The forty-eighth episode of the second season of Sonic Boom.
Inspired by a comic book that he reads, Dr. Eggman gets the idea to perform an experiment on himself so that he will become more powerful when he gets angry. The experiment backfires and instead turns him into an adorable creature.
This episode provides examples of:
- Cordon Bleugh Chef: Beth the Shrew bakes some cookies for Eggman because she felt bad that everyone in Hedgehog Village was teasing him. When Eggman tries one, he finds they taste terrible. Beth then tells Eggman that since she ran out of baking soda, she used toothpaste. In a later scene, Sonic doesn't the cookies, either.
- Enemy Mine: After Sonic overhears about Beth's predicament from Orbot and Eggman is finally able to transform into the cute creature to save her, he wastes no time rushing Eggman back to his lair.
- Extremely Overdue Library Book: In this episode, Dr. Eggman is unable to check out a book on biotechnology from the library due to his library card having been revoked, the reason being because he checked out a copy of Savage Passions' Gutamanana Heat and never returned it.
- HULK MASH!-Up: In this episode, the in-universe Clunk comic book stars Bruce Bandicoot, a Bruce Banner expy, who, from tripping over a wire and being exposed to purple rays, mutates into the Unenviable Clunk, a purple muscular version of Bruce with green pants.
- Hypocritical Humor: When Eggman finds out that the effects of the purple ray wear off permanently 48 hours after the last transformation, he comes to Amy's Anger Management Class. This exchange occurs:Eggman: You're teaching Anger Management? Aren't you just a powder keg of emotions just waiting to explode?
Amy: NO! I'M THE PERSONIFICATION OF SERENITY, YOU INSENSITIVE LOUT! - Irony: When Eggman is actively trying to make himself angry, all his attempts fail one after the other... which makes him angry at how he can't get angry, enough to finally trigger his transformation.
- Mythology Gag: When Eggman returns to his normal state after the effects of the purple ray wear off, he says that he can't remember anything, just like his weekend in Casino Night Zone.Cubot: What happens in Casino Night Zone stays in Casino Night Zone!
- Overcomplicated Menu Order: When Eggman needs to get angry so he can transform into a cute creature in time to save Beth from being crushed by his trash compactor before the effects of the purple ray permanenty wear off, he goes to Meh Burger and orders two double Meh Burgers with extra pickles on one, an order of lightly fried humdrum rings, and a large cola, half-diet, half-regular, and light on the ice, sure that Dave will get it wrong. To his dismay, Dave gets the order both correct and on time for once.Dave: A broken clock's bound to be right twice a day. By the way, do you have the time? My clock's broken.
- Race Against the Clock: When Beth accidentally falls down Eggman's trash chute, it is so narrow that not even his most svelt robot can fit in it. He has no choice but to get himself angry so that he can transform into the cute creature and be small enough to fit in the trash chute to rescue Beth before the trash compactor crushes her. However, the effects of the purple ray will permanenty wear off in thirteen minutes unless he can get angry.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Eggman finds out that his library card has been revoked because he checked out a copy of Savage Passions' Gutamanana Heat and never returned it, he exclaims "That's preposterous! I've never heard of that book! And even if I had read it, who would believe that Eloise would leave Juan Pablo for a mysterious billionaire?"
- Tempting Fate: This line from Eggman when he finds out the effects of the purple ray will wear off permanently in fifteen minutes:Eggman: Nothing's going to stop me now. (Beth knocks on the door) Oh, good, a last-minute complication.
- Villainous Rescue: Near the end of this episode, Beth accidentally falls into Eggman's trash compactor. Since Beth was kind enough to let him use her library card to check out books on biotechnology after his was revoked and gave him cookies to cheer him up after everyone teased him, he decides to return the favor by saving her, which requires him to get angry so that he can fit down the trash chute.
- The Walls Are Closing In: As Eggman tries unsuccessfully to get angry before the effects of the purple ray wear off, the walls of his trash compactor begin to close in, leaving Beth in danger of being crushed.
