I have to agree Ammi, them being 12 (and I think, the presence of ACTUAL children in the studio) makes this unfunny. I can see it working as satire in, say, animation (South Park etc) but those characters are voiced by adults and their dialogue isn't "child-like" either. The young live actors in this makes it really uncomfortable
