Boxman captures KO, Enid and Rad, but seems a little distracted with his dinner with Professor Venomous.
Tropes:
- The Bad Guys Win: Boxman not only defeats the bodega heroes but in doing so convinces Venomous to continue to do business with him.
- Badass in Distress: The Bodega crew spend the first half of the episode as prisoners of Boxman. While K.O. is concerned, Enid and Rad are taking it in stride, having been in this situation before.
- Boss Subtitles: Professor Venomous and Fink are introduced this way.
- Comically Missing the Point: After the heroes turn Boxman's dinner party into a pie throwing contest, Fink doesn't seem to understand this is not the regularly scheduled entertainment.Venomous: You had better have a good explanation for this.
Fink: Yeah! Coconut cream, what were you thinking?! - Curse Cut Short: When Boxman realizes what Shannon is singing.Shannon: When you're climbing up a ladder, and you're feeling something splatter, dia...
Boxman: NOOO! - A Day in the Limelight: Lord Boxman gets a majority of the focus in the episode.
- Death Trap: The episode begins with K.O., Enid and Rad captured by Boxman, who proceeds to explain how he's going to kill them. First he has them tied up and suspended over a Lava Pit, which Enid considers a classy old-school touch. Then a fan will blow them away to give them a false sense of security, only to blow them into the path of some knives hanging from the ceiling. Unfortunately, Boxman can't continue explaining what happens next because he's late for dinner.
- Dinner with the Boss: A variation with a customer instead of a boss; Boxman is having Venomous for dinner in the hopes that he continues to buy robots from him.
- Even Evil Has Standards: When K.O. sees Lord Boxman with a cooking apron and thinks he's going to cook them, Boxman says "Oh, please. I'm a villain, not a monster."
- Evil Gloating: Boxman is in the middle of this, but he's trying to prepare dinner at the same time and is too distracted to go through with it.
- Groin Attack: Rad "accidentally" spills hot soup in Boxman's lap during the dinner, and Boxman is audibly suppressing a scream.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: The Bodega employees brought pies to the dinner to throw at Boxman, Venomous, and Fink. Being fed up with them ruining his dinner, Boxman transforms Shannon's arms and Darrell into a cannon to catch the pies and fires it back at them, pinning them down, and Venomous uses the last shot to send them flying out of the factory.
- Homoerotic Subtext: A lot between Boxman and Venomous. Boxman treats the whole meeting like a date and Venomous displays some clear attraction to Boxman when he is fighting the bodega heroes.
- I Can Explain: Boxman's plea with Venomous after the Bodega team crashes their dinner party. Venomous doesn't care, he just wants to try Boxman's new toy on the interlopers.Lord Boxman: I can explain! I can explain! I can... I can... OK, I can't explain.
- Improvised Weapon: When K.O., Enid and Rad interrupt Boxman's dinner with Professor Venomous, the former tears apart Darrell and Shannon for parts and builds a pie cannon, defeating the heroes and earning Venomous' respect.
- In Love with Your Carnage: Venomous is absolutely bored with Boxman's dinner until he sees Boxman lose it and attack K.O., Rad and Enid. He immediately strikes a bond when he gets a good look at Boxman.
- Necktie Headband: You can't have a Rambo parody without a headband.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Bodega employees could have escaped and allow Boxman to have his dinner with Venomous, because Venomous only agreed to attend Boxman's dinner with plans to sever his business relationship with him, but Enid convinces the others to stay and try to ruin the dinner. They may have ruined the dinner but it drove Boxman into a Let's Get Dangerous! moment and he defeats them with his robots, which convinces Venomous to continue their business relationship.
- Pie in the Face: The Bodega team throw dozens of pies at Boxman, Venomous and Fink. When Boxman gets fed up, he builds a pie shooting robot and returns the favor.
- Politeness Judo: Attempted by K.O.Lord Boxmore: Now, where were we?
K.O.: You were about to give us juice boxes and send us back home.
Lord Boxmore: Yes, the juice boxes, I knew I put them somewhere.... D'oh! Nice try, K.O.! - Rage Breaking Point: Boxman loses it when the Bodega team throws pies at him.
- Screaming Warrior: Boxman when he goes full Rambo on the Bodega crew.
- Team Rocket Wins: Boxman actually defeated the Bodega employees with Venomous finishing them off by sending them flying out of Boxman's factory.K.O.: W-What is this?
Enid: It's called "losing".
Rad: Would a loser get to travel the open air in a vehicle made of delicious pie? I don't think so. - Temporary Bulk Change: Boxman removes his shirt and goes from pudgy to buff as he mows down the Bodega trio. Venomous can't help but take notice.
- Toilet Humor: Shannon starts singing "The Diarrhea Song" before Boxman gets her to stop.
- A Twinkle in the Sky: K.O., Enid and Rad at the end, after being shot out by Professor Venomous.
- Villain Episode: The episode ends up focusing more on Boxman than the Bodega staff, and he comes out ahead of them this time.
- Villains Out Shopping: The episode focuses on Boxman hosting a dinner for a client (who is also a supervillain). In particular, Darrell and Shannon act like very young children trying to impress their guests.
- Visual Pun: When Boxman is giving out a rather corny speech to Venomous, Fink pulls out a sign with an ear of corn on it.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Boxman tears off Shannon's arms to get parts for his pie cannon, but it's unclear if he tore up the rest of her or if she just left afterward.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Enid and Rad assume Boxman left them hanging in his Death Trap out of pure Bond Villain Stupidity. In reality, Boxman was attending to a business client, which he legitimately considers more important (so much that he was willing to ignore their attempts to escape so long as they didn't get in his way).
