Ultimately the problem with The Bubble is that it plays everything for laughs to get around the audience’s defenses.

Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road.
