Run Milo Run
Milo and Wendell are competing in the Lemmings Scout obstacle course when, at the worst possible moment, Sanjay gets stuck in the mud and Captain Flamingo must really put his obstacle course skills to the test.
Tropes in this episode:
- Covered in Mud: Happens to Milo, Wendell and Dookie Doo after landing on the mud that Sanjay was stuck in (causing him to also get covered as well just after they landed) after getting thrown off from the rope from the Lemming Scouts obstacle course due to Dookie Doo's slobber causing the rope to get slippery. It also happens to Milo again during the Narrator's So Once Again, the Day Is Saved moment just after posing.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- Milo has to get Sanjay out of the mud that he's stuck in, but the only catch is that he has to face his pet chihuahua Dookie Doo in order to get to him. Milo uses his cheeseburger-shaped yo-yo that he got from his kids meal to wrap it around the tree in Sanjay's yard so he can pulley over to pass Dookie Doo from him and grab Sanjay out of the mud. However, there were two problems. One, when Milo tells Sanjay to grab his hand to get out of the mud, he was too distracted reading a Cruddy Buddies book. And two, due to his yo-yo being shaped like a cheeseburger, Dookie Doo tries to bite it thinking it was a real cheeseburger, causing the pulley holding Milo going out-of-control and throws him out of Sanjay's yard.
- In order to rescue Sanjay from the mud, Milo then uses a balloon tied to him to float himself into Sanjay's yard and uses a boomerang to distract Dookie Doo by tossing it to her. Although she managed to fetch the boomerang into her mouth, Milo was still unable to grab Sanjay with his hand out of the mud as he is still getting distracted from his Cruddy Buddies book, which eventually the balloon that holds Milo pops after Dookie Doo spins with the boomerang uncontrollably which hits it, causing it to deflate, leading Milo to land on a tree outside of Sanjay's yard.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Milo thinks of a way to distract Dookie Doo to get Sanjay out of the mud by giving her a treat, but the only treat that he have is meat sticks, which makes Dookie Doo tempted to eat it, causing him to run away in the neighborhood. However, after he hits a trampoline, he and Dookie Doo both land back to the Lemming Scouts obstacle course at the park, where Milo is competing with Wendell to win the run for your life badge. However, due to Dookie Doo's slobbering causes the rope that Milo and Wendell were holding to get slippery, causing them to get thrown out from the obstacle course, hitting the finish line, and landed on Sanjay's backyard, freeing Sanjay out of the mud in the process just after he realized that he was stuck in the mud the entire time while reading his Cruddy Buddies book. However, both Milo and Wendell got the badges anyway as Milo helped Wendell in the obstacle course all along although they didn't mean to due to them being rivals.
- Go Fetch: One of Milo's failed solutions to distract Dookie Doo is to fetch her a boomerang in order to get Sanjay off the mud. She eventually catches it but then hits the balloon that carries Milo afloat, causing it to deflate.
- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Milo says this when one of his failed solutions to save Sanjay from getting stuck in mud was to use balloon tied to him to float himself to Sanjay's yard and tosses a boomerang in order to distract Dookie Doo. Eventually, the plan failed as after Dookie Doo retrieve the boomerang which then makes her spin, it hits the balloon that holds Milo, causing it to deflate, leading to Milo to land on a tree outside of Sanjay's yard.
Blizzard of Ooze
Avi accidentally spills an economy-sized bag of flour, then sugar, then baking soda, then (you get the picture) all over the kitchen. He's going to be in huge trouble when his mom finds out. Can Captain Flamingo rescue him in time to get his cat Dishrag to the vet?
Tropes in this episode:
- Chekhov's Gun: Milo has to take his cat Dishrag to the vet to get a checkup which originally has to wait, due to Avi calling for the Captain to help. Eventually at the end of the episode, Dishrag eventually arrives to the vet after being covered in a ball of ooze moments earlier, and lands in the vet's bathroom which takes off all of the ooze covered from her.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- To clear the ooze out of Avi's kitchen before his mom comes back, Milo gives him, Lizbeth and Avi fan hats to blow it out like a fan. However, Avi didn't face his fan hat forward, causing all three hats to start spinning around the kitchen as well as blowing away the kitchen appliances.
- Milo then uses his Super Bulldoze-o-Matic 6000 to get rid of the ooze. However, due to being very small, clearing up all of the ooze will take until next March to finish cleaning, which he doesn't have enough time as Avi's mom was about to come back just right now. Eventually, the ooze covers up the bulldoze and Dishrag.
- Disaster Dominoes: Avi was meant to just get one cookie from a cookie jar. He tried using a chair to stand up to get it, but he accidentally misses causing the jar to fall, knocking over the sugar, the flour, the salt, the oatmeal and the baking soda, trips over the chair and accidentally turns on the fan, causing a "blizzard" substance to happen. He even mentions that his mom doesn't let him stand on chairs.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Lizbeth then sees a vacuum cleaner which can be used to solve the ooze problem by vacuuming up the ooze. However, Milo has a different idea with the vacuum cleaner as he uses it to make his Super Bulldoze-o-Matic 6000 to keep scooping and will also scare Dishrag away. The plan eventually worked as after the noise from the vacuum scares Dishrag, she hits a jar of syrup, which then covers her up, runs around in the kitchen and rolls over the ooze, becoming a big ball of ooze which then rolls out of Avi's kitchen, cleaning it in the process. Eventually, the ball landed to the vet's bathroom which then gets all of the ooze off of her.
- Human Snowball: Dishrag becomes this but with a big ball of ooze instead of snow.
- Nature Abhors a Vacuum Cleaner: Once Milo turns on Avi's vacuum cleaner, it scares Dishrag, causing her to run away in the kitchen, which she then hits a jar of syrup which then sticks to the ooze substance in Avi's kitchen, causing her to be covered in a big ball of ooze.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Due to Dishrag refusing to mush from the ooze, Avi goes to his refrigerator and grabs a can of tuna, which Lizbeth uses it with a fishing rod to lure her to mush. Avi then mentions that whenever he has tuna sandwiches, her mom puts always puts pickles in them, which concerns Lizbeth as the vinegar from the pickles will react to the baking soda, which he then accidentally opens it, causing the baking soda and vinegar to cause a reaction and making the ooze substance even worse.
- It also happens to Dishrag after she finds out that she now has to get her shots at the vet, causing her to run away again.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title of the episode is a pun of The Wizard of Oz.
- Pyrrhic Victory: Although Dishrag managed to get to the vet on time for her checkup, the doctor arrives to tell Milo that she now has to get her shots, causing her to get scared and runs away, causing Milo to try to catch her.
- Shout-Out: The Episode Title Card also parodies The Wizard of Oz as well, having Milo, Lizbeth, Avi and Dishrag walking on a yellow brick road.
