Bazooka Steve

Warning: Spoilers
This won't go down as a classic, but overall this was a pretty solid episode AD episode. As a football fan I am glad they featured it prominently and took on the concussion element in a fair way.

The Hayley storyline could have been explored a bit more, but not nearly enough Roger in this one. Sometimes the episodes are fine without him, but this could have used more of his antics.

Bazooka Steve

This episode tends to get kind of a bad wrap for the main plot being too one-note, but I find it to be a rather relatable episode. It rings so eerily true to real life.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler Alert!



For people who want to see this episode, please don't. That's right folks, this is yet another mean-spirited like episode.

Warning!!! The next paragraph I will talk will be rude, mean, and yet a little potty mouth (which will be censored). If you don't want to read this, please understand that this episode might be the same emotion you will feel if you watch this. I hope you will understand. only 14+ to read.





Review:

Story A: The first two minutes were like the viewers what going on and why is Steve on the island, well it takes place in 3 to 5 business days ago (3 to 5 business days, really!? Can't say 3 to 5 days ago?) It explains that it all happen in Arena Football, when Stan favorite team are Bazooka Sharks. Steve find out that Football are some dangerous sports that can really hurts people, especially people who get injured like a concussion (which is very true to NFL). Even when they are cheering that most people get hurt and Steve can't take it anymore (be honest folks, you people like this and cheer for this in every football game).

To me, Steve went too deep about this and he convince to the star quarterback player to quit, and he did. And the only funny scene in the entire episode is a replacement of the quarterback and he got the white flag, which automatically end not just the game, but the entire season. Later (which make the episode completely bad), show the quarterback explain why he quit and said the guardian angel save him (which he didn't say Steve name) nobody knows who said that to him.

Warning, rage speaking alert!!!

It would be a better story to know who told him, but Steve got caught and his name show in the news cause the Snitching 'censored' of a mother Francine sold him out. Stan is Upset, Francine sold him out and said never love him again, and Klaus against him. I get to the character problems later, but for now, only storytelling first. Because when the character's personality is out of character and too dark, you know this episode going to be bad.

When Steve went to school, everyone (even his friends) are against him after it was exposed to the news. It not just that, he went to the radio station to explain his side of the story. This part would be saved if they 'let' him explain everything cause the host just to keep interrupting him. But there three call and one of them is Francine calling his own son, his own son, say horrible things to him. I mean what kind of a mother is she, a 'censored' of a mother!!!?

When he got out of the station, he got caught and run away to not get kill.......that right, you heard me!! They want him dead. And when Stan is there, I thought he going to save Steve. But nope, he part of the mob too. o_o..........Not only this is off character for Stan and Francine, but it downright 'ruthless' that this is more of a child abuse!!! He escapes and go to the post office to ship himself away for this town and have a new life.

To me and the viewers, they thought it would take few days or weeks, but this is three months!! You heard me three 'censored' months!! Steve only job in the new place he is to make baskets made of leaves. But later he is watching other people (which is their game) to push the boulders to the volcanos (ironic that every island or that type of place have a volcano). Steve learns of what sportsmanship did to reality of the people what they with their lives.

Steve Convince the star quarterback player to come back to the Bazooka Sharks (without explain how Steve came back to town, which is rushed ending). The star quarterback accepts this, even if he has a hard concussion, he accepts that. -_-........ Everything went back, and Steve says sorry (which he doesn't have to apologize cause these 'censored' don't deserve it) And that the end of that.

What the heck kind of writing is that!!? These dumb writers and story boarder should be ashamed. I mean really, ashamed!!

Story B: This part of story is very rushed and didn't focus more often. It about Haley forced to be a cab driver to pay Roger's gambling debt. No matter what, it didn't connect to story A. It just there for a little bit and it nothing funny about it. It just 'where the help'? Even on three months later, she doesn't even know who Steve anymore because she can't remember his face. She said the streets is her brother. But the thing is the first month, she already pays the debt and forgot that this is her life now (smell like a parody). That's it!

Now let talks about:

characters:

warning, swearing alert!!!

Stan: A CIA who Let his son went through living nightmare and didn't even try to help him out or understand. Maybe if he didn't take Steve to the game, none of this would have happen. During the mob scene, he was involved and try to kill his own son. The biggest child abuser I have ever seen. And it not even on the funny part, this is a very off character on him and completely bad. Even at three months, he didn't even try to find his son. At the end he accepts the apologize, and he didn't apologize to his son back. This is so hypocrite and Stan does not deserve this apologize.

Francine: (dear lord) The most season they are making, the ruder she'll be and the 'censored' of the character she will evolve. I can't stand her during the TBS era. In this episode, she ratted out on Steve and a snitch of a 'censored' that she is, exposed him on the news and say never love her again. But later, the radio station, (correct me if I was wrong) she said during a call, she said she says Steve is a stupid little 'censored'. 0_0 What kind of a mother is she when she said that to her own son. She an awful piece of 'censored', isn't she!? She is mostly a child abuse, way worse that peter and stan together. She is one of the horrible mother in human being and she should be burning in fire. I am amazed during further episode she in heaven (which is rigged).

Steve: Well he doesn't know much of sports, but he should know by now. Although some scene is dark that he has question about this, so I wouldn't blame him. If I was him, I would do the same when he tells the quarterback to quit. It was concern for the health and health is very important. (take notes NFL).

Haley: She shouldn't do what she did to the gambling. This is more of a less focus on this character on this episode. Even then, she didn't help Steve cause of her own problems. And even if fix her problems, she didn't help Steve.

conclusion:

This episode is bad and why does any reviewers or critics be honest. I may do this as too deep to critize this, but this is the whole truth. This one is mean-spirited, rushed story and rushed ending. Didn't focus on more Haley, and most of every viewers greatest nightmares of all, off characters!! This is very bad, and I feel bad at Steve and so should you!!

IMBD, stop lying!! This is 6.7 out of 10, it 4 out of 10. Read all of this why I give this a 4, and so should you.

This is 4 out of 10! If I was you, I should skip this episode and watch baseball or other sports instead. Cause if you do, you might go against not the creator (well, maybe you do), but against the writers and storyboards (just like I'm doing back then). Or in comedy turns, watch something else that makes you calm in the entire 30 minutes.

Thank you for your time and I hope you understand.
