I'm not really a fan of goofy humour anyway, but the goofiness in Kyoryuger was worse for me because they crammed in juvenile gags whether it actually made any sense or worked in the context or not. And that to me is the worst way to do comedy.

I think Ovirappo is massively exaggerated. It was in one episode. Every other time it was used, it was used as a smoke screen.

Yeah, it was pretty juvenile and I could understand if it was a recurring gag, but it wasn't.

But it wasn't just that one gag. You had the bendy sword, the bubblegum blow up, the tickle one the fall in love one. Etc Etc. And I stopped watching at like episode 12, I dread to think what other terrible attempts at humour come out of the woodwork over the series.

I'm not really sure what was so horrible about the blowing up one? Maybe its because I've played Donkey Kong 64 and Super Mario 64 DS to death, but that didn't come across as particularly juvenile. I thought using Nossan as a ball to battle the meteor volleyball attack was kinda funny...

The bendy sword and tickle were meh too, I agree, but they're also not really recurring gags, so I can forgive.

Maybe they weren't recurring but out of the twelve episodes I watched, half of them ended on anti-climactic and stupid gags. That is problematic.

I recall it being in about 3 episodes. And even when they use it as tear gas or a smoke screen later, it still has that damn sound effect... *shudder*

Just because something works in a video game does not mean it translates into live action.

I didn't mean it in that way, obviously, just that I don't think it was particularly juvenile, it seemed a pretty standard visual gag and I thought it worked well and, as I said, I actually found the counter to the meteor volleyball to be pretty funny. Blowing up as a balloon and floating is basically the exact same visual gag, whether its in a comic, video-game, cartoon or live action.

True, but for better or worse, that's pretty much how Kyroyuger is for the rest of the series. However, there at least isn't a repeat of how stupidly anti-climatic the disease villain who took over Ankydon's defeat was.

Oh God yeah that disease Deboss. The way he appeared in a dramatic cliffhanger...only to be defeated in a gag the next episode. What a pile of shit.

He sucked back then, but when the Zetsumates have their reunion later on, Viruson actually does pretty good.
