Hi guys. This is going to be a review of another Canadian cartoon called "Scaredy Squirrel." This show is about a squirrel named Scaredy who along with his skunk friend "Dave." Go on adventures while Scaredy works as a stacker in a supermarket. Unlike with "Almost Naked Animals" before, I've watched this in my youth. When rewatching some episodes for this review. I can safely say. That this cartoon is pretty bad, and hasn't aged well. I can also understand how people see this as a bad Spongebob ripoff.
Let's start off with the animation. Its standard bad flash animation, like with that other Canadian cartoon before. But at least it doesn't get as gross. Now lets go on to the writing. The stories are boring, unoriginal, or ripoff other stories from other cartoons. Like Scaredy meeting his hero in the episode, "Awaken the Stacker Within." But he turns out to be a fraud. Or when Scaredy gets replaced by a robot. Who turns out to be evil, in the episode "Stackinator." Most of the jokes are obnoxious. They mostly involve screaming, overused grossout jokes. Like with the Frog character burping. Or are not funny. But I did laugh a couple of times. Mostly from the bird character, Nestor. Who I'm going to talk about in my character section. The theme song is one of the worst in any cartoon. It mostly consist of Scaredy screaming everywhere.
Lets look at the characters. They are some likable characters in this show. Mainly Scaredy, and Nestor. Scaredy our main character, may at first seem like a Spongebob ripoff. From he's obsessed with stacking in a supermarket. Like how Spongebob is obsessed with cooking Krabby Patties. But he can also think things through, and act as a straight man to Dave, and the rest of his character.
Dave the skunk on the other hand. Is just a Patrick ripoff who causes Scaredy more trouble. Nestor the bird manager may seem like a Squidward ripoff. But I do feel bad for him from his mom. Who is an even bigger jerk. He probably has the funniest scenes out of all characters in the show. The rest of the characters are either just plain idiots, or jerks. Like Dave, and Nestor's mom from earlier. Sally, who has a creepy crush with Scaredy, Paddy the ferret who bullies Scaredy, and the townsfolk, who cause trouble, and can also be meanspirited to Scaredy.
So to summarize this is another bad Canadian cartoon. With bad flash animation. Unoriginal stories. Obnoxious jokes and theme song. Mainly idiotic, and meanspirited characters. But they are some positives like with some jokes being funny. As well as some likable characters like Scaredy, and Nestor. Is this a Spongebob ripoff. Kind of. It depends. While this cartoon is bad. Its better than "Almost Naked Animals. But that is not saying much. So overall I will give this a 3/10.
