** Only the crust is made of bread. There are different types of bread so they aren't eating the same ''kind'' of bread all the time. Had to edit my mistake.

Nickelodeon liked the final output of it, he said. So, as he wanted to give the people what they pleaded for, which was a series based on the original [=YouTube=] ''Breadwinners'' short, [=DiRaffaele=] decided to renovate the short with brighter, more "8-bit" visuals. He showed the renovated short to Nick, and thus they gave him a series.

* Why do people complain about different looking ducks in the show? What 'it doesn't suit the art style'? Just look at our trope picture for Furry Confusion- Donald looks really different to the other ducks(in a more realistic style, I might add). It's not a new thing and not limited to this show.
** It has something to do with the fact that the main characters don't look like ducks at all, and all the side character ducks are stock images.
* How do Breadwinners and Regular Show have anything in common? I mean Regular Show is a mix of slice of life and surreal while Breadwinners is dense and wacky.

Also Mordecai and Rigby are friends but fight like cats and dogs, while SwaySway and Buhdeuce are super affectionate bros who only fight ocassionally.

people complain about different looking ducks in the show? What 'it doesn't suit the art style'? Just look at our trope picture for Furry Confusion- Donald looks really different to the other ducks(in a more realistic style, I might add). It's not a new thing and not limited to this show.

** It seems that the planet's ''crust'' is made of bread. Breadwinners mine the bread out and deliver it. That's mostly the reason why; job specialization.
