Natter. Why\'s it always have to be Natter?


* PlotHole: In Part 2 of "Wrong Side of the Law", not ''only'' does [=WordGirl=] refer to Her mother as "mom", but her mother replies with something along the lines of "Your mother can't help you now!". Did this troper miss an episode or something?
** Actually, no. The crazy truth of the matter is that even her parents (actually her adoptive parents, as she comes from the planet Lexicon) ''aren't aware that she is [=WordGirl=]''. They've only ever known her as Becky Botsford.
*** Another one in "The Ballad of Steve [=McClean=]": Dr. Two Brains claimed to have been the number one villain for two years, but it would appear that he's only [[strike:been a villain]] existed for less than a year. Of course, there is the possibility of the episode taking place in the future or lampshading the fact that the show has been on the air for several years, but [[{{Not Allowed To Grow Up}} none of the characters have aged since the beginning.]]
*** Au contraire, mon frère. Back in the two-minute shorts, it can easily be proved that Becky was nine-years-old during time period. In fact, I don't believe they state she's ten until "Becky's Birthday". Coincidental? Now consider the fact that she herself doesn't say she's 10 and a half until we're in Season Two at least. Do you remember her saying it before that? So don't be surprised if we have an angsty, pre-pubescent 11 year-old-Becky this Season.
**** Actually, Word Girl specifically says she's 10 and a half in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlu77RHNZtg mock interview with Jim Leher]] before the series even premiered.
**** A recent one is from "The Homerun King":
-->'''TJ''': "Hey Bob, would you like to be my sidekick?"
-->'''Bob''': "Screech screech! Eeek!"
-->'''TJ''': "Of course we can call you Captain Extraordinary; good idea!"
-->'''Becky''': "Bob! You wouldn't!"
-->It's strange that TJ understood Bob, considering Becky is the only one able to understand him.

* HoYay: The Whammer is completely obsessed with Chuck, always pounce-hugging him, invading his space, and demanding to be his "[[DoubleEntendre partner]]".
** A recent surprising example is Two-Brains' apparent crush on The Butcher in "The Fill-In". Throughout the whole episode, Two-Brains kept trying to get Butcher to be his partner rather than henchman-for-a-day, disregarding the other henchman and doing things like waiting on Butcher, complimenting him constantly, building a suit so they can be a compatible fight team and eventually crying out in desperation, "I neeeed you!" The nameless henchman, jealous, even says to The Butcher at one point, "Nooo, why would he make fun of ''you''? He ''loves'' you..."
*** Two-Brains and his henchmen seem to act as a family unit on their own, too, what with all the hugging, gifting, outings, vacations and other bonding activities. They're even shown to stay in the lair outside of work and watch TV together in their PJ's. As Word Girl put it, "...for hardened criminals, they can be so cute."
*** Again with Two-Brains, "When Chuck's Mom is Away..." had him start doing pretty much the same thing as with The Butcher, only this time suggestively trying to "team up" with "Chuckie-Baby". And as soon as he hears Chuck's mom isn't in town? He rushes right over to Chuck's house and gets all close, chummy and invasive.
** TJ has a clingy, suck-uppy yesman, Johnson, who seems overly devoted to making TJ happy. He is also very touchy, seemingly having no concept of personal space.
