Recap / The 7 DS 2 E 13 B What Are You Five

Go To

Finally fed up with the 7D for stopping her plans and making her look like a laughingstock among the witches community, Hildy tries to get rid of them once and for all but turns them into five-year-olds which the Glooms use to their advantage.

The episode has the following tropes:

  • Alas, Poor Villain: Hildy getting humiliated on Johnny Sage's show. Twice.
  • Amusing Injuries:
    • Hildy getting squished by the 7D at the start of the episode.
    • Lord Starchbottom pole-vaulting into the wall.
  • Artistic License – Engineering: The 7D drive the bumper cars out of the ride and to the castle. It would be impossible to drive a bumper car out of the ride itself because the car itself has a large rubber bumper all around it, which driving into the wall would just cause the car to bump backwards. Also, the car runs on electricity carried by a pole on the back of the car that leads up to a wire grid in the ride's ceiling, without it, the car wouldn't run at all.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: The five-year-old 7D get distracted while trying to get to the castle.
  • Baby Morph Episode: Downplayed. Hildy turned the 7D into five-year-olds.
  • Bait-and-Switch:
    • The plot where Hildy (and possibly the audience) thinks she found a spell to get rid of 2 of the 7D. Turns out she turned them into five-year-old kids.
    • When Lord Starchbottom tries to pole vault himself to the balcony and...ends up on the wall, only a few feet away from the balcony.
    • When Grim is seen with a clipboard, it looks like he's writing down something important, but Grim being Grim he draws a unicorn instead.
  • Blowing a Raspberry: Five-year-old Sneezy does this during the 7D's first confrontation with the Glooms.
  • Body Horror: The Glooms inflating their heads like balloons to entertain the 7D can be funny and horrifying.
  • The Bus Came Back: Johnny Sage returns from season 1 for a major appearance.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The mush that the 7D were eating is the thing that defeats the Glooms the second time.
  • Continuity Nod:
  • Cuteness Proximity: Admittingly, the 7D look really adorable as five-year-olds.
  • Did You Get a New Haircut?: Queen Delightful thinks that the five-year-old 7D were busy shaving.
  • Double Meaning: When Doc says [Hildy] popped, it could mean her head literally popped or that she's going to be mad soon enough.
  • Double-Meaning Title: The title references Grumpy saying "What are you, five?" to someone and the plot of the episode where Hildy regressing the 7D to five-year-olds.
  • Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Apparently, Bashful had this when he was little. Whenever the Bing-Bong Bell goes off, he says "Pweety Wady" rather than "Pretty Lady". He eventually grows out of it as he gets older or when he's back to normal.
  • Epic Fail:
    • When trying to reach the inside of the castle to ring the bell, Lord Starchbottom tries to dig into the castle with a spoon.
    • When trying to reach the inside of the castle to ring the bell the second time, Lord Starchbottom tries to pole vault into the castle. He ends up crashing into the wall.
    • The young 7D's first confrontation with the Glooms. Let's just say...it doesn't go so well for them.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • Johnny Sage may enjoy helping bad guys to celebrate their victory, but calls Hildy out for yelling at the five-year-old 7D and upsetting them.
    • Even though she is a villain, Hildy does have standards when she's publicly humiliated.
  • Facepalm: Sir Yipsalot does this after Starchy tries to tunnel into the castle by using a spoon.
  • Food End: The episode ends with the 7D having a food fight.
  • Food Fight: The five-year-old 7D have this at the beginning and end of the episode.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: Whenever there's a backshot of the young 7D if you look closely, five-year-old Sleepy's hair is still white, meaning that his hair was white in his youth.
  • Freudian Excuse: Happens twice.
    • Hildy's reason to get rid of the 7D? They embarrassed her in front of the witches community.
    • Her excuse for turning the 7D into kids from the start:
    Hildy: I just turned them into kids because I wanted to defeat them.
  • Getting the Boot: Literally. And lampshaded by Johnny Sage at the beginning of the episode.
  • Gone Horribly Right: When Hildy is shocked and dismayed that her spell just turned the 7D into kids, Grim states that defeating them will be like taking candy from a baby.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Hildy trying to publicly humiliate the young 7D backfires when they defeat her again on camera.
  • Irony: See Hoist by His Own Petard.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Hildy does have a point when the 7D unknowingly humiliated her in public. Twice.
  • Kids Driving Cars: After hearing the bell the fourth time the 7D drive their bumper cars to the castle.
  • Mass "Oh, Crap!":
    • The young 7D's reaction to when the Glooms called them to the castle.
    • The 7D's reaction to Hildy saying she's going to end them.
  • Musicalis Interruptus: When the 7D go ride the bumper cars at the carnival, a song called "Bumper Cars" starts playing only for Grumpy to drown out the song.
  • Mythology Gag: In the 1937 film, Snow White assumed the dwarves are children. Sure enough, the 7D actually get turned into children.
  • Never Say "Die": Hildy says this to the 7D after popping their heads:
    Hildy: I'm going to end you!
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Hildy unknowingly sends to 7D to Queen Delightful's and Starchy's location where they were motivated to fight back. The Glooms would've had Jollywood and the 7D stuck as toddlers had they didn't send them to where Queen Delightful was, and as a result wouldn't have gotten motivated by Queen Delightful to finally fight back.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • When the Glooms made the 7D cry the second time:
    Hildy: Grim! (through gritted teeth) They're making me look bad. Do something!
    • The Glooms' reaction to the 7D returning to the castle to fight back.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Hildy makes the young 7D cry with a very minor insult. Note that Grumpy (who normally doesn't take crap from anyone) and Happy (who is Sarcasm-Blind) actually felt insulted by what Hildy said and immediately start sobbing along with the others.
  • Pint-Sized Kid: The five-year-old 7D falls under this. After turning into kids the 7D becomes twice as small as their original size.
  • Prone to Tears: The 7D are five-year-olds in this episode, what do you expect?
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!:
    Grim: You're a star Hildy!
    Hildy: I! HATE! IT!
  • Rule of Three:
    • Grim uses three distractions to keep the young 7D busy until Johnny Sage arrives.
    • Grim sticks on three star stickers after distracting the 7D.
  • Running Gag:
    • Five-year-old Doc saying "evidently".
    • Five-year-old Bashful saying "Pretty Lady" in his baby talk.
    • Grim distracting the 7D.
  • Series Continuity Error: Queen Delightful states that she can't ring the Bing-Bong bell from outside the castle despite the fact she can ring the bell from the outside as shown in "Grim the Genius".
  • Skewed Priorities: Whenever the 7D try to head to the castle, they get distracted by something. Fortunately, this lasts about three times before actually heading there.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Starchbottom's first attempt at getting inside the castle is tunnelling in with a spoon. It doesn't work anyway.
  • Tempting Fate: Bashful. Twice.
    "And nothing's gonna stop us!"
  • The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: When the 7D’s ages get regressed to five, they start to show some traits of a typical five-year-old child, such as them getting distracted, getting in engaged in food fights and even crying over a small insult.
  • Title Drop: Grumpy says the episode's title after Sneezy sneezed the bowl of mush on him.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Grim entertains the 7D even though he's an enemy to them and he did it to avoid looking bad on Johnny Sage's show.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Lord Starchbottom tries to tunnel his way through the castle with a spoon.
  • Urine Trouble: Implied. When the 7D hears the bell the second time, Grumpy had a puppy lying onto him, he even says "Oh I hope that's drool". That might imply that the puppy peed on him.
  • Visual Pun: Lampshaded by Doc when he says that she popped. Well he's not wrong.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Averted. She threatened to hurt the young 7D before Grim holds her back and tells her people are watching.
