    How did they have that "hat bumb" joke, and not escalate it to a whole line of troops like dominos? How did they not have an "anti joke" where the soldiers finally get it right and avoid bumping heads, just to them fuck up something else even more important? How did they not have one where one soldier fills his hat with something heavy, so the guy doing the bumping gets hurt instead?

      @TheUnsightlyRF 3 года назад +590

      Another way of improving it could have been to adapt the time-honored "switcheroo" gag, where after being subjected to the hat bump a few times, the guard tries to circumvent it happening again, say by switching around where they're standing only to have his hat bumped the other way when the other guard straightens back from the head-nod. This could then escalate into more convoluted means of avoiding getting his hat bumped, only for the attempts to go poorly for him.

    I think a funnier take on the Queen would be if she were more passive aggressive and still spoke in 'the Queen's English' like if she were completely charming to someone until she turned away and muttered to herself "one wishes you were not a complete and total bitch" because then you would have some build up before the punchline of "Queen says a swear word" plus passive aggressive humour just hits as more British to me personally.

      @@xenochris9713Sure. When writing a story or even a single scene, you have to have each point in the scene be connected otherwise it feels like a jumbled mess.
      So lets take this example: Two groups of people are meeting in a park with their animals. They get together and then their animals start fighting, therefore the groups are panicking , but one of them is ale to calm them down by using a whistle, therefore the fighting stops, and then another guy shows up and starts talking about a pet competition going on in the park, therefore the groups consider joining, but they don't know how to sign up, therefore the man explains, therefore they can sign up.
      Notice how that entire thing felt disconnected? You can easily split it into completely different sections that stand alone with no connection to the others. The groups meeting up, the animals fighting, and the guy talking about the competition. There's no connection between any single one of those points because the only connections are "and then this happened". When that is the case, its lousy writing because the audience feels the writer really wanted something new to happen without building up why it happened in the first place.
      Now lets redo that whole thing.
      Two groups are meeting in the park with their animals, but one of the people drops their sandwich on the ground, therefore a fight breaks out between the animals to get it and they run around the park, but one of the owners uses a dog whistle to calm them down, therefore the chase stops, but a man walks by saying he noticed the dogs running around the park doing tricks, therefore he offers them a place in the dog show, but the group isn't sure if they want to, therefore he mentions big prize money at the end, therefore they say they'll consider entering.
      The flowed better. Because every plot point in that scene had a connection to something that happened right before it. And it doesn't have to be immediate connections. It could be a connection set up three plot points ago someone later acknowledges, like the man noticing the animals doing tricks during the chase three plot points earlier.

But nothing works, all building up to a murder mystery episode where the guy who gets his head bumped murders the other guy or maybe the other way around. The point is you can do a lot with this.

    Aside from the art being disgusting, it's just so obnoxiously disjointed. Why are half of the faces bizarre caricatures, while the other half are completely uninteresting? It's not like there's even a pattern to this, Prince Charles looking like a ghoul was a common enough joke that it makes sense on its own, but why does Prince William look like a boardwalk caricature? Why is the queen's face basically normal? I would honestly be fine with the disgusting caricatures if there was a pattern. If all the royals looked like caricatures, since y'know, they're inbred, while everyone else had normal faces, that would be kind of clever and a decent enough setup for humor. Instead there's just a few totally random characters with hideous faces, while everyone else has a normal face that's just done in a bad art style.

Person a was born in a poor family - they won't get higher education simply because they were unlucky. Doesn't matter how brilliant their mind is, doesn't matter how much good they would bring to this world. Person b was born in a rich family - they'll achieve success no matter how pitful they are. Mummy and daddy's money will cover all losses
      I know it's shocking but we can recognize that this system is wrong. It's not class envy when you see again and again rich people getting away with pedophilia when the poor are being thrown into prisons for the things they can't even control

      for real, a lot modern children cartoons have so good writing and visual storytelling that they genuinely appeal to adult audiences as well. Crap like this on the other hand doesn’t even try to be art on any existential level. It doesn’t tell a story, it’s not pretty, and
      fails miserably at the one thing it tries to do, being funny. I can name half a dozen children’s cartoons from the top of my head who do all that successfully and are appealing to adults as well as genuinely valuable for children.

