Jenny made this bed herself.... now she's gotta lie in it!

The one with Wizzly World.

Jenny visits Wizzly World with Brad and Tuck, and she can't help but think that the robots in the park feel miserable. But when she breaks them out of the park, chaos (and hilarity) ensue.

"The Wonderful World of Wizzly" contains examples of:

  • Condescending Compassion: When visiting the Disneyland-esque amusement park, Jenny is horrified at seeing animatronics there and views their lives there as akin to slavery and mistreatment. So she made it her mission to liberate them by flying them out of the park and encouraging them to make something of themselves. It utterly fails since the animatronics are nowhere near as advanced as her and were designed and programmed specifically to serve and entertain park attendants. Jenny continues to try this until the robots' begin singing in unison and finally annoying her to listen. Rather than return them to the park though, she instead flies them to what she thought was an uninhibited world in the hopes they can form their own society. Instead, they continue to sing, much to the chagrin of the tiny aliens living there. Ultimately, Jenny's compassion is sincere, but rather be condescending, she actually overestimates their capabilities. A large part of this does seem to stem from Jenny not having interacted with any other robots on her level of sentience and personality.
  • Death Glare: Jenny gives a particularly nasty one to Tuck after he calls the Wizzly World robots a bunch of "stupid robots."
  • Shout-Out: The episode has Jenny, Brad and Tuck going to a theme park called Wizzly World, an obvious parody of the Disney Theme Parks. Rides include a parody of "it's a small world" called "The World Ain't So Big", an Autopia-esque attraction called "Rush Hour", and Rocket to the Moon-esque attraction. Jenny is angered by the park's animatronics being forced to entertain the guests and encourages them to fight back. This, of course, backfires on her spectacularly.
  • You Know I'm Black, Right?: This exchange:
    Jenny: You think you're better than them!
    Tuck: DUH! They're just stupid robots! (cue the 6-and-a-half foot, 600 pound walking weapons platform giving him the Death Glare)
    (Tuck makes a face that literally spells Oh, Crap! and covers his big mouth)

Call Hating

Sneaky Jenny.... unfortunately for her, her mother is sneakier!

The one with Dr. Wakeman pestering Jenny.

When Jenny hangs up on Dr. Wakeman one too many times, the doctor is forced to take drastic measures. Now, Dr. Wakeman is on the communicator constantly... and Jenny can't turn it off.

"Call Hating" contains examples of:

  • Blob Monster: The Monster of the Week.
  • Doomed New Clothes: Tuck walks home with a fresh haircut and a white tuxedo. He manages to dodge a number of mud puddles, but then gets slimed by a giant Blob Monster.
  • Gelatinous Encasement: Jenny hastily deals with the giant slime monster by shredding it through a gelatin factory's ventilation system. Turns out she didn't kill it, she just split into the jello cups at her school lunch. The monster encases Jenny's classmates, and she struggles to find a method of fighting it without her schoolmates taking any collateral damage.
  • My Beloved Smother: Nora takes this to extremes, forcibly hijacking Jenny's telecommunicator to remain active at all times.
  • Put on a Bus: Jaxon, a new student at Tremorton High whom Jenny has a crush on, makes his sole appearance in this episode.

"They're just stupid robots."

Jenny accuses Brad & Tuck of thinking low of the animatronics she freed from Wizzly World. Tuck confirms this, calling them "just stupid robots", before realizing who he's talking to.

How well does it match the trope?
