Scaredy Squirrel

Before this show, I had $10,000 in debt for my various crimes against humanity. I was just about to commit my end. I decided to watch one more George Clooney classic. I poured my cup of gluten-free, non-trans fat, 100% organic Cyanide, sat down, and watched. After 2 minutes, my depression cleared, I lost 15,000 lbs, and got a smoking hot boyfriend named Phillip (I'm a homosexual by the way). I got completely engrossed with this 79 volume thriller from the brilliant minds of Studio Ghibli and the dashing George Clooney. My pee was no longer purple green. Scaredy woke up all my 89 year old sex organs and my Viagra is no longer necessary (though its always good for seeing things) I got the idea to show this to the judge who appointed me my debt. He loved it too, and to thank me, he took 10 cents off my debt and gave me 15 bus tokens (valid for 4 miles of less for free) Thank you, Scaredy. Thank you, George Clooney.

also I've started a go fund me to pay for passes to thank Clooney personally.

'Scaredy Squirrel' (2011-2013)

Opening thoughts: While there are far worse animated shows out there ('Johnny Test', 'Uncle Grandpa', 'Angela Anaconda', 'Breadwinners', 'Problem Solverz', 'Fanboy and Chum Chum', 'Chalkzone', 'The Cleveland Show' for examples), 'Scaredy Squirrel' still isn't good. As far as Nelvana's output goes, it is for me definitely in the lesser end and actually had a hard time believing that it came from them, with them being responsible for gems like 'The Magic School Bus', 'Babar', 'Redwall' and 'Rupert'. This could easily pass for past prime Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, and it would be understandable if anybody ever mistook it as one of theirs.

Good things: Oddly enough, there are good things with 'Scaredy Squirrel'. The voice acting is game with the voice actors doing all they can injecting some degree of energy into their very tired material. Did like the backgrounds, which does have some nice colour and detail.

Some of the music is quite cool. That is pretty much it with the redeeming qualities.

Bad things: Even as a child, the characters all bored and irritated me and not only are they still both those things they are even more so. The character interaction lacks wit and any kind of connection, with not much chemistry. Friendships don't feel like friendships and any antagonism lacks tension and is very predictable.

Furthermore, there is an over-reliance on the cruder style of humour in the writing and it all came over as juvenile and lacking in taste as well as mean spirited. The writing is also very generic and bland with no surprises, with it being too juvenile for older audiences and younger audiences will find that too much of it will go over their heads, so target audience is an issue. The generic blandness and repetition is present in the storylines which does nothing with a decent premise. Nothing original whatsoever. Despite some nice backgrounds, the animation is not to my tastes. The colours are flat and the character designs hideous.

Closing thoughts: All in all, weak.

3/10.

This show rips off spongebob so many times.I mean come on,can't you come up with more original ideas.Most of the plots are clichéd and so are the characters. Scaredy is a rip off of spongebob, dave is a rip off of patrick ,that yellow angry bird thing(lol,angry birds reference) is a rip off of squidward,that frog girl is basically your average crazy boy obsessed girl that we have seen in many other TV shows and all the other characters have no personality whatsoever.Still, despite what I have said,this show is not that bad.Like I've said before,the animation is decent,the voice acting is also decent,the humour is sometimes dry but sometimes decent and...........that's about it.So bottom line: scaredy squirrel is just one of many mediocre cartoons that I see on TV these days.But I'll give this show credit,it's not as bad as post-season 2 johnny test and ben 10 ultimate alien.

For some time, a number of users have been negatively comparing Scaredy Squirrel to some stupid limburger. I wonder, where's the logic in that? After seeing a few episodes I don't see any strong similarity.

I think the personalities of Scaredy and Dave is something I've seen in comedies called a double act. In other words, Scaredy is the straight man while Dave is the funny man. For more info about double act, there's an article on it in Wikipedia.

Scaredy is a squirrel who's easily frightened as his name implies. However, he's an expert in organizing and stacking things at a grocery. The limburger is just a quirky blockhead who overcooks pancakes at a bistro.

Dave seems a little dull but nowhere near as dumb as that red spur who is the limburger's best friend.

As for Nestor, I don't think he's based on some moldy sea spider. Nestor is a cynical grocery operator who make things difficult for the employees, particularly Scaredy. The moldy sea spider is just a snobbish dude who wants to be away from the limburger and spur who enjoy toying with him.

I don't know what people have in mind but the way they do their negative comparing is lame

After watching a few episodes online, I find the series (as I said in the title) cute and comical. Some haters say the show borrows a lot from Spongebob. Me, I don't think so. What aspects of this show are they looking at? In fact, I think what's in the series are things very common in most cartoon shows. It is common for characters to become hyperactive and extremely emotional on certain situations.

When I saw some stuff about the show on this website, I develop some curiosity as I'm a bit of a squirrel fan. The show centers on Scaredy Squirrel who goes on slapstick adventures with his best buddy Dave who is a skunk. Scaredy, as the name implies, is a squirrel who can easily be frightened, although he does show some daringness in a lot of cases. Besides daringness, he's also a great stacker and organizer in grocery items.
