Joey, Marky and Dee Dee (Oggy and the Cockroaches, season 5)

The Cockroaches (Joey, Marky, and Dee Dee) are three of the main characters as well as the main antagonists of the French animated series Oggy and the Cockroaches. They are a trio of cockroaches who annoy and pick on Oggy (a blue cat), and he has to deal with their various antics. Sadly, they were flanderized during Season 5.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The main problems with their flanderizations are that their new personalities go against the ones which were already established and that they got either replaced by clichéd stereotypes that make them blander, like Dee Dee becoming more of a fat idiot than before, or that their traits became exaggerated, like Marky and Joey's cowardice being taken up to eleven.
 * 2) Something that made them unique from one another was the amount of detail in their expressions, movements, and reactions, but now each one of the trio act exactly the same, and nobody stands out despite their looks and their personalities, even if it's not essentially the writer's fault for this, but the drastic change of animation style.
 * 3) Their laughs started to become much more obnoxious and ear-piercing than before.
 * 4) They even tried to murder Oggy and friends a couple of times and kept getting them working for their leader.
 * 5) They began to betray each other and start getting into fights which is something they normally didn’t do in the previous seasons.
 * 6) They were usually miscast as villains for most episodes since their roles as villains or anti-heroes were depicted in an inconsistent manner, making them lack focus as the villains.
 * 7) They also turned into huge punching bags in Season 5 where they have the least amount of wins, unlike the other seasons. Yes, they were also punching bags during the fourth season, but it was never taken this far.
 * 8) Despite their moments of getting punished here and there, they sometimes never get comeuppance for their actions, making them Karma Houdinis to some extent.

Good Qualities

 * 1) They were much better characters in Seasons 1-4 and they become a lot more tolerable as of Season 6-7.
 * 2) There were still some moments where they can be funny.
 * 3) They usually do get punished for most of their actions.
 * 4) This season did give some of the cockroaches character development, especially for Marky.
 * 5) They still care for Oggy; for one instance, they weren't so happy when the former got married.
