied mathematical cliche pertaining to incorrect math in a show that is about correct math.

This...feels like they're trying to replicate that, and failing. Like now that they're focusing on STEM, they don't need to be overly correct anymore.

It's not funny, is my point.

OH WHO-HO-HOOOOOOOOOA HEY HI HELLO SHOT FROM THE INTRO HOW YA DOIN'.

So I guess 1) Orli is narrating the opening, which, really, does not surprise me, and 2) we're going back to the "huddle and badass armfold" roots of Season 1 and Season 2. And in this tinny lil' fandom, you can bet that people are analyzing the hell out of both.

(Yeah, we have fun playing with what little food we're given. How about you?)

-----------------------------------------------

So overall, this was a much better video than the initial briefing video. It definitely seems like they were holding everything back and saving it for this one, and frankly, I don't blame them. If this is what the actual show looks and feels like, I'm even more game than I already was before.

Odd Squad as a franchise is no stranger to contests -- they've held many in the past ten years, most with little fanfare outside of one social media post. However, this is the first one I've seen that is just straight-up advertising. And somehow, it hooked me solid.

Big congrats to Safiyah for her grand win with the Memory-inator. Whether she won both the UK and the US contests or just the UK one remains to be seen, but I'm not going to do a separate Seren's Study for both versions of the video because, put simply, there is no second version of the video. Corporate needed me to find the difference between the CBBC video and the PBS Kids video, and I told them straight out, "They're the same goddamn video."

You know what I will do a Seren's Study on next, though? The second trailer. So I'll see you folks around for that.

Seren out!

Masumi for the four headcanons. And Mu Milgram also :)

literally thinking about this ask took me out

masumi

realistic: he downloaded B3! (from one of the manga anthologies u know the one where itaru makes a summoning circle out of curry? that one) IMMEDIATELY after seeing the heroine

funny: tetsuro will not let him near in progress sets, not pointing any fingers but that's what happens when you have your hands in your pockets all the time butthead

crispie killer-inator: good god okay. so yk that one part of Alex in wonderland where he's describing what he thinks adulthood? NOW THAT ITSELF IS A KILLER ON ITS OWN. BUT THOSE BELIEFS DONT COME OUT OF NOWHERE RIGHT? masumi was thinking that for a while before mankai :3 do u ever think about why masumi had so much free time just to walk around? he thought clubs were a distraction he just wanted to get through highschool as quickly as possible

unrealistic: masumi eats wood shavings he can cook a pack of ramen noodles bro there's no way He was bullshitting so hard

additionally:

MU!!!!!!!!!!!

realistic: I'm in love with her she has one of those fancy crepe makers like the reverse pan thing? one of these

and it's bedazzled!!

funny: she picked up a job at 7/11 a while back but got fired within a week for stealing a can of Pringles. it just happened. she doesn't even like Pringles

crispie-killerinator: HER AND THE PURPLE GIRL WHERE DATING BUT BROKE UP!!!!!!! The girl with the brown hair rolls stuff found out and outed them, they had to break up for damage control

unrealistic: she has a hidden tumblr aesthetic blog but she purely posts nickelodeon slime clips, it's not even aesthetic, the pretty theme is a lie

Is It Really THAT Bad?

So, Dr. Seuss. What a guy, am I right? The man is responsible for some of the best and most creative works of zany poetry ever, making up nonsense words and crafting iconic characters and locales. And when it comes to adapting his works, the best way to go has tended to be animation, with the Grinch getting one of the most iconic cartoons of all time and Horton and the Lorax offering up some decent adaptations as well. But those are short films; for feature films, Seuss has been a mixed bag.The live-action Grinch and the Blue Sky version of Horton are at least somewhat well-regarded, with the former being praised for Carrey’s performance and the Oscar-winning makeup work while the latter has a lot of the fun charm of Seuss even if some awkward moments are sprinkled in; meanwhile, the Illumination versions of the Grinch and Lorax are seen as soulless, dull, and even outright bad, though the latter veers more into “so bad it’s good” territory. But there is a movie that stands out even in this crowd, a movie that has lived in infamy since its release…

The Cat in the Hat.

Nominated for eight Razzies and critically eviscerated, the film is at the time of this writing sitting at the bottom spot of the IMDB Bottom 100. Long has the film been reviled for its uncanny valley makeup on star Mike Meyers, its odd adult humor, and just in general being a terrible adaptation… but in the late 2010s, something curious happened. Memes.

Tumblr from 2017 to 2020 has gone out of its way to make memes out of the film, post screenshots, and generally just rehabilitate the film’s image, however slightly. And it was this that led me to check this film out, a film that derailed the career of its director and star for quite a long while. Was this film really worth nominating for the “Worst Comedy of Our First 25 Years” Razzie? Was Meyers’ performance worthy of him being nominated for “Worst Actor of the Decade?” Does this film truly deserve the revulsion it got on release?

In short… is it really THAT bad?

