Crash and Bernstein

Probably the worst kids show next to Dora The Explorer. You have this really annoying kid, who complains about not having a brother, so he goes to build-a-bestie (WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?) and makes this puppet thing, who becomes the star of the show pretty much, and he is even more annoying than the kid. They think they're so cool, when really they're some of the lamest kids I've ever seen. Don't even get me started on the sisters. They're really annoying too, especially the older one. The theme song of this show is show stupid and it doesn't even make any sense! I just want to go through the TV screen and kick the puppet thing. The show is complete rubbish. My gosh, it's even worse than Dora, and that's saying ALOT!
Crash: I'm telling you Bernstein, the ladies will love that you have a puppet as a friend. ;)
Berinstein: Oh really? Okay, let's go talk to Dora! :)
Dora: What the hell? Is that little kid with the gay purple puppet coming over here to talk to us?
Boots and Dora's other stupid friends: Let's get away from these gay weirdos!

Even DORA hates Crash and Bernstein!
