1.5/10 Alright, the 2024 Cody and Timmy re-reviews are done... now I think it's time to discuss the other problematic couple of this year.
Pros:
Bully and Brooklyn Guy were decent.
The AI Cody video was admittedly a bit funny.
Neutral:
I'm definitely mixed on Cody in the video, I think he was decent for the most part but him almost ratting the 3 of them out because of his Elmo impression at the end was definitely really frustrating.
Cons:
The plot is honestly a bit fucked up in retrospect, Junior literally kidnapping Penelope and manipulating her into thinking it's someone else just so Junior can get her to love him again is uh... not good.
Junior was abysmal here, all of his actions here legit felt sociopathic, I get Junior isn't the nicest person ever but he took shit way too far here.
Joseph was mediocre as well, he obviously wasn't quite as bad as Junior but he still kind of annoyed me here.
The entire segment with everyone interrupting Cody was absolutely fucking horrendous. It dragged on for like 2 whole minutes and everyone interrupting Cody as well as Cody's pettiness was so frustrating to watch. These scenes are some of the draggiest modern SML can get and that's saying something.
The scenes with Brooklyn Guy over at the house were super draggy and boring.
The ending with Junior actually winning Penelope back was pretty unsatisfying tbh, I wanted them to stay broken up so badly.
Overall, this video was pretty shit tbh, Junior was so bad here and the way he got Penelope back was awful. And ffs why couldn't Logan just keep them broken up? Now we have all these other shitty Junior/Penelope videos this year (which will also get re-reviews).
