Milo and Lizbeth must find Owen's orthopedic underwear after a locker room mix-up.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To retrieve Owen's orthopedic underpants, Milo uses his lasso in a can to capture a big kid that is using the underpants after it was shrunken but it turns out, he was wearing an XXXXXXX large pair instead of a small pair, which is not the exact pair that Owen needs to retrieve back.
    • Luckily, the big kid drops his key for the lost and found room, so Milo retrieves it and went to that room to find Owen's underpants. To tell which pair of underwear is Owen's, Milo uses a DNA analyzer to compare his DNA with the skid marks of his underpants by using a DNA sample from Owen's cheek. Although it seems like that he found it due to finding an exact match, his hand got stuck by a big stack of clothes, causing it to fall on him, which then a fork lifter took the fallen clothes and throws him and the clothes to a chute to get it cleaned in the laundromat.
    • Once he (as well Lizbeth and Owen) arrives to the laundromat, Milo finds Owen's orthopedic underwear but the laundromat eats it up so in order to retrieve it back, he uses a froth formula to make a lot of bubbles to cause the machine to spit it out. Unfortunately, he used a little too much formula causing the laundromat to overflow the building and splashes them out, ruining the underpants after it gets wet (as these specific underpants cannot get wet or else it will shrink).
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to think of a concrete solution why Owen should not use these specific pair of underwear and to apologize so it won't happen again in the future. Due to having part of his ear being covered with water from the pool however, he mishears Lizbeth that it will happen again in the future as not just there will be reckless destruction of valuable underpants but this pair will also be a bad idea as opposed to be a good idea now as bad stuff could happen to it in the future (such as an alien who likes to eat orthopedic underpants as his favorite food in an Imagine Spot). However, Owen's mother replies that it was a bit far-fetched and needs a real solution why these underpants are a failure. Then, he shows her a big kid wearing a pair of these underpants walking weirdly as a result of his pants getting shrunken from being wet, causing her to dispose the underwear so she can get a different pair for Owen.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: Lizbeth wants to know what are the skid marks in Owen's underwear are which Milo replies that its a guy thing. Owen tries to explain what it is to her by whispering the information quietly, which disgusts her and is glad that she is a girl.
    Lizbeth: What are skid marks?
    Milo: Uh, well, it's sort of a guy thing.
    Owen: They're like...
    [Owen whispers the rest to Lizbeth's ear inaudibly]
    Lizbeth: Eeeww! So glad that I'm a girl!
  • Lame Pun Reaction: As the episode closes, the Narrator makes a lame underwear pun.
    Narrator: And as our hero once again strikes another brawl to uncomfortable undergarments, we must stop and ask ourselves... What's that under there?
    Milo and Lizbeth: Under where?
    [Milo and Lizbeth annoyingly stares at the Narrator's "pun", which he then giggles]
  • Stock Audio Clip: The voice clip of Owen screaming is the same one recycled from "Flowers and Candy".

Exhibit Yikes!

Milo and Lizbeth must help Max catch a thief at a museum.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Didn't Think This Through: To try to capture the thief (which Max refers to him as "a scary guy"), Milo uses a pair of X-ray glasses to find him. He apparently finds somebody inside of the knight in shining armor which causes him to attack it. However, it was revealed that it was just an angry security guard and not the thief so he (as well as Lizbeth and Max) escapes so they don't get caught.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: To capture the thief from stealing a jewel, Milo uses his "Bird Brain" for a way out by pretending to be a police officer. When he takes off his Captain Flamingo suit, his cape causes the thief to slip down to the floor and he catches the jewel from him. Once the museum manager arrives at the museum, he then takes off the thief's mask, revealing that it was just a big kid disguised as one.
  • Impersonating an Officer: Milo disguises himself as police officer in order to stop the thief from stealing a jewel at the museum.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: After Milo's dad reads over the brochure for the military school, he mentions that he brought the wrong brochure and was meant to pick up the museum brochure instead. Milo's mom then reads a letter from the museum thanking Milo for stopping the thief from stealing the jewel and she rewards him with some ice cream sandwiches. Unfortunately, Milo ate some of the box earlier in the episode since she noticed that there are some missing, which causes him to get in trouble.
  • Scooby-Dooby Doors: Used when Milo, Lizbeth and Max were chased by a security guard at the museum through a series of hallway doors.
  • Sneaking Snacks: In the beginning of the episode, Milo sneaks to the pantry for a box of ice cream sandwiches. Although he was tempting to not eat it as he has to eat supper first, he decided to eat it anyways without getting caught, which he then regrets as he could get in trouble. He then finds a brochure in the fridge for a military school for problemed children which he fears that he might go there if he gets in big trouble.
