Your joke is not so complicated that it needed six minutes to explain.
Another double episode premiere, but there’s already five shows backed up as of waking up, and I need to get the dogs out before it begins pouring for the rest of the day, so it’ll be slow going today with probably a break already to beat the rain. Definitely not because I’ve already glanced at them all and am dreading every one.
Impressions:
As of the halfway point in the episode, there have only been about three or four jokes. It’s so enamored of the title/premise ‘gag’, that it spends three minutes setting it up, screams out the title, plays the OP, and when it returns to the episode proper, screams out the title one more time. However, it considers that too much information, so needs to spend the next couple minutes explaining it. And then they set out on the journey so she can recap the last five minutes. This kind of pattern would repeat with the awful Hide and Seek song where it not just repeats the chorus, but gives up and repeats the animation sequence as well. Having ended that, it’s time for, you guessed it, another recap of the situation. Repetition, overreaction, and explaining the jokes; the three fundamentals of comedy.
Not a great start, and the rest of the episode is more of the same. While there’s some attempt at variety, I guess mainly thinking about that nasally awful song, the pacing is shot to absolute hell, and the jokes themselves are bad to start with even before they get yelled, overreacted to, and explained three to four times each. Same sins as most modern comedies. Not actually zany or absurd enough to have an identity, and in love with the premise so much that they need to remind you of it every minute.
