Exploding Kittens

What's great about other Oatmeal's art is its cute sarcasm: it's sharp and unforgiving, yet kinda lovable. Even monster babies are adorable, in their own disgusting way - but it's still delivering the point, like "cats rules, babies suck", and the like.

Here, the cuteness of the characters is all there - the art style of the drawings is transitioned into the animation quite impeccably: everything looks ugly and beautiful at the same time. The voice acting is a good match, too - mostly, anyway. But the sarcasm is severely lacking.

It's just too nice.

Don't get me wrong, there still are fairly sharp jokes and puns and some sarcastic attitude (like the fair part of the SeaWorld episode), but the whole premise of God being selfish jerk is lost pretty much in episode 1, and the evil is pretty much never materialises at any point. And all the family values...

Too nice.
