Sounds to me like you are taking Star Wars a little too seriously. Lighten up a bit. I think the Battle Droid humor is my favorite part of the show so far. The Jedi are just so somber and boring that it's nice to have a little bit of humanity in the series (even if the droids are the most human characters in the cartoon so far).
I think I might (might) like the battle droids more if they sounded less like they do (and did in ROTS) and more like they did in TPM and AOTC. It would help if they acted that way, too, but start with the voices.
I think they're awesome, but hopefully they get more outrageous and over the top as the series goes on. The show needs some life and, unfortunately, the Jedi are not going to provide that. Hopefully, they develop the clones a little more as well.
They have always looked comical and have never been threatening or foreboding, so why not play up on that?
I dunno, until TPM I just don't remember there being anywhere near the amount of reliance on slapstick for the humour in star wars. Back then we found the humour in believable and therefore naturally funny character interactions rather than the contrived kiddy pandering crap we've been forcefed since TPM. Not that the OT was totally free of it, but it was never this jarring...no pun intended. You'll probably say I'm wearing rose-tinted spectacles but I think you've been at least partially desensitised by the necessarily lowered expectations ever since TPM.
I am going to have to disagree with you BB.
Now dont get me wrong I love the New Clone Wars, however I did also say they would have to change a few things and the stupidness of the Battle Droids is one of them, the other one is getting someone who has a little bit more life in them for doing the opening announcements, get the guy who done Starships Troopers announcements.

I'm just a little frustrated by Sunday night's episode, since after almost ten years, we finally get a chance to have Plo Koon's character developed onscreen and they give him the personality of an ironing board.
I find myself actually being entertained by the silly battle droids and bored to tears by the Jedi.
