I'm concerned that this isn't a joke. Or is it?

I think someone was ordered to come up with these characters as punishment for screwing up something else.

Definitely jokes.

This has to be some kind of undiscovered April fools joke, or something some designer put together as a joke that went live.

However, worst kids club characters? or best!

Roll sounds totally radical. As someone who also loves homemade croissants, I can relate to this character.

Does anyone else think Glasses and e-m@le will totally have a crush thing going on?

Also, I sense a very special episode where Swarmy and Pyles learn that everyone is a little different, but it's what makes us similar that really counts.

It's a conscious take on the Burger King Kids Club.

Compare the logo and the character design.

There's a ridiculous amount of potential for episodes about a sentient swarm of bees.

How will they reconcile many humans' fear of them with their need to be loved and understood as intellectual equals?

How about the episode where a pair of bumbling bad guys try to kidnap Swarmy to produce their honey, which they then sell!

Not only does the gang need to rescue Swarmy, but they also need to teach Swarmy to trust humans again...
