Voyage to the Planet of the Bikers
Year produced: 2006
Production code: 312a
Original U.S. air date: 4/25/2009
The one with Jenny and Tuck traveling to the Space Bikers' planet.
"Voyage to the Planet of the Bikers'' contains examples of:
- Easily Condemned: Averted. The biker leader points out how they are viewed favorably in the community and how Jenny and Tuck can't just reveal them as no one would believe it. Jenny and Tuck get around this by leading the Space Bikers (with their bikes) in full view of their community.
- Planet of Hats: Subverted. While Tuck and Jenny were expecting a lawless wasteland, they got an Earth-like world that wouldn't be out of place in a 1970's sitcom.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: This episode has a few.
- Upon finding the Bikers teaching at a primary school, Jenny and Tuck assume they are disguising themselves. The two had only met them when they threatened them and/or Earth, so of course they won't take the idea of their enemies being teachers who love their jobs at face value.
- The bikers themselves scoff at Jenny thinking they ride their choppers and terrorize others 24/7. As they point out they’d run out of cash and get severe saddle-sores.
- Later, when they threaten them to expose their villainy to their planet and/or their career to other villains, the Bikers are quick to point out that they won't believe them since they have no evidence... after which reality bites back at them when the two get evidence by taking a picture of them as teachers.
- The fact that Jenny and Tuck got the evidence by taking a picture on the latter's phone is also a SRO by itself. Given how neither his parents nor his brother were with him by the time the episode started and he seems old enough to have a phone, it makes sense he would carry it with him in case of an emergency.
- Once the Bikers' villainy gets exposed, they not only are shunned by their planet but lose their jobs. No one would want their kids to be around villains even if they were nice to them, given how they could be bad influences.
- Just the fact that the Bikers' villainy was exposed consists of this. All it took was someone who recognized them as villains for the truth to come out. In hindsight, this was bound to happen sooner or later.
Queen Bee
Year produced: 2006
Production code: 312b
Original U.S. air date: 4/25/2009
The one with Vexus disguising as a teenager at Jenny's school.
"Queen Bee" contains examples of:
- Easily Swayed Population: Granted, teens are dumb, but they seem to have no issue following Vexus even after Jenny exposes her (apparently they all forgot about her Near-Villain Victory in "Escape From Cluster Prime"). It took Jenny revealing her true age for them to abandon Vexus.
- Hollywood Board Games: Vexus (and most of the school) regards being in the Dungeons & Dragons club as a synonym for being an unpopular loser.
- Motive Decay: Vexus went from trying to conquer Earth and turning Jenny over to her cause to... trying to rule a High School.
- Really 700 Years Old: Jenny mentions that Vexus is 2,000 years old.
- Totally Radical: Lampshaded to hell and back. First, Brit and Tiff make fun of Jenny's outdated slang, prompting her to learn some from a 1984 dictionary. Then Queen Vexus shows up talking like she's from the 1920's and is immediately discovered and beaten by Jenny as a result. Moments later Brit and Tiff are trying to teach her to fit in and manage to rattle off every bit of slang they've ever said in about three lines of dialogue.
- Unexplained Recovery: The last time we saw Vexus, not only was she mentally unstable, but was mangled to the point where her natural abilities did not work, and that was before the trash asteroid she was on and rigged to blow exploded. Somehow, she managed to get herself a new body and is much more sound in mind, almost as if "Trash Talk" never happened.
- Villain Team-Up: The Crust Cousins aren't really villainous per se, but they do willfully align with Vexus if it means getting rid of Jenny.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Vexus, even AFTER the school finds out that she's a villain. That is, until Jenny mentions that she's 2,000 years old.
