Challenge Clashers (Mayhem (Season 1)-Youtubers (Season 2A))

Note: You guys are allowed to add reasons and redeeming qualities reasons but no vandalism that's bad. '''Another Note: Don't add other characters except for the ones that are confirmed to be in the show. Now, I allow you to add other characters in Mario's Random Stuff, but not here, mainly because this is a competition show and we can't have 100+ people in a competition.'''

Overall

 * 1) This show brings in an interesting idea of a Total Drama and Survivor parody/inspired series and just throws it out in the trash! This results in the show having bad episodes, bad characters, bad writing, etc. Which will all be explained shortly.
 * 2) Some of the licensed characters in this show seem to suffer from flanderization:
 * 3) *Dr. Robotnik/Eggman went from an evil yet funny genius who wants to stop Sonic at any cost, to a nagging old man-like character who can't even defend himself.
 * 4) **This can be clearly noticeable as in the second episode, he was seen nagging a lot, as well as accepting Mega Zord's blackmail.
 * 5) *Knuckles went from an independent, and headstrong character, to a dumbass who punches anyone who touches his master emerald.
 * 6) **In one episode he said he took a photo of Rouge's quote-unquote "milk jugs" while she was sleeping that he can look at in his free time..... yeah you get what's wrong with that.
 * 7) ***Even though Knuckles and Rouge are dating in the series it's still kind of weird he did that without Rouge's consent.
 * 8) *Boyfriend went from a brave and cocky rapper who loves his girlfriend, to an annoying and rude idiot who always has sex with Girlfriend even in front of everyone and cried very loudly when she got eliminated.
 * 9) *Girlfriend became nothing more than a plot device to be the first one eliminated in the show.
 * 10) *Pikachu, while he was the least bad out of the flanderized people, became a little annoying and had anger issues which caused him to be eliminated in episode 3
 * 11) *Luca became very annoying and is always talking about how he wants to go back to the sea and how he wants to be Alberto's boyfriend.
 * 12) **The running gag of Luca going into the toilet to get back to the sea then getting flushed down and screaming, while funny is really repetitive.
 * 13) *While this was most likely intentional, Minnie went from the sweet girlfriend of Mickey to a villain who cheats on Mickey and starts sabotaging challenges in the 4th episode.
 * 14) *Talking Tom and Ben just became generic enemies.
 * 15) *Jeffy got reverted back to his characterization in 2016-Early 2017 SML and became Minnie's minion, even doing some of the actions he did in 2016-Early 2017.
 * 16) *Much like Jeffy, Caillou got reverted back to his characterization in his early era.
 * 17) *Rex got flanderized into a meat-hungry generic dinosaur who always eats Luca.
 * 18) Some of the original characters are also bad:
 * 19) *While this was intentional, Martha is the annoying mother of Angelica who always embarrasses her own daughter.
 * 20) *Snuggles is a mary sue who's in the show for generic girl power. She's also had an arguably forced friendship with Poochie
 * 21) *Poochie is also a mary sue who's in the show for girl power, except she's wimpier and her friendship with Snuggles feels forced.
 * 22) The animation, while fantastic, feels off-putting when the 2D characters interact with CGI backgrounds, characters, and live-action characters, more specifically Jeffy, the 2nd main antagonist next to Minnie who's in live-action the whole series using green screen.
 * 23) *Speaking of CGI, the CGI looks strange and outdated for a series that was made in 2021.
 * 24) **Also speaking of green screens, the green screen for Jeffy isn't that good either, in some scenes, Jeffy has a green outline, in others, Jeffy looks faded, or in some rare cases: doesn't even have the green screen effect on him or is not even frame cause of them using the max on the green screen rate.
 * 25) ***Also going back to the main animation (2D) in certain scenes, the lighting feels off (Ex. A scene during S2 episode 3 when it's nighttime and Pinkela and Marshmallow have their lighting that's used during the daytime)
 * 26) The voice acting ranges from passable to irritating to listen to, especially Snuggles in Season 1.

Mayhem (Season 1)

 * 1) While the first four and last 5 challenges of the season are amazing, the rest are not really that good. Some are just more stupid than anything. They had challenges like:
 * 2) *Try not to cringe challenge.
 * 3) *Singing contest, while that's a good idea in concept the rules are absurd.
 * 4) *A YouTube Hate Video Challenge. (This challenge would be reused in season 2)
 * 5) Some of the plot points are dumb and kind of feel forced.
 * 6) *Poochie and Snuggles' friendship and alliance.
 * 7) *Mega Zord's Blackmail.
 * 8) *Sonic and Tails no longer being best friends.
 * 9) *The Jertha (Jeffy X Martha) Arc that happened in episodes 8-16
 * 10) **Not only is this arc forced but it's also weird. Jeffy and Martha have NO chemistry whatsoever which is definitely proof this was forced.
 * 11) Conntinuity is sometimes non-existent in the series, whenever something happens in one episode a few episodes later that thing is acted like it never happened.
 * 12) *Talking Tom dies in his elimination episode ("Lights, Camera, ACTION!") but returns in his returning episode ("Sleep With One Eye Open Tonight")
 * 13) **Before you use the argument "It's a cartoon nothing makes sense" keep in mind this is not an episodic series like Family Guy or Season 1 of Steven Universe, this is a story-driven series and Pinkela said nothing about reviving Tom so this is a prime example of continuity being ignored.

