It's not "BS". It IS a cartoon. The thing with them getting arrested was deliberately intended to be surreal. It's absurdist humor. You don't have to like it, but that's what it is.

I didn't hate Tiger Fail's ending because it was bizarre. I didn't even truly hate it because Cody died (although I didn't care for how they had him die and that's because his death was creepily realistic and not absurd). I hated it because they had all the other characters sitting around and stuffing their faces with ice cream, not caring that he died. Surreal humor I can take, but not mean-spirited crap like that.

That's not to say that you can't get surreal humor wrong and the show has gotten it wrong in the past. I can accept two toddlers being arrested, as ridiculous as it is. As much I hated Dakota turning into a mutant, I can also accept it because she was exposed to toxic waste so at least there's an explanation in-show. I can't accept Ezekiel turning into a monster because...what caused him to turn into one? Because he hung out in the cargo hold of a plane for a few weeks? How does that make any sense?

It just didn't bother me that much. I don't know what to tell you. I mostly hate it when the show gets too cruel. I hated it when Zeke and Dakota became monsters and I hated it when those characters floated off towards the sun in balloons filled with Owen's farts. It annoys me that the writers often don't seem to respect their characters, that they'll just permanently disfigure several of them or leave others in seemingly inescapable situations with their fates left unknown.
