History Recap / TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandyS2E10

'''Grim:''' …I hate you, Billy.

* SelectiveEnforcement: Jack is eager to take revenge on Grim for taking his head, but has no interest in getting back at the knight who executed him in the first place. This turns out to be [[DeathIsALoser another pot-shot at Grim]], since he thinks the intimidating but still mortal knight is a much more terrifying force than Grim could ever be.

-->'''Billy:''' Grim’s in trouble! HELP, POLICE!

** When Jack explains that he’s going to cut off Grim’s head with his own scythe as revenge for cutting off his head all those centuries ago, Billy comments that this would be pointless since Grim’s head is already removable. This gets subverted when Jack reveals that anything cut off by the Grim Reaper’s scythe stays off ''permanently''.

** Jack apparently doesn't seem to make the connection that at least part of his current predicament is his own doing; While Grim was the one who cut off his head, it was ''his'' own incessant mean-spirited jokes that turned the town against him and eventually resulted in his execution, and Grim was just there to collect his soul, as he is supposed to. Then Jack got the wise idea to try and bargain with Death, which earned him the beheading in the first place. According to Jack, though, this is "clearly" all Grim's fault because he apparently can't take a joke.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Jack, although in his case it’s less "immortality sucks" and more “immortality sucks when you’re a pumpkin-headed freak who can only leave his house once a year".

* NeverMyFault: Billy indirectly causes all the conflict because he borrowed Grim's scythe, but blatantly shirks responsibility after Jack O'Lantern is defeated and Grim gets his scythe back. He is just too stupid to understand that what he says makes him guilty as well.

-->'''Grim:''' But the Grim Reaper does not like being ticked. So I decided that Jack would not be showing his face around town again. ''Ever.''

* OffWithHisHead: Grim did this to Jack as punishment for stealing his scythe and tricking him into giving him immortality, and when Jack steals the scythe again from Billy, he plans to return the favor as revenge.

* WoundThatWouldNotHeal: As Jack points out in the climax, any body part cut off by Grim's scythe can never be reattached, even Grim's own. This also factored into why he has to use a pumpkin for a head, after Grim cut his real head off in revenge for being tricked into giving him immortality.

-->'''Jack:''' 364 days a year, I can’t even go to the [[GoshDangItToHeck ding-dong]] grocery store to buy pudding!

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Jack, although in his case it’s less "immortality sucks" and more “immortality sucks when you’re a Pumpkin-Headed Freak who can only leave his house once a year".

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Jack, although in his case it’s more “Who wants to live forever as a Pumpkin-Headed Freak who can only leave his house once a year?”

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Jack, although in his case it’s more “Who Wants to Live Forever as a Pumpkin-Headed Freak?”

'''Jack:''' Well, for starters, you’ve got a good… (''{{Beat}} as he gives a cheesy grin'') ''head'' on your shoulders! (''RimShot'')\\

'''Jack:''' You’re… ''head''strong! (''RimShot'') Though I’ve never known you to stick your neck out for anyone… until ''now'', of course!\\

-->'''Grim:''' To Be or Not To Be? That is the question.

** Mandy’s Halloween costume is Theatre/{{Hamlet}}, with Grim serving as the skull of Yorick.

* FatalFlaw: Jack’s love of pulling pranks. Back when he was human, Grim explains that he was a pleasant enough guy… but his problem was that when it came to his pranks, he didn’t know when to ''stop'', which ultimately cost him his life thanks to the fed up townsfolk. And when Grim comes to collect, Jack pranks him with TickleTorture, which results in him stealing Grim’s scythe, and striking a deal with him; the scythe in exchange for immortality. This winds up costing him ''[[OffWithHisHead his head]]'' at the hands, and blade, of Grim. He’s ultimately defeated due to him uncontrollably laughing at Irwin’s HumiliationConga. And at the end of the episode, we see that even after all these centuries, he still hasn’t seemed to have learned his lesson, as [[SoundOnlyDeath we hear his pumpkin head get smashed]] after he pranked a demon in the Underworld.
