Pom-Pom Girls, episode 4

After rapidly resolving all the conflict last week, it’s time for new conflict, and it’s all about Our Smoochy Brazilian Blonde Bombshell dumping all over the mood. I question whether it was necessary to provide quite so much backstory in an infodump, but at least we got to see L’il Smoochy make a good first impression on her childhood classmates. On their faces. With her feet. (note episode title)

Anyway, Team Cheer now has a mission: save the unprofitable record store with the power of cheer. Which will involve performing in public, which might even get them more than the 102 views that Smoochy is so thrilled about.

Verdict: I never want to hear Anna and the record-store employees converse in English ever again.

Shy 2, episode 5

I think that was supposed to be funny. Unfortunately, Dragonball Plushie-Cuddler’s Manly Fisticuffs fell flat, and then Our Slow-Motion Urgent Rescue Mission stepped in a steaming pile of Kufufu, and I turned it off.

Verdict: one less thing to watch.

Pronunciation Guide

A “journalist” tried to lecture about how everyone was being racist-sexist-nazi by not pronouncing Kamala Harris’ first name correctly. By giving the Indian pronunciation that she herself does not use.

I believe showing the proper respect requires addressing her by her full name and title:

Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Aah V. P. Kamalamadingdong

(classical reference)
