The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (2008)
what is all of you peoples problems?
***This review is Rate PG-13 (or R (IDK)) for drug reference***
First off, I'm going to rate this a 10/10 for 3 reasons. 1. Thats thehighest it will let me rate. 2. I, LOVE, this show. It's original,funny, and it's one of the better shows on cartoon network, which hasreally started to go downhill with a lot of the newer shows like the 3scooby doo remakes that they have now, and the absolutely HORRIBLEanime/cartoon mutant hybrid shows such as Ben 10 and Generator Rex which are enough to make me smash my TV its self. And then there's Johnny test but, i wont get into that because its the wrong page, but "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack" is a quality, good, clean show, unlike every Total Drama show that they have now which have some very unchild friendly themes and content.
Granted, there are some rather dark and disturbing things in this show, but its made up by the funny dialog, uplifting colors and characters so that when those parts roll around they just make you giggle. Which is probably the way the show was meant to be.
and finally #3. I just don't see how anybody could not like this show. It's adorable at bear minimum.
Flapjack is like a little American tofu ball u just want to roll up and eat because he probably tastes like rainbows and unicorns and gumdrops.
Cap'n K'nuckles is a crude, hardened "adventurer" who may start most of their problems by either lying, stealing, cheating, or some other conman/pirate hobby, but despite his crack-like candy addiction and alcoholic-maple syrup-drinking problem he always find a touching and heart-warming moral which flapjack and most kids grow from. Because its a kid show. Not a show for people over 13. Unless you're like me and my friends and you enjoy children's cartoons well into your teens.
But this show wasn't meant to be like Rugrats, Johnny Bravo, Angry Monsters or Hey Arnold!, which were all really great shows that I miss. And if it was meant to be like that then they greatly missed the mark and spawned a funny show itself.
Oh, and if it was like older cartoons then i would read mostly negative reviews calling it a "ripoff" of the older shows.

okay, could have been better.
As a teenager myself, it seems appropriate that i rate this better than most would. I've heard that its a friends knock off and extremely predictable but i actually found it to be okay. Granted, it didn't make me laugh but there was some crude humor that i found myself grinning at. Again, I'm a bit younger so I haven't seen all the older shows that this supposedly "ripping off," but some of the things are rather cliché to say the least.
However, the relaxed scenes of just the Groms surfing in the ocean are calming.
As for the music, yeah, it gets kind of annoying, but its not like they play the tracks for long. 30-50 secs maybe. But as a BIG All Time Low fan, i really liked the first episode.
Overall, it was okay, a fun show to watch when you're feeling relaxed, and mostly just because I really wish i could be in the ocean surfing.
6 teenage Bummer-dodgers out of 10. :D
