So, the latest Total Drama episode premiered.

The hits:

Noah, in general. He was actually funny. The unicorn joke was probably his cheesiest, but other than that, he was hilarious. I'm glad he's back on to add a different sort of humor to the show, that it desperately needs. Leshawna's bra on his head was a definite highlight. For me, Noah has to do very little for me to find him funny.

Katie and Sadie go green. Okay... That was funny. XD Katie was dressing like Audrey I.

DJ's Momma. She was quite funny this time for me, as she actually got a speaking part. That would have been epic if she was a contestant. XD

Chef and Chris singing "Musical" repeated. I have no idea why I thought it was funny, but I liked it.

The mutants. A slightly more clever movie reference, that at least I haven't seen before.

The misses:

Duncan-Gwen-Courtney. Seriously... I got confused by what was going on, here. Courtney and Gwen are fighting over Duncan now? When did Duncan and Courtney break up?

Alejandro and Sierra. They were very heavily one note. Sierra was shown so much that she got old very quickly. Her voice distortion bit was kinda funny, but I couldn't understand what she was saying. I hate to complain about voice acting, but... Her voice is just too high for her character model. Alejandro... Who the heck is he even supposed to be? He just showed up without any explanation that I could see. I was pretty disappointed with their introduction to the series.

That Total Drama Brothers thing. Okay what? Was that just an excuse for more male nudity? The song was horrible and not particularly funny, at least not to me. I hope that song isn't an indication as to what is to come. I fear that the music in this show is going to try to sound like certain things, as opposed to being fun, original, and clever like Phineas and Ferb's music.

Ezekiel, Cody, and Tyler's voices. Did Peter Oldring leave the series? All of their voices sounded different to me, especially Ezekiel's. I don't mind voice actors changing, but... IDK. Ezekiel sounded so strange.

The Entertainment Tonight parody. It felt too long, and while the voice actors did remind me of Mary Hart and Bob Goen, without being too obvious, the whole bit seemed pretty random. I did like the guy's character model, though the girl's reminded me too much of Bridgette's. Entertainment has been lampooned in cartoons a few times. The best I've seen was The Animaniac's Mary Hartless. XD

So:

The episode had some funny moments. More than a lot of the things on at least Total Drama Action. It unfortunately had some moments that fell short to me. I am very afraid of how the series will be next season, though.
