I Hate How This Show Was Canceled For Low Ratings And Mediocre Review Scores But The Show Is Way Better Then Peopld Think It Is, Its Fun Has A Short And Sweet Musical Number Every Episode And Really Has A Consistent Story Structure Everyday Episodes The Members Of Grojband Work Well Off Each Other Even If All Of Them Are Stereotypical In There Own Way But Just Because There Stereotypical Does Not Mean There Bad Characters And While This Show Is Not Dying Laughing Material It Certainly Has Made Me Chuckle And Laugh A Lot More From A Recent Rewatch The Animation (Which I Believe To Think Is Puppet Animation) Is Smooth And Solid To Look At And The Voice Acting And Sound Design Is Also Really Dang Good So If You Haven't Yet Give Grojband A Watch It Definitely Won't Waste Your Time

nasdagoodshepherd6 June 2019Grojband! This show is cool, funny and charming. It features 4 teenagers who formed a rock-n-roll garage band and ends up making things right for everybody, except for Trina (Corey's rude, obnoxious, spioled brat of a sister) who wants to bring her brother and his garage band down. The animation is well-down, the humor is sweet, and the writing is not bad. Oh, and I totally ship Corey x Laney, (Laney has a huge crush on Corey) seriously, Corey x Laney is one of the best shipping ever. I give Grojband! an 8.7/10

icydotori4 August 2013Grojband is one of those cartoons that make you laugh or giggle for all the right reasons. The writers, given that each "episode" is normally 10-12 minutes long, do an excellent job of pacing and keeping the humor & story consistent while maintaining the characters well.
Here are the some main characters of Grojband as summarized simply enough by me:
With the way the usual boy punk rocker is written in mainstream media, seeing Corey was a breath of fresh air. The writers play on that archetype by making him oblivious yet radical & friendly at the same time by putting in jokes that play off that characterization well. He and Trina (older sis) do not get along at all. Trina might as well be the definition of selfishness, egotistical, and malicious but Corey always seems to find his way.
Kin and Kon's (twins) relationship as the "nerdy engineer keyboard player" and the "not as smart gentle giant drummer" are surprisingly not cringe-worthy as we see that Kin (smart) never looks down on Kon or his friends. They have a healthy brotherly relationship and are literally true bros.
Laney, as the only female in the band, comes off as someone who really doesn't mind being the only girl. She's shown to be just like her band mates (save, for an obvious crush on Corey shown in some episodes). She's shown to dislike all that is traditionally girly but it isn't overplayed to a tiresome point.
The animation is great, in which it doesn't make out each figure to be a stiff puppet with annoying voices (ex. Johnny Test). The movements are perceptively smooth and every character has their own shapely & diverse quality to them. The music is done well enough to keep the tone appropriate throughout the episodes. I noticed that the final songs in the end of each episode (when Corey gets the lyrics from Trina) explore different genres of music yet maintain Grojband's rock attitude. I find that SO refreshing. As far as realism goes, cartoons don't always have to be constrained to our world's realistic values and physics. When you claim that a cartoon such as this isn't realistic enough, you've gone and overlooked every component of the cartoon and labeled it as "not good enough" through your own blind observation. It's ignorant and you're literally missing the whole point, but if that is one's opinion then one is welcome to uphold whatever they believe.
Overall, it's a well-maintained show that plays on certain archetypes and over done subjects to create something entirely refreshing and humorous to both kids and an older audience alike. It's cute, silly, and while it's not the most visually stunning cartoon, its substance is well worth the short amount of time each episode has. -
masterjames44521 February 2014Grojband is a very cleverly-written and finely-executed show. For a show that revolves around music, this show definitely doesn't disappoint with the different song styles done each episode. Whether it's traditional rock, or something different like polka, banjo, romantic ballad, gospel, and even light elevator music, the show branches out to appeal to every music fan.
The characters are very likable and easy to relate to, whether it's to one's self or to one's bossy older sister who always needs to have their way.
The plot lines, however, is what sells it for me. Rather than pattering to the children and having a bunch of poo and pee jokes, the characters actually have to brainstorm and overcome what could easily be real-life scenarios kids and teenagers could face. Sure, the quick fix isn't as easy as fixing in the show with a diary meltdown, but it still offers some believable problems a human being could face, such as crushes, jealousy, personal change, and of course, sibling rivalry.
As for the show's humor, it has a fairly-balanced mixture of pop culture and original jokes to keep the viewer entertained. It's not littered with non-stop jokes about Pop Musicians and Social Networking, just enough to move the story along or to make a quick chuckle. The show's original humor, though, is neatly-timed and keeps both children and teenagers alike amused, especially with the Looney Tune-esque sound and visual effects.
In conclusion, in a era where cartoons have to be taken seriously to get one's approval (looking at you, Legend of Korra), Grojband is a nice chance of pace. It has an even balance of real-life situations to an extent you don't get bored with it, as well as plenty of well-timed cartoon gags and jokes. Give it a watch! -
xanderblue-1217816 December 2023It's a great show but... there are better shows than this like Tom and Jerry, Unikitty, etc. But I will admit to everyone in the world(including the creators) that it is still a great show. By the way, I even saw the next up bumper on boomerang on YouTube. Which is cool and neat. The songs are really great and they are really really catchy and greatly beating with rhythm in again, the catchy department. "Funky." Hawkodile from Cartoon Network and Lego group's Unikitty. Overall this is a good show that has a lot of entertainment to offer. It brings entertainment to me and entertainment for earth.

