Why Oddballs scores this way

Co-created by YouTuber James Rallison, this series follows an oval-shaped boy and his crocodile best friend through absurd everyday misadventures. Fast, surreal comedy with rapid gags and some gross-out and cartoon-peril humor; broadly silly and aimed at school-age kids and tweens.
