It's my one of my favorite animated shows. From the animation to the voices and characters it's a hilarious show. The stories are basic but something about it has charm that other shows just don't have. It's def dated at times but it's still a great watch.

I've always loved this show due to its stupidity and friendship of kick and Gunther. Also the voices are great. It's simply simple that's all. And I write this review due to another reviewer literally writing a essay!! It's a cartoon relax...
The writers knew what they were doing. And it shows

This show is about a kid who tries to be the most badass daredevil on earth while living in the suburbs. So what do the writers do with it? Have him be awesome in a mundane setting. Missed the school bus? Rock-music-powered windsurf to get to school on time. Yeah. I didn't make that up. That scene perfectly sums up the entire show. The guitar riffs sound like something straight out of AC/DC. It's epic
Fun and OK in the Starting, Mediocre on the finishing

When i Previewed Kick Buttowski, I though that the show will be boring , but i was surprised because this cartoon want to be EXTREME or something, and I liked the action in the show.
The designs and animation are OK
The Characters are pretty likable, Kick (Clarence his real name) is a boy who wants to be a suburban daredevil, and Gunther, he is a Norway Boy, he is the Kick's best friend and he can be mysterious or gross, because he fart
But why am saying that the show is mediocre, simply because in the second season the characters have a exaggerated personalities, to the point that we can call FLANDERIZATION, especially family suffers and that could get tired much like me
It's not recommendatory, but i recommend the first season
5/10

One of the best shows

I don't know about other countries but this show has a seperate fan base in India. The telugu(a South Indian language) dubbed version of this show has such a huge fan base that 3 out of 5 teens will definitely be a knowing this show. Especially Kick's mannerisms, his friend Gunther, and the way the characters are written is awesome.... Really, one of the best shows ever made
Funnier than Disney's new shows

I love this show, it's extremely funny and really entertaining, so entertaining you'd rather watch this than the newer shows on Disney (2011-present). It was made to make people laugh EVEN MORE than they'd laugh at Shake It Up! (More like F*ck It Up!) Austin & Ally, Jessie, A.N.T. Farm (How about T.R.A.S.H. Fart?), and the other new Disney shows that are worse than Justin Bieber (NOT counting Gravity Falls or Wander Over Yonder, they rock). Kick Buttowski is one of the best shows on Disney, and it's MILLIONS of BILLION times better than Sam & Cat (More like Spam & Brat, those are great names for those dumb whores). If you're bored, this is the CORRECT show for you to watch.
Pain In The Buttowski -.-