YouTubers (Season 2A)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) The first half of the season tries way too hard to have the aesthetic of The Crazy-Ass Group Show, due to the series being infamously popular at the time. And as you know how bad that show is, this will obviously make the first half of this season bad.
 * 2) The first half of this season also tends to make fun of certain pieces of media such as:
 * 3) *Modern Spongebob Sqaurepants + Kamp Koral: Spongebob Under The Years
 * 4) *The Devil's Tournament
 * 5) *Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
 * 6) *Captain Underpants
 * 7) *Multiverse and Friends
 * 8) *Water: The Series
 * 9) *Helluva Boss
 * 10) *Toddlers & Tiaras (Albeit deserving to be made fun of)
 * 11) Much like Season 1 this season is filled with continuity errors.
 * 12) *Jeffy forgot the Jertha arc even though it happened only a season ago, to be fair Jeffy is dumb and it's probably for the best the Jertha arc isn't remembered.
 * 13) *In Season 1, Pinkela claimed she loved The Baby and Thugs books but in Season 2 she claims she hates them and burns them to a crisp.
 * 14) *King Dedede says he placed 7th in Season 1, even though he placed 5th.
 * 15) Even if this remains after the season improves, Creeper up until his elimination episode is treated like a huge butt monkey because people keep making him explode, mainly Eggman.
 * 16) *Speaking of, Eggman got another flanderization in this season, except it's worse than his one in Season 1, as he always likes to bully Creeper and make him explode, he's also super obnoxious whenever he doesn't get his way. Thankfully he didn't get past the merge and got eliminated 15th.

Redeeming Qualities
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) Around Season 2B, the quality started going up.
 * 2) Some funny moments, such as:
 * 3) *Several dead memes making a special guest appearance in Welcome to YouTube.

Mayhem

 * Never Leave Off On An Empty Stomach
 * Nacho Tuesday
 * Rainy Day Games
 * Puppet Show Catastrophe

YouTubers

 * Welcome to YouTube

Mayhem

 * Listen to These Fire Bars!
 * Never Do a Challenge at 3 AM
 * Love Is In The Air

YouTubers

 * Haters Freaking Suck!
 * IS THAT THE BITE OF '87!?

Overall

 * Almost all curse words except for "Crap" and "Damn" are censored or cut out of episodes.
 * Any sexual references are removed or censored.
 * The Pakistan dub of Challenge Clashers makes every character from other IPs original due to getting the rights to the characters denied.

Never Leave Off With An Empty Stomach

 * The scene where BF and GF have sex in front of everyone is entirely cut out of the episode
 * Luca's song about wanting to kiss Alberto is censored to a song about wanting to go back home to Alberto.
 * Every time Jeffy spanks his diaper in the episode is cut out (This applies for the rest of the series).
 * Knuckles' comment about taking a picture of Rouge's "Milk Jugs" while she is sleeping is censored by taking out the milk jug sentence completely and just leaving in Knuckles stating he took a picture of Rouge while she was sleeping.
 * When Rex eats Luca in the episode, the blood is removed
 * Additionally, Rex's line after eating Luca "Ugh, I'm all bloody now." is replaced with "That fried fish was delicious!".
 * Everyone's vote against Girlfriend or Boyfriend that includes them saying the reasoning "They kept having sex." has the line removed and only has them saying that they vote Boyfriend or Girlfriend.
 * Additionally, them saying the direct reasoning as to why they voted off Girlfriend is cut out and it skips straight to Girlfriend going onto the bus after her elimination is announced.

Nacho Tuesday
Note: This is the episode of the show with the least censorship.
 * Boyfriend saying "That's it I'm done I'm hanging myself drinking bleach whatever it takes to kill myself I can't live without Girlfriend now that she's eliminated!" is replaced with Boyfriend crying before saying "I can't believe Girlfriend was eliminated! I loved her so much nooooooooo!"
 * The rap battle between Boyfriend and Baby Mickey is cut out of the episode due to Baby Mickey saying too many curse words that would be too difficult to censor.

Trivia

 * Challenge Clashers was the first crossover show to get permission to use characters from a game that wasn't out yet at the time of development, those characters being Boyfriend and Girlfriend from Friday Night Funkin'.
 * Additionally, Luca was a last-minute choice, because they were actually planning on adding another Disney character during development (That being Joy from Inside Out). Still, since Inside Out became irrelevant after 2015 and the show was almost done with production in 2021 so with Inside Out being irrelevant, they switched out Joy and replaced her with Luca. Though in Season 4 (Return Of The Mayhem), she was reconsidered and re-added to the show as a new cast member for that season.
 * Challenge Clasher is the first Total Drama parody to broadcast on TV.
 * Boyfriend was planned to be the initial antagonist of Season 1 but changes were made to just make him a comic relief annoying character, as Boyfriend in the original game didn't have any big antagonistic behavior or thoughts and he was seen to be more egotistical than anything.
 * After Mario's Random Stuff got canceled, the creator of Challenge Clashers (Kenmare Major Holley) confirmed that he once planned on having Sunian Faheal (The creator of Mario's Random Stuff) be a writer and co-director for Challenge Clashers, but he ultimately didn't give Sunian any roles in the project, because of all the controversy Sunian's series has brought, he was scared Sunian would make the series weird and make it promote things it shouldn't. Thus he only became a voice actor for Snuggles. (for Season 1 only, he was replaced after viewer complaints)
 * Challenge Clashers is the 3rd show with the most characters from other IPs, with Multiverse and Friends and The Crazy-Ass Group Show beating it in 2nd and 1st respectively.