    Might I also add that this show is EXTREMELY unpleasant to look at? There is literally no cohesion whatsoever to the visual design of the characters. The shapes, the coloration, even the line work of each character all look different. It's not just that the show has an unpleasant design. I consider the weird long upper lip the Simpson's characters have to be unpleasant. But at least all the Simpson's characters have some variation of that same design. Contrast that to this show, where everybody's mouth is shaped completely differently. Princess Charlotte's mouth has a more front-facing design, but Queen Elizabeth's mouth hangs off to the side. I don't like how the Simpson's characters have pure yellow skin either. But at least they ALL have yellow skin, so my eyes can get used to it. Prince Charles has the entire spectrum of the color red on his face, while Prince George has only one shade of pasty white. A lot of adult animations have designs that are either lazy or ugly, but this one's is both unbelievably sloppy and downright revolting at the same time. Even if it were made like this intentionally, it doesn't matter. Actually, that would make this even worse as a creative decision. This design doesn't make me want to laugh, it makes me want to vomit. Given that the writers couldn't tell the difference between gross-out humor and just grossness, I wouldn't be surprised if the art team had a similar predicament.

      In a lot of movies/shows, what they try to do is make the main character appear as 'human.' They'll be the most pleasant to look at, the most relatable. While other characters will be more exaggerated. (For instance, Hotel Transylvania, Mavis is the most human like, while Count Dracula is thin and exaggerated.) This is to help create a bond between the main character and the audience.
      I can see where they came from from that perspective, but damn, they failed hard.

      Also, if SNL already did it (FKING ELEVEN YEARS AGO) maybe you need to add something to the joke to justify its existence. But it actually seems like they detracted from it.
      In the SNL sketch, at first you see the queen and she's all nice and polite, and then when they're left alone, she reveals her true, cockney nature.
      From this video at least it seems like The Prince skipped all that, and just had her rude and abrasive all of the time, so there's no contrast even.

The joke is that most of these sorts of animated adult "comedies" are written by conservatives, so when the subject of Demi Lovado being nonbinary comes up, we, the audience, are expecting something offensive or transphobic. But it never happens, Prince George is totally nonchalant about the whole thing, and I guess that does count as a subversion of expectations, but just barely, and if I'm being honest, even that seems like a reach. I don't really have any other explanation for this, though, so that's the best I can come up with.

The way they're standing, they're supposed to be next to each other, and when they bow their heads, they're supposed to be bowing forward. If it weren't an animated show, with the characters drawn at a side angle, the one guy would have to lean his head TO THE SIDE in order to bump the other guy, and thus wouldn't be able to "accidentally" bump him.

The audience knows whodunit, so it would be the dramatic irony of all the main charaters accusing one another that would make it funny/tense.

They even roped Phil Collins into one of their schemes, getting him to make a promo for a fictional pedophilia awareness group called Nonce Sense. Later on the guys behind it, mainly the duo of Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris, went on to make shows like The Thick of It and Veep, which are some of the few pieces of explicitly political comedy that have managed to stay funny after their zeitgeist has passed.

Or try to avoid bumping hats and to it anyway in a parody of that little dance people do when trying not to run into each other... but with hats. Culminating in true absurdity, like a strong wind blows one's hat off, across the doorway, into the other guys.

      You're not gonna get the money from the teens and adults who still watch kids cartoons. It's rare that they succeed even tho some have. Plus the current creators are more interested in telling a story they've always wanted to see done before. Emphasis on STORY. They use the 'kids' title as an excuse to show that story. The fandom has people from every age group so it needs to be liked by everyone and as said before not all age groups like those stuff.
      And or just to entertain really really young kids. That stuff needs to be extremely family friendly but also calming or educational. Parents would explode otherwise. Ofcourse this ones can have gross jokes like puking or farting but they can't go as far as some adult cartoons.

      You have child, a fairly standard adult animated styled kid, except with a larger than normal head.
      You have women, and I say women because _all of them are goddamn bobble-headed Bratz dolls._ They are nearly the exact same proportions as the child but _stretched_ upwards, not scaled, stretched. Their ears extend to the ends of their shoulders, and its _way too fucking big for their dainty necks._
      Then lastly you have tallheads, Prince William and Prince Henry are both examples, people with extremely tall and thin heads, and tiny eyes.
      *_None_* of these are styles fit together. Its not comprised in a way that gives everyone a unique art style either, theres clearly similarities between _some_ characters, but with no pattern. Its an inconsistent style that makes characters look very out of place in diverse shots.

      @@d3rrick10493 What is so funny about being forced into slavery from birth? I really want to know. Because that's what they are. They don't have the same rights as us British citizens. They have less. They are forced into a position due to the bloodline. And how our government works. They can't vote. They can't give a political opinion. They are forced to be ambassadors for our country and forced to be icons of culture for us Brits. As a British person, I want to know the joke.

    What needs to happen is that they make another one of these shows, with obvious Rick and Morty art inspiration, lazy humor, the works. But by the end of the 2nd episode, things start to derail, and the genre shifts. Horror, existential drama, anything.
