Escola em Casa (As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa)

Escola em Casa (lit. School at House) is the seventh episode of the fifth season of As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, originally premiered in 2020. The episode focuses on Gui starting to study at home together with his neighbor Nerdson.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The episode is supposed to show a good moral showing that studying at school is better than studying at home, but the idea is executed in a bad way, mainly because Gui only gives up studying at home because he was being forced to study with Nerdson and his family.
 * 2) * Not to mention, but it looks like it was trying to cash into this horrible online schools that came a while after this episode aired.
 * 3) Piti appears dumber than usual at the beginning of the episode since he is happy to have received a low grade in the school exam. Even though the character's full name is Pitiburro (a pun with pitbull, which is the character's dog breed, with the word "burro" that is a slang to dumb in Brazilian Portuguese) the character was never really dumb in any of the previous seasons.
 * 4) This episode brings back the infamous character mh:loathsomecharacters:Nerdson, that had his first appearance in a terrible episode of the third season.
 * 5) The episode also has a continuity error, as in this episode it is revealed that Nerdson studies in his own home with his mother instead of going to school, however in Nerdson's debut episode he manipulates Gui to help him become popular at the high school fantasy party.
 * 6) The class Gui receives from Nerdson’s mother doesn’t make any sense, since she decides to pass him a math test (although this is the first day and Gui didn’t even study for that exam) and Nerdson claiming that Gui will study quantum physics, ignoring that Gui is too young to study it.
 * 7) Nerdson is really unlikeable in this episode, mainly because he 'often uses cymbals to wake up Gui.'
 * 8) This episode features not only Nerdson's mother but also his sister, the latter appearing only as a unnecessary filler in the plot, being portrayed as an ugly and annoying little girl.
 * 9) The recess scene where Gui goes to play soccer felt unnecessary, since it shows only Gui and Nerdson's mothers choosing their children to play alongside them and... 'The scene is skipped for show Gui having lunch with Nerdson.'

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The ending seems decent, despite the mean-spirited joke in which Professor Jararaca gives negative point to Gui after he kisses her.
