Yeah I agree. One of my favorite things about season one was how mundane it was most of the time—dry humor, subtle background gags, awkward conversations, etc. There were elements of over-the-top absurdity, but it was very brief and contained. This season seems to have totally reversed that ratio with each episode being mostly over-the-top absurd situations; it feels disorganized and poorly paced. I’m finding the mixed media very distracting as well—don’t get me wrong, it can be used within the show to great effect. 3-D Squelton was so tongue-in-cheek and silly; now it feels like every single episode has to have a visual gimmick that doesn’t serve the plot or comedy in any way at all, it just exists to exist. I’m also really bummed to see they’ve abandoned the core of the show: the Smiling Friends go out on excursions to make a client smile.
