*So if Underfist is the last Billy and Mandy related thing to come out, does that mean that Mindy's just sort of permanently a witch now?

* So how did Mandy become the EmotionlessDarkGirl anyway? Her parents seem to be pretty normal and there were no hints that shows how Mandy even became like this. We know that Billy became stupid because he got it from his father. Where did Mandy get her meanness from?

* Why do people like Fred Fredburger?
** Because he likes nachos, nachos, and nachos are really tasty YES
** This is the unknown appeal of the EnsembleDarkhorse.
** This troper was pretty much tired of the show, as it felt old and stale. Cue to Keeper of the Reaper, debuting said character, pretty much pulling out all the stops to a new level of hilarity.
** You might as well ask why people like [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Gir]]. Thirteen-year-old girls who shop at Hot Topic are really, really attracted to annoying characters that they can torment their classmates with by quoting their [[SarcasmMode hilarious]] dialogue. ....Middle school was not a pleasant time for me.

** According to "Hurter Monke" the agreement is legally binding. He can do this but that would breath the contract and his scythe won't let him do that anyway. One loophole though is that it only applies on earth and the netherworld, not say Mars.

*** Also, in thinking about it, Mandy didn't ''technically'' cheat at the game. Grim asked her if she had "any last words" before losing; she said "Kiss kiss" (the prompt for Mr. Snuggles to go crazy), the hamster jumped down and latched on to Grim's face, and ''he'' knocked over the limbo bar, which cost him the contest. Considering that Grim outright allowed Mandy to talk, it's more a case of HoistByHisOwnPetard than anything else.


Added DiffLines:

** It's suggested on a few occasions that Mandy wants to conquer the world on her own terms. Taking the scythe and using it would be the equivalent of cheating for her. In a bit of FridgeBrilliance, the episode "Substitute Creature" reveals that Mandy, for all of her cruelty, refuses to condone cheating--presumably, this extends to her own goals as well.

** He seemed to acclimate well to some of the ways of the mortal world: he appears to enjoy taking bubble baths, and even liked having a mother when one mistook him for her son in his Halloween costume; maybe he felt life (without Billy and Mandy) was far better than he had it in the underworld?

* Why hasn't Mandy taken over the world already (aside from the fact that the show would be much shorter)? She's got close access to Grim's scythe, one of the most powerful objects in the universe that somehow can get swiped by at least two dozen people. What's keeping her from immediately dominating all mankind?

*** Well, no, that's not true. She's shown plenty of times that she is more than capable of physically fighting down normal threats, generally quick to outwit or overpower supernatural ones, and seems to have something somewhere between a high level of persuasion to actual mind control. She's not infallible(Pandora tricked her), but generally she has the upper hand.

** Wait, if they saved the hamster from his death, does that mean its immortal since his death never happened and evidenced with the whole yetty incident, cant be re-planned, but Grim said they he wouldn't kill the hamster. Period.

** This never did make any sense to me either. Mandy never ''does'' anything, all she does is walk around and act like a bitch to everyone, and they just fold. I get it, thats her character, but she doesnt seem to have ANYTHING to back up her alleged scariness, other than being very intelligent.

*** "No, the example you listed is a case of not properly informing your opponent of all available maneuvers, whereas this is a case of a high discrepancy in skill level." Not the point. The point is, in both cases the one party is not acting in good faith. And while you're correct that ChessWithDeath is not supposed to be something that's ''easy'', Death is not supposed to be unbeatable. There is always a chance that he can be beaten, which means there has to be some way for the challenger to actually win against the Grim Reaper. But in Grim's limbo game, there was never any chance that Billy or Mandy could possibly beat Grim, and he knew it. He presented them a game in bad faith, a game which was ''physically impossible for them to win''. In my book this is just another form of cheating.
