History Recap / TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandyS1E13

** The title is a parody of ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors''.

* WouldHurtAChild: The Brain-Eating Meteor will eat anyone’s brains, including children. In fact, he tries doing this to Billy himself before finding out that the boy doesn’t have one.

* {{Expy}}: With the entire episode being one big homage to ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'', the Brain-Eating Meteor is an obvious parody of [[ManEatingPlant Audrey II]], with him being from outer space, feasting on internal human parts to grow substantially larger, and being a ManipulativeBastard who sways Billy with promises of friendship the same was that Audrey II tempted Seymour.

One night, Billy is feeling lonely, so he asks Mandy to play with him but she was busy reading a book. He asks Grim, but Grim turns him down too. Billy then goes over to Irwin's house to see what he is doing. Irwin is watching a movie, and doesn't see Billy in the window. Billy walks off, all mopey. He lookes at a twinkling star in the sky and made a wish for someone to play with him. The star came shooting out of the sky and into Billy's backyard! The star was just a [[Music/{{Voltaire}} meteor who sings]]! He asked Billy for some brains. So he gathered everyone in Endsville (except for Grim and Mandy). It accepted Irwin as its first victim. The Last Victim is Mandy. Mandy notices the meteor and walks over to it. The meteor eats her brain, but he melts due to her brain being "spicy". She becomes the meteor and asks Billy for brains.

* CardCarryingVillain: The meteor even tells Billy straight up that he's your "average evil meteor from out of the sky."

Billy dreams of a idyllic scenes with Disney-esque animals that turn into monsters, Grim's nightmare has Mandy ordering him around while replicating herself endlessly, and Mandy's nightmare is a wonderful parody of “A Night on Bald Mountain”. Complete with demons and other vile creatures, Mandy is the monster on the mountain who watches happily as swarms of pizza bats swirl around her.

* HiddenDepths: As stupid as Billy is, he seems to be able to charm and manipulate people. He lures people to the meteor without much hassle.

* HiddenDepths: As stupid as Billy is, he seems to be able to charm people should he need to.

* SelfMadeOrphan: In a sense. Billy gave the aliens his parents’ brains, meaning he indirectly killed them.

* DownerEnding: Billy’s nightmare ended with him presumably being killed by the rabbit monsters and left him afraid of rabbits; Grim’s nightmare underscored how hopeless his situation is and how he can’t escape from it; and Mandy only got to enjoy a dream where she reigned supreme over the forces of evil, and woke up feeling great.

* ShoutOut: The trio's dream sequences are parodies of different ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' segments.
** Billy's is a parody of "The Pastoral Symphony".
** Grim's is a parody of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
** Mandy's is the most blatant of the three, being a parody of "Night on Bald Mountain".

** Billy's segment is specifically a parody of "The Pastoral Symphony".
