Disney's attempt at creating a show as big as Spongebob


This show is trying to be like Spongebob so that everyone will love it and it will become really huge and important like Spongebob. Obviously it's not working

It's not based on SpongeBob. It has a few of SpongeBob's elements (live action photography mixed with animation for joke/gag shots), but, other than that, it rips off NOTHING from SpongeBob.

You're right. The occasional mix of live-action sequences is the only thing that it has in common with SpongeBob SquarePants. Brandy & Mr. Whiskers is much wilder than SpongeBob. It has kind of a Tex Avery of the 1930's pace to it, while SpongeBob is more reminiscent of early-60's Bob Clampett.

"In Sweden Spongebob and Mr Whiskers have the same voice actor."

It's just the same thing in Norway. At least it was, because Spongebob has a new voice actor now. And the new voice is so horrible.

What I really meant when I wrote that is that Disney was tring to get hype over an animation show like Nick got a lot of hype over spongebob I mean the shows aren't alike it's just that one of the companies had a success while the other tried to get a success like Nick did.

Real girls don't have time to be perfect,so perfect girls have too much time on their hands.

You might at least want to start by spelling "Disgusting" right? First of, B&MR.W is... tasteless and repulsive at best. At least Spongebob gives a certain flair, reminiscent of Monty Python, to some of it's humour. Ad it certainly, and you can actually understand what the characters are saying. B&MR.W, the bloody opening sequence shows the rabbit shoving his feet up his nose, and you can't even understand what the rabbit says half the time. Yep, that's a real masterpiece.

I personally find Brandy & Mr. Whiskers to be quite an entertaining series and I consider it my second favorite television program of all time. I believe your points about not being able to understand Mr. Whiskers are invalid, as I’m half-deaf in my right ear and I’m still perfectly capable of interpreting his comments whenever they’re said on the series. I do agree with you that the gross humor was a bad characteristic of the series; though if you’ve ever given the series a chance and actually watched the second season, I’m sure you would notice that the gross humor was toned down quite a lot.

And you're a bigot. There was no need to bring his ethnicity into the conversation.

I don't think the show is ripped from SpongeBob. Otherwise, why would Tom Kenny sign on? Besides, even if some parts are reminiscent of Nick's smash, I still like this show tons better. It's more like The Angry Beavers to me. It has a mature character and a loony who are paired as the best of friends. Apart from the live-action element, the only references to SpongeBob are:

*When Ed acts as if he's being killed when Mr. Whiskers hadn't laid a finger on him.
*When Brandy becomes a lifeguard despite the fact she can't swim, and has to face her fear when Ed gets a cramp in the water.

Both involve the voice of SpongeBob himself, who would've spoken up if he thought it was unfair to Nick.

it's true

i like the humor of this cartoon
i find this cartoon's humor hilarious

and i am so sick of the fact that these idiots cancelled this cartoon

as a positive attempt to try to get fans to petition for it to come back
i went on to the "who framed roger rabbit" board
and wished if the voices of the brandy and mr whiskers characters would be signed up for a who framed roger rabbit sequel so the brandy and mr whiskers characters would appear with other toons aiding them
