Plot
In the city of Globalville, every region is represented as a ball. Together, the residents of Globalville sing songs, go places, and do random stuff with each other.

Intentional Bad Qualities
NOTE: This show was intentionally made to be bad.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) The main problem with this show is that it doesn’t really match well with the original Countryballs comics. The comics themselves are weird, but they are still kinda funny. The actual show itself tries too hard to mock other regions, but fails miserably. Not to mention that this show is notoriously loaded with tons of weird logic, such as Chile growing for some reason, Lichtenstein being larger than Germany in some episodes, and many more.
 * 2) A lot of the characters suck:
 * 3) *The United Kingdom is portrayed as a stereotypical perfectionist who drinks tea all the time, tries to make everything extremely perfect, and even has a very stereotypical British accent.
 * 4) *France is no better either, as she defends the United Kingdom every time he is called out. Not to mention she became obsessed with baguettes.
 * 5) *Russia is depicted as a generic alcoholic who enjoys drinking vodka 24/7. He even hates people who touch his vodka.
 * 6) **Starting in Season 7, he became a DaddyOFive wannabe that abuses kids.
 * 7) *Ireland now hates everything about the United Kingdom with a fiery passion to the point where he even harassed Canada, Australia, and New Zealand just because they were similar to the UK.
 * 8) *Speaking of Canada, he isn’t any better, due to him being portrayed simply as an idiot who is heavily addicted to maple syrup.
 * 9) ** He even tried to put maple syrup onto Germany’s pretzel, causing the latter to scream, “Fuck you, you stupid syrup-addicted bitch!” in, “Canada Does It Again”.
 * 10) * Australia became a one-dimensional Australian stereotype who wants to invite everybody to his Aussie BBQ parties.
 * 11) **Although he improved in Season 6, he became a butt-monkey, mainly with Ireland.
 * 12) *New Zealand started hating on people who liked to eat kiwis.
 * 13) *Japan is arguably the worst character in the entire show, due to her being a stereotype of anime girls and being extremely obsessed with getting her breasts and private parts tickled by other Countryballs, having anal sex with everyone, and having large breasts.
 * 14) *The Arab Countries (with the exception of Egypt) are very unlikable as they like to torment Israel for literally no reason.
 * 15) *Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei are no better either, as they join the Arab Countries to torture Israel because they think that “all Jews are evil spies that hate Muslims”.
 * 16) *Brazil is only here to reference memes.
 * 17) *Greece and Egypt, while tolerable characters, are stereotypically portrayed as stuck in ancient times for some reason.
 * 18) *Estonia is nothing else than a Gary Stu.
 * 19) *Latvia is arguably the most one-dimensional and flat character in this show.
 * 20) *Lithuania is only here for filler.
 * 21) *Belarus barely does anything to help the other countries. Fuck this, let’s move on.
 * 22) *North Macedonia became a generic Mary Sue with little to no personality.
 * 23) *Sweden has no purpose to be in this show other than for comedy.
 * 24) *Israel, despite being a tolerable character, is depicted as a punching bag, mainly with the Arab countries, Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
 * 25) * Bulgaria started being obsessed with twerking after watching adult cartoons. And despite being a major character, she barely does anything, besides going on her laptop to watch videos of girls twerking.
 * 26) *Turkey is portrayed simply as an idiot who likes turkeys.
 * 27) *Albania is portrayed as an SJW who supports all Albanian censorship and condemns everyone who disagrees with him.
 * 28) The theme song is just a bunch of the characters doing very random things, such as going on their phones, dancing, building architecture, etc.
 * 29) Quantity Over Quality: The show only started 8 years ago and there’s already 18 seasons and over 700 episodes, as well as four spin-offs and even a movie based on the series. That seems extremely rushed.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Due to the offensive content of this show, this series as a whole was intentionally made to be bad.

Reception
Countryballs: The Animated Series received mixed reviews from critics, but was met with slightly more negative reviews from audiences, who criticized its weird logic, inappropriate humor, and having elements that may not fit well with the original Countryballs comics. However, the show gained a “So Bad, It’s Good” cult following due to it being meant to be bad on purpose.

However, despite the mixed reception, the show was universally panned outside of the United States by critics and audiences alike, who were extremely offended by the portrayal of countries in this show. English YouTuber Steve Reviews said in review of the show that he didn’t like the portrayal of the United Kingdom in this show and that he somewhat felt very insulted about it. Not only that, but he also said that he would rather watch grass grow than this series.

For Polish audiences, the show was referred to as a “Bzdura”, which mean a Bullshit show.
