Again, Jake and Adam are a winning pair. They're both surprisingly likeable and work well off each other. But the writing of the show is still a bit weak, and most of all - CAN WE STOP THE JOKES ABOUT JAKE'S NAKED BUTT??? Not funny, just off-putting IMO.

What? This episode was jokes about Adam's naked butt. I know, he and Jake share the same taxonomic order, but Adam's a hominid and Jake's a cebid. They're not that similar.Yeah, lousy episode. I ain't impressed with this show.

Jake sounds too much like Billy on Grim Adventures. I assume it's the same actor. I finally placed the principal's voice as the troll from that one episode of Animaniacs, so I assume he's Maurice LaMarche. That's as far as I've gotten in the Guess the Voice Actor game.

Jake = Tom Kenny, Billy = Richard Horvitz

Well, what I meant was when Jake said "Whew, I need some color in my cheeks" and starts messing with his hind end. Just, enough already.

Well this show hasn't really grabbed me but there is one thing I really think is interesting about it.

Anyone notice how some of the animals have accents similar to the people who live in their native geography.

Cree Summers lunch lady sounds like a person from somewhere in central or Eastern Africa, and the Tucan that Grey Delisle plays sounds like she's from Latin America.

Ironically this isn't true for every animal, but I think it's interesting attention to detail.

I did not know that. I'd swear they were the same man.

Which is more annoying: the Cow and Chickenish stream of butt and poop jokes, or the wipe with the fruit and bongo music for every scene change? I think the bongos got to me first, but the butt jokes are in it for the long haul.

They're both annoying, but the butt jokes are worse. I agree with judyindisguise, they do need to stop. This show has potential, but it's going in the wrong direction.

I like the part where Mr. Hornbill got owned by Principal Pixiefrog.

It doesn't help that Jake is basically Bloo with a tail.
