I'm pretty sure there's no chance I'd be able to follow this series if it wasn't for how short the episodes are. I mean, not only because the jokes just wont work (this one wouldn't, for instance), but also because the short style really fits how random the show can get at times. While still maintaining a storyline through it all. Besides, a small dose frequently has always been superior to a big dose every now and then. At least that's my opinion.
I do hope stuff starts happening soon though. MAMA LUIGI can only make me giggle so many times.
