    I think it was partially due to sheer laziness on the writers part (or Butch's) and partially because they had to compete with Spongebob. I think both shows kept trying to out-dumb the other one and it spiraled out of control.

    ​​@@nevaehhamilton3493 hate Butch all you want but I don't think it was his choice to make Cosmo so dumb. I honestly think they wanted to add more of a comedic edge to the show after a while, replacing the heartfelt Moments from the earlier seasons.

    I liked Cosmo best around Seasons 2-4. Ask him about politics, romance or Canada and he'll speak his infinite knowledge all day. He just doesn't know when to shut up and read the room. Where Butch Hartman failed, when he decided to make Cosmo more outlandish for comedy, was that he didn't seem to know the difference between "smart" and "wise;" that one character could be the most knowledgeable person in their circles AND the biggest fool at the same time. No amount of street smarts will save you if you're just THAT curious about a shiny red lever.

  • @MediaNutso
    @MediaNutso2 жыл бұрын

    Well, it's really due a number of factors: - the crew changing from the first five seasons to where it was for season seven on, - the supporting cast getting cut down to only a handful, shifting many of the jokes to them, - the humor becoming a lot more homogeneous, - the crew over time losing the fun passion & spark, and treating it more like a job they have to do. I know this bit has nothing to do with the video's topic, but one example not often brought up is how Guy Moon's score also became homogeneous, to the point where many cues are reused over and over.
