It looks exactly the same except everything is shitty CGI

Also the characters move and talk now ;_;

 

[RandyBobandy]

Ah, not fireman Sam

 

[Mr-Joker]

Guys when was the last time you actually watched any of those show?

Honestly I am not too fussed about the design, sure I don't like it but I am not the target market so it doesn't affect me.

 

[jambo]

From the company that brought you

Sam, what have they done to you? =[

I'm not sure if I want today's children becoming immune to fear. They could turn powerful. Dangerous.

 

[Dead Man]

He looks like a forty year-old five year-old

Yeah, not a fan. He shouldn't have a childs face, shit is creepy.

People are just commenting on the design. nobody's genuinely bent out of shape over it.

Definitely. He has the body of a man, but the face of a child--like he's a male version of Selena Gomez.

 

[Loxley]

Now all they need to do is snag a Happy Meal tie-in and the creepy-factor will be off the charts.

jesus christ why

 

[Sou Da]

I always found it creepy that the entire town is named after his father, who is also called 'Bob'

 

[DJ_Lae]

Just polled my 2 and 4 year old daughters over which design they prefer - the old one. It was unanimous.

Didn't comment on it being creepy, though, my oldest just said she didn't like the new one.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

He rolled up his sleeves. New Bob is hardcore. He's about to get into some shit.

 

[davepoobond]

They need to make him fatter. How are people supposed to relate to this guy...

 

[samoscratch]

 

[electroflame]

Spoiler

This was my original idea, but his mouth didn't look right...

 

[Escape Goat]

He's got to knock out the drywall and cut the tile for the bathroom before close of business cuz his contractor is dragging his feet in securing materials.

Came here for the "Can we fix it?" jokes. Was not disappointed.

Christ, I just imagined how Spud looks now.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Reading this thread I'm not sure if new Bob is an adult or kid.

 

[Five]

Holy shit

Or hey maybe we could come up with new ideas instead of ruining old ones

There is no "existing market" anymore when preschool kids from your first target market are now choosing colleges

 

[AlucardGV]

awful change. all my nopes

 

[Fuzzy]

Now that's a change I can get behind.

Don't you mean "in front of"?

 

[Zombine]

I just hope he remembers to pull all his permits.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Omg what is this?!! Why would do this? Who looked at this and said that it's a better design than the original? That looks so unbelievably creepy. ._.

 

[HuskerDutheDu]

Bae

 

[Hours Left]

Don't you mean "in front of"?

It works both ways.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I asked my four year old which he likes better, he picked the new one.

 

[Mask]

Shit, he looks like a 12 year old John C. Reilly!

Wonder what Pilchard the Cat, Spud the Scarecrow and the female cement mixer look like?

 

[Valhelm]

oh mercy

 

[Not]

If you tell him that one is bad though he'll believe it until at least puberty because NO CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS YET

The Parental Advantage™

 

[jwk94]

First Stephanie and now Bob? Seriously though, he looks creepy.

 

[Prisoner]

The stuff of nightmares.

 

[Sch1sm]

Can we fix it?

Yes but should we?

This. Sometimes classic is good to keep around. Now he just frightens me. Reminds me of little man now: secretly middle aged, imposing as a tot:

 

[CountAntonius]

He looks like a forty year-old five year-old

 

[CrankyKong]

Uh, yeah, I think not

 

[Loudninja]

Sounds like a romantic comedy.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Now that's a change I can get behind.

He might get behind you too actually


OT: God it looks like a bad spinoff for the Chucky series of movies

 

[Whom_Gods_Annoy]

Oh my goooooooooood.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

he looks like he's on the cover of an edutainment game you buy at Staples
