I once thought \"Movie Time\" was number one until I thought another episode manages to be worse than that. Ladies and gentlemen…the number one worst episode is…
\"Al Rojo Vivo\"
This episode actually pressed my Berserk Button until it was broken! The plot of this episode goes like this: Mickey and Minnie watch the Running of the Bulls in Spain. This already is a recipe for disaster. The \"Spain\" portrayal is the stereotypical Toros y Flamenco place. But that\'s not all! Pete tries to have Minnie, which prompts Mickey to become red. And guess what? The bulls start chasing him. While he\'s being chased, he has the luck to get caught in the middle of La Tomatina (which is in the Valencian village of Buñol and not even celebrated at the same time, so they happened together because the universe wanted to spite him). Then he gets covered in tomatoes, enraging the bull even more. But that\'s not all! Once again, the episode ends at Mickey\'s expense for he gets kissed by Minnie, and then his pants fall, exposing his red shorts and getting the bulls against him, because God forbid he gets a good ending! We can\'t have that! And guess what? He once again does NOTHING to deserve this! AND WE\'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND THIS FUNNY!!!! GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I’m beating a dead horse here, but I’m going to beat it again. HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS MAKE MICKEY A CHARACTER TO LAUGH AT?!?! Ever since this episode, I feel bad for the poor guy, because anything and everything will go out on its way to torture him! I dare ANYBODY to say Mickey is not a Designated Monkey in this episode! Oh, and a lot of the episode has Mickey scream his head off, which is nothing short of ear-grating. All in all, the episode is full of insulting, gratuitous and racist Spanish stereotypes (and this aired on Spanish television, which means that more than a few Spanish people have seen this and gotten offended), and the ending is so mean-spirited toward Mickey, and such an ungodly case of Yank the Dog\'s Chain, that I\'m shocked it was able to get past the scripting stage, let alone fully animated and voiced! I expect a lot better from Disney of all companies.
Al Rojo Vivo. Este capitulo es mierda.
