User blog:AnimationFan15/Bomb Poll Rankings

I thought this would be fun to do, since the reception for episodes vary between the poll on the home page, and the users here.

Basically, starting with the July 2017 bomb, I'll be comparing the results of the poll on the home page with the reception from the users of this wiki.

​July 2017

 * What most users considered the best episode: "Job Insecurity"
 * Reasons why: It's heartwarming, Mr. Grouse being humorous, and being a "game changer".
 * What most users considered the worst episode: "Change of Heart"
 * Reasons why: Clyde didn't get over his crush on Lori, Lori wanting Clyde to love her just so she can say "thanks" to him every now and then, and Leni's efforts in helping being completely worthless.

AF15's comment: "Well, looks like the three so-called 'weak' episodes ended up being the most popular. Possible proof that we think backwards?"
 * 1) Lynner Takes All - 186 votes (45.15%)
 * 2) Garage Banned - 103 votes (25%)
 * 3) Change of Heart - 45 votes (10.92%)
 * 4) Job Insecurity - 39 votes (9.47%)
 * 5) Health Kicked - 21 votes (5.1%)
 * 6) ARGGH! You For Real? - 18 votes (4.37%)
 * 7) Total votes: 412

September 2017

 * What most users considered the best episode: "Friend or Faux?"
 * Reasons why: It's adorable, Darcy's role, and Lisa learning a lesson, unlike "Snow Bored" and "Making the Grade".
 * What most users considered the worst episode: "No Laughing Matter"
 * Reasons why: The plot being too generic, and Luan is unlikeable.
 * About the second reason, the episode is expecting us to feel bad for Luan, since she's giving up on comedy, but it's hard to feel bad for her if she's constantly pulling pranks on everyone else. To me, I find that ridiculous, becasue Luan was pranking for a reason: to show off her stuff for her gig. Becasue of the siblings' complaints, she completely lost interest in something she was so eager to attend, and you can't help but feel bad for her.

AF15's comments:
 * 1) No Laughing Matter - 189 votes (60.19%)
 * 2) Friend or Faux? - 76 votes (24.2%)
 * 3) Yes Man - 33 votes (10.51%)
 * 4) Future Tense - 16 votes (5.1%)
 * 5) Total votes: 314
 * "Once again, unpopular opinion rules supreme, and there's no denying it."
 * "Even if "Friend or Faux?" was my favorite of the bomb, I'm glad "No Laughing Matter" is #1, because I think it's the best Luan episode I've seen."

October 2017

 * What most users considered the best episode: "No Spoilers"
 * Reasons why: It's about Leni, 'nuff said.
 * What most users considered the worst episode: "Not a Loud"
 * Reasons why: It has a running joke that gets really repetitive, it's a Clincoln McCloud episode (seriously, haters?), and the backstory being something a 5 year old would make.

AF15's comment: "It's ironic that the one episode that stars everyone's favorite airhead ended up being the least popular of the poll."

​November 2017

 * What most users considered the best episode: "Anti-Social"
 * Reasons why: The realistic, yet humorous depiction of our reliance of technology, and the last few minutes where Lynn Sr. spends time with his kids.
 * What most users considered the worst episode: "The Crying Dame"
 * Reasons why: Not really hated beyond belief, but often considered "annoying."

​Poll results
AF15's comment: "I bet the people who voted for "Mall of Duty" voted for that episode because it's "Cereal Offender" done slightly better, or simply because they love the younger sisters."