Back in 2010, Disney XD premiered this show on the channel. I didn't really watch it mainly because I didn't have the channel. Having sat through half the first season on Disney+, it pains me to say this is NOT an underrated gem I missed out on the decade prior. What we have her is a decently animated cartoon with terrible writing, unfunny humor and a cast of characters that is neither likable nor interesting.
Created by Sandro Corsaro (who would later become the Chief Creative Executive of Fandango), the show follows the titular daredevil as he performs outlandish while living in the town of Mellowbrook. He's accompanied by his best friend, Gunther, and faces many contrivances in his day to day life. I say contrivances instead of obstacles because the first major problem with the show is the conflicts are always forced. In the episode If Books Could Kill, Kick gets his signed book accidentally placed in the book return slot at the library. Instead of waiting until the next day or the librarian simply giving the book (which is NOT property of the library) back, the episode just has Kick break into the library and it's just 11 minutes of mayhem over a book that should've been properly returned in the first place. Episodes like Flush and Release, Snowpacolypse, and Trike X-5 also have the conflict happen due to unbelievable and contrived ways, just to get to the stunt scenes as quickly as possible. Not helping is the fact that it's painfully unfunny. With only 1 or 2 clever gags, most of the jokes are tired, predictable and eye roll inducing. It relies mostly on weak slapstick, cringy puns and a lot of gross out.
As much as I tried to find an actual good character in this show, most of the cast is dull at best and just insufferable at worst. Starting with the title character, Kick is a daredevil...and that's it. His character begins and ends with him being a daredevil who eats, breathes and sleeps adrenalin fueled stunts. His friend, Gunther, isn't much better as he's just there to provide most of the failed gross out humor and be Kick's wing man. The only thing this character has going for him is the vocal performance of Matt Jones (more on that later), and that's not a good sign. Then there's Mr. Vickle, who's the friendly neighbor of Kick and doesn'thate Kick'sstunts as much as everyone else. Had he be in more of the show, I'd say he'd be one of the few bright spots. Not that it would help much as everyone else in Mellowbrook is AWFUL! Kick's parents are one dimensional dimwitts that clearly show favoritism to Kick's sister. Speaking of, I despise Brianna just by her look alone. She's spoiled, selfish, rude, obnoxious and egotistical. Kendall is a spoiled tramp that convinced her father to keep school open on a snow day (if a kid got killed, your father would've gone to jail; hope it was were it -.-), Oskar's just a bad dog, Gunter's parents are stereotypical Nordic people, Glenn just wants to see Kick get in trouble but he never does and Jackie is a stalker who should given a restraining order and not be within 1,000 milles of Kick.
Then there's Kick's older brother, Brad. This character...this freaking character! Like Mitch Williams from Glitch Techs, he single handedly brings this show down a point. He's mean, rude, obnoxious, annoying and pathetic. He frequently calls Kick and Gunther dillweeds, he beats Kick up every chance he gets, he lies to his parents constantly and he's never sorry for any of it. Throughout all the episodes he's appeared in, I kept asking the same question over and over and never get a clear answer: what the flop is Brad's problem?! As the oldest, Brad should be looking out for his brother and setting a good example. Brad should be the first person Kick trusts after Mom and Dad. Brad should NOT under any circumstance be a bully to his brother. I'm a brother and when I made fun of my siblings or hit them in any way, I rightfully got in trouble. There is NO excuse for Brad to be this nasty. If there was an early draft in which Brad and Kick weren't actually related, the creators should've went with that instead of this.
The voice acting from the veteran actors is pretty solid all things considered. For one note as most of the characters are, actors like John DiMaggio, Grey DeLisle, Jeff Bennet and Richard Steven Horvitz were all fairly good in their respective roles. I even though Matt Jones gave a pretty good performance as Gunther as he really sells each line and seems like he was having fun. I also think actors like Brian Doyle-Murray, Kari Walhgren, and Emily Osment were alright in their performances. As much as I despise Brad, Danny Cooksey really shined as the character, making him sound so nasty and surprisingly distinct from his previous antagonist roles such as Hotstreak from Static Shock or Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown. Charlie Schlatter as Kick though was not so good unfortunately. Schlatter sounded less like a daredevil and more like what a non-Sonic fan thinks Shadow The Hedgehog sounds like. He also didn't exert much personality and his tone didn't change based on the character's performance.
Visually, this show looks pretty good and it's clear this is where the creators wanted to hook the audience the most. The character designs are very distint with spherical heads, round eyes and different body types. The character animation is fluid and each character has a smooth walk cycle. The backgrounds are very well detailed as Mellowbrook looks like a real small town with shops, an abandoned bridge and a cul-de-sac. The animation really kicks into high gear during the stunt scenes with some use of 3D animation that blends very well with the 2D.
Kick Buttowski is yet another unfortunate example of concept over execution. Despite pretty good animation and not too shabby vocal performances from the veteran voice actors, the show is still plagued by terrible writing, an insufferable cast of characters, weak humor and a dull leading performance from Charlie Schlatter. Best to just avoid this and watch Wander Over Yonder instead.

Funny and extreme!

I have to say, cartoons made in Flash appear on Disney XD more and more often. First there was Kid vs Kat, then Jimmy Two-shoes and now Kick Buttowski. I have to say, I didn't expect much from the first two, but when I saw the trailer for KB, I was all hyped up - awesome music, head-crashing everywhere, and god knows what else. When I first saw it, I was at a half of an episode, but I LOVED IT! Kick has a high, rough voice, which always cracks me up because he is only 8 (lol), his friend Gunther is a total comic relief, while everyone else seems too generic. Kick's sister Brianna is incredibly annoying and his mom and dad are just as stupid as ones from "Fairly Odd Parents". Basically, there is no true plot - it's just a kid that wants to be the most badass stuntman/daredevil ever, and finds LOTS of ways to show that. Gunther is his helper, and likes extremeness as much as Kich, however, he's often afraid of his stunts. The look of the show is absolutely the same as other Flash cartoons on Disney XD - fast animation, thick outlines and deformed bodies. If they are making a completely new cartoon, why not at least TRY to modernize it? Biscuits! (when you watch it, you'll know what I mean) Besides these flaws, it's a great cartoon. Funny, fast, and extreme, Kick Buttowski will always set you in a good mood.
10/10
