An Italian Holiday (Multiverse and Friends)

An Italian Holiday is the first episode of the eleventh season of Multiverse and Friends.

Plot
The crew planned to go to Italy to spend the entire summer having fun. However, the crew had tons of problems during the trip, as Luz and Amity were forced to go on a separate way from the crew in order to get to Italy.

Why It Got a Fine from Roger Raincomprix

 * 1) Much like Schooled! from The Loud House with  Lincoln, this episode is just an unnecessary torture Luz and Amity episode and the mean spirited vibes were cranked up to eleven, as both were forced to go on a separate way from the crew. Speaking of such a way, it was a dangerous one when compared to the other members' way. One is a fine street that goes directly to the airport, the other is a long street with lots of traps and toxic stuff. Once they managed to find the street, they get kidnapped by two random guys and later escape just to get even more torture from Roger Raincomprix.
 * 2) The rest of the crew are unlikeable as they acted very selfishly and didn't even care if Luz and Amity were fine and just took an airplane.
 * 3) *Eda's the worst character in the entire episode and her flanderization has gone too far, as when she was asked if some people were missing from the crew, she said everyone is present, even though Luz and Amity were clearly not there. Not only that but once they arrived, she hasn't shown any form of regret for abandoning them.
 * 4) The moment when the show officially jumped the shark: After seeing a street that goes to Italy, Luz, and Amity were later kidnapped by two random guys and they had to find a way to escape from them. It was clear that it was just the writers ran out of ideas, as this was never mentioned again once Luz and Amity managed to get with the crew.
 * 5) Roger Raincomprix (Miraculous) is extremely unlikeable too as he constantly harassed Luz and Amity.
 * 6) *In this episode, he literally fined both of them for running in the street, even when the two random guys were chasing them in front of him. Not only that but he also fined them for no reason at all.
 * 7) *He's also a massive hypocrite, as he fined them for running in the street, yet he ran towards them to just fine them for no reason at all.
 * 8) The episode has the worst jokes in the entire show, for various reasons.
 * 9) * The jokes here are literally related to Neo-Nazism and domestic violence, sometimes they're mixed all together and they are by far the cruelest jokes in the entire series, such as a couple where a woman reveals to her husband she's Jewish and the husband angrily reveals he's anti-Semitic and started to abuse her.
 * 10) * The jokes also revolve around Luz and Amity being tortured throughout the entire episode, which makes it even more mean-spirited.
 * 11) For some reason, every character in this episode is unfair towards Luz and Amity, even though they've done absolutely nothing to them. This was obviously done for laughs and gags but it failed miserably because not only they've done nothing wrong, but it's also because other characters carelessly abandoned them, which makes this even crueler.
 * 12) Sluggish pacing that feels like it's taking forever to end, due to the episode being filled with an insane amount of filler that is nothing but offensive jokes and torturing the protagonists of the episode.
 * 13) Wasted potential at its purest form: The episode had the potential to be the best episode of the Vacation era and would have been better if the plot was about the entire crew not being able to go to the airport and instead having to go to a dangerous path, where it would have at least reverted every characters' personalities, but it was ruined due to the writers choosing instead to make a mean-spirited episode with awful and offensive jokes related to controversial stuff.
 * 14) Jarring tone that it's extremely unfitting in the entire episode. Throughout the entire episode, the tone is very lighthearted, even with the offensive jokes and the amount of torture, because the writers thought it was ok to add a lighthearted tone in cruel episodes when in reality, it adds to the mean-spiritedness.
 * 15) The most insulting thing about this episode is that none of the events here are later mentioned during the entire Vacation era, making it entirely filler. This was later fixed in season 13, where the characters made some references to this episode.
 * 16) The animation is horrible and stiff, as typical for seasons 9-12.
 * 17) Overall, this episode officially made the show jump the shark, and accelerated the downfall that already started with Friends Day due to the amount of torture and also started season 11 (which is considered the worst season of the show) on a horrendous note.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Luz and Amity are likable characters, as in this episode they returned to their original personalities.
 * 2) The idea of the crew spending the entire 2 seasons (seasons 11 and 12) in Italy just to have fun with each other is pretty good, as it would make the seasons different from the others seasons, but it was unfortunately botched from this episode as well the seasonal rot itself.
 * 3) Good ending: Once Luz and Amity managed to get to the crew, they noticed that they acted very careless towards them, so as a punishment, they destroyed their bags and their stuff. After that, a police officer fined the crew (except for Luz and Amity) for parking wrongly their vehicles 1500$.

Reception
An Italian Holiday received unanimously negative reviews from critics, audiences, fans, and internet reviewers. It was criticized for the fact that Luz and Amity were tortured, the crew being unlikeable, and the overall fact that the show jumped the shark. PhantomStrider ranked it n.1 in his Top 10 Worst Multiverse and Friends episodes, stating that "This episode killed my respect towards the show, and there's no reason to continue watching this joke of an adult animated sitcom". RebelTaxi made a standalone review of the episode, and stated that "This is clear that the writers have no respect towards the audiences, otherwise they would have given lot of fun gags and a well-executed plot, but no, instead they insulted us". The episode has a 3.1/10 on IMDb, making it the lowest-rated episode of the entire show.
