"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The general opinion about the CGI series, which abandons most of the characters and targets a much lower age demography, and of course, it is made in CGI.
* WhatAnIdiot: In "Diamonds and Mud", Calimero creates an amazing clay sculpture shaped like his school's principal. Delighted by his effort, his teacher takes him to the principal and commission staff so that they can all return and show Calimero's work of art. Unfortunately, while Calimero and the teacher are away, several jealous classmates decide to vandalize Calimero's sculpture, and Calimero, the teacher and the commission staff plus principal return to find it horrendously defaced.\\
'''You'd expect:''' The grownups to demand to know who's responsible for ruining another classmate's work, and punish them accordingly.\\
'''Instead:''' The principal and commission staff get angry and storm off, and the teacher then ''puts the blame on Calimero'', '''''despite the clear fact there was NO WAY he could be a fault no matter how you slice it'''''. He doesn't even ATTEMPT to question the other classmates who were around the sculpture while both of them were gone, he automatically assumes Calimero is to blame even though he was with him the whole time. The angry teacher accuses Calimero of "ruining him" and chases him out, even though he should well know he wasn't responsible [[note]]which Calimero tries to point out, but the teacher doesn't listen[[/note]].\\
'''Result:''' Calimero understandably and rightfully complains in a somber tone, lamenting about what's happening to the world and how the grownups cast him out instead of defending him like they should have. [[KarmaHoudini The vandals get off scot-free, too.]]
