Cadet Clarkk is the 25th episode of the Disney animated series Space Chickens in Space. The episode first aired on December 9th, 2018.

Plot

When Glargg loses his temper, Skyla makes him do empathy training. He goes disguised as Clarkk, and realises making friends, keeping his temper and staying out of trouble is harder than he thought.

Why It Sucks

1. In the same manner with Being Glargg, this episode is no more than a Glargg torture episode, meaning that he is the punching bag of the other characters for the entire duration of the episode for no reason, with little to no characters feeling sympathy for him.
2. Terrible attempts at humor primarily consisting of Chuck's butt jokes, gross-out and humiliating Glargg.
3. While still fluid in some aspects, the animation is average and doesn't meet the standards of this show's usual quality.
4. This is the only episode that tries to be hip and cool, resulting in...
5. Tons of cringeworthy scenes like Glargg dancing Gangnam Style in his and Niven's dance battle.
6. Chuck's selfishness got the best of him, for most of his screen time he just wants to be friends with Glargg for popularity amongst the students and to get an invitation to Piπ's party.
7. The episode is extremely cruel and mean-spirited towards Glargg, taking every opportunity to make the cadets laugh at him for any stupid reason.
   • Due to this, the cruel tone of the episode never ends.
8. Weak soundtrack if compared to other episodes.
9. Terrible Ending: After Glargg wreaks havoc at the party, Skyla comes in and starts to chase and slap him with frustration, meaning that Glargg probably failed the training.

Redeeming Qualities

1. The title card is awesome.
2. Hilarious comedy for the most part.
   • And not to forget that the weird beauty shots and faces never get old.
3. The episode's premise was interesting at the very least, but horribly executed.
4. Glargg's school days flashback was very sad and viewers may feel some sympathy for him.
5. The chickens were the only characters that were merciful and friendly to Glargg, agreeing to befriend him and even defend him against the bullies, which was quite sweet.
   • Speaking of which, the message taught by the episode is good too: Always stand up for your friends.