I know Todd Kauffman can make a good cartoon, but seriously??!! Grojband??!! This is like a mix of Phineas and Ferb with Sidekick, meets Little Yellow Book. How can anyone think that this show is "awesome", when it literally is AWFUL??!! Grojband is literally that bad. It's just a garage band who perform songs, and steal the teen girl's diary. THAT'S LITERALLY IT!! This show is literally mean- spirited. I can't understand why people would actually like this show. It is just so bad, it's a RIP-OFF of Phineas and Ferb!!!! The songs were so bad, that I'd rather listen to Justin Bieber and One Direction. My advice: DO NOT EVER WATCH GROJBAND!!!! IT SUCKS!!!!

t's about time we see a Canadian show on Cartoon Network that didn't involve CONSTANT farting, and butt jokes in every episode. The show is very good, animation is good, and for the first time in years this is a Canadian show that I could watch week after week without feeling disgusted when the show is over. Honestly, I can't find a single bad thing about Grojband, Corey's innocent, and his friends are funny (in a good way not a disgusting way). CN has a REAL gem here, all I got to say to CN is this:
Please acquire shows that are more like this, Almost Naked Animals and Pink Panther and Pals. Let your failed Canadian show like Johnny Test, Sidekick and Scaredy Squirrel rot in the dirt and bury them and burn the tapes. Grojband is better than those dumb shows. -
fakachfunk12 April 2020This Honestly One of The Worst Shows I've Ever Watched, While Did Enjoy Kauffman's Previous Work (Sidekick and Total Drama), I Did Enjoy This Show One Bit, First of All, The Characters are Just Bland and Boring, Corey Is Soo Annoying, He Is Your Typical "Pretty Boy" Like Character, Laney Is a Generic Tom-Boy Alpha B*tch Character, and Kin and Kon are Just The Annoying Comic Reliefs. The Voice Is.. OK I Guess. Not Mention The Show Just Feels Like a Poor Man's "Big Time Rush" and "Phineas and Ferb".
Watch Better Cartoons Like "Johnny Test", "SuperNoobs", "Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart", "Infinity Train", "Bluey","Gravity Falls", "Hey Arnold", "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius", "The Amazing World of Gumball", "Phineas & Ferb", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Loud House", or "Camp LakeBottom". Not This Junk!

asaloverboy728 May 2014Grojband follows Corey Riffin (Lead Guitarist/ Lead Vocals) and his three best friends, Laney Penn (Bassist) and twin brothers Kin Kujira (Keyboardist), and Kon Kujira (Drummer), as they work to propel their garage band to international stardom. When they don't have the lyrics, Corey and his friends get Trina into an emotional diary mode to write lyrics in her diary, so that Corey and his friends can perform a perfect song.
This show comes from Fresh TV the same company who brought us "6teen", "Total Drama" and "Stoked". A great Canadian cartoon that doesn't rely on gross-out humor. -
oliverschannel13 November 2021This is the best cartoon and best show ever in my opinion! The songs are really catchy, the characters are likable (Except Trina, she's horrible), and the episodes (Except It's in the Card, that one sucked) are amazing!
My favorite characters from this show are the groupies, Kate and Allie. OMG!!! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE AND ADORABLE!
