Review: Crash and Bernstein ‘Action Zero’

Spoilers Below

Crash is usually talking smack to everyone about beating them at everything like wrestling and whatnot despite the fact that it’s pretty obvious that everyone just sort of lets him win. His ego gets so big that he has to appear on live TV and defeat Wyatt’s hero, a ridiculous action star named ‘Jake’.

Crash gets on TV and ‘beats’ Wyatt’s TV hero Jake in an arm-wrestling competition which certainly doesn’t help his ego. Wyatt eventually shows Crash that he typically lets the puppet win every time and Jake did the same. Wyatt convinces Cleo to have Amanda fake a stage dive so that Jake doesn’t look silly on TV and Crash doesn’t lose a contest like a chump. On the day of the contest, Jake ends up saving Pesto instead of Amanda of whom landed on the floor. Jake ends up tearing apart Crash literally limb from limb. Thankfully, the head of Crash fights back which causes his ego to be saved.

This episode was a little better than last night’s, but not by much. I think even on his worst day, Sam J. Jones never mailed it in as Flash Gordon to the extent of this Jake guy. I will say Amanda was pretty funny although her falling off the balcony was the fakest special effect I’ve seen since the film Jeepers Creepers where you could literally see the zipper on the monster’s costume. Standard premises all around, as the title of the episode hints this one had Zero Action.
