Cheese the Day

Milo runs out of processed cheese at home, but luckily, he gets called off to help Max at a fast-food joint get the attention of the staff so that he can place his order.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Big "NO!": Happens to Milo after Dishrag licks the little remains of the jar of processed cheese after she lands on it.
  • Cymbal-Banging Monkey: Milo uses one in order to get the server's attention so Max can place his order, but the batteries die out just before he was about to use it.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To get the server's attention so Max can place his order, Milo uses his cymbal banging chimp as it can make big people pay attention no matter what. However, just when he was about to use it, it stops working immediately as the batteries are dead, right after he states that it never fails.
    • Milo then uses a giant remote-controlled cockroach as it could scare the customers out of the restaurant so Max can place his order. He then starts trying to tell the customers that there's a giant cockroach in the restaurant to no avail. However, a TV crew actually did hears him about the cockroach, leading to them arriving at the restaurant and the Wallaby Hunter (a Steve Irwin expy) starts fighting the cockroach. As a result of the TV crew filming the Wallaby Hunter's fight with the cockroach, it lead to more customers arriving at the restaurant, causing the already long line to get even more packed.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to think of a solution on getting the server's attention. Lizbeth then sees that most of the customers have discount fliers and suggested to Milo to read the flier. However, he doesn't have time to read the flier so Milo tries to think of an another solution to get around the crowd. Lizbeth mentions that he can get around the crowd by taking the flier, leading to Milo to have an idea. He then sees a guy in a chicken nugget costume holding out fliers (which Milo imagines with his visor to be the "villain" The Nugget), leading to Milo to start "fighting back" at him. Eventually, he "defeats" The Nugget by spraying him with ketchup (as in the Quantum Vigilante comic book that he was reading earlier has the titular hero defeating villain FlambĂ© by attacking him with food), causing him to slip from the ketchup and fall, letting go of the fliers. Although the crowd is still huge inside, it impressed an employee as a result of bringing in the flies, which led to him giving him a bag of food including a chocolate shake for Max (which is what he wanted while he trying to place his order) and a some processed cheese for Milo.
  • Expy: The aforementioned Wallaby Hunter is a expy of Steve Irwin who arrived briefly at the restaurant to film his fight with Milo's giant remote-controlled cockroach.
  • Faint in Shock: Happens to Max after Milo pulls out his giant remote-controlled cockroach, causing him to start screaming which he then faints.
  • Growling Gut: Happens to Milo while reading a Quantum Vigilante comic book and decided to crave some processed cheese. Once he retrieves it from the refrigerator, there was only a little bit left in the jar so he plans to spread it on a cracker. Unfortunately, his cat Dishrag accidentally slips on a can on the floor and lands on the jar, leading her to lick the remains of the cheese, causing the jar to be completely empty.
  • Pain to the Ass: After Milo, Lizbeth and Max get squished in-between the bottoms of some of the customers, Milo uses a telescoping fork to poke at one of the customer's bottoms, causing him to feel the pain from the fork, leading to all three to be free from them.

Milo, Lizbeth and Owen come under attack from seagulls when they enter a sandcastle-building contest against Wendell at the beach.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Assumed Win: After the judges saw Wendell's giant sandcastle, just when Wendell was about to win the sandcastle-building contest, they then see a "lifelike human sand sculpture" (which it's actually just Owen covered in sand after Milo's sandcastle collapsed), which could lead to Milo winning first prize for the contest instead of Wendell. However, a feather from a seagull caused Owen to sneeze all of the sand out, realizing that its just a kid covered in sand, which led to Wendell winning the contest anyway.
  • Beach Episode
  • Bird-Poop Gag: Throughout the episode, the seagulls attack Milo by pooping on him. It also happens to Wendell at the end of the episode while holding his trophy shortly after winning the sandcastle-building contest.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: The narrator questions how much poop could a seagull make in around two minutes shortly before an Act Break.
    Narrator: Oh no! Has Captain Flamingo run out of tricks? And how much poop can a seagull make in two and a half minutes? Stay tuned!
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To lure the seagulls out from attacking Owen, Milo uses a giant loudspeaker to tell them to leave Owen alone. Although they did leave briefly, they shortly came back and starts attacking Milo by pooping on him.
    • Milo then uses a wind-up plastic sushi to lure the seagulls out as seagulls like fish. Although the sushi did distract the seagulls, they realized that the sushi is actually fake and not fresh, so they send them back by using their beaks and heads toward Milo. Luckily, Lizbeth uses Owen's sunscreen to stop the sushi.
    • Milo then uses a remote control flying saucer in order to scare off the seagulls. Although the plan seemed to work, one of the seagulls takes the remote control away from Milo and starts messing around with it, leading to Milo using his foam ball launcher to attack the saucer, which eventually falls to the ground after one of the balls hit it. Unfortunately, he doesn't anymore novelty items in order to stop the seagulls.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Lizbeth suggests to Milo that they can set up a volleyball net over his sandcastle and Owen to protect it. However, Milo was thinking from his "Bird Brain" that he needs to play volleyball. He decided to do just that which lead to the volleyball hitting his sandcastle, causing it to collapse. Even after the sandcastle collapse, the seagulls are still with Owen, so Milo starts to jump in order to save Owen. However, he lost control and fell into a container full of ice cream sandwiches, which got the attention to the seagulls and flew away, finally leaving Owen alone.
  • Oh, Crap!: Milo is totally screwed upon realizing that he is out of novelty items in order to stop the seagulls.
  • Stock Audio Clip:
    • When Owen enters the beach and starts slipping after being covered with a lot of sunscreen and lands in a trash can, his screaming was recycled from "I Scream, You Scram!".
    • The same audio clip of Lizbeth and Owen cheering was reused twice when the wind-up sushi gets stuck with sunscreen.
    • Wendell crying out "NO!" after getting hit by a volleyball and getting his face covered with a ice cream sandwich that he was holding was reused from "Ball of Confusion".
