Recap / Fanboy And Chum Chum S 2 E 32 Funny Face

Go To

When Mr. Mufflin forbids Fanboy and Chum Chum from being their usual wacky selves for class picture day, they decide to prove him wrong and become silly themselves — with Chum Chum becoming a clown while Fanboy radically alters his face — so they can get the "Funniest Picture Ever". Soon Fanboy's face becomes a hit, but when Mr. Mufflin becomes suspicious, the boys must hide Fanboy's face from him as much as possible.


Tropes:

  • Bottle Episode: The whole episode takes place mostly on the school grounds.
  • Call-Back:
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: For those who haven't seen "Lice Lice Baby" yet, Pam was dating Man-Arctica; this episode reveals he broke up with her because she isn't "cold" enough.
  • Ocular Gushers: Pam has these as she's crying over her breakup with Man-Arctica.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Kyle is one of the students who laughed at Fanboy’s funny face throughout the episode.
  • Recycled Soundtrack: The music played as Fanboy is making the potion that will change his face is the same tune from “Pick a Nose” as he and Chum Chum try to impress the students.
  • Retcon: During Mr. Mufflin's recollection of class photos, Kyle is seen in all of them; he shouldn't be as those were before his arrival.
  • Sequel Episode: To "Pick a Nose". It's set on picture day, with similar photos.
  • Shout-Out: Fanboy's face transformation scene is very reminiscent of Jekyll and Hyde and maybe even the Beast transforming into a human again.
  • The Voiceless:
    • Despite Kyle making appearances several times throughout the episode (he is even seen on the title card), he never says a single word, aside from his laughter toward Fanboy's face and an audible whistle he makes when primping himself at the beginning.
    • Yo and the other students don’t speak either, with the only lines coming from Lupe.
