(Tory laying on his desk in complete depression, then he stands his head up in a pissed off mood.)
Let's get this over with, Stressed Eric! One of the shows where... no one really cared for it. It only ran for 13 episodes, and had two seasons. Meaning, it only had 7 episodes in the first season, then two years latter it came out with 6 more so they could just be done with the show. It follows a 40 year old single dad named Eric, in the UK verison, he's played by Mark Heap. However, when NBC got ahold of the show, he was replaced by Hank Azaria. Hold up.

(pulls out a filing system and digs through some names.)

Let's see, Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardly Smith, Brad Bird, and.... Ah, here we go, Hank Azaria.*as he pulls out a file that says, Simpsons jokes (H. Azaria.)* Alright, Eric is always stressed and has two kids who make his life hell, and Karma always comes to bit him in the ass. So, what episode did I pick for this show? An episode called, Pony! Cause why the hell not?

The Review:
_____________
This episode starts with his Daughter, Clair, playing Pony rides with the house keeper Maria who's getting drunk. Great start people. We then see Eric trying to pay for widow cleaning with all failed attempts at jokes and a scene that goes on way to long. The only thing that happens is that he goes into Clair's room, and tries to break her piggy bank. After he gets some money from it, the Widow guy just walks away.

"Thank you, come again. Always shop at the Kwik E Mart, or I'll sing about how I miss it."

Just try me Azaria, I still got Moe and Carl to Cletus and Duff Man!  Eh, since I'm already at it.

Starting to see how he accepted this role now. Anyways, the next scene is the widow-washer not even paying Eric's neighbor's the Perfect Family. No seriously, that's their last names, Perfect..... I'm gonna hate them at the end of this, aren't I? Anyways, he tries to clear his mess, and ends up finding Clair's Diary which keeps saying she wants a Pony. Also, a running joke about a chemistry set causing hell in his place. When there's a plot point, why can't he just get rid of it when it just hurts him in the entire episode. Where you might see the instant problem with this show, all the jokes they have involve one thing, everything must hurt Eric. You can see every joke, like for example, what do you think this episodes about entirely with both plots. Yes, Eric getting a tourtured cause of getting a Pony for Clair and the chemistry set. But hey, give him credit, he's a better dad then Cletus.

In fact, with how annoying his kids are, I'm suprised that he doesn't do this.

Come at me Hank, I got a butt load more of these just screaming... "Use me! No Screw you, Use me!" Okay, back to the episode, with nothing but filler, Eric tries to find a Pony for Clair and ends up getting a Donkey for her. Which, I feel completely bad for this thing. Like, even Fluttershy would wanna take it out in the woods and take care of it. Like, I can see Hank ripping on this thing in the worst way possible.

Start at 0:47 ends at 1:12
But, Clair seems to love it. So she decieds to enter it in a Gymkhana, which is a sport for a kids Equestrian.... At a school... I understand it's British but... why would they have it at a school? It kind of doesn't make since, but maybe there's something I'm missing. Oh and to add on the 
chemistry set, Maria gets either drunk or high from her messing with the set and she doesn't get fired or anything. So that was pointless until the end, the Maria side at least.  So they take the Donkey to the event and Eric shoves his hand up the Donkey's ass and the Perfect family just mocks him. I hate them sooo much!

But Eric's other kid, sees the 
chemistry set destroyed and cause reasons, he decieds to bring it to the event and has no motavations ever to do such thing. Like, he doesn't even say a word and... we're suppose to go along with it. Anyways, the son gives the chemicals to the Donkey, and that makes him strong enough to be in the Gymkhana. Well, okay it was predictable yes, but it was a good ending at least and nothing bad happened to... *See's it blow up.*

Yeah, that's how it ends. With the donkey blowing up, and a stress thing on Erics head, literally straggles him. Why, I have no idea. Cause he ends up like the last Hank Azaria character.

This was the reason why I choose this episode to review, cause if they didn't make it blow up and have Eric win in the end, it might have been alright. But no, this sucks, like this entire show sucks.

Final Thoughts/ Grade:
_______________________
So how bad is Stressed Eric. It's bad, like insanely bad. There's shows that are bent around just hurting one person, and then there's this where it has nothing good about it. The Characters are bland and annoying, however could be worse to be honest. Even with a good voice Actor like Hank Azaria sounds really annoying. In fact, to end the jokes, I bet this is how he got out of Stressed Eric.

Alright, I'm done with the Simpsons jokes. My final grade for this is a F-. 

Sorry, if this was a short review. But, I had work to do and am working on the Overwatch Parody. So.... See ya next time and... you know, I haven't seen this file in a long time. I wonder want else is in it? (As he opens it up and pops out Hanks old photo of "Along came Poly.") Ahhhh, damn it! It burns.

Spike/Kai: What does?

As the photo fly's around Spike and Kai, amking them cover their eyes in fear.

Tory(Screaming): Why did you do this to us Mr. Azaria?

(as we cut to a man spining in a chair and it's reveled to be Hank Azaria laughing hard.)

Hank Azaria: Cause he said it best, "Come at me bro!" Besides, I'm a dick!

Next Bad Review: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Series, not the movie I love the movie.)
Next good review: One Punch Man.
