Dead Man's Drop (Kick Buttowski)

"Dead Man's Drop" is the first half of the first episode in the first season of Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil.

Plot
Kick keeps trying to show everyone that he can beat Dead Man's Drop ramp. The only barrier that is in his way is his older brother Brad, who wants to keep him inside the house so he could take another driver's test.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) First of all, this was the episode that started off Kick Buttowski, meaning that we get introduced to the stunt-loving Kick, his best friend Gunther, his short-tempered older brother Brad, and so much more!
 * 2) The plot is very creative here, as it has Kick trying to beat the Dead Man's Drop ramp to prove everyone else wrong.
 * 3) The fight Kick and Brad have is entertaining to watch.
 * 4) Kick tries his best to beat the Dead Man's Drop ramp despite failing, and he stands up to Brad by giving him an armburn, gave him a wedgie and despite him losing the fight to Brad, he doesn't give up and still goes out of his way to beat the Dead Man's Drop ramp. While Gunther helps Kick by sticking some chewed gum on some boards for Kick to stunt - which is impressive and so is his lady disguise.
 * 5) Good ending: Kick finally beats the Dead Man's drop ramp, and gets congratulated by everyone. Then, we cut to Brad at the house getting his comeuppance with Kick says to him "say cheese" and said it'll be an Internet classic, and it ends with Gunther saying that he realized Brad had no pants on.
 * 6) “Fail, I don’t do Fail.”

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Brad filmed Kick falling off the ramp and him almost naked, won the fight against the latter and barricaded his room, and. three Kick's board to the ground.
 * 2) Some toilet/gross-out humor here, such as Brad farting in one scene and Gunther taking chewed gum out of his mouth and a girl's mouth to use as a board for Kick.
