Visuals aside, the show's just whatever. Sometimes the guys argue and the dialogue can be funny but it's mostly this miasma of surrealism trying to have a plot.
Seeing this show in retrospective, it's kind of amusing seeing it share some similarities with smilling friends, such as the premise, with the main difference that smilling friends is actually watchable. It also makes me wonder what is Enter's opinion of smilling friends, to considering how much he seems to dislike adult swim, he probably wouldn't like it, but is keeping his opinion since he doesn't want to get lynched for it.
If you’ve ever seen the Spamtopia episode of Smiling Friends, then Problem Solverz is a worse version of it stretched on for hours. Anyway Gumball is next, a show Enter has actually praised pretty substantially in past reviews
He did comment on the show a couple of times, with one such example being in one of his "Unpopular Opinions" videos:
It’s the most incomplete review so far and it shows. Honestly should’ve had a 10 second popup about this being outdated instead of spending nearly a minute explaining the obvious. Besides that, Gumball is a good show but it sure as shit isn’t the best pure comedy on the network. Maybe second or third best
The fact he’s skipping Regular Show this year makes his point moot about the Adult Swim CN hybrid shit. People were happy to watch more mature cartoons if they were good. Regular Show had minor cursing and everything. Hell I remember Adult Swim would always open up with an hour of King of the Hill or Futurama to ease people in. Either way it doesn’t matter because Tomorrow is another big one. Steven Universe is next
I might be alone in this nitpick, but I fucking hate his "witty, sarcastic" video title scheme he's adopted from other youtubers. Maybe it's the autistic archivist in me, but titles like that just do not give enough context for people who are looking for it years down the line. "What was the title of his marathon in 2025? What shows were a part of that review series?" It doesn't help that youtube's search algorithm is awful and if you don't type a title word for word it just feeds you nonsense entirely unrelated to what you wanted to find. So when I inevitably forget the stupid title he chose, I have to scroll through his channel manually to find it.
He would run out of space. YouTube's character limit for titles is 100.
Including quotations, my example is 79 Characters. He could undoubtedly format his titles like that and not hit the limit even with his snarky headline.
You're right, he could format them like that. Maybe he's formatting the CN Reel video titles to not reflect being part of a series so new viewers would click on it thinking it's a video essay, something a lot more high effort than these videos actually are.
It is getting pretty annoying. Seriously, how many times has he titled a video the “worst show/movie/episode ever”?
Which is just another trend that I hate. Video essays were moderately interesting when they first became a thing, but everything actually worth writing about has already been discussed. So now, youtubers are grasping at straws using le heckin' reddit language to make incredibly boring shit sound way more dramatic than it is.
There’s one part of this review that really stuck out to me. He talks about how he knows the Steven Universe crew can do better than what they did. Like it was a loss of potential. That’s 100% the opposite of reality. Rebecca sugar and company got every single break from the network in terms of freedom and content. This is the best they can do which is mediocrity at best and a sign of things to come at worst. They could’ve done a hell of a lot worse and they would go on to do worse later. But this is the peak of what this show could’ve been with the crew it had around it because they are fundamentally boring storytellers and broken people.
It's just the meta for how to title videos these days, I don't like it, and it doesn't really seem to work for him. I think he would make way more money if he made it all one six-hour long video and added a tier list, because thing ranked is all the rage.
This is what he should've done since the beginning, as 12-hour long TL;DW video essays are all the rage with youtubers now that get good views and money given how many midroll ads a channel can cram them. Splitting this shit into multiple parts is not the META anymore, as each new video will be met with diminishing returns and people don't want to go back to a previous video in order to catch up with the second part of it (for the most part).
