Recap / Teen Titans Go S 7 E 5 A Little Help Please

Go To

The Titans are about to have a grand day at the fair, but are interrupted by a distress call from the animators themselves, who have been overwhelmed by their antics and need them to do as little as possible before the Anthropomorphic Personification of their schedule tears them apart.


Tropes:

  • Battle Discretion Shot: Ultimately, the schedule can only be defeated by battling it offscreen so it doesn't create more animation work, with the Titans noting how amazing the fight is and how it's such a shame it won't be shown.
  • Censor Box: One of the first requests by the animators to help reduce their workload is for the Titans to put these over their mouths so they don't have to animate their lips, with Cyborg noting how it implies something naughty.
  • Ignored Aesop: The episode ends with the Titans vowing to be a little less zany in the future in order to avoid stressing out their animators. Cue a Gilligan Cut to a fake "next time" segment where they have to call in all of the DC superheroes and their super-vehicles to battle dinosaurs and aliens in the middle of a flaming city during a rainstorm.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Although Robin fully supports doing as little as possible in order to help the animators, the other Titans eventually get fed up to the point of purposely disobeying all of the guidelines that were set for them. This directly leads to the schedule attacking Jump City directly, and their attempts to fight it leads to more flashy action that only empowers the schedule more.
