Gaim's comedic moments (at least the over-the-top stuff with Bravo and Gridon) felt like they were just there to fill a quota from Toei rather than ingrained into the show like others. Still not good, but negligible given the rest of the content.

Yes, every Rider show is about "a man using evil powers to save lives and preserve justice and hope". My point is that for a lot of recent shows that gets drowned out in favor of excessive toy shilling and bad comedy. Fourze, Wizard, Drive, Ghost, all of them had the potential to do so much more with what they had, and they did have stuff to work with. Instead we get the adventures of Shunpei, SCU mental cases, and Onari and Akari's stupid science vs. supernatural bouts. Even making Donut Man Poitrine in Movie War Ultimatum instead of really doing a cool Avengers-esque crossover between Wizard, Fourze, Poitrine, Inazuman and Akumaizer-3 left me face-palming.
