Kyle, Fanboy and Chum Chum participate in a video game by Sigmund, where Kyle believes the prize is enrollment at Milkweed Academy.
Tropes:
- Captain Obvious: After Kyle fails to use a Magical Incantation to start up the game:Kyle: How do I get this to start?!
Chum Chum: (completely deadpanned) Uh...you put it in the Hex Box?
(Pan over to the game console as mentioned.) - The Reveal: Kyle went to Milkweed for 10 years prior to his expulsion.
- Rhyming Wizardry: When attempting to start the game, Kyle tries the spell "Gameus Beginus!", but nothing happens. Chum Chum bluntly tells him afterward he has to put the disk in the Hex Box to activate.
- Series Continuity Error: While Kyle is rambling to Fanboy, he calls Milkweed the “Milkweed Academy of Wizarding”, when it was addressed several times up to now as “Milkweed Academy for Wizards”.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: It turns out the game's prize is not to get into Milkweed, but a board game based on the school.
- Shout-Out:
- Fanboy's wizard name is "Fandalf", while Chum Chum's is "Gorlok".
- The opening sequence of Kyle flying through the night on his broomstick is an almost scene-by-scene replica of the Animated Credits Opening to Bewitched.
- The game console is called a Hex Box...does this sound familiar?
- Tempting Fate: Kyle begins by enjoying solitude on his broomstick, quoting to be away from "the annoyances of the mortal world." Cue Fanboy and Chum Chum watching him and walking in the sky as he passes them.
- Visual Pun: At the beginning, Fanboy and Chum Chum are literally walking on air.
