Nickelodeon's Breadwinners's "Love Loaf" is even creepier than I thought.

It's the same old. Another blog from me bitching about Nickelodeon's Breadwinners, a show worse than Sanjay & Craig, Fanboy & Chum Chum, and current Spongebob.

 

Last year, I went on a tirade about why that show is so terrible. The animation and characters are just terrible. The humor and stories are even worse, relying a lot on butts (including twerking) and stereotypes. It's honestly baffling that Breadwinners has any support and remains on the air.

 

In my rant last year, I ranted about Love Loaf:

As they mine for bread, they find a love loaf that nearly killed them. The love loaf will make the consumer fall in love with the first person in sight. SwaySway, who's head over heels for a stock-imaged duck named Jenny Quackles, wants to have her eat the bread so she can fall in love with him, have plenty of ducks and live together for life. But Jenny's in a girl's only summer camp, so they infiltrate in disguise. Near the end, they get caught by camp counselors and kicked out, but Sway won't leave until Jenny eats the love loaf. (Yeah, that ain't creepy. dry.png )

 

That night, they invade who they think is Quackles's cabin (and the door tile #6 flips to #9 as they slam it [yeah, a 69 reference]). Sway sings a disturbing song to the sleeping "duck"…who turns out to be the three camp counselors that confronted them earlier. The officials eat the bread and fall in love with the two ducks. They kiss them to the point of getting smashed into a wall, brawl, hold the ducks against their will, and then lick them. The ducks run away with only their underwear and leave the camp.

 

Yes, this episode — in a cartoon "suitable" for kids five and up — USES A FUCKING LAZY RAPE JOKE!!

 

But lately, I thought about Love Loaf, and it hit me. This episode is even creepier than I thought.

 

SwaySway is in love with Jenny Quackles. He finds a love loaf that will make any duck fall in love with the first thing he or she sees. This gives SwaySway (who's a good guy) the idea he could force Jenny to eat a part of the loaf, marry her, and have ducklings.

 

Yeah, there's a term for this. It's called rape. And it wasn't subtle, either. It was stated without actually stating the word.

 

It can't get any creepier, right? Yeah, it can.

 

From my plot summary:

But Jenny's in a girl's only summer camp, so they infiltrate in disguise.

Jenny is in summer camp and isn't a camp counselor. She's just as much a kid as the other girls in the camp.

 

Yeah, "kid." Jenny is an underage duck!!!

 

SwaySway — an adult duck — is in love with a minor. With the love loaf in his hands, he hopes this underage duck eats the loaf so she falls in love with him. That way, he can marry her, molest her, and start a family with her as his wife and caregiver.

 

Not only is this "episode" terrible on a technical level. It's morally SICK!!!! The entire plot being a molestation joke is disgusting enough. What makes this more repulsive is the fact that this joke is written for a show rated TV-Y7. Yeah, a cartoon that's supposed to be suitable for kids.

 

Seriously, who would want to write something that's so DISRESPECTFUL to EVERY victim/survivor of rape and child molestation?! Y7 rating or not, you DON'T write these jokes. EVER! They're disgusting, and those writers should feel awful for coming up with something as demented as a humor-based plot based on this topic.

 

Why the FUCK is this abomination of a show even on the air, anyway? Because Nickelodeon doesn't get kids, believes parents will let their kids watch whatever is plastered on the screen regardless of parental quality control, and doesn't give a crap about quality! That's why! I mean, Nick got away extremely gross closeups of Spongebob's face, a closeup of Spongebob's infected thumb in The Splinter, and a whole episode dedicated to driving Plankton to attempt suicide (using realistic approaches, I might add) as a joke. A whole show centered on disgusting fart jokes like Sanjay and Craig is gross enough, but at least the jokes are merely stupid.

 

Breadwinners is a show based off "ducks" that embrace and say "Racist stereotypes, twerking, obnoxious protagonists, useless butt jokes, and child molestation jokes are a-okay for your kids!" Breadwinners doesn't deserve to exist, doesn't deserve the high ratings, doesn't deserve to be renewed for a second season, and should be pulled off the air and burned for good.

 

Now, excuse me while I throw up…

Ouch, now that is just sad. I always knew that Love Loaf was horrible, but to see it get green-lit for airing despite the unfortunate implications shows that Nickelodeon is now money-hungry.

 

Rape jokes aren't funny, but if this episode were better, they would at least make the "jokes" subtle, or just go for cheap romance jokes instead. Neither are good, but it would at least make the viewing experience tolerable.

 

But to be honest, Sanjay and Craig's "Fart Baby" gives me more nightmares. Mostly because I'm squeamish around pregnancy, and to a lesser extent babies, but I digress.

Breadwinner isn't even a show in my opinion..... It's poorly animated (and I use the term animated extremely lightly), the stories could have been written better by 2 year olds, and one of the ducks is an over sized pea.....
