REVIEW: CRASH and BERNSTEIN “MOTORCYCLE CRASH”

Crash sets a new record on a motorcycle video game and rubs the victory in Pesto’s face, who previously held the best score.

Spoilers Below

Evidently, Wyatt is so damn busy that Crash & Pesto need to have a competition of who can be Wyatt’s best friend as I guess the kid can’t have two. Turns out Pesto doesn’t like Crash much because he ruins every game between him and Wyatt. Hell, they nearly brawl over a game of Go Fish! After much thinking it over, Cleo actually pitches an idea to her brother Wyatt…force Crash and Pesto to hang out all the time so that they HAVE to like each other. The competition comes to a head when Pesto and Crash start playing a motorcycle game, and BAM they get the high score and become pals but now Wyatt’s the odd man out. Yep, three’s a crowd and Crash has no time for Wyatt and his BS and even takes off with Pesto to go to a wrestling match. Later on in the day, Wyatt teams up with his new robot to take on the motorcycle game and reclaim the top score, but the droid breaks down and team Cresto takes the other bike and helps take up the NEW high score with all three dudes making the wall of fame.

Meanwhile, Crash and Cleo have ruined the couch and they need to fix it before Mel gets home.  Of course when she does get home, Mel suspects something’s up because Crash and Cleo are trying every which way to make sure she doesn’t sit on the sofa. Crash and Cleo decide that the best action is to trap someone to sit on the couch so they can blame the couch breaking on whom ever sits on it. Eventually, the duo comes clean and Mel find out who broke the sofa.

I kinda missed this show during the X-mas break, but this week was so-so for me. The main plot with the three boys was entertaining but Pesto comes off as SO douchey that its hard for me to get into his character. Crash is always oodles of fun and he carries both storylines pretty well, but I thought the sofa plot was obviously tossed together in 5 minutes and as a result probably didn’t need to be in there.
