Ugh. This episode/special is nearly unwatchable.
The largest problem with this special is the editing and pacing.
It feels as though it was put together by an editor who was doing a combination of Ritalin and cocaine. It has no focus whatsoever, tells no cohesive story, and many of the "bloopers" are clearly staged. Worse, the actual non-staged bloopers are cut together so tightly that they lose all their comedic value entirely. It seems as though the editing for this one was outsourced to someone who normally cuts together car commercials, where you have to jam as much in 30 seconds as possible. Imagine watching that for 21 minutes, your brain just explodes after minute four.
As an example of the terrible editing, two of the characters volunteer to take the audience on a tour of the set. So they go to the first room for all of fifteen seconds then cut to commercial... Back from commercial, and oh, guess we're done with the tour. No wait, EIGHT MINUTES LATER they come back and go to another room for another 30 seconds. This fractured and extremely disjointed storytelling doesn't work whatsoever, it's just annoying, repulsive, and borderline vulgar.
I genuinely feel dumber and less informed after watching this special, and genuinely wish not only that I had never seen it, but that it never was made in the first place. (...and I like the regular show!)
