Show Summary

Imagine having a lollipop that gives you the strength of a hundred men or a rocket-powered backpack that can send you to the Moon or genetically altering your dog to make him talk. Johnny Test can do all of that... and more! So it's not just another day in the life of a boy. Johnny Test chronicles the adventures of a fearless 11-year-old boy, his genetically engineered super dog Dukey and his 13-year-old super genius scientist twin sisters, Susan and Mary, who use Johnny as their guinea pig for their out-of-this-world scientific experiments. And half of the time their experiments cause something bad or earth-deadly to happen. Then they have to save the day after they started it.

    4.0
    It's terrible, but I can't stop laughing at how cheesy the whole thing is, the rather-unfitting music, the all-too-obvious plot twists, and how scientifically inaccurate the main character's sisters are.
  • Cartoon? That's a very generous title for this show.

    1.0
    If any show were more poorly made than Johnny Test then the impossible would then be possible. The show clearly rips of Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Quest's name. I will review through my experiences of sitting through this crap.



    To start

    Plot [1/10] - Generic, repetitive, and not interesting in the slightest, If you're looking for new fresh quality walk away. The show is just a constantly recycled story: 1. Johnny is bored 2. sisters make invention and tell Johnny to stay away 3. Johnny takes it and destroys the city 4. everything gets fixed and Johnny learns a lesson. 5. repeat. Now some episodes are slightly different like the racing episodes which are predictable since Johnny wins or everyone ties. Sometimes there's a fight with some atrocious antagonist who is easily defeated. The plot overall is just unmemorable and boring.



    Writing/Dialogue/Humor [0/10] - The writing in this show sounds like a child wrote some shitty comic. The jokes are forced and not even in the slightest funny. I can't get how this so called "humor" of toilet jokes and the scripts sound pretty much copy-pasted. The humor is forced and is trying too hard. Oh let's not forget how Johnny talks in the person all the time or asks for something in a really annoying way like "Johnny want" or "gimme gimme" I mean come on is he trying to be annoying. The constant reused dialogue is just bad like "ohhhh didn't see that coming" or "I'm in trouble aren't I" and "ohhh so close".



    Sounds/Music[-10/10] - Holy Sh*t what were they thinking! I can't go 1 second without hearing rock music, whip noises when the characters move, or listening to some shitty song parody or a teenagers garage band. The Music is totally uninspiring, I mean the intro song sounds a lot like american idiot and they also make up their own songs which are annoying and badly written which is supposed to be funny. Overall the

    music/sound is just one of the worst aspects of this show.



    Design/Animations[2/10] - The animations are flash, yes adobe flash, I've seen better on the internet. The animations are quick, choppy, and sluggish and are just plain cheap. The Design is no redeemer, The characters are squares erased with ms paint and I have seen some better art with ms paint, the characters look too polygon like and not visually appealing whatsoever, squidbillies looks better than this! Overall the animations and design are just not good nor good looking.



    Characters[-100/10] - The worst aspect of the show are the terrible characters. You know a show is bad when you hate the protagonist. Johnny Test, the protagonist, is the worst of it, he's selfish, arrogant, and just plain stupid and sends no good message. He's just an annoying little kid with a 0 attention span. The sister's are just Dexter rip offs, Susan is stuck up and Mary is okay because she isn't really used all that much, they always spy on Gil Nexdor, clever huh, who is a run of the mill stoner idiot and think they can both date him. Then the parents, the mom's okay but the dad is basically just grounds Johnny and the Sister's, makes shitty meatloaf thinking it's good, and gives Johnny just enough to finish his problem all the time. The dog sidekick of Johnny Dukey(Pronounced Dookie yeah Dookie because of what a shit character he is) is supposed to help Johnny or be the voice of reason but he never lives up to it and ends up helping anyways and is always being a pussy, not to mention his voice is absolute ear rape and his nickname fuzzy buddy always seems to annoy me due to the fact Johnny says it so stupidly and is only said cause it rhymes. The antagonists are just terrible, first there's Bling Bling boy who is just some rich, fat, obese, and annoying kid named Eugene who loves Susan and even though she constantly rejects him he keeps trying and failing. The Brainfreezer is just a shitty Mr. Freeze who was some collage kid who sold coffee and became a villain because some girl rejected him and uses too many ice puns. There's the mole king who is bisexual mole who makes shitty plots to takeover the surface world. Can't forget Mr. Mittens who is some cat made smart by science and also makes shitty plots that are always foiled. Then there's Wacko who is some mentally insane toy company CEO who wants to destroy kids through his toys in really complicated ways that never work. The Bee Keeper was also a villain who wanted to make kids eat healthy through honey bars and was stopped by Johnny (good message huh). And finally Dark Vegan who is clearly made to be a Darth Vader rip off and space balls rip off who is the leader of some vegan planet that wanted to destroy earth to keep their planet nice but was foiled by Johnny and the so called military. Plenty of secondary characters like the generic bully, hot girl, and rival. The Agents are men in black rip offs named black and white according to race (Black guy=Mr. White/White and are pathetic excuses for government agents, they constantly fumble and can never fix anything and always have to get Johnny's help sometimes they just want to get a vacation, not to mention they talk very stupid, they drag things out and are just painful to watch and not funny. Then there's the General who is one the shows better character since he shows some common sense and can usually fix things. Overall the characters are deplorable in every way, they are bland, flat, and just not likable.



    My conclusive thoughts on this show are that it's just plain terrible. The show is a repetitive looping cycle of plot writing and the characters have no depth or likability. At least some shows on CN have some depth or are intriguing like Adventure Time (Which has a Post - Apocalyptic Setting with very subtle reference) and Regular Show which at least adds more detail to its plot even if things are a bit recycled. It's a sad excuse for a TV Show and should be canceled . I honestly have no idea what CN was thinking renewing this show so many times and showing it for half the line-up like sponge bob except sponge bob was at least good even if it had some bad seasons, this show is the worst pile of crap I have ever seen.



    Final Score [1/10]
