Blog:Norm of the North: Pickle Ice Cream Sandwich

Norm of the North: Pickle Ice Cream Sandwich is a 2135 computer-animated comedy film. It is the 99th sequel to the Norm of the North franchise.

Plot
Norm finds a talking pickle ice cream sandwich, and decides to rescue it. However, it then turns out the pickle ice cream sandwich is evil.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The film's existence makes no sense whatsoever, as even the first film was panned by critics; regardless, it is absolutely ridiculous to make 100 sequels to a film, especially one that isn't even good nor well-received by critics.
 * 2) The animation is still terrible, even after 119 years.
 * 3) None of the characters are likable, in fact, some are flanderized:
 * 4) * Norm's grandfather was originally one of the few redeeming characters in Norm of the North, but now he's just an asshole who won't see his grandson on his 100th birthday. Not to mention it doesn't make sense that he's still alive considering that he got cancer in the 95th film and the doctor said he was going to die soon, but after not being in the past few films, he is still alive and doesn't have cancer. Sure he could've got rid of his cancer but this is never mentioned.
 * 5) * While Vera was never that likable, she at least was a decent person, but now she's literally a murderer for some reason.
 * 6) * Huno was likable in the previous film, as he was a reasonably kind character, but now he hates Norm for some reason and also thinks everyone's ideas are stupid, so much that he has two well-known quotes: "What a stupid idea!" and "That's so stupid!".
 * 7) All of the jokes are terrible. For example, one  of the jokes is "What do you call an apple crossed with a banana?" and the answer is "Applebanana!" which is not funny at all, just corny and lazy.
 * 8) The plot is extremely boring and stupid, as the movie is about a talking pickle ice cream sandwich. Seriously?
 * 9) Despite that the film is rated G, there are some inappropriate lines:
 * 10) * "I don't give a shit anymore! Leave me alone!" - Use of the word shit, which is a swear word that means feces.
 * 11) * "Who's the stupidest ass in the world?" - Use of the word ass, which is a swear word that means anus.
 * 12) * "You look like shit! Literally!" - Same problems as #1. Also, this is extremely racist.
 * 13) The actors do a terrible job like they do in every Norm of the North film, but this is arguably some of the worst acting ever.
 * 14) False advertising for four reasons:
 * 15) * The poster has Mr. Greenie on it, even though he isn't featured in this film, nor is he even mentioned.
 * 16) * It has Norm wearing a small, yellow backpack, even though in the film, Norm does not have a backpack at all.
 * 17) * It has Huno waving from the school bus, even though the film is set in the school holidays, and Huno doesn't go to school at all in the film, nor is the bus seen.
 * 18) ** In fact, the only thing related to the school seen in the film is Huno's half-sister, who despite being Huno's half-sister, Huno first saw her in his classroom due to the fact that she got lost one day in the past.
 * 19) * It has Norm's great uncle John on it, despite the fact that he died in the previous film and is not even mentioned in this film.
 * 20) * Olympia appears on the poster in a black oversized suit despite that she doesn't wear it in the movie. In fact, Olympia is barely in the movie at all.
 * 21) Some of the film's jokes are racist, such as the line "You look like shit! Literally!" that was previously mentioned on WIS#6Q#3.
 * 22) The film is way too long, as it goes for 150 minutes.
 * 23) The soundtrack is horrible and not appropriate for the target audience, with songs like "Do The Polar Bear" (both the original and the Eminem cover) and "The Happy New Year Song 2.0".

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Olympia is a likable character and unlike the others, is not flanderized in any way.

Reception
The film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who criticized it for its lazy and nonsensical humour and the fact that all of the characters (except Olympia) were flanderized, but admitted it was one of the better films as it turned out to be a so bad, it's good movie. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a critics' score of 25% and an audience score of 10%. The site's consensus states "It's not the worst Norm of the North film out there, but it does indeed have terrible humour and most of the characters have changed their personalities completely". On Metacritic, it has a 38 out of 100, indicating "generally unfavourable reviews".
