Numberjacks

Mom come pick me up I'm scared. At least is birthed some memes like Beanos and You Simply Have Less Value. Even as a little kid I think I would've been scared of these numbers... I think they're numbers. Maybe they're Eldritch Horrors that roam with the Outer Gods.

I dunno what the hell is going on with The Trouble With Nothing! This episode is just... weird. Zero disappears, starts making things vanish, and then there's this moment where he's spinning around, screaming. I honestly didn't know if I was watching an episode of The Trouble With Nothing or something from a fever dream. And then, Six has to chase after him to catch him, which just adds more chaos to the already wild situation. I thought the episode would be completely random, but somehow it wasn't as bad as I expected.

Yes, I did enjoy the Miku noises (don't judge me), but they were referenced way too many times. The whole episode had this strange, dark comedy vibe, especially with the weird world of Melon. But that 4th Miku noise? Ugh, it reminded me of goddamn Miku doing opera, and I really didn't like it. By the end of 2024, I found it more annoying than anything.

And now, as I think about it, I can't help but remember the trauma of Numberjacks, which aired when I was little. Spooky Spoon terrified me every single time. WHY, BBC, WHY did you have to make her so creepy? I'd be happily watching the Numberjacks solving math problems, and then out of nowhere, Spooky Spoon would appear with that jump-scare moment that was guaranteed to freak me out. Seriously, the sudden, loud "BAM!" sound and her eerie presence kept me hiding behind the couch. It's funny now, but back then? Pure terror.

But then there was Shape Japer. Okay, so, after some confusion, I have to apologize-Shape Japer is female, not male (oops!). Honestly, though, she never terrified me at all. I know some people were freaked out by her weird, shifting shapes, but I honestly just thought she was kind of... silly? Maybe I was just too desensitized by the horror that was Spooky Spoon, but I could never take Shape Japer seriously. She didn't give me the chills that Spooky Spoon did.

Anyway, back to The Trouble With Nothing. It's still a weird ride, with plenty of chaotic moments, but it's not as bad as I expected. The randomness, the Miku references, and the wild spin with Zero were all a bit much at first, but it ended up being oddly entertaining. If you enjoy random, surreal humor (and don't mind a few Miku noises), this episode is worth checking out. But Spooky Spoon-I'll never forget you. You'll forever haunt my childhood.

Number Jacks is the best thing in the entire universe. Don't listen to the other reviews they were payed by the makers of Yo Gabba Gabba to make fun of Numberjacks. It teaches you everything you will ever need to know and if you hate this show you must be possessed by demons to hate such a godly creation. The intense plot and character development makes this comparable to the Lord of the Rings. There are many epic and original villains that really make the plot even better. This is a very old franchise but still holds up to this day. The music is astounding and is better than most music today. One of the best parts about numberjacks is that its educational. I would recommend not going to college and replacing it with numberjacks because you learn more and save money at the same time.

Numberjacks is a great program to use to help children learn basic math concepts. Each topic is discussed thoroughly, in simple language and with enough repetition that a small child will easily understand and come away from the episode having learned something.

The animation holds up surprisingly well, though some character design choices can be a bit creepy for those who aren't used to them.

The characters all have unique personalities, and they go through changes as the series progresses. It was very satisfying to me, as a child, watching Three grow up and be able to complete missions on her own.

Parents will also enjoy the witty writing and good humour. I recommend this show speficially to parents with children aged three to seven.

Loved this show as a kid. Always helped me with math and stuff like that. But the reason I came here is to notice 3 and 4's friendship ain't really friendly. Also the puzzler and numbertaker be lookin hella fresh :O
