Show: Teen Titans Go Fuck Yourselves!
Episode: 107
Year: 2015
Chief Complaints:
-The Titans’ greed becomes too much to stomach
-Seeing the Titans completely toothless and drooling is gross
-The episode is a worse version of
The Powerpuff Girls episode "Moral Decay" (which is also a bad episode for many reasons)
-The tooth fairy is an odontophile da-da-da-da-da
-
Aqua Teen Hunger Force already did this plot much better
Teen Titans Go!, why is it for every good episode yah gotta churn out so many more bad or mediocre ones? I mean, yes, at this point, the show has become over-hated, especially after the whole "Island Adventures" mini-arc, but even so, it gives me a lot to talk about in terms of reviews. I wouldn't call this show even among the worst of the 2010’s by a long shot, and there were cartoons in the 1970’s much worse than this.
Fangface and all the other
Scooby-Doo rip-offs in particular come to mind. But it's clear that after roughly 150 episodes, the show refuses to really grow beyond pissing people off.
I am fully aware that the more negativity people like me give the show, the more likely it is to do bad things in the future. This show is like a troll that THRIVES off criticism and complaining. That being said, episodes such as this are inexcusable regardless of a show's reputation. Gross-out is not one of
Teen Titans Go!'s strong suits (as the episode "Hot Garbage" proved), but this is one of those episodes I REALLY WANT MrEnter to review himself just to watch him overblow everything and get unpleasant! This is definitely the nastiest episode of the show, purely because of all the fucking drool! Drool normally doesn't bother me, especially when there's nastier stuff to offset it like in the bad
SpongeBob episode "Squid Baby", but here, because of the poor animation quality, the way the Titans look without teeth and drool coming from their mouths is just nasty! They all decide after a lengthy amount of filler to abuse the tooth fairy for major dough, since he/she pays more money for permanent teeth, and this episode is a rip-off combo of the bad
Powerpuff Girls episode "Moral Decay" and the good
Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "The Creature from Plaque Lagoon", and does everything they did so much worse!
While "Moral Decay" was a bad episode all-around because Buttercup got greedy and started beating villains for no reason just to abuse tooth fairy money, on some level she got karma for what she did, even at the expense of ruining Blossom and Bubbles. And "The Creature from Plaque Lagoon" was gross, but it made up for it with really good jokes and even did the gross-out creatively. With "Dignity of Teeth", we get none of that, and the Titans just LUSTING over teeth so they can feed their sick habits!
Making a toothless character look appealing is something very hard to accomplish, believe it or not. Beyond regular old people and babies, you have to make it so you don't draw too much attention to how nasty exposed gums would really be with nothing for them to hold in. Take Tommy Pickles from
Rugrats: he's got no teeth and he's not gross at all, especially since the later episodes rarely shows his gums. There's also Popeye the Sailor, and it's honestly barely noticeable unless you're really focusing on the mouth; he's usually shown to not have any teeth whatsoever unless it's for like a gag until about 1950 or so where he got teeth regularly. On the side of having very few teeth, there's Jimmy from
Ed, Edd n Eddy, wherein later episodes he's seen with a lot of missing teeth revealed to have been caused by one of Eddy's scams.
The Titans without teeth are just plain creepy, and they even look like total creeps once they go to the Tooth Fairy's house to rob him of all the teeth he took. And he's a fucking creep too! His home is a slum loaded with teeth littered like garbage, like you'd expect from a dirty bum, and going by his behavior, he seems to have a sexual fetish for teeth in general, going so far as to EAT THEM! And yes, I know some animals eat their teeth, but not like this; definitely, absolutely not like this! He's not like the tooth fairies from
Hellboy, which had a reason to dig through teeth; he's just a nasty creepy creep! I would honestly NEVER eat teeth to saves the teeth of those creeps! Raven may have the most sanity most of the time, but she's also the most confused, why does she care enough to save their teeth again? Can't she just move or, y'know, KILL THEM to stop being creepy? It's not like anyone could stop her and I know she's fantasizes about the deed.
I have no idea if this is how an odontophile would behave in real life, but the idea of such a lust for teeth is nasty! Anyone know if this is how people with tooth fetishes act? The episode wanted to teach something about not letting greed get the better of you, but all I saw was nasty toothless creeps wanting sex for money.
