* BaseBreakingCharacter: The title character himself. Several viewers view him as having an unappealing design, bland nasally voice, poorly-adapted personality, and in some episodes [[TookALevelInJerkass he acts like a total whiny jerk who gets away with everything.]] While some think that he gets crammed in every episode that does involve more with him rather than Zeke, Marsha, and most of the side characters, to the point where they rarely appear in almost most of the episodes, aside from appearing either minor or supporting role. (Judy has gotten this the worst of them all.) However, some people have grown on the character, especially after the Season 1 finale.

** A more accurate comparison would be ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (which Aaron Springer previously worked on), ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', or ''WesternAnimation/The7D''.
