Hello there. I'm SilverEagle91. For this double comparison, I'm comparing the Brickleberry episode "Miss National Park" and the King Star King episode "Kwa Kwa City" to the Scooby Doo special "Scooby Doo: Spooky Games" and the Milo Murphy's Law episode "Going The Extra Milo". The first comparison involves characters at an important competition while the second comparison involves trying to get somewhere on time. Let's see where Scooby Doo and Milo Murphy's Law did much better.

Miss National Park: With a show like Brickleberry, you can count on it to mess up the characterizations of any character, with this being proof of that. This episode involves Woody being relentlessly pursued by Manslaughter McGill for losing a gambling bet for $20,000. Woody bets himself to redeem his gambling bet for Ethel winning, but in order to prove that beauty pageants are evil and ruin people's lives, Connie decides to enter. Malloy aims to help her out because he wants the prize of the pageant: a trip to anywhere in the world so that he can kill a fat Chinese boy, Chang, as revenge for humiliating him on a multi-player video game. I know this episode wants to satirize the evils of pageants, but it fails on a few accounts. For one thing, the entire conflict started because of Woody being an even bigger moron than usual instead of just being misguided. Connie is a joke character you can't relate to, and the fact she enters a voluntary event out of spite and against the rules makes her unlikable too. Malloy is pretty much modern day Stewie and Quagmire rolled into one, and is even more unsympathetic due to how blatant he is in taking advantage of Ethel. The supposed satire is about his bad competition can get, but because they dial up the effects of the negative consequences to a ludicrous degree, it sends the message on never trying your best at anything lest you become a monstrous jerk. On top of that, the humor and subplot are dumb and pointless.

Scooby Doo: Spooky Games: Now let's see where Scooby Doo managed to do much better. This special involves the gang as they head to London for the World Invitational Games by a woman named Diane since Shaggy is an incredibly fast runner. However, a giant statue of Fortius comes to life and terrorizes the games, which makes the gang leap into action. The focus characters of the special ate Fred and Shaggy. Fred gets envious of professional pole vaulter Steve Looker, and wants to beat him at his own game. Fred is a guy who's all about pride, and this stays in character, and since he does come to genuinely appreciate pole vaulting, he gets more likability points. The other plot involves Shaggy's ability to run fast. He's able to run fast due to eating a lot and being scared, which becomes useful. One might think it would send a message on embracing negatives, but it's actually about how you can turn your negatives into positives by knowing how to use them properly for motivation. That's cool. The action is pretty fun, the humor is clever, and it's an all around great way to honor the 2012 Summer Olympics. I definitely recommend this one.

Winner: Scooby Doo: Spooky Games

Here are the writers for the episode.

Miss National Park: Christopher Vane

Scooby Doo: Spooky Games: Mark Banker

Now it's time for the second comparison.

Kwa Kwa City: King Star King could've been somewhat tolerable if it's finale was at least a little bit decent, but that's not the case here. This episode involves King Star King and a strange group of guys becoming heroes. However, in order to save the universe, they have to escape the mind of Kwa Kwa, which is easier said than done. Of all the episodes, this one is ripe for picking apart. It tries to play out like some adult oriented Alice In Wonderland type fantasy, but it's pretty much what would happen if someone on drugs animated a cartoon episode, meaning that it's pretty messed up in a bad way. The characters are pretty much blank slates considering that they do nothing to stand out from each other and act like mindless zombies as a result. The pacing is also atrocious with scenes either going by too fast or too slow, and this is nine minutes long, which results in a head ache. The only good thing about this episode is that the show will never be revived again. Thank goodness.

Going The Extra Milo: Now let's see where Milo Murphy's Law managed to do much better. This episode involves Milo and Melissa waiting for the bus on the first day of school when they meet up with a new kid named Zach. However, since Milo is the descendant of Edward Murphy of Murphy's Law, he and Zach get separated from the rest of the class due to the hijinks that ensues because of Milo's condition, and now they have to survive various obstacles to get to school on time. As a pilot episode, it does a great job establishing the character personalities, like Milo's optimism and flexibility, Melissa's genre savvy behavior, and Zach's voice of reason/the heart persona. The most important part involves the hijinks. The episode, as well as the show in general, avoids darkness induced audience apathy by making the torture akin to that of classic cartoons, which makes it genuinely funny. The moral of the episode involves looking at the bright side of things, which works considering Zach never left Milo and still stuck around, where things eventually get better. It's a great way to start things off.

Winner: Going The Extra Milo

Here are the writers for the episodes.

Kwa Kwa City: Tommy Blacha

Going The Extra Milo: Dan Povenmire, Jeff Swampy Marsh, Kyle Menke

Thanks for reading. Have a good day.