THE GOOD

Ok, hear me out on this one… Mike Meyers.

I’m not going to pretend like this costume is amazing, especially compared to the Grinch, mostly because it’s obvious Meyers is uncomfortable under all that makeup. I will say that, despite it all, Meyers actually does manage to be funny at quite a few points, with the standout example being the Kupkake-inator scene, or generally any time he decides to try and resort to murder as an option, which is so disturbingly hilarious that it somehow works. Of course, a lot of his schtick does end up being pretty lame or awkward, but I’ll deal with it for a few cheap laughs.

Generally speaking, the humor in this film has aged pretty well. Again, not every joke lands, but there is a lot of humor that feels very shitposty and even resonant with current era of internet comedy. It helps that the entire film feels bizarre and inexplicable, so when something bizarre and inexplicable happens like the Cat hallucinating after being hit in the nuts or a weird matador sequence pops up out of nowhere or the Cat goes to a rave and flirts with Paris Hilton, it’s almost like “Yeah, this definitely could happen.”

I don’t think the quality of the set design is up for debate; the town looks gorgeous, and very Dr. Seussy. The colors just pop, and the characters inhabiting the town that we get to see feel like goofy cartoons brought to life. They really got the setting down, because the setting of any Dr. Seuss story is instrumental in creating a tone and atmosphere for the work, and I think that was accomplished to great effect here, whatever your opinion on the overall film is.

THE BAD

Let’s get the big issue out of the way first: as an adaptation of the beloved children’s story, this is almost disrespectful. Almost. I do think that adult jokes and mature humor can work in a Dr. Seuss adaptation; Green Eggs and Ham did it pretty well and had moments that would be funnier to adults than kids. The thing is, in that show, they never did anything quite as blatant as having an acronym spell out “shit” or having a character call a gardening tool a “dirty hoe” before apologizing and attempting to French kiss it. I think adult humor has its place but I totally get if this crosses a line for some people.

And then there are the Things. Thing 1 and Thing 2 look absolutely terrible and creepy. Like, for all the crap people give the Cat, he doesn’t look nearly as bad as the wretched henchmen the cat calls upon. These two are disgusting little demons and gazing upon their wretched visages fills me with an insurmountable dread, a dread that reminds me that I am but a mortal and my time on this Earth is finite, while these nightmarish gremlins will exist in the minds of mankind long after I am gone.

In short, they suck.

It also goes without saying that the film’s CGI has aged very badly. Even at the time, this couldn’t have been the best they could have brought forth. The worst of it is definitely the fish, who is not only bad CGI but is utterly superfluous and inexplicable in the film. He was an important character in the book, but here, he’s more of a running joke and has no real purpose.

I mean, I guess the acting isn’t amazing? Like the performances are all either hammy or a bit wooden; the kids especially tend to be the latter, but it’s not the worst I’ve ever seen. And Meyers is firmly in the former, and I’m not gonna lie, I can see why he was despised and why someone might not like him, though I found him generally entertaining. Other than that, though… there’s not much else I can say is genuinely awful. The film is only about 80 minutes long, so its not like it lingers, it’s over fairly quickly and there are enough jokes that you can power through the crappier bits.

Is It Really THAT Bad?

So I’m of two minds about this film.

On the one hand, it’s most certainly a terrible and borderline disrespectful adaptation that features some of the most repulsive and awkward makeup work you will ever see and has an abundance of random humor that seems to just be there in an attempt to entertain the short attention spans of children. I totally get why Seuss’ estate decided live-action adaptations were no longer allowed after seeing this film.

But on the other hand… I definitely vibe with some of this weird, random humor. In a way, this movie was ahead of its time; if it came out more recently, it probably would have garnered an ironic fandom a hell of a lot sooner. Like this film is full of memeable moments with some genuinely enjoyable humor scattered among the cringey bits, so writing it off entirely seems a bit disingenuous. I don’t think this is a film that rises above “So bad it’s good” territory, but it is firmly in there, because there’s too much to like here for me to condemn it as it was already condemned.

Its current score of 3.9 on IMDB is… really not unwarranted. I’d say anything within 3.9 to maybe a 5.5 would be suitable, though I don’t think it deserves to be on the Bottom 100, and I’m not sue I think it deserved so many Razzies (few movies ever do, really). I generally think this movie is far better than The Lorax, because this movie manages to have a bit of humor and at least some respect for Seuss, where that movie is constantly undermined by the reality of its corporate nature. The film feels a bit underrated, if I’m being totally honest.

While I can’t say all the humor gels well and this movie is certainly not legitimately amazing, it has its moments and it’s worth checking out if you’re in to more modern nonsensical humor. I think it leans a bit more to the good side of “so bad it’s good,” though it’s good in a lowbrow, stupid way. But hey, movies like that have their place, and this movie has certainly made its mark on meme culture. 

It’s certainly not the worst thing ever, and it’s not even the worst movie featuring jarringly humanized cats… we’ll get to that one eventually.
