Why He Sucks

 * 1) He makes a very unlikable protagonist in the films.
 * 2) He only seems to care about himself rather than the other animals.
 * 3) He is a huge jerk to Andie and Grayson.
 * 4) He overuses the Gangnam Style song to the point where it gets old.
 * 5) He destroys the tree where all the park animals lived as well as their food storage.
 * 6) He keeps making lame and unfunny nut puns.
 * 7) He even farted after eating cheese from the mouse traps.
 * 8) He feels like a ripoff of RJ from Over the Hedge.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He did redeem himself during the last half of the first film where he states that he will continue to help the park animals by finding them more food.
 * 2) Will Arnett did a great job voicing him.
 * 3) His personality did slightly improve in the sequel, but not a whole lot.
 * 4) He does care for Buddy.
 * 5) His design is good.
 * 6) He isn’t as bad at being the main protagonist as Reggie, Gene, or even Norm.
