Throw The Hog In The Ring - worst episode ever!


I rarely at all am bored during a Timon & Pumbaa episode. Some I like more, some I like less.
But this episode just SUCKED. The storyline is the worst this show has ever had. It's just *beep* STUPID. Stupid, stupid, stupid. The jokes are mostly pretty much the same, which is Pumbaa beating everyone down with his bad breath. It also has a pretty awful ending. I chuckled at Timon acting like Pumbaa's boxing instructor, but aside from that there was nothing to like.

I have so many questions…

Like why is there an agent right there to give Pumbaa a card? Why does he want him as a wrestler? He didn’t do anything except have a wrestler fall on him. Why does he have “bug” dogs?

Why doesn’t Timon let Pumbaa eat them? Shouldn’t Pumbaa at least be keeping up his weight? Why is he starving him?

I’m sorry..,Pumbaa Smith? Where did that come from?

Wait…I thought Timon wasn’t feeding Pumbaa so how can he have bad breath from those bug dogs? And he becomes champion from just that one match?

Since when is bad breath enough to stop wrestlers in their tracks? And not one of them have managed to make physical contact with Pumbaa or strategize how to to get around his bad breath? People are still coming to these matches? Wouldn’t the smell be too awful for them to bear as well (I mean come on, he even burps in their direction at some point).

It’s not until the final match when a challenger wears a gas mask? Not that they’d really need one because the others totally could have trounced Pumbaa before.

Yeah, I agree with you. Not a good episode.
