Blog:The Cool Adventures of Chocodile (SPOOF)

See here for more. Thanks, Wage!

The Johnsonverse was created by BNSF1995.

The Cool Adventures of Chocodile is an American television series that ran from 1984 to 1987 on WBC. It is based on the Ludicrous Limericks series of theatrical shorts.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) First off, it completely sucks away the charm of the Ludicrous Limericks shorts.
 * 2) Nearly every single one of the new characters is annoying, especially Vanillagator and Caracaiman.
 * 3) * In particular, Cashew and Son of Cashew are two annoying leprechauns who continually scream in digitally pitched-up voices.
 * 4) Shoddy and somewhat horrific costume work. The only costume that looks good is Tora's, and even then, it was bought from a costume shop.
 * 5) Most of the characters are flanderized beyond belief:
 * 6) * Chocodile himself is changed from a fun-loving character who spreads joy to the kids to a grump who wants to outright kill Vanillagator and Caracaiman.
 * 7) * June is changed from a friend of Chocodile to a disgusting, savage predator who helps her father attempt to kill Chocodile.
 * 8) * Bud is changed from June's best friend who has a crush on her to a "cool", cocky, rebellious teen who admits he's "too cool for love".
 * 9) * Darrell is changed from a happy-go-lucky and friendly comic relief to a pathetic wash-up who is against Chocodile.
 * 10) Horrible acting for most of the human cast.
 * 11) The opening theme attempts to be "cool", with lots of 1980s slang, but fails miserably.
 * 12) Horrible production values. Then-Johnson CEO Phil Stacker gave this series a $10,000 budget, which explains it.
 * 13) Poor morals in a lot of episodes.
 * 14) Overuse of toilet humor. Most notably, in one episode, Vanillagator farts during a funeral scene, which is supposed to be a sad moment. In another episode, a death scene happens while the characters are on helium, making their voices high-pitched.
 * 15) At times, the series is way too biased towards the Democratic Party.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Mel Blanc and Erik Estrada's acting are well-done.
 * 2) * This was also the voice acting debut for Tom Kenny.
 * 3) Chocodile, Cherridile, Solomon, and Larry are still likable. Likewise, Officer Mondo is the only likable new character, to the point of being introduced into Ludicrous Limericks in 1988.
 * 4) Reintroduced Darrell and Dorothy Dog (who had been virtually retired by 1984) into Ludicrous Limericks.

Reception
Upon release, the series was universally panned and is considered one of the worst Johnson series of all time. Despite this, it has gained a cult following in recent years for its "so bad it's good" status.
