Combo Panda (Ryan's World)

Combo Panda is a major character from Ryan's World. A panda clad only in a pair of red headphones, he's a gamer who plays various games such as Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Roblox and Fortnite. He is voiced by Bradley William Smith.

Why He's Not a Hardcore Gamer

 * 1) To start things off, the main problem with his character as a whole is that he's seen as an overreacting, neurotic gamer who suffers from OCD, and is often a stereotypical, bratty, immature, mean-spirited panda. Particularly, he whines and throws a tantrum over everything, whether it be accidentally destroying an easy looking puzzle or losing a video game.
 * 2) He is treated like a Butt-Monkey by the other characters, such as:
 * 3) * Only getting a 4/10 score at the Science fair.
 * 4) * Getting turned into a rabbit by Gus the Gator because he struggled to use his magic wand.
 * 5) * Being threatened to be eaten by BigFoot, another generic yet kind character that's also from Ryan's World.
 * 6) * Throughout the entirety of one episode, he gets injured through comical ways while trying to teach two other characters how to play soccer.
 * 7) * There is also an entire episode dedicated to Combo being bullied by the other characters because of how bad his older videos were.
 * 8) He acts like an idiot at times, like when he used the same science experiment in the same science fair two years in a row because he thought "Pepsi and Coke were different", when the former is a brand of Coke.
 * 9) * He also fails to follow pool rules throughout one episode, but does not get punished for it, also making him a Karma Houdini.
 * 10) His design, while cute for the most part, is generic, as it is just a Panda with headphones.
 * 11) Strangely enough, it even looks like he's happy when he rages. This is due to bad editing/animation.
 * 12) The fact he is a Panda with red headphones makes him look like a rip-off of Alpha Jay's avatar from The Alpha Jay Show.
 * 13) His appearance in Ryan's Mystery Playdate was pointless. All he did was make these cringey, unfunny, unoriginal and lazy jokes.
 * 14) He also tries way too hard to be hip and cool, like dabbing for no reason in this video.
 * 15) His channel claims to be "made for kids" as the videos are automatically marked by YouTube as such, yet he plays games like Fortnite and Bendy and the Ink Machine which are not intended for younger audiences at all.
 * 16) He smashed his head on his keyboard when he got angry once. That could injure his head, as well as damage the keyboard.
 * 17) He somewhat lacks any personality whatsoever to the point where he is one-dimensional, and in addition, his characterization is poorly written at times.
 * 18) He could be seen as a ripoff of AVGN, due to him having anger issues, though he doesn't swear because his channel is for kids.
 * 19) He has been shown to bully others around him such as:
 * 20) * He, along with Gus, made fun of Moe (another Ryan's World character) for being scared of a playground slide.
 * 21) Speaking of which, he treats Peck, the only likable character from Ryan's World like a Butt-Monkey, here are some examples.
 * 22) * He bullies him on Twitter, making fun of his appearance and bullies him for being smart.
 * 23) * There is one episode which there is a scene where Peck faints. Combo just stands there and laughs at him.
 * 24) * He often messes up with Peck's inventions for no reason.
 * 25) * He even told Peck to shut up, which is disrespectful.
 * 26) He flirts with Alpha Lexa in one episode. When they meet each other (as cardboard), Combo says "Looking a little stiff there Alpha!"
 * 27) He is an overused character in Ryan's World, while the other characters are often neglected because of that.
 * 28) Because of the aforementioned reasons, he is one of the most hated characters in the show and (arguably) one of the worst characters to ever exist in a kids' show. This is to the point that it makes him a Scrappy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His gaming channel can be considered decent enough, especially his older videos where he is a bit more tolerable.
 * 2) He does apologize for his mistakes, and he does receive comeuppance for his actions sometimes.
 * 3) As mentioned above, while generic, his design is pretty cool.
 * 4) As the channel went on, he started to act very nice to Peck.
 * 5) While he is a Butt-Monkey, it's not that he doesn’t deserve it considering how much of a jerk he can be, and overall, he is definitely meant to be hated on for everything else mentioned above.
