What An Idiot / Ryan ToysReview

They may be having fun, but sometimes Ryan and his friends, as well as many other characters including the adults, show that they’re as smart as their target audience, or even below it!

---

• "Pretend Play Magic Gone WRONG! Fun Challenge for Magic Prize!": Gus is trying to figure out the secret number at a magic show. He encounters a math equation.^note The equation itself is 5 + 5.

You'd expect: Gus to be smart enough to nail the equation.
Instead: He struggles at solving a simple first-grade math equation and instead relies on his "viewers" to help him.

• "What really happens when you swallow gum???": Combo asks some of his friends the titular question, as he's uncertain about what really happens.

You'd expect: Combo's friends to tell him that swallowing gum will simply stay in your stomach until you need to poop again, or at least say the myth that it will stay in there for at least seven years.
Instead: Gus says that "swallowing gum will turn you into a gummy bear", Alpha says that "swallowing gum will give you superpowers", and Moe says that "swallowing gum will cause a tree to grow in your stomach". Combo does not believe any of this though.

• "PIZZA FAIL!! Pretend Play How to Cook Healthy Pizza Challenge with Gus VS Combo Panda!": Combo Panda has just finished making his pizza, with some time remaining, so he has to find a way to pass the time.

You'd expect: Combo just wait there or have a chat with his friends or something.
Instead: He leaves his pizza stand to play a video game, and when he comes back, he sees his pizza stand burning to the ground, destroying his pizza and kicking him out of the competition.

• "Pretend Play Pool Summer Fun with Gus the Gummy Gator!": Combo Panda accidentally breaks a rule at the waterpark, causing him to feel guilty.

You'd expect: Have him read the rules, and use his guilt to learn from his mistakes.
Instead: He keeps breaking more rules, yet he never gets kicked out of the park for doing so.

• "Learn Seven Continents of the World for kids with Ryan's World!": Alpha Lexa tells Combo that Antarctica has no permanent human population. Combo takes this literally and moves his "country", named Combolandia to Antarctica, and adds "new to his country' name". Alpha Lexa warns him about how cold the continent is.

You'd expect: Him listen to Alpha's warnings and not move his "country" anywhere else besides his backard.
Instead: He rudely ignores Alpha and goes to Antarctica, in the next scene, an avalanche approaches and kills him.
