1	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frankie_my_dear.jpg]]
2
3	Bloo, Mac, the pizza delivery guy, and a Prince Charming themed imaginary friend get smitten with Frankie and do whatever they can to win her over.
4
5	!!Tropes include:
6	* BeQuietNudge: Fed up with Bloo making up fake stories when it comes to their relationship, Frankie attempts to kick his leg, but he continues to talk. This is because she's kicking Chris' leg, not Bloo's.
7	* TheCasanova: Prince Charming. The minute he sees Frankie, he starts spouting out one-liners and tenderly touching her.
8	* CurseCutShort: Dylan when he tells off Mac, Bloo and Chris, "You're lucky I didn't kick your ba--" before seeing [[RightBehindMe Frankie observed]] all his insulting and bullying towards them.
9	* CrazyJealousGuy:
10	** Mac, Bloo, Chris, and Prince Charming can't stand to see Frankie interacting with other guys. Their plan for the second half of the episode focuses on them crashing Frankie's date and trying to drive Dylan away.
11	** Dylan is the worst of them all, though. He claims that Frankie is his [property] and tells the guys to just give up on wooing her since ''no girl'' would like ''a dork'', ''a kid'', and ''a thing''.
12	* CreepyCrossdresser: Not by choice, Prince Charming was forced to [[FanDisservice wear a little pink dress]], have his hair in an updo, get dolled-up, and speak in a feminine voice. But this doesn't stop him from hitting on Frankie.
13	* EntitledToHaveYou: Again, Mac, Bloo, Chris, and Prince Charming have this attitude with Frankie.
14	** And once again, Dylan is far worse than them. He claims that a guy like him is better than all of them and that ''no girl'' would like any of them.
15	* EpicFail: Bloo's attempts to eat a steak with Mac controlling his hands.
16	--> "Don't mind if I do ''pick up a fork and eat some of the food that is on the plate on the table in front of me.'' (Mac grabs a spoon and pokes the steak with it) Oh, silly me. A spoon can't '''pick up a steak!'''
17	* GroinAttack: Frankie does this to Chris. Several times.
18	* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the episode, everyone started to hit on Frankie again.
19	* {{Hypocrite}}: Bloo as he keeps insulting Mac for only being 8, when Bloo himself is only 5.
20	* InsaneTrollLogic: Bloo trying to insist that he's more of a man than Mac. On the grounds that while he's technically younger, he's "not a kid."
21	* {{Jerkass}}: Dylan. [[BitchInSheepsClothing He may seem like a friendly guy at first]], especially since he tolerated Mac, Bloo and Chris barging in on his date. However, he really loses sympathy when he claims Frankie is his "property" and boldly insults Mac, Bloo, and Chris.
22	* JustAKid: A running gag has Mac getting this [[HypocriticalHumor from Bloo of all people]].
23	* LittleBlackDress: Frankie wears one in her latest date.
24	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mac and Bloo scare off Chris, until Bloo mentioned out loud that they think Frankie is stealing their girl. Chris [[PoorCommunicationKills assumes Frankie loves HIM]] and slowly walks back for her in a love-daze.
25	-->'''Bloo:''' Why is he coming back?!\
26	'''Mac:''' ''(throwing balled up paper at Chris)'' Shut up and throw!
27	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Prince Charming, disguised as "Prissy", wouldn't stop touching Frankie.
28	* NotWhatItLooksLike: Dylan claims this after verbally assaulting Mac, Bloo, and Chris. Frankie clearly doesn't buy it.
29	--> '''Dylan:''' So uh, it's not what it looks like it's...
30	--> '''Frankie:''' (angrily) If I had a dime for every time I heard that one!
31	* OhCrap: The look on Dylan's face before Frankie pummels him off-screen after she overhears his insults of her friends.
32	* PaperThinDisguise: Mac, Bloo, Chris, and Prince Charming do all this with the former three as a tall man while the latter wears a dress, much to his dismay.
33	* PrecociousCrush: Mac and Bloo (two elementary-age boys) and Chris (a teenager) all develop a crush on Frankie, a twenty-two-year-old woman.
34	** Debatably with Prince Charming, while an adult man, is technically younger, presumably.
35	* PresentCompanyExcluded:
36	-->'''Frankie''': That guy [Dylan] was a royal pain. ''(to Prince Charming)'' No offense.\
37	'''Prince Charming''': None taken. ''(puts raw meat on his black eye)'' Ow! Ow!
38	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Dylan gives it all out on Mac, Bloo, and Chris for their attempts on Frankie and tells them why would ''any girl'' want to be with them when they can go out a guy like ''him''.
39	-->'''Dylan''': Oh, I get it. You guys thought Frankie was being sweet on you. Let me clue you guys in on something--Frankie's just being nice to you cause she just feels sorry for you.
40	--> '''Bloo:''' Nu-uh!
41	--> '''Mac:''' Frankie is nice to us because she's cool! And she likes us!
42	--> '''Dylan:''' (scoffs) What on Earth makes you guys think Frankie would like--scratch that, ''any'' girl would like-- ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis a dork]]'' [Chris], ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis a kid]]'' [Mac][=--=]\
43	'''Bloo''': See, I told ya.\
44	'''Dylan''': [=--=]and a ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis thing]]'' [Bloo][=--=]\
45	'''Bloo''': Hey!\
46	'''Dylan''': When she can go out with a guy like me?
47	--> (Chris, Mac, and Bloo hang their heads down in shame, failing to prove Dylan wrong)
48	--> '''Dylan''' Yeah that's what I thought. Now get out of here. [[CurseCutShort You guys are lucky I don't kick your bu...]]
49	* RuleOfThree: Bloo's "putting aside our differences" speech to Mac. Then with Chris. And finally with Prince Charming.
50	* RunningGag: Bloo keeps telling Mac he's not good enough for Frankie because he's [[JustAKid "just a kid"]].
51	-->'''Bloo:''' ''Especially'' not Mac!
52	* ShoutOut: Bloo's disguise as a gazillionaire goes by the name [[Creator/OrlandoBloom Orlando Bloo]].
53	* SpitTake: Frankie, when she immediately sees through Mac, Bloo, and Chris' disguise due to Bloo acting as the head.
54	** Dylan, when "Orlando Bloo" says he and Frankie dated for 20 years.
55	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: PlayedForLaughs. As mentioned below, this episode shows hilariously shows how difficult pulling off a TotemPoleTrench would really be. Orlando Bloo nearly falls over several times since three of them are piggy-backing. It's nearly impossible for Orlando to eat because Mac is the arms and the trenchcoat obstructs his vision, resulting in him flailing looking for a fork and even then results in him trying to pick up steak with a spoon. When he finally grabs the fork, Mac's arms are too short to reach Bloo's mouth forcing him to chew an entire steak. Frankie kicks the legs (Chris) over and over, but since Bloo isn't aware of this, he keeps talking casually rather than react how a person would.
56	* TotemPoleTrench: The focus of the episode, which is deconstructed humorously. Mac believes he should be the one on top.
57	* TurnedOffByTheJerkass: Frankie punches out and dumps Dylan after she catches him insulting Chris, Mac, and Bloo.
58	* WouldntHitAGirl: Inverted with Prince Charming and Dylan. For the former, Frankie beats him senseless in the bathroom, but he doesn't appear to have fought back. For the latter, he appeared ''scared'' of [[WomanScorned Frankie]] before she beats him up, implying he didn't even bother fighting back.
59	* YoureCuteWhenYoureAngry: Prince Charming comes out of the restroom saying this after getting beaten by Frankie off-screen.
