The humor in the game is generally seen as lacking, with some finding it not suitable for entertaining content on platforms like YouTube. While the long pauses and the host's comedic delivery are criticized, the questions are appreciated, and the kids' charm adds a lighthearted touch. Overall, it may appeal to dedicated fans of the franchise rather than those seeking strong comedic value.
“The kids are cute and usually funny.”
“It's not 'funny bad' for your funny Let's Play YouTube channel, and for game show fans, it might be worth buying if you feel compelled to pick up every version of 5th Grader.”
