Wow, I know I speak for everyone here when I say 'This show sucks'


WTF is this show supposed to be about? I watched the 1st episode and almost puked from boredom. And wtf is this mexican crape, I'm not mexican and Im sure that half the people who watch Nick are not mexican. I don't want to see a show where they scream out random phrases in mexican and make so that i cant understand a thing. And wtf is the piece of *beep* animation? It sucks! The animation is so "rough" and "glitchy". Basically this show has been a failure from the beginning. Nick totally screwed up when they brought in "Naked brothers band, el tigre, danny phantom, the x's, and unfabulous". OMG this show is worst ever.

Don't look at me when I'm talking to you!

The stuff the heroes shout out are their names.
EEEELL TIGREEEE!!
WHIIIIIIIIIIIITE PANTERAAAAAA!!!
PUMA LOCOOO!!

In the 1960's and 70's there cartoons about super heroes whose names are their battle cries.
BIIIIIIIIRRRRRD MAAN! (Birdman)
CAPTAIN CAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAN! (Captain Caveman)
MIGHTY MIGHTY MIGHT MIGHTY MAAAAN! (Mighty Man from "The Might Man and Yuck Show")
Duck Dodgers of the 24th Century!

You get my picture!
And I saw six episodes, and in the end it is not a bad show.

Now if you want terrible and obscene there is MTV2's "Wodnershowzen".

OMG back to you, I saw just one episode of this show and laughed so much, it is so fun! Some random humor, like in Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents, but at the same time something meaningful, that is great! It reminds me a lot of the Powerpuff Girls as well.

And wtf is this mexican crape, I'm not mexican and Im sure that half the people who watch Nick are not mexican.

1) The show is about a boy who is Mexican. HELLO??
2) A lot of people in the US are Mexican or Hispanic. They would make up an important part, if not half, of Nick viewers.
3) As another poster said, "Mexican" isn't a language. You'll notice that there are some Spanish phrases in the dialogue, but this isn't just for the Spanish-speaking audience. Like in WTTW's Maya and Miguel, hearing the Spanish and being able to figure it out from what's happening in the cartoon is really cool. It's more educational in Maya and Miguel and here it's just a lot of fun, to add that flavor to the show.

The animation is so "rough" and "glitchy".

I don't think the animation is bad, it's just about as good as the other shows on Nick, but you can disagree, and I would have to see the show again to really be able to say.

Wow. I don't know where to start, buddy. First off, do you HAVE a life? Okay, I understand going to chat rooms about shows you LIKE, but you decide to waste your time saying things no one else cares about about a show you don't even LIKE? Wow, you must be really bored. And I apologize that the animation is so "rough" and "glitchy," but in case you haven't noticed, most modern American children's shows are animated in a similar style.
And the whole Mexican stuff....can we say "racist"? (This isn't just directed towards you, by the way.) What, we're not allowed to have shows about Mexican people these days? Are we so biased and closed-minded? And from what I've heard, the only real phrases that they say in Spanish are "mi iho" and the names of people. All the other words are ones that are also used in modern English (like pinata). And if you can't figure out that "mi iho" means "my son," you got some problems. Oh, and by the way, you do realize that you need units in foreign languages to get to college, right? So let's all hope and pray that your school doesn't require Spanish, seeing as you don't even know that the language isn't called "Mexican."
Just so you know:
Mi iho: my son
El Tigre: The Tiger
Puma Loco: Crazy Puma
White Pantera: White Panther
Pinata: Something made of cardboard that you break to get stuff out of
Guacamole, churros, chipotle, and tacos: foods
And this is all coming from a girl that hasn't taken a single Spanish class in her life.
And here's a little hint: If ya don't like the freaking show, don't watch it! Save us all some pain!
“Seriously, go back to your little redneck town.”
Amen to that!

And don't say you know you're speaking for everyone when you're not at all. I laugh at this show every time I watch it.

I agree. Nickelodeon sucks for bringing in crap like this. This show, along with many others that have poisoned Nickelodeon, needs to die.

Set me free. Release me from his grasp!

THE SHOW IS GREAT!!! everything about it is great and you're not just ignorant and an idiot you're the worst kind of person the kind of person that takes innocent childrens stuff and trashes it because someone is trying to reach out to young children to show them they're not alone that world isn't just about a bunch of white boys and girls being suburban driving their cars and having little brown foreign maids... you jerk

Haha. Its obivous to me that you are a 40 year old who has nothing better to do than be rascist and post comments on children's show thread.
