7As Cro-Marmot makes his rounds in his ice cream truck, he notices Lumpy the championship surfer with his huge stack of trophies. Envious of Lumpy's popularity, Cro-Marmot decides to enter today's surfing competition and win a trophy for himself.
8
9!!"Wipe Out!" contains the following:
10* AnArmAndALeg: Lumpy tries to juggle chainsaws while surfing and, of course, he gets his arms chopped off.
11* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Cro-Marmot's house is revealed in this episode: an igloo on a snowy mountain protected by a giant dome, making it look like a snow globe.
12* CoconutMeetsCranium: Flaky's death combines this with a YankTheDogsChain moment after escaping a shiver of sharks, presumably as a nod to the statistic that you're more likely to be injured via this trope than getting attacked by a shark.
13* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
14** Nutty eats a sea urchin by accident, and its spikes impale his head, causing him to fall into a tidepool and drown.
15** Mole zips up Handy's wetsuit, only to have the zipper get caught in his fur. He then tries to zip down, ripping Handy's skin and organs out of his body.
16** Cuddles falls of his surfboard while catching a wave and fatally falls on a buoy.
17** Lumpy gets his stomach sliced open when he lands on a surfboard with its fin facing up, and is then painfully carved into a surfboard by an unaware Mole.
18* ADayInTheLimelight: Putting aside that this is let alone one of Cro-Marmot's very few starring roles, this is his only starring role in the TV series.
19* FeatheredFiend: The seagulls have a taste for blood as they chow down on Handy, Cuddles, and Flaky.
20* FlayedAlive: What happens to poor Lumpy when he lands on The Mole's surfboard-carving workbench. Because The Mole is wearing headphones, he can't hear Lumpy's screams of pain as he shaves bits of him off until his corpse looks like a surfboard.
21* JugglingDangerously: To impress the judges, Lumpy juggles chainsaws while surfing. [[AnArmAndALeg It goes as well as expected.]]
22* HairstyleMalfunction: After Lumpy gets his arms cut off while juggling chainsaws, his blonde mullet (actually a wig) flies off, much to his embarrassment, though this ends up [[FlayedAlive becoming the least of his problems]].
23* HumanPincushion: Nutty eats a sea urchin, mistaking it for ice cream, and its spikes protrude out of his face, causing him to fall into a tidepool and drown.
24* AnIcePerson: Cro-Marmot somehow freezes the entire ocean shore once he falls into the water, freezing the giant waves in place.
25* NewJobAsThePlotDemands:
26** Lumpy is a surfer.
27** The Mole runs a surfboard shop.
28* SeaHurtchin: Nutty mistakes one for a scoop of ice cream he dropped, which gets him impaled through his mouth, causing him to topple into a tidepool and drown.
29* SurferDude: Lumpy's persona for this episode is a championship-winning surfer.
30* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Flaky, Cuddles, Handy, Lumpy, and Nutty die.
31* ThreateningShark: Flaky ends up being menaced by an army of them while she's in the water. Miraculously, she survives the encounter, [[YankTheDogsChain only to be killed by a falling coconut seconds later]].
32* ThrowTheDogABone: Giggles, Petunia, Cro-Marmot, The Mole, Toothy, and Sniffles survive.
33* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Giggles and Petunia give a kiss to Cro-Marmot for winning the championship and promptly get their lips stuck on the ice.
