Countryballs: The Animated Series (or simply just Countryballs) is a Polish an American family adult animated musical television sitcom created by TBA of U Got 45’d The Crazy-Ass Group Show: The Series, Television Presentation fame. It is loosely based on the Countryballs fandom & comics. It made its premiere on Comedy Central on Christmas August 9th, 2024.

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.

Production
In 2019, Atlantic Studios (the same company behind Team Year and Empires) wanted to make a more adult-oriented English dub of Ojamajo Doremi to air on Comedy Central. The dub was originally meant to debut on May 28th, 2020, but was delayed to the COVID-19 pandemic. The dub’s airing date was then pushed 1 year later to November 7th, 2021, but the dub was canceled again, despite being 92% done. Two and a half years later, the dub was rediscovered, made longer, had several story elements changed and was eventually reworked into Countryballs: The Animated Series. On June 12th, 2026, the dub was leaked online.

Intentional Bad Qualities
NOTE: This show was made as a joke and 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 sex, hentai, and getting her breasts and genitals tickled by other Countryballs.
 * 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) *South Korea is exactly like she was in Starch Brotherhood: The Series.
 * 29) The theme song is just a bunch of the characters doing very random things, such as going on their phones, dancing, building architecture, and even doing the Delivery Dance from GrubHub too, which somewhat comes off as very weird.
 * 30) Quantity Over Quality: The show only started 8 years ago and there’s already 18 seasons and over 700 episodes, as well as seven spin-offs and even a movie based on the series. That seems extremely rushed.
 * 31) The animation doesn’t look good for 2020s standards, as it tries too hard to be like Sr Pelo’s animations.
 * 32) Laughable voice acting, as many of the voices sound unfitting for the characters.
 * 33) Crazy overuse of slapstick that goes on in every single episode of the entire show.
 * 34) Its crossover with the equally bad Junior Eurovision and Julkalendern: The Series, “Awesome New Friends”, is really bad as it features lots of sexual humor, complete with actual nudity, and speaking of the nudity, to make matters worse, it is  completely uncensored and we are actually not joking. 
 * 35) Executive Meddling: The show was originally going to be an English dub of Ojamajo Doremi, but became an original animated series for some reason.

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 has been really successful, and gained a “So Bad, It’s Good” cult following due to it being meant to be bad on purpose.
