Bread Barbershop

I literally put this on to pass the time as background sound and fell in love with it. The characters are well animated and so cute. Reminds me of SpongeBob but it has its own appeal. Love Mr Wilk, he's adorable and so confused. I fully recommend for adults and kids. Too cute.

In my insatiable hunger for Asian children's cartoons, I've come across yet another "SpongeBob SquarePants"-esque food one (the others are "Simple Samosa" from India and "Crazy Candies" from China). And I don't need to watch the whole first season to know that "Bread Barbershop" is weird - even compared to "Crazy Candies", a potentially lawsuit-inducing knockoff of "SpongeBob SquarePants"!

The show is about a slice of bread named Bread Pitt - and, by the way, that's canon AND his name in the original Korean version - who runs a "barbershop" where he gives foods decorative makeovers with help from his snarky cupcake cashier Choco and enthusiastic assistant milk carton Wilk White. They also have a sausage dog mascot named... wait for it... Sausage.

So, positives. I like how the show gets a lot of mileage out of a simple concept. A good comedy should have a lot of potential, and this one wastes no effort in story ideas, ranging from customers needing makeovers to shenanigans outside the barber place, all while having food themes it works off.

As for negatives, the characters can be mean-spirited, the humor is not that good and often relies on lame food puns, and a number of plotlines and jokes seem like they'd be inappropriate a show rated TV-Y (ages 2 through 6) in the United States. There's an episode where they attempt an exorcism on Wilk, deciding he's possessed. Apparently exorcisms are appropriate for preschoolers, everyone. Its worldbuilding is also confusing; why are none of the foods who are interested in getting put on display on a display shelf aware that they may be eaten, yet Wilk eats the crust off a client with no problem? And why is Wilk's misspelled label a biological thing?

"Bread Barbershop" is best suited to older children (about aged 9 and up), but its sense of humor and worldbuilding make it extremely obvious that it's not meant to be taken seriously. Just don't have high expectations for it, and just treat it as fun, but mindless. Mark my words; "Bread Barbershop" is a meme waiting to happen.

Apologies if my English is not terrible; I actually care about my capitalization, spelling, and grammar.

This one's soooo good! I started watching it with my kids who are 9 and 12. They were hooked and so was I. I loved the fun stories, life lessons, adorable sweet characters and the brilliant wise sayings! Everything was well thought out and so creative! South Korea has done it again after Larva. I can watch them over and over again.

I was looking for something to show my little guy because I'm tired of repeatedly watching the same thing over and over again with him. He chose Bread Barbershop based in the thumbnail picture Amazon Kids provided.

Now here we are, only a few minutes into episode 1, and it's awful. They've already started whining and acting up, made fun of someone's looks, called somebody stupid, and offered up some seggsual innuendo.

There is no point of showing this to any child, or any person frankly...but definitely not a toddler. (Yes, I read the suggested age rating. No, I don't really pay those any mind for more reasons than I care to go into here.) To be completely transparent, the show has definitely got his attention...but there's too much subcontext and not enough substance. We'll be taking a hard pass on this show from here on out.

I love non-sense and mindless shoes but this one takes the cake. It has a good story to follow and it's not too much of a commitment but if you're looking for a show to commit to, why are you looking at a piece of bread that cuts hair? This show is like sausage party and spongebob had a baby (without all the inappropriateness and what not). It's very entertaining and family friendly. Couldn't recommend more.
