I have to agree, that's one of the reason I don't like shows like Fanboy & Chum-Chum. It's all Toilet Humor and nothing else; on its own, only children will really find it funny -- as people get older (or more mature), they tend to find it more and more unfunny and tasteless. The gag can work if it's used very sparingly and is somewhat original. But when its (ab)used almost every minute (or it using stock gags everyone has seen thousands of times already) it can quickly get tiring. It's like the whole issue with 'Family Guy' all over again, trying to take gags that are only funny for like 2 minutes and string it along an entire episode; cheap and uninspiring.
That's why I'm gonna on a limb and say that's the main reason the Ren & Stimpy 'revival' flopped; Take away that Toilet Humor and you get a show with absolutely no substance. |
